Reduced calcium levels and accumulation of abnormal insulin granules in stem cell models of HNF1A deficiency
Bryan J González et al. Commun Biol. 2022.
Abstract
Mutations in HNF1A cause Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (HNF1A-MODY). To understand mechanisms of β-cell dysfunction, we generated stem cell-derived pancreatic endocrine cells with hypomorphic mutations in HNF1A.
HNF1A-deficient β-cells display impaired basal and glucose stimulated-insulin secretion, reduced intracellular calcium levels in association with a reduction in CACNA1A expression, and accumulation of abnormal insulin granules in association with SYT13 down-regulation. Knockout of CACNA1A and SYT13 reproduce the relevant phenotypes. In HNF1A deficient β-cells, glibenclamide, a sulfonylurea drug used in the treatment of HNF1A-MODY patients, increases intracellular calcium, and restores insulin secretion. While insulin secretion defects are constitutive in β-cells null for HNF1A, β-cells heterozygous for hypomorphic HNF1A (R200Q) mutations lose the ability to secrete insulin gradually; this phenotype is prevented by correction of the mutation.
Our studies illuminate the molecular basis for the efficacy of treatment of HNF1A-MODY with sulfonylureas, and suggest promise for the use of cell therapies.

Effects of Daily Kelp ( Laminaria japonica) Intake on Body Composition, Serum Lipid Levels, and Thyroid Hormone Levels in Healthy Japanese Adults: A Randomized, Double-Blind Study
Seiichiro Aoe et al. Mar Drugs. 2021.
Abstract
To investigate whether supplementation with iodine-reduced kelp (Laminaria japonica) powder decreases body fat composition in overweight Japanese subjects, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled intervention study was conducted in 50 Japanese subjects with body mass index (BMI) ≥25 and <30 kg/m2.
Subjects were randomly assigned to consume thirty tablets/d (10 tablets orally, 3 times/d) containing either iodine-reduced kelp powder (test, 6 g kelp powder corresponding to 3 g alginate/d) or kelp-free powder (placebo) for 8 weeks.
Anthropometric measurements, blood lipids, and serum thyroid hormone levels were obtained before and after the trial.
Body fat percentage was significantly decreased in male subjects from the test group compared with the placebo group.
The same tendency was observed for body weight (p = 0.065) and BMI (p = 0.072) in male subjects. No significant changes in anthropometric measurements or visceral fat area were observed in female subjects.
Serum thyroid hormone concentrations did not increase after 1.03 mg/d of iodine supplementation through kelp intake. The intake of iodine-reduced kelp powder led to significant and safe reductions in body fat percentage in overweight male subjects.
The consumption of kelp high in alginate may contribute to preventing obesity without influencing thyroid function in Japanese subjects with a relatively high intake of iodine from seaweed.
Keywords: alginate; body fat percentage; iodine; kelp; thyroid hormone.

Nirmal Hriday
When travelling India, met a couple who were attending an Ashram, in Kerala, they relayed how they worked in Kalighat for 1 day as the young mans father had offered to pay for their entire years travels, if they did at least 1 day Volunteering at Nirmal Hriday.
This conversation, put the thought in my mind to volunteer there, the couple didn’t seem to have had a profound experience, yet I wondered that the father must have, to have funded such a thing. Then, when passing through Calcutta on the way to Thailand early December 1994, spoke to some volunteers in a cafe, they spoke of the Spirit of the place, the work. A month later in February 1995 I had the great honour to volunteer there myself.
Fate led me to meet the Mother, as my first day was a Sunday, and the volunteers went to Mother House for a 6am Mass, not wishing to hear an Australian Couple Preach about the Calendar Method of contraception, led to me leaving and meeting Mother in the Chapel doorway, wonderful moment which dissolved much of the nervousness about whether I could handle working in a place I’d heard such things about.

Abstract
This study involved a randomized, controlled, single-blind 12-month treatment study of a comprehensive nutritional and dietary intervention.
Participants were 67 children and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) ages 3-58 years from Arizona and 50 non-sibling neurotypical controls of similar age and gender.
Treatment began with a special vitamin/mineral supplement, and additional treatments were added sequentially, including essential fatty acids, Epsom salt baths, carnitine, digestive enzymes, and a healthy gluten-free, casein-free, soy-free (HGCSF) diet.
There was a significant improvement in nonverbal intellectual ability in the treatment group compared to the non-treatment group (+6.7 ± 11 IQ points vs. -0.6 ± 11 IQ points, p = 0.009) based on a blinded clinical assessment.
Based on semi-blinded assessment, the treatment group, compared to the non-treatment group, had significantly greater improvement in autism symptoms and developmental age. The treatment group had significantly greater increases in EPA, DHA, carnitine, and vitamins A, B2, B5, B6, B12, folic acid, and Coenzyme Q10.
The positive results of this study suggest that a comprehensive nutritional and dietary intervention is effective at improving nutritional status, non-verbal IQ, autism symptoms, and other symptoms in most individuals with ASD. Parents reported that the vitamin/mineral supplements, essential fatty acids, and HGCSF diet were the most beneficial.
Keywords: Epsom salts; autism; autism spectrum disorder; carnitine; digestive enzymes; essential fatty acids; minerals; vitamins.
Ode to Moreless
When a younger man, began a journey of researching various healing modalities and happened across Curezone. This was a website which housed various alternative health sub-forums.
After some time perusing the forums, it became clear many were self help groups, yet most lacked the substance of success, verified and repeatable by members.
So, it was with the greatest of elation, that Moreless pH Balancing Forum was found, here there were literally hundreds of ”Success Testimonials”.
This was the foundational basis of this website, as soo very much was learned, from the teachings of Carey Reams and Johanna Budwig, Moreless was a crop consultant based from Reams Biological Farming techniques.
Thank you Moreless.
Moreless :
Hi Ya’ll,
The many Success Testimonials that those have posted as may be seen following this link are because of their own willingness to make the needed changes to help their-self:
http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1028760#i
And “ANYONE” who chooses to come on this forum or post on any other forum that this Healing Protocol does not work and is Rubbish is basically telling “ALL” of those who have Found Success by applying these Healing Ideas by themself learning to take Personal Responsibility, that you are Crazy and do not know what you are talking about !
It seem to me, that just maybe these folks who choose to Bash these ideas may in fact be the Crazy folks?
For there is “NO” other forum on curezone with as many Success Testimonials, which is not trying to take “YOUR” Hard earned Cash from “YOU” !!!!!!!!!!
Could it be?
Cause and Effect !
“WE” are What “WE” Eat !
Smile Tis your choice.
Lyme Disease – Par Biomagnetic Therapy, Hulda Clark Zappers, Orgonite (Croft) Zappers
Natural Treatments For Lyme Disease
Are you among the thousands of people who are struggling with Lyme disease? If you are, you will understand just how painful and debilitating it can be.
According to the Center For Disease Control, there are around 30,000 new Lyme disease cases reported in the U.S each year. However, this is only a small proportion of the 300,000 or so people who are thought to be diagnosed each year. 1
In the UK, the disease is also not unheard of, with around 3,000 cases reported annually.
In Australia, The Lyme Disease Association of Australia estimates that around 300,000 Australians live with the disease.
Since the Australian government refuses to accept that Lyme disease can be contracted in the country, only two weeks of treatment are provided under the Medicare system. This means that many Lyme patients are forced to seek medical treatment overseas at specialist centers such as the Budwig Center here in Spain.
How Do You Get Lyme Disease?
Lyme disease is a tick-borne infectious disease caused by the spirochete bacterium Borrelia Burgdorferi, which is usually transmitted to humans through a tick bite. Mosquitoes, spiders, and mites may also transmit it.
Lyme disease is not contagious, and a person can only be infected if bitten by an infected tick. It is also important to note that ticks do not generally transmit the disease until they have been attached to the host for at least 36 hours.
The most common places that tick bites occur are in forests, woodland, or health areas where you find tick-carrying animals such as deer or mice.
Typically, an incubation period can last from between two days and three and a half months. The bacteria does not always cause disease immediately. It is thought that bacteria can lie dormant and, although present, will not cause any symptoms. However, bacteria still has the potential to cause disease at a later stage.
What Are the Signs and Symptoms?
Those with Lyme disease can exhibit similar symptoms to those with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in its latter stages.
Although there are thought to be around 100 different Lyme disease symptoms, these can vary widely from person to person. The most common are:-
- Flu-like symptoms
- Fever or chills
- Tiredness
- Headaches
- Severe fatigue
- Circular skin rash (Erythema Migrans)
- Aching joints and/or stiff neck
- Muscular pain
- Disrupted sleep patterns
- Memory issues or Brain Fog
In around 70% of cases, patients experience a rash on the skin in the shape of a “bulls-eye.” A large red ring on the outside, with a red circle in the middle. The rash is commonly referred to as Erythema Migrans or an EM Rash.
If left untreated, the infection can spread to the joints, the heart and may even disrupt the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, and cardiovascular system. In some extreme cases, Lyme disease can result in Pericarditis (Inflammation of external heart tissues) or death from heart blockage.
How Is Lyme Disease Diagnosed?
There are two main tests for diagnosing Lyme disease:
- ELISA Test – This is usually the first test carried out and is a type of blood test known as an Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The ELISA test is used to identify specific antibodies that our bodies produce to fight the Borrelia Burgdorferi bacteria. ELISA testing is not always accurate and, in some cases, can even produce false-positive results caused by other conditions.
- Western Blot Test – This form of testing is normally carried out once an ELISA test has been returned as positive. A blood sample is taken, and proteins are split to determine whether there are any antibodies present, used by the body to fight the Borrelia Burgdorferi bacteria.
If both of these tests return as positive, this is usually a clear sign that Lyme disease is the cause. Unfortunately, Lyme testing is not 100% accurate, with many doctors rule out the disease altogether, sometimes without any testing.
At the Budwig Center, we use the Vega test, which is a much better option and has a 93% success rate in identifying Lyme disease.
Judging by what we have heard from our own patients and reports on the internet, a vast number of physicians have somewhat limited knowledge when it comes to diagnosing Lyme disease. We often hear patients being told that the symptoms are related to other conditions such as ME/CFS or Fibromyalgia.
This is probably why the disease is also known as the “great imitator,”â as the symptoms are similar to so many other chronic conditions.
Can you prevent Lyme disease?
There are some tips which can help you to decrease the possibility of catching a tick bite. It is recommended to wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts when you are in forests, woodland, or health areas where you find tick-carrying animals such as deer or mice and use insect repellent. It is also vital that you remain vigilant and check yourself, your children, and your pets for ticks. Some assume that you can’t get infected if you’ve had Lyme disease before; however, this is not the case. If you do notice a tick, remove it with tweezers. It is important to check closely whether all tick parts have been removed.
Effective Natural Treatment of Chronic Lyme Disease
Those treated with antibiotics in the early stages of a Lyme infection usually recover completely and in a relatively short space of time.
Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for around 20% of patients who will continue to experience persistent and recurring symptoms. These patients are classed as having PTLDS or Post Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome.
Post-Lyme disease syndrome symptoms are similar to the symptoms that occur during the early stages. These symptoms include difficulty sleeping, fatigue, joint and muscle aches, short-term memory issues or difficulty concentrating, pain, and swelling in the larger joints, such as elbows, knees, shoulders, or speech issues. It’s fair to say that Lyme disease is one of the most challenging conditions to recover from fully, especially when at a more advanced stage.
Here at the Budwig Center clinic, our experienced therapists have successfully treated many Lyme disease patients over the last 10 years using BioMagnetism or BIO-MAGNETIC THERAPY.
This therapy consists in a trained therapist strategically placing magnets with the correct potency (1000 gauss strength) on the body of a patient to change the pH of the organs treated. When the pH of said organ is neutral, this makes it inhabitable for cancer cells as well as other microorganisms.
Bacteria and parasites live and grow in an alkaline environment while fungus and viruses live and grow in an acidic environment but neither can live in an environment with a neutral pH (7,4). This pH is obtained by placing a set of magnets with opposing polarities, one positive and the other negative, on the pairs of organs affected by the pathogen.
This therapy is compatible with the Budwig protocol as it is helping a person’s body attain a balanced pH and a stronger immune system without using electricity, chemicals or other invasive methods.
The Biomagnetic Pair Therapy was developed in 1988 by Dr. Isaac Goiz Duran, MD. He is not heard of in the English speaking world because he has spent most of his career and made inroads mainly amongst the Spanish speaking cultures. He treated over 350 000 patients using this therapy and trained more than 20 000 medical doctors and other therapists from many different countries.
Because the root of cancer as well as other chronic illnesses is rooted in an unbalanced pH and the presence of microorganisms, we include this therapy in the program for cancer patients and others needing to recuperate their health.
You simply lie down on a massage type table, fully clothes and the therapists tests where to place the magnets using a kinesiology muscle testing method. Our therapist has been mainly practicing this method of treatment since becoming a therapist so he is very experienced and you will likely find his comments very insightful.

Chooselife : My dear late friends Don and Carol Croft were the inventors and pioneers of Orgonite, one of their profound inventions was the Orgonite Zapper (Hulda Clark based technology, with Orgonite block added):
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=terminator+zapper+lyme+disease&ia=web
(no idea if the above Zapper site is better/worse than an Orgonite based Zapper, as it has been too many years since I mixed in these circles, this website has no affiliation with these or any other sellers, Don and Carols website was www.worldwithoutparasites.com )
Throw off your mental chains, choose life!
Bright Orgone, Demons, Be Gone…
After months, of mostly daily activity in the shed, a bat took refuge, which had caused mild paranoia when I couldn’t fathom how many components, for Orgonite yet to be constructed, were scattered across its inside, when nobody but myself had been in there.
Then, whilst contemplating, on Qi, noticed my paranoia was really lack of perception, as a Bat had somehow chosen to Nest, becoming trapped when I locked the Door, probably?
Dear friend Laozu, had assisted me (guided, or blessed with great teaching, truly) in removing a negative entity, from just below the very spot, that the Bat had taken nest/rest, perhaps seeking out its former energy marker, or guide, perhaps more???
The Children loved seeing it, after aware of company and talk around it, it dropped an ear, to listen out whilst sleeping;
The entity, had been caste out miles away, to a spot which was Gifted with Gold Orgonite, that it may change towards positive, in time. That evening, the Shed was left open, the Bat left.
Tonight, two weeks or so later, the bat flew really close in again, reminding me of this experience to post of.
The skies, each week that I make a batch, become radiant, for certain periods, with Sylphs (Sky spirits, Skywalkers? Pleasant sky spirits, who seem to clean the skies around them, whilst present). This was a commonly talked of phenomenon on the early Orgonite Forums, for very good reason.
When making a set, some, or most are finished setting, after sunlight, on my Torsion Croft Style CB, the Skies really do love this.
This summer and Autumn has been truly remarkable. Reminding me, how profound the work of Don and Carol Croft, was, and still is, such inspirational humans.
Key to this summers work, has been Grandad Georges, Wooden, Spirit Level.
No. 13 – 17 Shaftesbury, World Heart Chakra?
When starting thinking about gifting again, due to a historical affinity with Gold Orgonite, it seemed entirely appropriate to Gift 108, in a kind of homage to Don & Carol Croft.
Feelings were used as much as possible, however fate intervened, as whilst thinking of places and researching energetics, then Shaftesbury sprang out, making me feel neglectful of our lovely local town!

Shaftesbury – Co-location with Glastonbury of World Heart Chakra
After seeing this, research brought out a sense of shame, that after gifting thousands of places, Shaftesbury, large tower below aside, had been overlooked and never much thought of as a place to focus Gifting.
This map, seems an extension of the writings of Katharine Maltwood, an Arts and Craft Sculptress, who travelled the worlds significant pilgrimage, sights, studied various historical perspectives to collate her views and supposition.
So, now it makes clearer, why soo many were drawn to the Hovis advert by Ridley Scott:
We had gifted our way in, Hartgrove and Melbury Hill. So, whilst my daughters were Dancing ”Steps in Time” two weekends ago, gifted a small piece to the Abbey Gardens.
When gifting, keenly following my heart and inner voice, nowhere in the Gardens stood out to me (that could be gifted), had always loved being there, so when Laozu told that he felt three pleasant spirits there, it was no surprise. There is a spot which drew me, but nowhere convenient to leave a gift, so another day.
So, feeling fine with one small gift, as we walked from the Abbey to The Show Ground, decided to place a large gold piece, near Shaftesburys biggest eye sore, and, biggest electromagnetic disruptive influence:
This felt superb. So, we enjoyed the Shaftesbury Fair and watched the skies the following days…
The reaction in the skies, is amplified by making lots of Gold Orgonite, setting it on the Cloudbuster, some days it is a Bucket of Gold:
So, what dear late friend pioneer Don Croft used to love hearing, were positive confirmations, the Skies and nature is openly happy. The following weekend (July 9th), Arya and Amber joined me to Gift the historical area of Shaftesbury.
We walked from the Abbey, to Castle Hill, along Love lane…
The girls were a little tentative as the Yew Tree was along a path edged with Stinging Nettles, but once there, they loved it and the Tree felt like it enjoyed being played upon!
The girls climbed, carefully, had some fun near, so the Spirit of the tree could feel joy from innocent play. Then near by we buried the piece of Gold Orgonite.
On the way back, along Love lane, we gifted another piece of Gold, amongst the huge Pine Trees, making a crude triangulation of this very old, historically important place.
Chakra Four: Glastonbury and Shaftesbury (excerpted from EarthChakra.org)
Glastonbury, Somerset and Shaftesbury, Dorset define the centre of the Earth’s Heart Chakra. In order for the force of greater life to be directed to maximum effect, the Grail of Immortality must be permeated by the Wand of the True Will. Glastonbury is the home of the Holy Grail; and Shaftesbury is the high place of the Sacred Spear of Purpose. When the earth energies of Glastonbury unite with those of Shaftesbury, then the Rainbow Serpent ley artery is able to deliver the immortalizing frequencies of the Holy Grail to all beings worldwide.
The great circle of the Rainbow Serpent travels from Uluru to Bali to Mt. Kailas to Sergiev Posad (Zagorsk), then crosses Denmark before entering England near Great Yarmouth. As this broad ley river crosses England it sweeps through many famous sacred sites, all of which contribute to the world heart chakra. Avebury Stone Circle and the Tor at Glastonbury are perhaps the two most famous of these heart “acupuncture” points. If you imagine this ley artery as having width, then Shaftesbury is near its southern back, while Glastonbury is on the northern bank.
It was said during Medieval times that if the Abbot of Glastonbury married the Abbess of Shaftesbury, then their children would be wealthier than the King of England. This is an alchemical riddle. If you unite the archetypes of the two areas, then love is united with will in a way that is revolutionary. For those who study the Cabala, this alchemical formula unites Binah (Grail) with Chokmah (Wand). The Grail, directed by the Will of the Earth spirit, has the power to dissolve all boundaries between nations. If the heart of the Earth expands to its full circle, then – throughout the world – pain, suffering, and physical death among all species will fade from experience and memory.
The most famous legend of Glastonbury tells the story of Joseph of Arimathea and the Holy Grail. After the Resurrection of Jesus, Joseph shifted the archetype of Everlasting Life – the Grail – from Jerusalem to Glastonbury. This ritual act established the foundation for the eventual shift of the mobile world sixth chakra from the activation circle for the Aeon of Pisces, 2000 years ago, to the present Aquarian Aeon area in western Europe. Currently, the mobile sixth chakra is conjunct the Earth’s Heart Chakra.
To move world solar plexus energies to Chakra Four, the principal direction is from Uluru-Katatjuta to Bali to Mt. Kailas (Chakra Seven), to Sergiev Posad, Russia to Shaftesbury-Glastonbury. As this Rainbow Serpent force travels around the world it absorbs and releases information at the various sites. Shaftesbury, in particular, acts to decode information brought by the Rainbow Snake from Mt. Kailas, in Tibet.
It is also possible to shift the force from Chakra Three to Four by utilizing the opposite direction on the Rainbow Snake – from Uluru to Lake Titicaca, over the Azores, into Cornwall, and up to Glastonbury-Shaftesbury. Also, a simultaneous dual impulse in both directions would complete a great world circle involving the Following Earth Chakras: Two, Three, Four, Six, and Seven.
Chakra Six: The Aeon Activation Centre, mobile
This earth chakra, like the others, has a geometrical centre and an ideal, expanded circumference. The difference is that this “third eye” moves 1/12th of the way around the world, to the west, at the dawn of each new Aeon. The great Aeons are determined by a slow revolution of the Earth’s axis. The names given to these Aeons are taken from the 12 signs of the zodiac. Currently, we are said to be leaving the Aeon of Pisces, and entering the Aeon of Aquarius. Sometime after 4000 AD, this shift occurs again, when the Earth enters the Capricornian Aeon …
When the time arrives, the Earth spirit sends out a signal which invites all interested forces to gather in a certain geographical area for the purpose of inaugurating a new age. As these forces coalesce, the world sixth chakra establishes itself, begins to operate, and expands. This chakra remains in place for 150 to 200 years – long enough for the new Aeon archetypes to be instituted – and then it dissolves. Over two millennia ensue, and then the call goes out again to gather 1/12th to the west.
The purpose of this activity is to distill the gathered wisdom of life on Earth from over the centuries, and then to use these fruits of wisdom to open new directions of Earth evolution. In each great Aeon, different themes are emphasised. Compassion, for example, was a key Word of the previous Piscean Aeon; physical immortality is the word of the new, emerging Aquarian Age.
At the present time (1904 to 2084) the sixth chakra is geographically conjunct with the world heart chakra in western Europe. In terms of time, this Aquarian frequency was at its most potent in April and May of 2008 AD. Worldwide cultural forces which accelerated at that time reach their full maturity in 2065 AD.
In many regions of the world, there are legends of the Immortals. Often, when these stories imagine a collective body of immortals, an invisible city is named. Examples of this are Pulaki (Bali), Shambhalla (Mongolia), Avalon (England), and The Church of the First Born (biblical). These legends interpret a revolutionary truth – immortality has existed for a long time on Earth. Often, the immortals follow very individualistic, solitary pathways, hidden from the outer world. Then, when the Earth spirit summons all forces for the birth of a new Aeon, many of these social misfits make new contributions to the new area and its new themes. This coalition is temporary, and, after the Aeon is activated, all parties resume their individual pathways for another 2000+ years.
Here is a list of the geometrical centres for the most recent Aeons, and for two future Aeons: Gemini – Tai Shan, China; Taurus – Mt. Belukha, Siberia; Aries – Kun-E-Malek-Siah, Iran; Pisces – Mt. of Olives, Great Pyramid, Middle East; Aquarius – Glastonbury-Shaftesbury, England; Capricorn – near Recife, Brazil; Sagittarius – near Manaus, Brazil. (Brazil plays an important role in the next two Aeons, circa 4000 and 6000 AD.)
No. 9-12 The Oldest Spirits in Europe?
When gifting with absolute gusto in 2005-2008, we gifted Fortingall Yew…
When searching for a fitting picture, happened across an article which stated it appears, after around 5,000 years to be changing Sex, to female!
The Fortingall Yew Decided To Change Sex After 5,000 Years
The first gift, of Gold to a yew tree, that is known to me, was my dear Gifting Cohort John, who has Gifted his two most Cherished Yews (The master, with a Gold piece, which I think was given John at materials cost, so does not count in the 108, the second recently was Owain Glendower Yew, gifted from myself onto the Yew by John.
When last visiting The Court, Carol Croft, Cesco were visiting also in 2010, there was another visitor, Greg Hallett(?), who was writing a book on this very subject (John being more rightful than the Windsors, as bloodline of Glendower, quite the history! He’s my UK gifting buddy, made me about 6,000 TBs and HHg’s which were joyously driven into the earth back in 2005-8, we made about 30 Cloudbusters from memory).
Anyway, John gifting his Yew, triggered the 108 idea, so much thanks for this.
Fortingall had a stone circle which was gifted, and, this curious history:
Pontius Pilate lived from around 20BC until some time after AD36. He was the Prefect of the Roman province of Judaea from AD26 to AD36, and is best remembered as the judge at the trial of Jesus Christ in AD33, and the man who subsequently ordered his crucifixion.
There has long been a story that Pontius Pilate was actually born at Fortingall in Perthshire, also known as home to an ancient yew tree that could be as much as 5,000 years old (and, if so, is probably the oldest living thing on Earth).
The story of Pilate’s Scottish origins was set out most fully in an article published in the New York Times on 15 January 1899.
Source = Undiscovered Scotland
So, the first three Yews were some of the oldest living organisms this Earth has. With great historical significance. Todays trip, was no less important, the 12 Yews of St Paul’s Church Tisbury.
Previously had been drawn to this Church, went in to quiet sit, pray, found that a beautiful light castes in from an Amber stained glass window, never realised it was surrounded by 12 Yews, the Master being some 4,000 years old! No wonder they drew me there…
One of the large, more Gold and Gem encrusted pieces, was buried near the Master. Then two more smaller pieces were gifted to the other largest, each given a prayer, the biggest two circumabulated 3x, the Master 3x by myself and girls.
Behind the Church there was a meeting of two streams, Arya chose the spot and we gifted a white Gold piece to the waters there.
Once we had gifted 4 of the 5 pieces, decided to keep one (pictured above), as it felt enough, and, will visit again and quiet sit in a couple of weeks, see how it feels then.
On our return, we went to Fonthill Lake, the feeling was to Gift the final piece there, if we could get a good spot and my heart approved it. By then the Girls were getting tired, especially Amber, so we walked along the edge, seeking a nice opening.
As we walked, we met a lovely lady called Kathleen, she was walking her Dog, and, as Amber was trudging behind, we chatted for a while. After a few minutes of chat, it was obvious that the last piece was for her.
This is why my heart held that piece back, it happened that Ambers tiredness mixed with the distance to the lakeside clearing was too far for today, but we will return there with some gifts and hopefully a swim with the girls!
Hopefully Kathleen gets to read this, if so, your gift is;
24carat Gold Ball
4x Ruby and 4x Emeralds sat on 22Carat Gold brushed Copper beads
White Gold splattering
Copper hand cut ball, 8 Hand beaten Ethiopian Copper Beads, 8 Rose Quartz
Bed of 22Carat Gold inner, white Gold outer, Swat Valley Aquamarine at base
Another just beautiful Gifting trip.
