Lynda's Question: When using EOP for projects and goals, does 10 drops need to be applied to each different project if projects are unrelated?

Machaelle's Answer: Yes.

That was easy! And on that note, we end the forum for this Virtual Open House. Everybody have a fun and safe St. Patrick's Day. See you at the next Virtual Open House!

stroy's Question: I want to create/find work that I really enjoy. This could mean changing the career that I have been working in for some time (but not happy with). I feel that I would like a complete change & I am not sure what Deva I ask for. For instance, do I ask for the Deva of my work life or the Deva of my current job? Is there another Deva I would ask for? Would much appreciate your advice. Thank you for everything you have done Machaelle.

Machaelle's Answer: If you're working with this as a soil-less garden, you would open the coning including the appropriate deva of your project. Your project would be finding a job that makes you happy.

twangheart's Question: Howdy Ya'll From AZ Skies! We experience a lot of chem trail spraying here - it affects me greatly - in fact, I know it's going on before I get out of bed - I can feel it. Many energy systems are affected - brain/nervous, eyes, lungs and an over-all "what's the point - we're being hosed with toxins sometimes daily?" I'm working w/ Jeannette on the hotline for some chronic issues. Any burning hits on this one, MS?

Machaelle's Answer: You might consider moving to an area that doesn't have plane flights. Other than that, I have nothing to suggest.

bshealingtouch's Question: Thank you and your TEAM!! It's life changing. YOU introduced me to the world of energy. My straight line thinking was over after the first book, Behaving. Deer ticks have left the property after making an arrangement with them!! Your recent books have been so timely and these forums awaken areas that I'd stepped away from. I'm especially grateful for today's comments on 'aging eyes'! THANK YOU! Keep dancing!!

Machaelle's Answer: It does seem like a theme today is "aging eyes"! Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad that you're enjoying the latest books. And I'll definitely keep dancing!

48.
Laurel's Question: What happens or what do you do when you miss the 48 hour recheck for the basic telegraph test with the essences? Does the 48 hours start at the end of the last day or just after taking the last dose? I'm just starting to switch from the old book to the new methods and need clarification. I'm impressed with the new BTT and BET so far!

Machaelle's Answer: The 48 hours starts after the last dose. Missing the 48-hour recheck means that you are now outside the rhythm of the testing that you had been going through. When you resume, the continued testing may need to be more complex to catch up. Glad you like the new Perelandra Essences book. I like it too!

47.
Louisa's Question: Just a big thank you! eager to get into the new book but taxes first, so this special on ets+ is perfect timing! I use everything you produce & so do many of my clients & it all makes a huge difference, on every level of being. So again, a big, heartfelt THANK YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING!

Machaelle's Answer: Glad today's special helps. And I think you're really going to like the new book when you get it. Thank you for your kind words and support.

Helka's Question: Hello Machaelle, I’m a microbial balancing enthusiast and find it amazing – time after time - how well a simple regular testing session works for many issues, such as broken skin or sore mucous membranes, e.g. in the mouth. Not to mention microbial balancing telegraph testing. I also use MAP sessions and flower essences and many MB solutions, and the Mouth Balancing Solution, and have used them for years already. Thank you for your wonderful work and making all of the above methods and products available for us! Helka from Finland

Machaelle's Answer: Hello Helka, Good to hear from you again. And calling yourself a "microbial balancing enthusiast" made me laugh — because not many people would use that term! But I really understand what you're saying about the Microbial Balancing Program. I agree it's outstanding. So thank you for your thank you.

45.
Jennifer's Question: Hi Machaelle! Thank you for the amazing foundation you provide for all of us in so many aspects of our lives. I started using Endocrine, Lymphatic, and Immune essences, as well as Mouth Balancing Solution in Sept. '12. In Nov. I was diagnosed with DCIS - stage 0 breast cancer. Although I am under a doctor's care, I have been treating this with alternative therapies. My question is two-fold: should I add any additional essences to my regular routine? Will the essences interfere with any alternative therapies like Gerson? Thank you so much!

Machaelle's Answer: Thank you for your kind words. I recommend to you my Health Watch on cancer (here) and that you follow those protocols. They will not interfere with any alternative therapies, or any conventional therapies. Best of luck to you.

galactic108's Question: Dear Machaelle, I have been doing MAP sessions for a couple years (a friend at Findhorn re-inspired me). I am healing abdominal pain and swelling issues (IBS and leaky gut), adrenal exhaustion and possible thryoid issues (issues with mental functioning and being overwhelmed easily, etc). While I love doing the MAP sessions, for the most part (except 2 times) I don't get answers or feedback from the team or even feel like they are there or anything is happening (however once I heard the word 'milk' and through kinesiology testingI got to take magnesium, and once I felt that they said they loved me). Do you have suggestions to help further healing? and any insights for the MAP sessions themselves? I have just finished a bottle of the lymphatic MBP and had started the immune earlier but a fly flew into the bottle while I was washing the dropper, so I threw it out! Thank you so much, I really appreciate all that you are sharing.

Machaelle's Answer: I suggest continuing with MAP. If you don't have the book, you clearly need to have the latest version. It may answer some of your questions. If you'd like to get a handle on the rest of your health issues, I suggest that you call the Question Hot Line (today until 5 p.m. or any Wednesday) at 1-540-937-3679.

43.
elementalimages's Question: I'm using the cancer protocol, using MBPs (vinegar preservative) 2x daily. (Had endometrial tumor; surgery; radiation treatment that ended nearly 4 weeks ago.) Aside from "spring cleaning" crankiness, doing amazingly well. Any chance of you offering ALL the MBPs in 8 oz. refills?

Machaelle's Answer: I'm going to pass this along to our production department, along with your address so that they can set out a contract on you because they hate it when people request 8-oz. refills! So in lieu of killing you, I suggest you take advantage of this weekends 2-for-1 special! ;-D

I am very, very pleased to hear that you are using the Cancer Protocol and that you are doing so well.

42.
Johny Alm's Question: Hi Machaelle, I asked you last fall open house regarding my DDP about LIFE WORK. I would like to tell you that it was a hell of a ride when sitting up doing my life work! Stil do it, and have nature coaching me! Thanks for all the work you have done, but you where wrong regarding the 21 of December. That rocked the chair at least for me. Have a good time at the cottage and send my love to the team over there!

Machaelle's Answer: Glad to hear you're still with us and things are still going well!

41.
herbgirl's Question: Hi Machaelle, I have the older Workbooks, and will be ordering the new Workbook today. Since my "backyard" is actually a paved patio, I do a lot of container gardening. Does the new Workbook include anything specifically about container gardening? If not, do you have any pointers for me? I grow herbs, peppers & tomatoes and a few other veggies. This year I would like to include a few blueberry plants and perhaps raspberries. Thank you in advance! I appreciate you being in service this way.

Machaelle's Answer: I do have a short section on how to retrofit the Workbook for container gardening in chapter 22. I think you're going to like using the new book!

40.
k80koch's Question: I have a chronic illness requiring doctor visits and physical therapy. I read in MAP to open a coning during these visits so your team knows what's going on. My question -- is the team just observing these appointments so when I open a MAP session at home I don't have to explain it all? Am I understanding this correctly?

Machaelle's Answer: They are observing, supporting the work and may do a little assisting as it's going on, and then when you open up the session later they continue the work. And I'm glad you're using MAP in this way.

39.
bjrhk's Question: Hello Machaelle, Thank you for Perelandra. Your products are excellent! I have used your Muscular System Balancing Solution and your Emergency Trauma Solution each twice daily for two months. The results are amazing! I have had MS for 28 years and by my MRIs I should have been in a wheel chair years ago. But I am not and I have never taken MS medicine. Through my strong trust in God I have listened to His word that I am healed. I am a cycling Spinner, eat nutritionally with lots of fresh vegetables and fruits, take vitamins, drink 80 ounces of water daily. The Perelandra Muscular Solution has given my body more flexibility, my toes for the first time in 15 years are now open, my legs are no longer ice cold but normal warm, my feet lift better and my feet and ankles are no longer swollen. Every week using the Muscular Solution I keep improving. The Emergency Trauma Solution has really brought my MS nerve pain under control. Thank you again for your excellent Perelandra products. May God always bless you abundantly.

Machaelle's Answer: I am so pleased to hear how you are being helped. It's encouraging to put effort into getting this work out and to know that it helps someone like you so well. So you've given me a big smile. And I hope that some time in the next couple of years you email us and say you've taken up marathon running ;-). The only recommendation I would add to what you're doing is to make sure you include both the MBP Immune and the Lymphatic Balancing Solutions two times daily along with the Muscular Solution. The three together might give you deeper results.

38.
paganm's Question: I look forward to trying the Natural Aging formula. For our aging eyes, what do you recommend? Also is this something we can share with older animal companions? Cheers!

Machaelle's Answer: For aging eyes (because mine are aging too!), take MBP Immune, Lymphatic and Nervous Systems Balancing Solutions twice daily. You can give these Solutions to animal companions as well. You have to give each one separately, and they only need it once a day.

I think you'll like the Natural Aging Solution — it can be a real eye opener!

37.
Kimberly's Question: Thank you so much for opening up this work and sharing your experience with the rest of us, it's changed my life much for the better! I do a lot of Co-Creative property clearing and fine tuning (with good ethics), and I've become very comfortable with all of the processes, new and old. I follow your guidelines always, and yet find myself now wishing I better understood why it is that, with the proper coning(your property deva, pan, 'me' and WB help), one could not work on one's own property long-distance? So far my understandings of God Intelligence-Nature Intelligence and that which interpenetrates it all - does not quite see how this could not work. And yet I trust you and know that I don't always ask the right questions, so I wonder if you could perhaps try to fill in a few blanks for me here? Many humble thanks!

Machaelle's Answer: Of course you could work on your own property long distance. Normally this question arises when people want to work on someone else's property long distance. These processes are not set up for that kind of "etherial" work. But as for your own property, which includes your own focus and connection, it doesn't matter where you are.

36.
Marilyn's Question: I have just recently been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and am going through some tests. I have the MBP solutions. Which ones do you suggest I use, how many drops etc.? I do use MAP and have been discussing it with them too. Thank you. Marilyn

Machaelle's Answer: MBP Immune, Lymphatic and Endocrine, taken 2 times daily. Use the number of drops as stated on each bottle label. And it's good that you're discussing this with MAP as well.

35.
Peace.calm's Question: There is a Corkscrew Willow (who we call Corky) in our back garden. After Hurricane Sandy a tree guy (who had cut all the leaf-filled branches off a neighbor's huge Willow said the mushrooms (tree fungus?) that form on Corky in the summer indicate that Corky is "dying inside"!!! After Jeanette's great advice on the Hotline for me to stop worrying & stressing over Corky I asked for Nature's Help. Now every morn & eve I ask Corky & Nature if ETS+ for Soil or for Plants is needed. Mostly the answer is "No". Much less often "Yes". Another tree guy has said only one dead branch should be removed to keep squirrels, etc. out of Corky's insides and that drainage of the small 'lake' that forms under Corky when it rains should be considered. Are we on the right track? Anything else to do for Corky? Does tree-fungus mean a tree is dying? Thanks for all you do for this saha world.

Machaelle's Answer: First of all, I would stop listening to your tree guys. You need to ask the nature intelligence of your willow all of these questions. I don't know if you have the new Workbook, but that might really help you out. You could do a Troubleshooting 2.1 Process and get an outline of what your willow needs. And I understand you've asked all of these questions of Jeannette and Beth, and we've all now answered it in the same way. Hopefully the third time is the charm and you can get on with working with your willow with confidence!

34.
Journey's Question: Machaelle, Thank you for your contribution to the field of flower essences. WHERE YOU THE FIRST TO MAKE FLOWER ESSENCES USING VEGETABLES? Thank you for this opportunity to ask you questions! Be Well!

Machaelle's Answer: I don't think I am, but I don't know. Glad you like the essences.

33.
happytr's Question: I find I'm using the new start/stop buttons for a lot of other topics with nature than just gardening. Is that ok?

Machaelle's Answer: As long as you are using them with nature, and you make sure you tell nature right up top why you're consulting them, it's fine.

32.
Uma's Question: Any plans to develop/produce drops for the eyes?

Machaelle's Answer: That's the MBP Nervous System Balancing Solution. Immune, Lymphatic and the Nervious System Balancing Solutions together would be best. Obviously you're having difficulty, so plan to take these three Solutions twice daily.

31.
Otis's Question: Dear Machaelle, Thank you for writing The Perelandra Garden Workbook in such an engaging and user friendly form that it is accessible to millons of people who urgently need the knowledge now and are likely to desperately need it before we finish this paradigm shift. My new career is to participate in the Transition initative to help my community develop resiliency against the shocks that are coming down from the dysfunction on so many levels of our environment. My focus is empowering people to take charge of their health. The Perelandra processes and products are by far the most useful. I think MAP and PKTT are the most powerful interventions that will still work if there is a major disruption of the distribution system that makes the products unavailable. In addition to these, what should I include in the course I intend to teach that people can use if they do not have access to the products? All the best! Otis

Machaelle's Answer: Oh, Otis. I'm going to have to think about that one. During the last flu pandemic, we incorporated planning for distruptions to distribution and service, and created back-up systems. We also encouraged people to keep a three-month supply of stock on hand should there be a disruption. Since MAP doesn't require anything but the book and ETS Plus, then that is an excellent thing to incorporate no matter what the world may do to us. If I can think of anything else, I'll send you a note. But in the meantime, thanks so very much for your comments about the Workbook. I'm glad you like it. It's good to hear from you.

30.
Jenny's Question: Just received Workbook in post. Am new. What ingredients can/can't be used to make compost-Southern Hemishere. What about dog feces?

Machaelle's Answer: Well you're in luck — now that you have that book, you can read it! See Chapter 9, "Spring Garden Prep and Soil" starting on page 161. And don't forget to put dog feces on your list to test. I hope you have fun with the new Workbook!

29.
qwrules's Question: How specific do SLG names need to be? For instance, if I'm writing a book, do I just use the title of the book for the name of the project, or do I use something a bit more specific (and appropriately modest) like 'Book X becomes the world's biggest seller'? Or should the SLG be retitled and re-DDP'd at different stages of the process, e.g. writing, finding a publisher, marketing?

Machaelle's Answer: Generally, using the title of your book as the name of the SLG suffices. Include in your DDP that your soil-less garden is to include writing a book, finding a publisher and marketing. If your book is any good, I doubt if you need to add "world's biggest seller," so just concentrate on the quality of what you're doing.

28.
adihdez's Question: My eight year daughter has recently been diagnosed with ADD. She struggles in school, is unable to sit still, stress and anxiety with testing and have supported her by getting rid of the sugar around the house. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to support my daughter with Perelandra products of which I love. I don't know where to start with her. Should I do a soiless garden with my daughter with respect in how to support her without loosing my cool with her. Thank you so much for the support and magnificent essence you have greated. Million thanks to nature intellegence.

Machaelle's Answer: First, Dr. Peter D'Adamo's Eat Right for Your Type blood type diet has been shown to be quite effective in helping both children and adults manage their ADD. You can learn more about that here. My upfront suggestion is to concentrate on nailing the diet she needs for support. Then give her 6 months to a year to observe that. Then call our Question Hot Line when you see what symptoms are left over to address with our products. The MBP Immune, Lymphatic and Cell Solutions might support her now, but the key focus to start with is her diet. As for your support, I would recommend ETS Plus for Humans for when your daughter goes off the wall, and a large bottle of valium! Okay, I'm joking about the valium. But not the ETS Plus!

27.
Vandella's Question: First, thank you, thank you, thank you everything you make available through Perelandra! MAP, the essences, co-creative gardening, soil-less gardens, and kinesiology testing have literally changed my life. In particular, thank you for your "autobiographical" books, they have supported me in my journey -- is there another one in the works to follow The Mount Shasta Mission?

Machaelle's Answer: You're welcome and I don't know.

26.
Pete's Question: Thank you Machaelle for your work! I've been in recovery from childhood sexual abuse -- an intensive four year period in which the Garden and Soul Ray essences have played a critical role in keeping me balanced. Would you have any specfic insight or thoughts regarding this deep level of healing and the paralandra processes? Pete

Machaelle's Answer: I'm glad the Essences have been helpful to you, and it sounds like you're using them well. I would recommend The Perelandra Essences book that came out last year. There is a section called the Extreme Trauma Repair Process using the ETS Plus for Humans that may be helpful. The chapter that includes this is available free online here.

25.
Tonya's Question: Hi Machaelle! When my husband retires in a little more than 2 years, we are looking to move south and purchase land on which to engage in some co-creative gardening on a bigger scale than the couple of raised beds we have now. I've suggested to him that we start calling the land to us to hone in on an area. Do you have any suggestions for doing this connecting thats more specific than just this vague calling? Thank you!

Machaelle's Answer: You might consider making this whole project (the search for your land and the move) a soil-less garden. Just be clear about the DDP and your goals for your soil-less garden.

24.
Solaris's Question: Thank you. I have a few questions. I am wondering how you experience the devas? Do you experience them as individual beings, and do you sense personalities, with different characteristics -- do you hear them, see them or sense them? When I do MAP sessions I do not sense any presence of devas, yet I keep doing the sessions. I also wonder if they have a neutral feeling towards humans (though helpful) or a loving feeling? And my last question, do the MBPs work even if you aren't convinced that they do? (I'd like to be convinced but for some reason I'm doubtful!) Thank you!

Machaelle's Answer: You haven't read any of my books about nature intelligence, have you?! ;-) I talk about this in the new Workbook as well as in Behaving as if the God in All Life Mattered and in Dancing in the Shadows of the Moon. I think these works will answer all of your questions.

A human being can over-ride any medication or anything that's happening around them using their free will. It's up to you what you want to do.

23.
Tracee's Question: I have tested for all 51 essences for over a year now. I have also been doing ETS+ five times a day for this same time period. I'm in my third year of using Perelandra products and processes. My PKTT skills are good and pendulum testing gives the same results. I have been healing traumatic brain injury and am experiencing remarkable changes with the ETS+ and essences. Chronic illness testing reveals that I need all 51 essences over several weeks for each symptom tested. I make up a bottle of essence solution with all 51 and take that for each symptom as I focus on it. I do receive monthly subtle energy physical therapy (Upplegger) for my head and body according to what body area is screeming the loudest that day. I am receiving huge changes with this therapy since using ETS+ and essences and the therapist keeps noticing how well my body is responding now. I have worked on this for over 25 years and, finally, am moving forward. Do you have any idea of what is going on that I seem to need all 51 essences over such an extended period and do you have any suggestions for what I might do differently? Even ETS+ just before basic essence testing makes no difference. I take all MBP solutions and Natural Ageing too. I am grateful for you and these products and processes you have brought to humanity. Thank you.

I also do MAP 4 - 5 times a week, what am I missing?

Machaelle's Answer: When you're dealing with chronic illness, it can take some time to unravel all of the layers that have created the illness. I would say in this situation, if I tested to take the 51 Essences, I would continue taking them even though I may not understand what's happening. It is an indication of the extent of damage and imbalance that has occurred with your electric system due to this long-term illness. I don't see anything that you're doing wrong, so I'm reluctant to suggest changing. A 25-year chronic illness doesn't reverse itself overnight, no matter how understandably impatient we might get. If you have any further questions, I encourage you to call the Question Hot Line any Wednesday (1-540-937-3679).

The only thing I might suggest here is that you ask your MAP how often they want you to have sessions and then kinesiology test their answer. You may be having more weekly MAP sessions than you need.

22.
Laura's Question: My dog companion is said to have an incurable nasal infection (4 yrs). Will you suggest steps to help her? (I am new, learning these protocols.)

Machaelle's Answer: I recommend ETS Plus for Animals twice daily. And MBP Immune, Lymphatic and Respiratory Solutions twice daily (but don't tell the woman with the parakeet I told you!). The MBP Solutions will provide strength in these body systems, and the ETS Plus will provide a better level of comfort. Good luck with this.

21.
AW's Question: Much appreciation for the new Workbook. It has been a big help to simplify my work with Nature through the process of addressing one of my particular Partnership's with them. I was inspired to do my first Battle Energy release process. I felt a shift and experienced a letting go of energy. I am so glad I was able to do such a thing to help with the healing of the planet. Thank you for all of your work and help. AW

Machaelle's Answer: I'm really pleased that the new book has supported your movement in these directions, and that you find the new Workbook helpful.

20.
Sylvia's Question: Greetings and much appreciation for all you do. My question is this: For someone experiencing adrenal burnout, along with MAP sessions, do you recommend doubleing up on the dosages of Endocrine MB Solution? Any other suggestions? Thank you!

Machaelle's Answer: Take Immune, Lymphatic and Endocrine twice daily, but you don't need to take it more than that.

19.
Linda's Question: Hello, I am wondering if you may ever allow people on this beautiful land again? I live within 30 minutes, and only learned of Perelandra once you stopped allowing people. Is there ever a circumstance that you might? Thank you for all that you do! Linda

Machaelle's Answer: The amount of money you would have to pay my staff triple-time overtime to disrupt their workdays and get the place ready for an on-site Open House probably would be waaay more than you could afford. And it just wouldn't be fair to accept visits from local folks while at the same time discourage long-distance and international visits.

18.
Laura's Question: Gracious Greetings Machaelle. Thank you for being here today. I have 2 quick, unrelated questions. 1. Is it ok to pour the small amount of balancing solution at the bottom of a 2-oz. bottle into a newly opened bottle? If not, do you have any suggestions for collecting the last bit that the dropper just can't get!? 2. Do you think the urinary solution would help with an annoying bladder at night that wakes me up to pee and disrupts my sleep? I'm in my mid 40's and was told by my gynecologist years ago that I have a small bladder. I minimize my liquid intake after dinner and still wake up a couple times a night to pee. I take the lymphatic and respiratory solutions nightly. Do you think adding the urinary solution would help with this issue? If you answer oui oui, I may pee in my pants!! Thanks for EVERYTHING!!!

Machaelle's Answer: 1. Sure, as long as the old Solution isn't contaminated you can pour it into a new bottle. 2. Of course add Urinary Solution for your bladder. But understand that it's not going to make your bladder grow. But also, I'm surprised that you aren't taking Immune with your Lymphatic Solution. That may help as well. So have fun peeing! And if you want a good laugh about a small bladder, watch the movie "Paul"!

17.
Robin's Question: Although not widely publicized -- a good many of the doctor's who specialize in treating Lyme disease are now beginning to believe that much of the problem with their patients may in fact be due to parasites -- as in Helmiths (worms), and not only due to Lyme microbes. Know this is probably a long shot, but any chance of there ever a Perelandra product specific to parasites and/or Lyme other than the current suggested protocol that you and Perelandra offer. Yes, I admit it, Machaelle -- it their is a quicker fix in the offing, I'm usually first in line, as long as it doesn't mean popping a pharma drug! Thanks very much

Machaelle's Answer: Other than the Microbial Balancing Program which includes parasites in the process, and the current products we have, you're just going to have to suffer through it and go for the effective fix instead of the quick fix.

16.
aws.mks's Question: We are in the process of closing the sale on our house. This was our first SLG that we have done. And during this process I have learned many things and thus has helped me to grow. We will be moving to Missouri to build a EarthShip. We have our land purchased. I didn't not know until just recently that we were being guided to buy the land that we did even though we did not open a SLG. Which is cool. We have a new DDP that will be activated once we make the move. Nature has helped us with this DDP because it is a multiple phase project. The first phase is for placement of two garages a EarthShip house and future gardens. Is the best way to let nature tell us where these buildings should go would be to open the SLG and stand in a spot and ask would this be the best spot for the house and so forth? We have 3 buildings and gardens to plan for. We want these buildings to be in balance with each other and the land itself. Can you tell me if you would do anything different with this?

Machaelle's Answer: I would treat the buildings as gardens and use the layout as described in the new Garden Workbook when placing them. I wish you well with your project!

15.
Mary's Question: Hi, I use and love MAP, am dealing with chronic illness, it it possible to use conings outside of SLG / MAP, etc? I found (for me at this time) the SLG processes a bit overwhelming, but would still like to utilize conings. P.S. My MAP [team] kept giving me green & St. Patrick last night, I asked why and they said "Well you like St. Patricks Day!" lol. Thanks, Mary

Machaelle's Answer: One thing I want to make clear is that the MAP coning is to be used only when you're doing MAP sessions. As for other situations, you don't have to open a coning. You just need to think for a minute, ask nature to help you, tell them what you'd like to do, and they'll work with you. Have a Happy St. Patrick's Day.

14.
Anonymous's Question: Thank you for the new Garden Workbook – superb, revelatory! – esp. the Nature sessions. My biggest take-away is to ask more questions. It never occurred to me to ask if/when I should weed or deadhead. I’ve always done them immediately as I was taught to do in childhood and never questioned. Also, the “Pan on Plant Energy Fields” section on pg. 143 was mind-blowing – and really demonstrates the need to ask waaaay more questions about every action in and out of the garden. Can’t thank you enough! Your best work yet.

Machaelle's Answer: I'm really pleased to hear what the Workbook has given you. One of my goals in writing the book was to give people a much clearer idea of when to ask questions, and encourage them to work in partnership way more than I felt the first Workbooks did. So I appreciate what you've said. You made me smile.

13.
Phyllis's Question: NOT a question -- thank you for the reply. Great! Appreciate the clarity to think this through and list my goals. The Deva of the particular markets or stocks -- I'll ask Pan when the time comes. Aprpeciate you being there and following your connections all these years. Love to you and yours!

Machaelle's Answer: Glad I could help.

12.
Peace.Calm's Question: I am so fortunate to have found Perelandra. So is my husband. Tell you specifically why at another time. My question is: I have never thought of 'GOD' as the guy-in-the-sky definition introduced to us when we entered this world. For me God is an 'Unfathomable' Energy Force Intelligence, so I wonder if this "Unfathomable"-ness is because It is a grander, different Intelligence than human intelligence (just as Nature is) that communicates without language as we know it (as Nature does). Honestly, I am NOT trying to get 'spiritual,' but wonder if there is any connection between Nature Intellegence & this God Intelligence?

Machaelle's Answer: The only thing that I can say to you is that nature intelligence is an intelligence on its own that is inclusive of and compatible with God intelligence. But they are not one in the same. Nature intelligence is its own independent dynamic.

Cobalt's Question: Hi, I'm enjoying the new The Perelandra Garden Workbook . Thank you for the caution on "bio-solids." I was wondering if cotton burr meal is safe to use in the vegetable garden? It smells too bad to be good, smells of chemicals.

Machaelle's Answer: I think you need to ask nature if you are to use cotton burr meal in your garden. Let nature tell you if it's compatible.

RKalra's Question: What's the difference between your new Garden Workbook and the older ones that have been out for years? Ok to keep using the older ones or have a lot of the processes/information been updated?

Machaelle's Answer: The difference is my 25 years of experience between the old ones and the new one. I say it better, I streamline the process more, the research in the past 25 years has been dramatic, and personally I would not use the older Workbooks now because of these differences. I think when you switch over, you'll see that co-creative gardening is simpler and works better.

risingpeace's Question: I am brand new to your site and your products. I want to place an order, but not sure where to start. Also, my husband has very bad dry cracked skin on his hands and feet, to the point where they are bleeding and feeling numb. What product would you recommend he takes.

Machaelle's Answer: Okay, I think you need a little extra help because you're new, so why don't you call Jeannette on the Question Line now (1-540-937-3679). She can talk to you about the different products.

Karen's Question: RE: MBP, Since Jan. I have been working with the MBP for arthritic pain. After proceeding through many charts...now using TT testing... Do I continue to call the issue the same thing?... Or do I need a new name for the next series of charts since I am still in pain? Thanks from Karen

Machaelle's Answer: No, continue to call it arthritis. But if you suspect that it's not arthritic pain, when you write arthritis, put quotes around it to indicate that it might be something else.

Robin's Question: Greetings Machaelle :) Know it's been said before, but I'll say it again -- a big thank you for doing all that you do, and sharing it with the rest of us! MAP has been a true life saver for me all these years, I kid you not. Ok my question -- I have a parakeet, whom I would like to administer MBP solutions to, at least the 3 primary ones, however, taking those specified drops, and putting them in his tiny beak, well, it's not an option and not feasible, honestly. So into his drinking water it goes -- does he still get any benefit whatsoever taking it this way?

Machaelle's Answer: Thanks for the thanks! There's no benefit if you're mixing the MBP Solutions in the water together. And quite frankly, I suspect you're annoying your parakeet to death. Why not just let your parakeet naturally reach its balance on its own. It's probably going to be much easier than we humans trying to reach balance on our own. If the parakeet is ill, give him ETS Plus for Animals and simplify its life.

Susan's Question: I'm thinking that now is not the right time for me to start the new Garden Workbook so am planning on continuing the 'old' method I've done for years...do you think this is alright until I get some slack time to start transitioning?

Machaelle's Answer: Start the Workbook when you feel comfortable. You can even start it in the middle of your gardening season this year. I tell you on page 29 of the Workbook how to shift a conventional garden to a co-creative garden, even when you're making the shift in mid-season.

Kim's Question: So much appreciation for your work. I am having the time of my life working with nature. I would REALLY like to hear them more clearly... my thumbnail is trashed from all this kinesiology testing! Any suggestions? Again many thank yous!

Machaelle's Answer: If your thumbnail is trashed, you're not doing kinesiology well and you're putting too much pressure on it. So my first suggestion is to back the pressure off your thumbnail. Continue having the time of your life and perhaps someday in the future, you'll "hear" more clearly. Until then, thank your lucky stars you have kinesiology.

Phyllis's Question: Have been following perelandra and using so many processes throughout my day, in my life. Have you met anyone using their Trading business -- with stocks and options-- as their garden? I am writing my Trading Plan (essentially like a business plan) and not sure which deva other than Pan and the Deva of "My trading practice" to include.

Machaelle's Answer: Okay, this is interesting. My first thought is that you are going to need to be very clear and very careful when putting together your DDP for your trading business. Be sure to think this out and list your goals. Because as a soil-less garden, these are the guidelines nature will take into consideration when moving you through your trading business. The Deva of your Trading Business Practice and Pan, plus the appropriate deva(s) for your project are who to include. If anyone else needs to be added later on, you'll get the hint from your coning. But your focus needs to be right up front to make sure that your DDP is clean and clear. This could be quite an adventure for you.

Anonymous's Question: My husband has early stage rectal cancer, which we are treating alternatively. But he also has a very debilitating condition since mid Nov. which has not been diagnosed. He's had a PET scan, an MRI, x-rays, ultrasound, & too many blood tests to count. They all show a healthy man, which he is defiantly Not! He has lost 35 pounds, he is often weak and exhausted, has night sweats, pain in his limbs so bad that he's on morphine, and episodes of jerky neuropathy. None of the MDs, acupuncturist, naturopath, or massage therapist have a clue. What do you recommend?

Machaelle's Answer: I would put him in MAP and let the MAP teams have at him. The way MAP is set up allows the teams to see what's going on on more levels than just the obvious or physical. Here's the link to MAP, see if you and he feel comfortable with this: MAP: Medical Assistance Program

I would also recommend that he take the MBP Immune and Lymphatic Systems Balancing Solutions twice daily to strengthen his immune system. And while he's going through this, he can take ETS Plus 5 times a day to help him through the pain and discomfort. If none of this makes sense, today's the day to call the Question Hot Line (1-540-936-3679) and Jeannette explain what I'm talking about.

Rita's Question: Hello, I'm seeking a bit of advice. My husband will be undergoing bunion surgery in a few weeks. It is my understanding that he should take ISBS and LSBS a couple of weeks prior. I'm thinking that he should take ETS on the morning of and certainly after surgery. I'm also thinking that he should take SSBS during his recovery as well. Am I on the right track and is there anything else that would help? Thank you and best of luck with your new book. I am unable at the moment to purchase it but hopefully in the near future. Thanks for all you do to help us help ourselves.

Machaelle's Answer: Good for you Rita! That sounds like a good plan. If he has any pain or reaction after surgery, he can take ETS Plus for that as well.
