At the start of the 9 May event, we consciously connected to a total of 189 participants - individual people and animals in different parts of the world, with about half in Southern Africa (South Africa, Namibia, and Botswana), and the remainder in Brazil, Argentina, Wales, England, Scotland, Germany, the USA, Canada, Denmark, Australia and New Zealand. There were also a few humans and animals whose current location is unknown or they have passed to the ‘other side’, from where they requested healing on more subtle levels than the physical.

Sunday 10 May

Yesterday was a day full of grief and letting go. In my meditation AND afterwards, countless moments of stuck energies passed my mind and waves of sadness passed through my body. I was sitting with it, and letting IT have me. Waves of heat were "cooled down" with waves of tears... over and over again. Just to understand that some issues can be solved with our own attention and work - but many are not in my/our hands. I handed them over to the Creator. I took them out of my heart and placed them in the healing energies of Source. I know now that there is more... my heart is open and ready to shed ...

…I prepared myself mentally for this event. Got home early and surrendered…. What came to light was just how exhausted I was, so I lit my candle, gathered my favorite photos and pendulum, showered and rolled into bed...This was just as the event was beginning.

I prayed for the healing of my body on every level and to reawaken my power and intuition. I slept for 9 hoursand felt amazingly cleansed.My knee pain disappeared and my body had healed on a major level. I am feeling stronger within myself about taking the next step in my life.

A very big thank you to Edna and your team for the miraculous work that you so selflessly do. Thank you to all the participants for your wonderful energy that filters into our world. God Bless

…Thanks for the great treatment. I felt rather woozy even before the time of the treatment and had a really early night. Was out for the count. Felt very relaxed on Sunday and not up to doing much, so I took it easy.I have noticed an increase in appetite though!! The rest of the family was fine and also very chilled on Sunday.

We did get the clarity we were looking for and have called off the house search for now….Now to just manifest the home farm - that is the next step for us!! Thank you once again and we send you all our love and blessings.

... The only sensation I was aware of was having a sense of unease which started about an hour before your start. I spent the second half of the treatment walking in nature so that helped take care of that. Interesting to read the suggested follow ups, especially about revisiting old memories as yesterday I spent a lot of time doing just that, doing some EFT work on myself....

Cardiff, Wales

I spent the day preparing for a short Mother's Day talk on Sunday after meditation. I went to Temenos for lunch with a very spiritual lady with whom I have a lovely connection. On my return home around 3pm, I lay down and went "out like a light" for an hour - usually an indication of inner activity. I was quite still and focused during the day, especially in the evening when I was very aware of feeling uplifted, also "spaced out" and yet at peace. It was as if each part of the day was very spiritually meaningful and relevant and I felt blessed by every activity.

Saturday I thought at around 6pm (in South Africa, this was 2 hours before the starting time) Hmm, it's going to be a non-reactive one for me, and after spending some time in meditation on the intentions of your work, I got involved in other things. Around 10 pm I got the drowsy feeling and had to go off to bed (this was when the treatment process was at its most intense, 2 hours into the process), not thinking of the Healing. Sunday morning I downloaded and got your late e-mail correction re the timing of the start (that was the note about the typo for the link to the World Clock) and yup, the need to sleep and receive healing was again my body’s response to your efforts....

What an interesting experience! I went to my favorite forest and did one of my sacred dance practices at the start of the event and then lay in a field of buttercups for most of the time, until an incredible thunderstorm sent me inside where I went to bed and entered a twilight sleep during the beautiful rain. When I awoke, about an hour after the session ended I was in quite a bit of emotional turmoil which lasted through the night until noon or so on Sunday. Tears, old memories, confusion. It was intense. It was very interesting to read in your feedback about memories because it was certainly so for me. And then suddenly it all dissolved and I was more centered and peaceful and grounded in my body and my heart. The rest of Sunday was a joy. I most definitely needed to sleep well into this morning,but today has been a joy as well. I just returned from another walk in the clear shimmering light of sunset after another rain.I am so grateful to be a part of these healings and for the magic of this beautiful earth!! Thank you Edna and everyone.

...Having not always been consciously present at treatments before, I was quite keen to be present for this one. There was a last minute hitch, but I managed to make it by 5 minutes before the starting time, read the invocation, and sat down to meditate.

Shortly after, I was called by my child, who couldn't sleep, and I read him a story he chose, about a bear with his eyes in the newspaper, who kept getting into trouble by not seeing where he was going. I took it as another reminder to be present where I am, at all times. Very apt for me I thought!

Back to meditation, it was fairly uneventful, except for images of water. At the time I would have best described it as the ocean, but after reading the description of the flooding, that seems more apt. The water was deep blue, which was why I thought of ocean, but there was a unusual shape of wave that was perhaps a river/lake in flood.

A little later I got an intense urge to do some work, which meant plowing through some emails and getting to some unpleasant ones. It was perfect, imbued with a spirit of love, with none of the stress and ego associated with it recently.

I'd this week stocked up on some of the amazing water from the Newlands spring, and drank a lot throughout and after the treatment.

I slept peacefully and for a long time the next morning, with my child miraculously letting me sleep until 10:30 (!), and experienced mild detox symptoms later that day.

...Got ready for the healing and got into bed by 8pm and lay meditating and then fell asleep. Woke up very calm very early on Sunday, feeling energised and better than I have for a while. As one my key intentions was about work I was very pleased to be able to focus my attention and get a whole lot of work done before the world woke up on Sunday but in a relaxed frame of mind. Went to the local Sanctuary for the Service on Sunday evening and feel inspired to do more healing work on a regular basis. Have been feeling thirsty, and wanting to be in water.The tiredness does come back and my sleeping is a bit squiff, with going to bed very early and waking up very early. G (participant's dog, who is always part of these healing events)is perkier and enjoying his new home and the new field to walk in.

Thanks very much for the ongoing experience of being part of Earth Heal!

Durban, South Africa

Warm greetings and my grateful thanks for the opportunity to be part of this wonderful event. For days preceding I experienced insomnia,aches and pain, headaches and for an even longer period vivid flashbacks to my past. On the day we also saw the inauguration of Jacob Zuma as president of South Africa. I felt very anxious around his inauguration.

I tuned into the healing having put myself to bed just before 8pm. After about 2 hrs fell asleep and for the first time in many nights had a deep restful night's sleep. Woke up feeling refreshed,if a bit slow, and needed to take Sunday easy.Since then I've had more energy than usual.I'm also doing a home-based colonic using psyllium and bentonite - and drinking LOTS of water.

Thank you one and all for making this so special. Blessings and appreciation.

I want to give you feedback before I read anything so I can keep it clear and focused. From Thursday right through the week-end I was hit with a wave of complete exhaustion. I was so tired I could hardly stand up. On Sunday I felt sensitive (not unhappy or anything, just a heightened sensitivity). Letting it all sink in now. And Christopher (participant's cat, who suffers from an old injury to his lower spine and was included in the event) is looking much happier - thank you. I also was thrilled to see that we inaugurated our new president on such an auspicious day. And there is a lot of movement and change brought about by his leadership and his new cabinet is very interesting and vibrant. So (although I don't support his ethics), here he is, and it's not too bad and it can actually be quite exciting. What a wonderful time to live in South Africa...

Cape Town, South Africa

...I went to bed at 8 so that I could tune in to your healing, but after my 20 minutes of meditation, fell fast asleep. Normally I toss and turn, because my legs are uncomfortable, but this time it was a deep sleep.

I was surprised to find momentary anger and resentment when I did my meditations the next day, especially seeing that we had stunning weather here in Cape Town, and I had walk on Long Beach, with the sea all smooth and the sand very white, and on Sunday we walked in the forest and all seemed peaceful. But when I read your feedback I realized that this must have been unprocessed issues. Fortunately they did not spill over into other parts of the day...

Cape Town, South Africa

Thank you (and all who participated) for the healing that has taken place. Had a very relaxing Saturday afternoon in a group channeling session with Lady Kuan Yin. Felt very refreshed and energised thereafter. Slept restfully through the night, however got up on Sunday feeling very irritable and uneasy. Felt this way till Tuesday. Also had some detox symptoms, much better today....

...Thank you for a much needed session. When I read that Taurus moon was about repatterning materialism and part of that was also about sexuality, I had to laugh out loud as that together with judgment are the triad of emotional processing that I am experiencing at the moment.

The weekend saw me with many intense emotions and definitive surfacing of memoriesand insights coordinated with my own lunar cycle for a solid connection time.

Food cravings were rather intense too, yet I was detoxing at the same time and craving foods that were clean, green and colorful.A definite need for processing time in nature. A lot has lifted off me and I am most grateful.

Thank you...blessings

Stilbaai, South Africa

...I had been sleepy all week before the event,with aching neck and fluish symptoms. Went to bed early on Wesak, after doing the Great Invocation and connecting to Buddha and Jesus.   Sleep claimed me, so deeply asleep and so far away.

Strange side effect, I have been menopausal for quite some time, but my menses returned with a vengeance, and have continued all week!!!!

Sunday was strange, timeless, and I think I have been influenced by retrograde Mercury, loosing track of what day it wasand sleeping so deeply and soundly, and still needing to sleep more often.

L.., one of my cats, has been following me round, like a puppy at my heel!   Staring up at me with huge saucer eyes, purring so loudly.   My daughter D. seems to have shifted and seems on the mend from her addictions...

A very strange thing happened.   I bought a dioptase crystal and thought that I would give it a rest in the sunlight during the Earth Heal event...well, Sunday morning it had gone, like it had been beamed away, which made me very sad and it still hasn't returned! Also I was wearing a tigers eye bracelet when I went to bed, and that also disappeared with out a trace, hmmm.   I know that crystals move about and go where they are needed but I had hoped that I would get to know the Dioptase a little better before we parted. I felt like a disappointed child, a little tearful!!!

Sunday was glorious, I walked down my hill to the park and got lost on the way, sidetracked by all of nature in her glory, all the different flowers and plants and magnificent trees! ...I spent the rest of the afternoon at a birthday picnic. Felt very vague and relaxed.
P.S.   My hands have been very warm and healing, many people remarked upon how warm my hands are.

Lovely feedback, Edna, thanks. I experienced most of the same symptoms as the participants the day after the healing event. In particular, tirednessand lots of memories from the past. All in all, a wonderful earth healing experience....

...I was thirsty, very sleepy, woke up with muscle pain as if I had worked a lot physically, (which I did not of course), maybe on other planes:-). Again, the urge to do some cleaning and ordering of the flat.Felt not like wanting to work much,slight depressive state...

Got back to the time when the wall came down...(I was on the East side of the wall, and there was a big demonstration ...where I took part. I realized the fear we all had, that the police or army would come and beat us all up and put us to prison - plans were there to do that (they did not). And I met there a former colleague by chance, who I had not seen since three years.

Did things that has been on my agenda since long:
- looking at Madame Toussauts "wax Puppets" ...went inside a theater shop, where they sell costumes, they no longer need...(was a 25 years old wish)...- sorting out S.'s baby clothes (its time now)... getting a haircut, which I was always delaying.

S. (participant's child) needed to pee from Sunday to Monday during the whole night, several times.I was not sure, if she got a cold bladder (she was not with me on Sunday), or if it is some cleaning. I did not find an infection the next morning testing her urine...So she spent two days just being home and playing (not going to school) and relaxing very quietly, may be this was what she needed....
