Since my session with you I have felt a lot better and feel a new door has opened to help me with my journey here on Earth. Thank you so much for the support and guidance you shared with me in our session and the Aura-Soma and tissue salts have had a pretty dramatic and positive change in how I handle life and the exploration of my sensitivity and empathic nature. Using the Equilibrium has been amazing as I apply it to the areas of my body I have always dealt with emotionally and physically and now feel complete unconditional love for these parts of me and am discovering a whole new acceptance and appreciation for my body through this simple ritual everyday.

The Lady Nada has made the bombardment of peoples energy easier to handle and in some circumstances changed the energy completely and I am so grateful for that. So this is just simply to say thank you. Your warmth and understanding made me feel like I was in the presence of ‘family’ – possibly angelic similarities and I will carry that with me on my travels.

Thank you and kind regards

I can only speak for the AllisOne tissue salts, and our Silicea supports bio-compatibility. The only time that the ability to remove foreign bodies would be of concern is:

• if there is a transplanted organ and you are taking anti-rejection medication i.e. the body’s natural response is to reject the transplant, or
• if an implant is unhealthy or the surrounding tissue is necrotic, and the body is naturally trying to solve the problem.

If your fillings fall out (or implants fail) it is because they are compromised, or there is a disease process happening beneath them in the tooth/tissue.

Q: I wonder if you could suggest any Tissue Salts for dogs to take, they are constantly scratching and licking themselves – I’m sure they have fleas.
Many thanks DB

A: Nat Mur is very helpful for the itching, and also seems to deter insects to a degree; helpful for humans who are prone to insect bites too. If they develop allergies or eczema, you may need to consider Kali Mur and Kali Sulph.

Obviously it is quite important to treat the environment they are in as well; you can crush a mothball or two with your shoe  and vacuum it up into your cleaner and then use your machine thoroughly particularly in areas where the dogs like to lie. Dyson actually do a vacuum cleaner for people with pets that is designed to kill the fleas / eggs with its suction action. Breaking the life-cycle of the fleas is one of the most difficult things to do. You can also use diatomaceous earth as a non-toxic flea killer – can be sprinkled into the dogs’ fur and bedding etc. Another helpful non-toxic deterrent can be to mix tea tree  and lemongrass (citronella) essential oils into a spray bottle with water, and to spray the environment and onto the pet (although cats may not enjoy this one!)

Our formulation is a pure D6 or one part per million Biochemic trituration. The ‘Triple Strength’ refers to our larger sized tissue salt tablet, allowing you to use one tablet instead of three. This remains gentle enough for infants or children to use – for infants simply crush a tablet and rub a little onto the gums as required.

We have seen many bouncing babies arrive to happy mums who used our tissue salts throughout their pregnancy, and to help with things like baby colic, regurgitations, and their own exhaustion and recuperation after delivery.

‘Polyol’ or ‘sugar-alcohol’ is a chemical structure term (carbohydrates with the suffix ‘ol’) and must not be confused with either sugar carbohydrates (substances with the suffix ‘ose’) or alcohol in the alcoholic beverage sense of the word – that form of alcohol is called ethanol.

Some polyols in their crude state can cause digestive upsets such as flatulence or diahorrea  in very sensitive or food-intolerant subjects, usually when they are used frequently or in large amounts. Although sweet tasting, they are sugar-free; and this is a confusing dynamic to understand.

We use a proprietary blend of polyols,  specific to tableting applications, and have found that our products are tolerated very well.  Due to the manufacturing processes involved in creating tissue salts, the resulting product can be compared to dissolving a substance in water, where the nature of the original water changes as a result (brine, tea or coffee for example). The base acts as an energised carrier of the mineral; hence biochemic products’ compositions are generally classified as the energised substances diluted therein. Unlike the carbohydrates in sugar, the body does not absorb polyols; they behave more like digestive fibre and pass through the digestive tract with virtually no metabolic change, releasing just the mineral energies that they hold when the tissue salts are chewed or dissolved in the mouth.

The polyols in our tissue salts have a prebiotic effect and have been effective for many sensitive and food-intolerant clients. If you are sensitive and can eat stone fruits such as plums or prunes, or vegetables such as beetroot, you should have no problem using our tissue salts, particularly if you stick to the basic recommended dose when starting out. When there is a lack of intestinal flora due to past use of antibiotics, candida, too much sugar in the diet upsetting the natural balance and so on, we advise sensitive people who experience flatulence to use a probiotic as well for the first few weeks.

My daughter suffered eczema allergies since birth, and developed some extreme food intolerances along the way, yet has been fine using the polyol-based tissue salts. At one stage about 3 years ago, she was tested and advised to eliminate wheat and gluten, dairy products and even some vegetables such as green peppers. It left precious little that she could have, but she was able to use the tissue salts throughout this period – in fact she increased her use of tissue salts during this time, without using the modified method detailed below. She has now overcome these intolerances and her diet has restored to being regular almost all of the time. I think that part of that process has been the fact that she has been using the tissue salts whilst being careful with her diet and listening to her body.

How to use the tissue salts in cases of extreme sensitivities

It is really difficult to find a perfect diluent to fit everyone’s needs and I hope the day arises when such a product emerges that will be suitable for trituration and holding the mineral energies of the tissue salts. At this stage, the polyols are the most optimal to fit the processing and stability requirements of our product. Where people have extreme sensitivities, we are able to resolve it in one of two ways:

• by dissolving the tablets in a little boiling water (perhaps crushing them with a spoon in the hot water) and then adding enough cold water to cool it down. The solution can then be held in the mouth, moved around for a minute or so, and then expectorated. The mouth may be rinsed with clear water afterwards too.
• Another option is to crush the tablets, and apply them with a moistened toothbrush onto the teeth (as in using brushing powders) then rinsing the mouth afterwards. This way the minerals can be absorbed by the buccal mucosa without the absorption of the diluent.

Concerns regarding pets

One of the polyol groups, xylitol, although safe for humans, is toxic to dogs. The other polyols have shown no such toxicity to animals. Our tissue salts contain no xylitol, and are well tolerated by pets. My puppy has since the age of 9 weeks (6,5kg) enjoyed them so much that when he sees or hears me using the salts he rushes up to wait for his. It’s been a month so far, and there are no signs of digestive distress, flatulence or diarrhoea – despite having about 6 different tissue salts tablets in the morning and the evening (approximately 12 tablets a day). He chews them diligently one by one and seems to want more. I’m delighted at this response because I know if an acute situation arises, there will be no problem getting him to use them!

Within the Synergy Range are the basics of systemic care of the body, and they are ideal to use as tonics to maintain wellness:

Arthro Synergy to condition the joints; also facilitates athletic performance and recovery
Beauty Synergy for skin, hair and nail care for all ages; harmonises stressed skin; formulated for optimal ageing
Immuno Synergy to assist the respiratory and immune systems; the environmental allergies and hayfever blend
Osteo Synergy for bones and teeth; for pregnant women, growing children and teething babies as well as older, weaker bones or fractures
Pure Synergy to harmonise the liver, pancreas, urinary and digestive system; for breakouts, pimples, acne; and helpful for menopausal changes (Rescue too)
Rescue Synergy to nourish the nervous system and the heart; de-stressing, centering and revitalising energy – for all ages.

As with all tissue salts, the Synergy are safe to use at any stage of life, and in conjunction with any prescribed medication or complementary treatment. The Synergy Range form the basis of care, and it may be necessary to top-up with some of the individual salts contained within them if you are more deficient in a certain salt or two than others.

I recently returned to Cape Town from Tokyo, where I was presenting a Colour and Tissue Salts workshop to a group of Aura-Soma practitioners. It was an enormous privilege to be there at this beautiful cherry-blossom time, just a month after the devastating earthquake and tsunami in March. Some folks questioned my sanity before I left South Africa, with aftershocks and radiation dangers omnipresent in Japan. For me, there was never any question about following through with arrangements unless the invitation was postponed, but I did reflect on this quite deeply before I left.

There was a synchronicity that I felt unable to ignore. In order to obtain my visa, I needed proof of my return air ticket. On March 10 I paid and collected it from my agent and headed off to the local Consulate of Japan with all my forms completed. Less than 24 hours later the earthquake and tsunami hit. I must say it left me wondering what would evolve, but I felt very deeply that I was in this situation for a reason.

The second part of this synchronicity unfolded when I asked Sachiko, the course co-ordinator and my gracious hostess, whether she felt it appropriate to go ahead with the arrangements at this time; if it would not be too much for her or the students to deal with so soon. I would be arriving within 3 weeks of the devastating event.

Her reply to me was unwavering: ‘We are going to do your course, and the students want to do it. Now we have still earthquakes in Japan, and we have a big problem about the radioactivity. The students would like to learn Tissue Salts much more because of such time.’

There was my answer; with such a magnet pulling me, I would not resist. From that moment on I relied on an old friend: the trust that I would be safe and protected wherever I am. Whenever I heard someone else’s fears echoing toward me, I called on this sense of trust that is something I have developed as a consequence of living in South Africa with all its inherent ‘dangers’.

I began the workshop as I usually do – checking the energy fields of all the participants. I was humbled to see that 99% of the participants had the ‘Humpty Dumpty’ shock-trauma stress pattern, where we ‘jump out of our skins’ and the energy field shifts to a position on the left-hand-side of the body. Although one expects shock patterning after the events Japan has endured, I have not seen this so consistently in a collective situation before. Some of my students had not slept through the night since the first earthquake. It makes me wonder about the shock-trauma of all the other people in Japan as well, when I was just observing a group of 26.  We managed to work on correcting this pattern immediately, with tissue salts and the Aura-Soma pomanders. At the end of the four days, their energy fields were all balanced again.

Later on that evening, I thought the washing machine I was running was going a bit ballistic in a spin cycle. I could feel the room shaking. At the time I was looking at an astrological chart for my friend Retha in South Africa, and communicating with her via direct messages on Twitter. I realised the shaking wasn’t coming from behind me, but rather from beneath me; and then the building started to sway. And creak. And it carried on for long enough for me to move with my laptop onto the floor alongside the bed (to create a protected triangle position according to the e-mail my osteopath had sent me before I left home) to ride it out, continuing our conversation as it progressed. My sense of fearlessness was certainly getting a serious test!

I listened for sounds of evacuation, or an alarm, and there was nothing. So I stayed alone on the floor in my room on the 18th floor while the building did its groaning slow dance for the next 20 minutes. In the meantime Retha had found the earthquake report on the internet, and I managed to switch on CNN who were also reporting it live. Originally classed a 7.4 magnitude, this aftershock was later downgraded to a 7.1 – the biggest since the original event. It was quite good to have Retha on the other end of cyberspace; if it all went down like a house of cards, someone would know about it! It was a scary and wondrous experience, but I did not feel fear.

After that there were at least another 6 aftershocks, one of them quite intense late on the afternoon of Monday the 11th. This time I was lower down on the third floor offices of my host with my translator, Sachie, and a client, at the end of a consultation. The Aura-Soma bottles threatened to bounce off the shelves as the building did the jitterbug. The other staff were keeping things in place in the offices alongside, and again, no one panicked or evacuated the building. Later that evening, dining with Aura-Soma friends 40 floors up, other fearless souls from the UK and Australia, we gently swayed to the motion and continued our meal. Each time I silently thanked my angels and the ingenuity of Japanese engineering. I was safe and secure, wherever I was.

It feels a bit like having sea-legs after one of these experiences – it’s like being on a boat, but instead of moving relative to the horizon, everything shifts and sways. Walking feels a little strange afterwards. I think the unusual movement does something to disorient the energy field pole of grounding beneath the feet, which Aura-Soma teaching calls the Earth Star, and this has to find its position again afterwards.

These events have the potential to create fear and insecurity. Certainly where one is in the epicentre and directly affected by acts of God there will be little choice but to feel this.  For many people though, there is no direct devastation, just the repetitive cycle of facing the fear. It can create a spiral of trauma in the psyche as one feels helpless and at the mercy of the gods.

Part of the journey of conquering fear is to consciously feel the gratitude of being spared from harm, whilst acknowledging the mighty power of nature; and looking for the lessons to be learned. Here are two insights that I feel are most important to consider; and to apply them wherever we are in the world:

• Do we really do our bit to honour Mother Earth? How can we expect her to find balance if we continue with our devastation of nature?
• Perhaps the Frankenstein of Fukishima offers the world a chance to look at our choices regarding nuclear energy, when there are natural energies to be harnessed if only science would prioritise and invest in optimising these sources of power.

In South Africa, I think it is time to stand up and say a very strong NO to the proposals regarding fracking in the Karoo; and to oppose the plans for more nuclear plants on the West Coast where there is also an earthquake fault line, even if not as active as those in the Pacific rim. Yet.

Please take some action, that the recent events in Japan may help to serve us everywhere in bringing balance to our planet.

It is this kind of thing that happens, little frustrations – my onward connection in Hong Kong will also be missed – and I need to get a message to Tokyo about when I should eventually arrive. I might be able to do it if the battery on the iPhone doesn’t die before then.

Astrologers are aware of this phenomenon that impacts travel arrangements, communications, information systems and technology. This Mercury retrograde period started on April 1st (Hahahaha! April fool I hear him echoing through the cosmos) and ends on Good Friday. The trickster will play the fool with us during this time.

I was aware of this period when I booked my ticket, but arrangement times were set and I could not but fly during this time. On April 1st, Telkom had to visit my house because the phone line went on the blink. I had a longer than usual day at the office trying to upgrade accounting software. It seemed to take forever – and the helpline people weren’t being good at answering the helpline!

This is not a period to take risks with your technology. Don’t take shortcuts in frustration, and remember to make good backups of your important information. Check that your memory sticks or other devices are actually working… it is a time where the last laugh can be on you!

Since my return journey is during this period too, I am hoping that this humble acknowledgment to the Trickster will spare me the pain of delays on the way home… I’ll keep you posted.

I started looking at charts and writing this up on the weekend that President Muburak stepped down. I got caught up in a lot of other work in-between, and subsequently we have seen troubles rising in Libya as the region seen in the astro-map ignites with the fury of repressed anger. With regard to Libya, the timing has fallen later than for Egypt and astrologically it bears out since it lies to the west, or ‘later in the day’ than Egypt. I haven’t had a chance to look at the individual charts for Libya as well, which will be similar but with dynamics falling in different houses, and not necessarily the same outcome.

I find it incredibly interesting that this map marked out the territory in advance of the upheavals and would like to offer a little glimpse into the astrological dance of the solstices and eclipses around the end of last year and the first quarter of 2011 for Egypt. Some of this will read like a different language if you are not an astrologer. I have tried to keep it as user-friendly as I can, but have to use the language of astrology to point to the dynamics. I have included pdf files of the charts with the astrological tables for the astrologer to download.

Political astrology always starts with the ingress of the sun into the cardinal points of the zodiac, equinoxes and solstices. Last December there was a lunar eclipse around the time of the solstice; it occurred within the 24 hours prior to the ingress of the sun into Capricorn. This lunar eclipse is the partner to the solar eclipse of January 4th. The lunar eclipse occurred in Cairo at 10:13am on December 21st, and would not have been visible there at that time.
