Oaths

When doing professional MAP on a friend, I discovered an unhappy constellation of behaviors and events that happened in conjunction on several occasions.  When considering the cause of unwanted outcomes, one coincidence in timing can be just that – a coincidence.  If it happens more than once, however, I opt for trying to find a link.

I began using muscle testing to determine if the nasty conjunction were due to either traumas or karmas, from this life or another, and got a no answer both times.  I paused here, but the word ‘pattern’ kept repeating inside me, letting me know there was a link.  I confirmed that the two events were related, and then sat in open-minded quiet for a minute or two.  The word “oath” came into my mind, and through muscle testing was confirmed as being the primary source of the two unwanted outcomes. 

In my Karma & Company series of articles, I’ve outlined what Nature has told me of the unseen, unknown constraints on human endeavor, many of which may be unavailable to our conscious memory.  When I am feeling stuck or puzzled about some part of my feelings or behaviors, or have a client feeling the same way, I always ask if one of the list of Karma & Company (my name for them, not Perelandra’s) dynamics can be responsible.  This is not always the case, but they are part of the toolbox of Perelandra and MAP-like research I can apply to healing a problem area. 

I’d heard through various sources that oath-taking is a very tricky business, and it seems oaths can still warp our frequencies lifetimes later.  What may have seemed to be the best, most prudent, wisest, or maybe even life-saving course of action in one lifetime can be an impediment or constriction in another.  Truths we accepted as inviolable in other lifetimes can be nothing more than child-like fantasies in a more mature personage.  As we grow and mature, the frequencies of less-developed thoughts become inappropriate for our current energies, and can begin to make problems.  Being lodged in our subconscious leaves us with little knowledge of their existence, other than surmising their presence by observing patterns of behaviors or outcomes.  All of these impediments will eventually work themselves out of our systems as we grow and change, but tossing them out now can speed up our evolution.  If one is curious one can investigate the cause of any kind of karma or trauma or oath, but unless one is actively working off something as part of this lifetime’s purpose, it is not necessary for its full removal.  One can just toss it out, and still get full benefits from its removal.

When I said the word “oath” to my friend, she got a clear, immediate vision of an imprisoned iconoclast that must have been her past self.  I got her to repeat the steps below to remove it from her system, and we closed the coning.

Curiosity aroused, I later asked my MAP team if any oaths were inhibiting my own growth, and was answered in the affirmative.  I confirmed that I was ready to release it, in other words that it was not part of something I was actively working through at this time, and followed the steps below.  Upon closing the coning, I felt very good, lighthearted, and invigorated. Relieved. This feeling persisted for several days.  I have no idea of the nature of the oath, but my feelings subsequent to the coning verify that a shift for the better occurred, and my team concurred.

An oath is a binding agreement, and typically involves loyalty, devotion or promises to adhere to a creed or school of thought, as well as an understanding of some form of punishment if the oath is broken.  An agreement, oath’s innocuous cousin, differs in that it is typically about an exchange, and is limited in impact or duration.  Wedding vows include the phrase “’til death do us part”.  Therefore we do not have to marry the same person lifetime to lifetime.

Here’s how:

1.  Open a MAP coning, and use PKTT to determine if any essences or solutions are needed.

2.  Ask your team if any oaths taken in this or former lifetimes are inhibiting your growth or healing, and are ready to be removed.  If the answer is no, close the coning and go on with your day.  If the answer is yes, ask if there is more than one oath currently affecting you, and then ask if there is to be a waiting period between addressing them.  Continue to step #3.

3.  You may be curious about the nature of this oath, and the circumstances around its inception.  If so, take the time now to query your team on this matter.  If you are not that interested in this information, continue to step #4.  Having or not having this information will in no way affect your ability to fully remove its influence on your life.

4.  Say out loud “I request that Oath #1 leave my entire system and go on its way to the next step in its evolutionary path”.  In this manner we recognize that this oath was considered valuable to a former self, honor it as such, but remove it from our current path.

5.  Wait 10 seconds, or until you feel a shift.  Test for essences or solutions.

6.  Repeat step #4 by saying “I request that Oath #2… (or #3 or however many Oaths are affecting you at this time) until you have removed each of them, unless one of them tested positive for a waiting period.  Test for essences or solutions after each is done.

7.  Ask your team how much more time the coning should continue.  When this time is completed, close down the coning and again use PKTT to test for essences, EOP, etc.

I think of these and the other Processes I have developed using the Perelandra materials as a kind of spiritual housekeeping.  Things that you are no longer using can trip you up if they are left lying around.

Enjoy.

ML Farm Energy Report

Tuesday September 19, 2017

Cornerstone Studios
121 MacDougal Street #19
New York, NY 10012

Attn:  ML

RE:  Report for energy work for Greenwich Property (Soliphilia Farm)

Project Mission:  (composed by Jill Emerson, revised in morning group discussion 9.18.17) To improve the balance of Soliphilia Farm for the Earth, the owner and all inhabitants, seen and unseen.  To remove any blocks to prosperity that threaten the ownership of Soliphilia Farm and its lands by ML.  The Farm and its lands support ML financially and give her equity.

(Additional intent:  Bring more fun and love to Soliphilia Farm.)

The overall energy of the Farm was, prior to any work being done by Jill Emerson, quite high – 8.5 out of a possible ten.  This indicated the farm was ready to move forward.  Some energy blocks existed, however, and their details and amelioration thereof are as noted below:

                1.  The three energy processes below are generally utilized to remove darkened, stagnant energies of the past.  The energies involved are primarily human.
                                a.  Energy Cleansing (performed by Jill Emerson remotely):  This process removes accumulated energies of human thoughts and emotions from the land and sends them gently and respectfully along the path to the next step in their evolutionary journey.  It was during this process that a pink stain was spotted in the southeast corner of the property.  Pink or red typically denote animal deaths, and it was discovered that a large group of animals perished simultaneously in that area due to a fire.  They apparently ran from another part of the property to escape the fire, only to be trapped by a steep cliff, or possibly another area of flames.  (Kay had indicated in working with ML that this very area was a good place to do remedial energy work.)
                                b.  Battle Energy Release (performed by Jill Emerson remotely):  Battle energy covers the entire planet, if the word ‘battle’ is expanded to include animals being pursued by predators, vicious arguments, or divorces.  If we include these definitions, we see that there is most likely not an inch of this Earth that is free from these energies.  Soliphilia has hosted no less than:  a murder; three people being killed in a French and Indian War skirmish; and a foreclosure.  In this process, Jill Emerson showed up as a representative for humanity and worked co-creatively with the Nature Spirits to lift the burden of these energies from the soil, water, trees and plants of the Farm.
                                c.  Essences Process:  The entire northeast United States was clear-cut three times, and Soliphilia got its share  of this trauma in being clear-cut twice.  The bewildering effect this would have on the local biospheres is incalculable, really staggering.  The flower essences were used on-site to balance out and heal this trauma.

                2.  Mental self of ML:  In mentioning the indication that this process was needed to ML, she immediately knew what this referred to:  Multi-generational poverty consciousness.  ML has been actively working with this issue for some time, and a White Brotherhood Medical Assistance Process coning was opened in order to give general support to ML, but also to change a subconscious thought pattern through an affirmation given by the Nature Spirits:  I am open to releasing the Farm (three repetitions needed).

                3.  Two more energy processes were needed under the heading ‘environmental’ (meaning the atmosphere, in broadest sense of that word, on the physical, emotional, mental or spiritual levels of the Farm):
                                a.  Meeting/brainstorming – the group handled this with brilliance and love, a wonderful experience to be part of, teasing out possible meanings and solutions regarding the current state of the Farm.
                                b.  Organizing, reorganizing, or relocating – when this was mentioned to ML she knew exactly what it referred to, which is the location of the housing.  A spot almost exactly in the center of the farm is higher above the water level of the river (in case of flooding), quieter, more private, has more of a view and has much more serene energy.  It’s also nestled amidst the heart of the fields.  After viewing the area I agreed with ML that this is a far more satisfactory location for any houses. Even on a symbolic level, the current location of the living quarters means that the rest of the Farm is ‘all uphill from here’ – not a pleasant metaphor.  (ML, it just occurred to me, perhaps you could quickly assemble a symbolic ‘house’ out of sticks there to ground this process, some time when you need to retreat a bit or meditate.)  I can see a future for the land and Farm in which additional worker housing may be needed, or perhaps the B & B can take over both houses lower on the land.

And last but not least, the mandala.  This was created with the intent to balance and heal the experience of the animals fleeing from, and then perishing in, fire.  As such it was assembled in an area some of them had been grazing in when the fire appeared.  Using animal food materials found at the site was deeply moving, and grounded our intent to the land in a way nothing else could.  The location Nature wished us to use could not possibly have been more clearly indicated.  The three reindeer moss patches, in my mind, echoed the three of us there in support of ML, and the yellow feather found already sticking out of the ground, well, I’ve never seen a more dramatic exclamation point, and pointer saying “Right here”!!  I will never forget the experience of bringing ourselves, our intent, materials, love, silence, and bountiful wishes together in one heartfelt ritual.  Ending with a silent enactment/dancing of “I, Sacred Human” was pure glee.  I agree with Eeo that we summoned the cleansing rain, which led us to our bonus – wild apples.  So very rich.

I feel we accomplished a lot in a mere 24 hours or so.  It’s also great been a pleasure to work with you on this beautiful land and Farm, and I know we have left the place better than we found it.  Best wishes, our hearts will be with you.

Submitted Respect and Love,
Jill Emerson

Perennial Vegetables Hearty to Zone 5

Perennial Plants for Your Vegetable Garden:  Hearty to Zone 5

I’ve been thinking lately that gardening can be much more efficient, easier, and more fun than we currently experience it.  The graying hair on the heads of many of my gardening friends says to me that we have to emphasize efficiency, as we wish to participate in this calming, zen activity for as long as possible.  These thoughts led me to explore perennial vegetables.

American garden and agricultural practices reflect their European roots.  Perennial plants were rare in Europe when our ancestors left there, and the American settlers were resistant to learning new agricultural lore from the Native Americans.  In fact, growing systems utilized here at the time of their arrival quite possibly did not even register as agriculture, and the immense dark forests were frightening to settlers raised on lands that had been cultivated for generations.  They arrived with the grains, legumes and annual vegetables that were their staples back home – plus the livestock needed to break up the soil for planting these each year.

As our understanding of no-till soil fertility increases, as well as our appreciation of permaculture, which emphasizes efficiency, we begin to embrace perennial plants.  The labor savings of perennials is their premier virtue, but there are additional benefits.

1.        You plant it once and reap the benefits for many years:  Any gardener with shovel or hoe in hand is preparing for hard, sweaty work.  Who wants to maximize this activity?

2.       Love that low maintenance:  Perennial roots can go deeper into soil, thereby requiring less watering, and come up earlier in the season, beating out annual weeds.

3.       Extended harvest means more food, more seasons:  Many perennial plants put out tender clusters of leaves in the fall as they prepare to expand their territory or feed next season’s underground bulbs.  Their leaves sprout earliest in the spring as well.

4.       No-till systems benefit soil fertility: Leaving the soil’s crumb structure intact ensures healthier soil and plants, as well as avoiding the tragedy of earthworms cut in half.

5.       A more lush beauty can be found in the heartier growth of perennials than in most of the smaller annuals.

6.       Landscaping with these plants can save valuable vegetable garden space:  A border of daylilies along a front porch is lovely, as well as a source of food.  Some deer resistant perennials can thrive in shade, woods, streams, or wild areas adjacent to a lawn, saving valuable garden bed space for annuals. 

7.       Permaculture benefits include multiple foods from one plant:  Short-lived annuals’ brief lives typically limit their edible contributions to a single type of leaf, bulb, flower or fruit.  Some heartier perennials can be managed to create a permaculture plant - a plant bearing three or more foods in the same growing season.

8.       Perennial plants condition the soil around their roots:  Mycelia, bacteria and minerals are drawn by plant roots as needed, and a perennial plant doesn’t have to start from scratch every year.  More of its vitality can be devoted to its edible gifts.

There can be drawbacks.  More planting space may be needed for situations in which the most of the plant is harvested, for example, ramps.  Planting two years worth of ramps is the only way to let half of the patch regenerate for an entire season after some or all its leaves have been harvested.  Some pruning or thinning, even removing of aggressive perennials may be needed on occasion, as well.  Additionally, some perennials require remaining undisturbed, not harvested, their first growing season, only producing the desired foods the second year.

Perennial Vegetables Hearty to Zone 5:
Asparagus (second-year plant) :  Left to their own  devices during the first growing season, second-year plants will reward you with hearty spears for many seasons.

Comfrey, symphytum x uplandica (http://www.susunweed.com/herbal_ezine/June08/wisewoman.htm) Although the large leaves of this valuable plant need to be cooked prior to eating, they are a powerhouse of nutrients for humans and plants.  Chop some fresh leaves fine and soak prior to filtering into your watering can, and you will give all other plants in your garden a free potassium boost.  Or put them with some water in a blender and pour into a bucket of water for the same nutrient-dense effect. 

Daylilies, Hemerocallis fulva or the yellow H. lilioasphodelus (only these two) (http://www.motherearthnews.com/organic-gardening/how-to-sustainably-harvest-daylilies-zbcz1307),  (deer resistant):  Thriving on sun and neglect, these permaculture plants provide edible spring shoots, flower buds that are prepared like green beans, and edible flowers and fall tubers.  As aggressive as they are hearty, they’re best used in an area outside of the vegetable garden, or in an area around which one can mow.

Garden Rhubarb (Rheum x cultorum or Rheum x hybridum)(second-year plant, deer resistant):  Beneficial as a pioneer plant, meaning it will grow in poor soils while improving them, rhubarb is also a great ground cover.  The large leaves will shade out weeds while funneling available water to its roots.  Another plant best left undisturbed the first year.  The flower heads are edible as well as the stems.

Garlic (http://www.onestrawrevolution.net/One_Straw_Revolution/Article_Garlic_Plant_Once.html )(deer-resistant): There are many varieties of garlic, some producing delicious harvestable scapes and some not.  Smaller bulbs left in the soil at harvest’s end will become next year’s mature garlic.

Garlic chives, allium tuberosum (deer-resistant): These hearty wonders can be eaten as a salad green, cooked, or dried.

Good King Henry, chenopodium bonus-henricus (http://tcpermaculture.blogspot.com/2012/02/permaculture-plants-good-king-henry.html) (second-year plant):  This is a true permaculture plant.  Good King Henry is in the same family as spinach, so its leaves are used in much the same way.  Its shoots are eaten like asparagus, flower buds like broccoli, and the seeds are an edible grain. Add its ability to grow in some shade, and this is a prince among plants.  Allow the first growing season to establish vitality prior to harvesting leaves the second year.

Groundnut, Apios Americana:  A plant utilized by the Native Americans, this vine boasts subtle purple flowers and edible tubers. A few tubers left in the ground at the end of the season will ensure next season’s growth.  A great addition placed near a trellis or nearby shrub, vines take advantage of vertical space at the edge of a garden or bed.

Jerusalem Artichoke, Helianthus tuberosus, strain Stampede (second-year plant):  These sunny wonders are very invasive, and should be grown in their own bed, one that can be mown around, in containers on a porch or in a patch of wild space at the perimeter of a lawn.  Tubers are a good potato alternative - great for pollinators, too.

Lovage, Levisticum officinale:  This hearty perennial is a great celery substitute, with leaves and stems more powerfully flavored than the supermarket staple.  Only a single plant is needed, as it can reach six feet in height, which may make it perfect for the back of a vegetable or flower bed.  Tolerates partial shade.

Ostrich Fern, Matteuccia struthiopteris:  A shade-happy camper, the fiddleheads from these highly ornamental greens are a delicacy in early spring.

Ramps , Allium tricoccum (deer-resistant):  Both tubers and leaves are edible from this shade lover.  Ramps can be naturalized under trees to save garden space.  Harvest only leaves, and only half of them, in order to ensure plants survive from season to season.

Scarlet Runner Beans, Phaseolus coccineus:  A permaculture hero:  young leaves, tubers and beans (beans both as green beans and dried) are gifts of this plant.

Sea Kale, Crambe maritime: This favorite is usually grown as an ornamental, and its pretty sea-foam or pink leaves are a nice contrast to most vegetables.

Sorrel, Rumex acetosa:  Fresh fall leaves feed new bulbs that will grow around the parent plant, so allow for some expansion space when planting.  Tolerates partial shade.

Walking Onions, Allium cepa var. Viviparum (deer-resistant):  Tiny onions are produced at the top of the stems.  This plant can be aggressive, so consider giving it its own bed. 

Watercress, Nasturtium officinale:  Grow from seed in running water, or toss a harvested bunch with roots intact into a small stream or riverbed for years of effort-free greens.  Permaculture traits include edible spring shoots, mature leaves, and edible seeds.  Growing along moving water saves garden beds for other favorites.
Wild Arugula, Diplotaxis tenuifolia (deer resistant):  This peppery cousin of the supermarket arugula is actually a self-seeding biennial, which means it still only has to be planted once if some plants are allowed to go to seed.  Mulching the woody stem over the winter will ensure years of delicious, crisp greens.

Healing Copper Coils for Trees and Plants

Quote from:  The Secret Life of Plants
Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird (Harper & Row, 1973, pp:  ???)

“To try to establish the cosmic origin of the energy, Lakhovsky decided to dispense with the device he had dreamed up to produce artificial rays and tap natural energy from space. In January, 1925, he picked one of a series of geraniums previously inoculated with cancer and surrounded it with a circular copper spiral thirty centimeters in diameter, its two unjoined ends fixed in an ebonite support. After several weeks he found that whereas all the control geraniums inoculated with cancer had died and dried up, the plant ringed with the copper spiral was not only radiantly healthy but had grown twice as high as uninoculated controls. These spectacular results led Lakhovsky into a complex theory as to how the geranium had been able to pick up from the vast field of waves in the external atmosphere the exact frequencies which enabled its cells to oscillate normally and so powerfully that the cancer afflicted cells were destroyed.

In March of 1928, the geranium with the spiral around it had attained the abnormal height of four and one half feet and was flourishing even in winter. Sure that by his work on plants he had stumbled upon a new therapy of unimaginable importance to medicine, Lakhovsky went on to develop a sophisticated therapeutic device for human beings which he callled “multi-wave oscillator”. It was successfully used in French, Swedish and Italian clinics to cure cancerous growths and lesions brought about [by] radium burns; goiters and a variety of diseases regarded as incurable.”

The above few paragraphs from The Secret Life of Plants were responsible for my own experimentation with copper coils.  It seemed logical that if certain frequencies could be emphasized or heightened, healing could take place.  Everything is energy, after all, and all healing methods, even pharmaceuticals, are really just bringing a new energy, a revised frequency, to weak or diseased bodies. 

A quick glance around my apartment would assure anyone that I have a green thumb, as thriving plants are in evidence everywhere.  One of my neighbors has made a habit of giving me her struggling plants, which I regularly turn into healthy specimens, quite a few of which now sport strategically placed copper coils.

My girlfriend Gina grew up with a lovely linden tree outside the front door of her family home.  She noticed that this particular linden (which was planted by her local municipality) leafed out in the spring later than other lindens on the block, and dropped its leaves earlier in the fall.  Not only that, but it had never, ever blossomed.

We installed a copper coil in the fall, just above the first branches that separate from the trunk of the sidewalk tree, as this coil had to be far enough overhead that most people would not notice it.  Following most of the steps outlined below, the coil was in the tree for a few years before coming apart during Hurricane Sandy.  After two years, the tree began to leaf out at the same time as its peers on the street, and for the first time ever in its life…. it bloomed!  I feel confident enough to recommend experimentation with copper coils just by this example alone, but certainly feel Lakhovsky’s work and musings give conceptual heft to these efforts.  I’ve used it since with other trees and plants, always with positive effects, but none so dramatic as the linden’s new lease on life.  Why copper, as opposed to other metals?  I simply don’t know - I just followed Lakhovsky.

Here’s how:
1.  Use 18 or 20 gauge uninsulated copper wire (easily found at your local hardware store), as this is stiff enough to hold itself on the tree.  Had we used this gauge on the above linden, it would probably still be there, but we had used a lighter wire.  It is also light enough to allow the trunk to grow in circumference without strangling it.
2.  Make a spiral around the tree trunk, high enough where it will not ever touch the earth, and yet lower than the lowest branch, if possible.  If both circumstances are not possible, not touching the earth is by far the most important.
3.  Form the spiral counterclockwise, holding the end of the wire at the center of the trunk, and proceeding around to the right, as though you were hugging the tree with your right arm.  As the coil circles the trunk, it should rise, so the wire after one turn around the trunk will be above the beginning terminus of the wire, not touching – you are making a spiral, not a circle.  Wind two whole times around the trunk, rising each time, with the final terminus of the wire further to the right and above the beginning of the wire, to ensure there are two complete loops.  Do not attach the ends of the wire to anything, or each other, as the spiral will have to flex for trunk expansion.
4.  Periodically while winding the wire around the tree, wrap the copper a few times around a stick or rod held in your hand, and then pulled free of the resulting spring-like shape.  This spring-like shape will further ensure plenty of growth space for the trunk.
5.  Cut the wire where described in step 3 above.
6.  You’re done!  This coil should remain on the tree for at least three seasons, and can stay permanently if you feel it will never come to strangle the tree.  It may need to be on the tree for one complete growing season before results are observed.

My own observations include the above effects on the linden, as well as new-found resistance to disease in other trees.  Others have claimed trees so treated to be more drought-tolerant.  Please let me know your own stories!

Silicon for Bone Health

Monday, June 15, 2015

I feel that nature recently gave me a massive download of understanding.  I’d like to relate the experience, as well as the information (with recipes!).

Last week, as I gazed upon a meal I was consuming, the thought that scallions must have a lot of silicon in them crossed my mind.  Scallions have a shiny, waxy finish, and are thin tubes that must resist winds that want to push them over, all attributes of plants with a lot of silicon – bamboo, whole grains, and asparagus, for example.  The skins of root vegetables can be silicon-rich, too, such as onions with their shiny sheaths.  That’s what led me to think there must be a generous amount of silicon in scallions, and sure enough, the internet did confirm that onions, therefore scallions, are high in silicon.  Anyway, the thought passed through my mind, and I shortly forgot about it.

A week or so later, at another meal, my girlfriend Gina mentioned that she liked the way the restaurant’s chef had prepared the escarole we were sharing, because she or he had taken the time to make sure the stems were soft.  Gina mentioned that she’d read that the soft parts of leaves have more nutrients than the hard parts.  I had an immediate intuitive hit that this was not true, it was that the nutrients were different, and the two parts of leafy plants had to be prepared in a manner reflecting those differing mineral profiles. The stems needed more processing, in this case cooking with heat, in order to make their nutrients bio-available.  I got that this was because stems would tend to have more silicon, and silicon requires extra processing. 

Silicon is a mineral central to the production of healthy, glossy hair, skin, nails and strong bones.  When we are born we have oodles of silicon, as our bodies will need to grow bones, skin and hair many times more massive than that of the body we arrive in.  This is one reason why children and young people have beautiful skin, hair and nails.  As we age, unless we take care to replace it, the store of silicon becomes depleted, wrinkles develop in our skin, and our hair and nails become thinner and more brittle.  The possibility of broken bones increases.

Bones, when made into mineral broth, take a long cooking time to get out all the nutrients, one of which is silicon.  That’s why stems, which actually look a little like bones, and perform a similar function, would require additional processing, or cooking.  By ‘stems’ I mean the edible parts of vegetables that have thick, fleshy uprights – think of the supporting structures of Swiss chard, broccoli, and collards.  I do not mean the inedible supporting parts of plants, say, tomato stems, or the woody stems of something like sage. 

Here’s a French tip on cooking greens and stems, hence the recipe part of this paper: Separate the stems from the dark, soft parts of the leaves, and then make a separate dish by stewing the stems in some water with sun-dried tomatoes, onions, and capers.  This little stew is really delicious.  I know that silicon is best absorbed when in the presence of salt, and the capers add that salt.  Interestingly, onions are in there too, making this stew very rich in silicon.  It’s great to have a second dish to make from a mess of greens.  The cooking time is a little longer than the soft, darker part of the leaves, so plan accordingly if you wish to serve them together.

So, Nature communicated by setting up a scenario in which I thought about silicon in scallions, and then followed through a week later with a bigger, more developed package of information:  greens; stems; cooking with more heat; bones; silicon.  The permutations just kept pouring out of me – I had to write them down.  Not a bad bonus for a couple of meals.  

Karma & Co.

Karma &  Co.

I recently developed an awful, nasty, itchy rash on my legs. My calves looked as thought I’d lost a knock-down, drag-out fight with a group of cacti. I asked my MAP team what was going on, and came to understand that I was detoxing fluoride from my system.

New York state adds fluoride to it’s drinking water, and most commercial toothpastes also contain fluoride.  Many people also rinse with mouthwashes that contain fluoride.  There’s enough information on the questionable value of fluoride ingestion online that I won’t bother going into it in this paper, but will instead discuss how I came to a place where it began leaving my system.

There are three reasons:  1. Sunwater (paper attached); 2.  Forgoing the use of commercial dental substances; 3.  Karma & Company (papers attached).  Of the three, my MAP team has indicated that the Karma & Company Processes are responsible for 60% of my body’s ability to slough off this toxic material, with the other two roughly responsible for less than 20% each.  There’s a few percentage points gleaned from an overall healthier diet, as well.

I’ve developed the Processes that I call Karma & Company over the past few years.  I felt that there were some areas where I struggled for years to make changes, with nothing to show, despite conings, telegraph tests, miasm processes, SLGs, and even the PIC focused on them.  I used every tool in the Perelandra books, and every book, lecture, meditation, affirmation, habit-breaking technique I came across outside of the Perelandra materials as well.  I just kept feeling, no matter what I tried, that there was some kind of block, some part of me that I couldn’t even access, no matter what.  If I tried very hard in meditation, I would encounter a vision that looked like an acid green sea urchin, spiny and unapproachable.  After years of this situation I asked Nature for more tools, and was inspired to co-create these Processes.  I suspected that the causes of these intractable situations were in the past, possibly even a past life, and that I had no idea what they were.  I mean that the original situations that were part of the underlying causes of these situations were forgotten.

Most of the Processes are small, focused healing techniques on areas of our spiritual bodies that have been scarred in the past, or in a past life.  Although our MAP teams would eventually be able to heal all these scenarios, we can be better team members if we initiate some of these healings ourselves. These discreet healing Processes are set up to allow us to clean our own house more, to allow new energies into places that are darkened, blocked, or inappropriate.  As most of these energies reside in the spiritual body, it’s easy to envision how even a small scar or block situated there can mute or warp light and energy coming into the system.  An even better way to envision the subtle but profound effects these wounds have is to see all energy as magnetic, attractive.  If our spiritual being is full of frequencies absorbed through outdated ideas, traumas, or past lives, similar energies will constantly enter into our current lives.  Hurtful actions, self-limiting thoughts and criticisms are still within us, whether we remember the situations that caused them or not.  I’m not implying that all the problems you have in your life are the result of hauling your past mistakes around.  Unlike Scrooge’s late business partner Jacob Marley, the chains that bind us are not always of our own forging – we do live in a challenging world.  It was too late for Marley to let go of what weighted him down. We, like Scrooge, can make changes and release ourselves from some of our outmoded past.

This time of great new energy influx can be used to great reward.  Let’s mop up some of yesterday’s dust to allow fresh air and light to flow through our entire beings.

I believe that after having performed dozens, possibly hundreds of these Karma & Company Processes for well over a year, my being shifted in such a way that the toxic energy of fluoride was incompatible with my system, and my body began to reject it.  Now, don’t get me wrong –I’m not implying that just the energy Processes were sufficient for this to happen.  Remember those other two factors – no use of commercial dental substances, and Sunwater?  Eliminating fluoride from my physical being for years was foundational to my transformation.  Sunwater creates healthier water, as the sun breaks down large molecules of toxins mixed into the water, which are then filtered out.  Avoiding commercial dental substances, with their loads of fluoride, helped the physical body initiate healing from these substances.  You certainly can’t detox from something you’re still ingesting.  And, of course, I’m talking about a PEMS system that has had the benefits of a wonderful MAP team since 2003.

I didn’t start my Sunwater, alternative dental care and Karma & Co's with the intent of ridding my body of fluoride.  I started all of these practices because I wanted to be as healthy as possible, in all PEMS levels.  After years of these practices combined I can see a very real benefit.  I also believe that the new energies are amping up all healing modalities now, bringing in more results than ever when applied over time.  Perhaps little or none of this would have even been possible years ago.

Healing is rarely fast.  True, deep healing takes time.  We exists in PEMS layers, and so does that from which we must heal.  This time that we are in, however, offers accelerated healing.  Let’s take advantage of it.

Although the nasty rash was far from pleasant, I was content to let it run its course to help my body heal.  If I can create spontaneous detoxification with these gentle, focused practices, I am most likely healing other unexpected or unnoticed systems within my total being as well.  And, I’m happy to report, of the stubborn situations in my life, one has already been healed, and healed the way Nature does.  Nature, I’ve noticed, always gives more than you know to ask for, in a broader range of healing, and with a lot more fun that you’d thought to ask for.

Karma

PROCESS ONE:  Karma

The Law of Karma is a complex and multi-layered structure delineating the place our past thoughts and actions have in determining the quality of our current lives.  Sometimes in a simplistic Western rendering, it comes to resemble a multi-lifetime version of the golden rule – you’re having a lousy day today because of a sin you committed in a past life.  In actuality, the law of karma extends through many nuanced layers of human behavior. There are more tenets to this law than this paper can explore, but there is a one facet of our own karma that we can actually heal quickly and easily, and that is what this paper will address.

Humanity has not always had this ability.   The exciting time we are living in today supports a far broader palette of healing tools than many thousands of years of history have offered, and this series of Processes could not exist without this enhanced palette.  While not all aspects of karma can be accessed by this simple Process, one can:  Seemingly permanent, cast-in-stone truths from past lifetimes are still within us, even if we’re not consciously aware of them.  Even if they do not apply today, or are even at odds with our current thinking on the subject, they may still be imbedded invisibly in our being, skewing our thoughts and actions.

If we have done some genuine harm to ourselves or other beings in this life or a past life, some serious time, perhaps entire lifetimes, must go toward balancing this debt.  Not all karmas are as easy to rid ourselves of as old thoughts are.  Old thoughts and beliefs are the only aspect of karma that can be addressed by this Process.  One of the elegant aspects of this Process is that we don’t even need to know the old thought or rule that we are releasing ourselves from.  If we wish to know we can certainly explore that information, but it is not necessary.

The first of the reasons we are able heal this particular facet of ourselves is because we are living in a very different world than in past lives.  Circumstances have changed.  Our new world supports very different energies and behaviors than the past. Humanity and our abilities have evolved. Yet, integrating new ideas does not automatically remove old ideas – our systems are capable of holding contradictory thoughts. One of the odd twists of the human brain is the ability to do just that:  We can simultaneously encompass two ideas that are mutually exclusive, and we won’t even realize we are doing so!

Truths I might have held dear as a Crusader of old, and was willing to die for, might feel undeveloped and naïve to me now, or just plain wrong. However, certain mental structures within me may still reverberate to their frequency.  Change does not imply that these past understandings were wrong at the time I thought them, but it absolutely does mean that some of these past beliefs are wrong for me right now. It’s not that they’re bad, just no longer appropriate.

These deep, older beliefs can limit or skew our current thoughts, feelings, and abilities.  Think of how a rose would look if the husk that protected the developing petals never allowed itself to swell, burst, and be shed by the blooming flower. 

Here’s the second conundrum of karma – many of the delicate ties that bind us to the past may be connected to things that we, as individuals, have resolved, maybe as many as 85 – 90%.  Just being born into a different race, gender, or religion can wipe the slate clean of certain debts.  This is why we can disconnect ourselves from some karmas - we have already changed ourselves inside and out.

Minutes after writing the above paragraph, I left my apartment for some errands and ran into my upstairs neighbor.  Some time ago she’d decided to take her a/c unit out of the window for the season.  In the process, it slipped from her fingers and plunged six stories down onto the sidewalk.  In a panic, she ran down six flights of stairs, certain she’d killed someone, only to find that not one person, pet or car had been harmed.  OK, a street tree lost a few small limbs, but otherwise it was a huge miracle.   However, the neighbor, understandably traumatized at the time, went around for weeks with a dark cloud over her head, saying “Oh my God, I could have killed somebody”.  She couldn’t let go of it. Then she ran into my roommate, a therapist.  “You have to stop saying that”, my roommate explained, “No one was hurt.  Instead say ‘I am so grateful no one was harmed by my actions’.”  As soon as the neighbor repeated that, the dark cloud cleared and only the normal, fading thoughts about the event remained. 

My neighbor was in the process of creating a kind of artificial karma for herself.  She was making herself sick over a potential disaster that never arrived, and if she had continued in this train of thought for long she could have brought upon herself real mental or emotional difficulties.  This is yet a third reason why we can disconnect ourselves from some karmic ties.  The ropes that bind us to events in our past can be as strong as steel, even though sometimes connected on the other end to something negligible as “I could have killed someone,” or “I ate something my religion did not approve of,” or “I slept with someone from a racial group my tribe despised”.  In short, these things that were serious crimes at the time are now too thin to sustain any significant karma in this lifetime.

When we consider our whole beings, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, we might wonder where these karmas are held.  Nature tells us that they abide in our spiritual bodies.  When we consider this, it is easy to see how even the smallest of them can warp or impinge our current abilities and sensitivities, coloring the light flowing from Source with muddied frequencies.

In times past, “breaking” karmic behavior was thought to always be a difficult task, one involving much work to sway thoughts and behaviors to reflect a new ideal.  We’re certainly not a getting free pass on this entire task, as we will always have work like this to do - it is part and parcel of being on this planet. Serious harm done by you to a person, place or thing will entail far more work than this simple Process.   But, in this brew of today’s new energies and understandings, we can now lovingly release some of the artifically constricting ideas within us with relative ease.

To get started:

11.        Open a MAP coning and connect yourself to the PIC.  Have your essences & solutions handy.

22.      Using kinesiology, find out if any essences, Essence of Perelandra, ETS+  (or the PIC) are needed for general balancing at this time.  Again using kinesiology, confirm how many, and which are needed, and take them at once. 

33.      Ask out loud, or to yourself, “Do I have any karmas that are ready for healing?  If so, how many?”  While asking this question, keep in mind the definition above (second paragraph) of specific karmas that can be healed in this manner.  If there is more than one, ask if there is to be a waiting period between healing one karma and the next.  If so, ascertain how long this is to be – 2 hours?  24? 48?

44.      After you’ve ascertained how many, if any, that can be presently healed, state out loud or to yourself, “I now release myself from karma #1 (or 2., or 3…), and ask it to leave my entire system.  I ask karma #1 to go to the next step on its evolutionary path”.  In this way we gently send karmas along.  It’s not the karma’s fault that it no longer matches our vibrations, and we wish all consciousness equal access to growth.

55.      Wait ten seconds.

66.      Ask which essences (or PIC solutions) are currently needed, and if they are single-dose or to be multi-dose solutions.  If any test as multi-dose solutions, you will have to make a solution and take it as often as needed in the coming hours or days to complete the number of dosages.

77.       If no essences test as needing more than one dose, ask if any additional essences are needed, and take them at once.  Repeat this step as many times as needed to arrive at a ‘no’ answer. Go on to the rest of the karmas, if any are available, repeating steps 2 – 7 as many times as needed.

88.       Close down the coning after you’ve established when (and if) to next take a multi-dose solution, or if none are needed.  Don’t forget to disconnect from the PIC.

Allow an hour or so for the first time doing this – you may have a number of karmas to address.  After that, typically there are only one or two at one time.  I use kinesiology to determine if I have any available for healing twice a month or so.

Karma is not a rigid path that we are forced to follow, but can be a sun-filled trail to discovering the lighter, more loving world we reach for.  We can follow this path with grace and ease.

Psychic Residue

PROCESS TWO:  Psychic Residue

Psychic residues are the second in the series of Processes that can free up stagnant or darkened energy within your entire system, allowing new light and concepts to flow into your consciousness.

In her wonderful book Huna, a Beginner’s Guide (Whitford Press, 1981), Enid Hoffman describes the Huna way of viewing our consciousness.  Huna is the indigenous spiritual practice of the Hawaiian people, and involves a three-part soul:  The High Self (Aumakua); Middle or conscious self (Uhane); and the Low Self (Unihipili), so-called as it is thought to dwell in the lower part of the abdomen.  These divisions may remind some of the superego, ego, and id found in Sigmund Freud’s work, but the Huna view of the spiritual structure is generally warmer and kinder.  One of the few points the two thought systems agree upon is that the id/unihipili/Lower Self is not verbal, so does not communicate with the other parts of the self with words. Instead of verbal communication we may find ourselves unaccountably thinking thoughts and feeling emotions that seem to come out of nowhere, that do not seem to be a result of our situation or circumstances.  This is because unihipili also remembers everything that has ever happened to you, and suffers traumas, insults and terrors you the rest of you may have forgotten.

Every time someone in your life cursed you or called you a name, unihipili believed that you truly were that vile thing.  Every time you call yourself a name or say something bad about yourself, internally or to others, unihipili feels this as a true judgment.  Unihipili remembers all of these slights, and takes them as a literal assessment by one’s own self and by others.  Thus the energy of many random curses, whether or not you can consciously recall them, is still impacting you.  I believe this is often the source of the “dark nights of the soul” when our relaxed nighttime self cannot guard against things our daytime selves do not actually believe to be true.  Someone wise soul called these the “dark nights of the personality”, and I feel this to be a more accurate notion.

It’s not simply the personal slights or assaults that pile up internally.  If you read between the lines of most newspaper/online/radio or TV news, you quickly come to the conclusion that humans are a fairly unsavory bunch.  This view of humanity is echoed in all facets of our culture.  Even such relatively benign domains as alternative healing modalities will talk about liver cleanses (subtly implying that we have somehow soiled the poor liver with our filthy habits), or detoxification (sweeping out those ugly poisons we insist on subjecting our cells to) and so on.  The herbalist Susun Weed, by contrast, is careful to speak only of efforts to nurture, nourish, or support our beautiful systems. This subtle difference has a profound effect on the way the two beliefs impact us, and the underlying disparagement of the former phrases is not lost on mute but observant unihipili.

The propensity of unihipili  to believe this barrage of negative images and words is one of the reasons why affirmations work.  We all have decades, possibly even past lives full of these slights, judgments or curses. 

 These constantly alarm the mute unihipili, without our awareness, but not without our control.  We can slowly retrain our Lower Selves to release these darkened beliefs and fears, and to absorb more positive energy simply by repeating positive statements about ourselves. The pile-up of past abuse may be in areas we do not even realize we need to heal, however, and this is where a Process can swiftly bring fresh support into areas in mute pain.  This Process will only heal whatever is ready to be healed.  You don’t even have to be aware of the specific incident or cause of the psychic residue to be healed.  Nature will know if it is ready to be released.

One of the many slights I feel we here in the West have suffered from is a slur on the content of Unihipili itself.  Doesn’t Western psychology proclaim the idea that our unconscious is a dark cavern where brute emotions, murderous thoughts and malevolent, suppressed urges dwell?  Like a smoky cave from which our inner dragon occasionally creeps, to commit barbarous acts?  I feel this to be a smear campaign aimed at making us all a little afraid of the realm, as the poet once said “Where my fields are not plowed”.  It’s more accurate and healing, I believe, to envision instead the mute sufferer, the member of our inner entourage that is the memory-keeper for all slights.  This is a valuable service, a true gift, as how else could we heal that which we have consciously forgotten?

Here’s how it works:

11.  Open a MAP coning and connect yourself to the PIC.

22.     Ask if ETS+, Essence of Perelandra, essences or PIC solutions are needed for general balancing.  Take what tests positive at once.

33.       Simply say aloud or to yourself “Do I have any psychic residues that are ready to be healed now?  If so, how many?” Use kinesiology to get the answers to these questions.

44.      If more than one Psychic Residue is present, ask if a waiting period is needed between healings.  If the answer is ‘yes’, ask how long.

55.      Say out loud or to yourself “I release myself from psychic residue #1 (or #2 or #3, as may be) at this time and ask it to leave my entire system.  I ask it to go to the next place on its evolutionary path”.  In this way we gently release energies.

66.      Wait ten seconds.

77.     Ask what essences are needed at this time, or PIC solutions, and if any essences are to be multi-dose solutions.

88.  Wait two minutes.

99.    Go on to the next psychic residue and repeat steps 3 – 8 as many times as needed.

110.   Close down the coning and disconnect from the PIC.

The first time you do this you should leave at least an hour or two available.  I had almost 30 psychic residues the first time I cleared them.

I usually ask myself if I have any psychic residue ready to be healed once every week or two.  We are so accustomed to being viewed as somehow deficient that we often don’t even register when this happens.  I can truthfully say that the “dark nights of my soul” are now very, very few and far between.  Even this painful experience, we’ve been taught, is a part of every life and to be expected!  Let’s instead bring our own warmth and love to all the loyal aspects of our entire being, and reap the rewards.

Miasm

PROCESS THREE:  The Miasm Process

Machaelle Small Wright explores miasms in her book The Perelandra Essences, a Revolution in Our Understanding and Approach to Illness and Health (Perelandra, Ltd., 2011).  The only other place I’ve seen miasms mentioned is in Voyagers, The Secrets of Amenti, Volume II, by Ashayana Deane (Wild Flower Press, 2^nd ed., 2002).  After some careful deliberation, I’ve decided the two authors are talking about slightly different things.  The treatment, however, is the same, as are the symptoms and severity, so this Process treats them as interchangeable.

Dear reader, a miasm can kill you.  It’s that simple.  You can also die of a symptom of a miasm, develop a chronic illness, or at the very least be inconvenienced by something like allergies.  That’s why it’s important to talk about them, and to heal them as often as possible.  The healing thereof, once one is familiar with the health protocols offered by Ms. Wright, is thankfully easy. 

Miasms, depending on the author, are either a) A discrete energy reality that co-exists within other life systems (Wright) or b) An inappropriate buildup energy due to DNA and chakras functioning at less than optimal levels (Deane).  

Wright indicates that a miasm is a foreign energy pocket that has taken up residence in our systems.  I believe that in times of extreme duress, our bodies and energetic protections are askew, and some nearby energy orb can penetrate our defenses.  Our bodies immediately sense the intrusion and protect themselves by creating an energy envelope isolating the foreign entity. Creating and maintaining the envelope itself, however, takes a certain amount of energy.  This scenario is called an inactive miasm, and once one has become activated (for a much better definition of active and inactive miasms, please refer to Wright’s book on essences, cited above, page 215) we are at its full effect, typically suffering some kind of impact to our health. An inactive miasm can become activated by an illness, pollution, stress, decades of poor quality food, etc., or even by positive changes originating at the soul level, that make our systems less comfortable for the miasm.  

In Deane’s view, miasms result because some of our DNA is chopped up into little junky bits.  Our chakras are meant to tie into healthy DNA, with supportive energy pathways in the body running between the chakras.  The interruption in this system severs these pathways into dead ends, where energy piles up randomly until it creates problems, much like an energetic traffic jam. In either of the authors’ views, there are inappropriate energies in certain locations within us that are unhelpful, and we need to release them to facilitate healing.  It’s not that a miasm is an evil entity, it’s simply energy that is either incompatible with our system, or has built up in a manner that disrupts healthy energy. 

As with all of these Processes, miasms reside in our spiritual bodies.  It’s easy to see how even a slight warping of the spiritual being can dim or scramble Source light coming into our selves.

I was blindsided by asthma in 2003, after a period in my life in which upheaval and painful chaos ruled for years.  I found that I had a severe allergy to dairy products, and the resulting inflammation was causing the asthma.  I stopped eating dairy right then and there, which ended the asthma, but still suffered quite a bit from seasonal allergies and hay fever. A couple of years ago, for instance, I would often take several allergy pills (even the 24-hour kind!) per day. After processing multiple miasms for years, I can now eat dairy without any adverse reaction. Although this year was supposed to be particularly severe for seasonal allergies  (but, really, don’t they say that every year?) I floated serenely through the spring season with barely a sneeze, while enjoying dairy at every turn.  I can only attribute this surprising shift to all the Processes that I have done on a regular basis, and this particular one involving miasms.

Clearing out miasms is a Process that can give rise to quick healing on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels.  The first time I did a miasm release I felt much better immediately afterward. 

In a careful reading of both authors, it seems that one of the things they agree on is the ability of miasms to recur intermittently.  You have to keep weeding them out.

Here’s the process (paraphrased from Wright):

11.    Open a MAP coning and connect yourself to the PIC.

22.      Ask if any essences, ETS+, Essence of Perelandra or PIC solutions are needed for general balancing.  Take any that test positive at once.

33.     Ask “Do I have any miasms available for healing at this time?  If so, how many?”

44.      In the case of more than one miasm, ask if there is to be a waiting period between miasms, and if so, how long - hours, days, weeks?.

55.      Make a list of the number of miasms, following each number with three lines labeled Symptoms, Underlying Imbalances, and Miasm.  When dealing with a miasm, you must first heal any symptoms, heal the underlying causes or imbalances that resulted in this situation, and only then clear the miasm itself.

66.     Ask “How many symptoms does this miasm have?  1.? 2.? Any?”  Ask which essences are needed for each symptom, anything from the PIC, and if these are to be a single-dosage, or a multi-dose solution needed.  Some symptoms make take several days to release from your system, and you will have to keep revisiting the solutions on successive hours or days.

77.      Ask the same questions for underlying circuits – how many, what essences or PIC solutions, single or multi-dose solutions.

88.     After all symptoms or underlying imbalance have been addressed, over as many days as needed, you are now ready to heal the miasm itself.

99.    Say, out loud or to yourself, “I release myself from miasm #1 (or 2 or 3, as may be), and ask it to leave my entire system.  I ask this miasm to now go to the next step on its evolutionary path”.  In this way we are not casting the miasm out into the cold - it’s not the miasm’s fault that it is in our systems, and we wish healing for all and sundry.

110.   Test for essences and PIC solutions, and whether any need to be a multi-dose solution.

111.   Repeat steps 2 – 10 as many times as needed.

112.   Close down the coning and disconnect from the PIC.

I ask whether or not I have any miasms available for healing on a regular basis, say, every week or two.  I also know that several may become available for healing after a profound physical, emotional, mental or spiritual event, or a healing of any another sort.  Massage, reiki, talk therapy, crying, all of these can clear the path for a miasm, activated or inactivated, to be sent on its way.

The present exciting moment in history offers swift, deep healing, available as never before, and we each can take splendid advantage of this.
