Castoreum “North America” (Castm)
[Sigrid Häse]
Es geht darum einen Zugang zu finden zu den eigenen Emotionen. Der Biber fällt mit seinen starken Zähnen ganze Bäume und baut damit Dämme, mit denen er Wasser (= Emotionen) staut. Die, die das Mittel brauchen,
tun das auch und versuchen, die emotionalen Probleme im Kopf zu lösen, um von den unterdrückten Gefühlen abzulenken. Daraus resultieren meistens heftiger Kopfschmerz, Zahnschmerz, Ohrgeräusche (Tinnitus),
Leberstauung Blähbauch, gestaute Menses, bitteres Aufstoßen. Der Biber hilft diese schon lang gärenden und bitteren Emotionen endlich wahrzunehmen, auszusprechen und evtl. auch als Tränen fließen zu lassen.
The old
proving of Castoreum: is called Castoreum. canadensis,
but the material is taken from an European beaver. The repertories differ
absolutely.
19.04.2012 bieten Caesar & Loretz GmbH Castoreum canadense plv. An.
In der “Rheinische Monatsschrift für praktische Aerzte” Band 4 Seite 107 wird unterschieden in Deutsche Castoreum, Russische Castoreum und Canadische Castoreum mit unterschiedliche Analysewerten.
Mercks Warenlexicon 1884
(Castoreum); Artikel des Droguenhandels, besteht aus den getrockneten Beuteln, welche zu je zwei, sowohl beim männlichen, als auch beim weiblichen Biber sich in der Nähe der Geschlechtsteile unter der Haut finden
und im frischen Zustande eine weiche und schmierige Masse enthalten, die ausgetrocknet hart, braun ist und zerrieben werden kann und einen durchdringenden, starken Geruch besitzt. Die Beutel sind aus 4 übereinander
liegenden Häuten gebildet. Wird nur medizinisch verwendet, jetzt aber viel weniger als früher.
Man unterscheidet zwei Sorten, das B. der alten Welt, vom europäischen Biber (Castor Biber) und das der neuen Welt vom nordamerikanischen Biber (Castor americanus); beide zeigen sehr bedeutenden Preisunterschied,
während das letztere, gewöhnlich kanadisches B. (Castoreum canadense) genannt, je nach Qualität bei uns 40–90 Mark pro Kilo kostet, ist der Preis des europäischen 1100 M. pro Kilo. Letzteres führt allgemein den Namen sibirisches oder russisches B. (Castoreum sibiricum oder moscoviticum), da Deutschland jetzt so gut wie nichts mehr liefert, sondern hauptsächlich Rußland und Sibirien.
Beide Sorten unterscheiden sich durch folgende Merkmale: Während die Beutel des sibirischen B. oval und wenig zusammengedrückt erscheinen, auch nicht runzelig und zusammengeschrumpft sind, besteht das
kanadische B. aus mehr birnförmigen, flachgedrückten Beuteln mit runzeliger Haut; bei dem sibirischen lassen sich die beiden äußeren Häute bequem ablösen und in der Mitte des Inhalts ist eine Höhlung, welche bei dem kanadischen fehlt, bei dem sich auch die Häute nicht ablösen lassen.
Der Inhalt der sibirischen Beutel ist braun, niemals glänzend oder harzig, sondern fast erdig, während derjenige der kanadischen Beutel rotbraun und auf dem Bruche harzartig glänzend ist; auch ist der Geruch des letzteren bedeutend schwächer. Die Menge des kanadischen B., welche durch die Hudsonbay-Gesellschaft alljährlich auf den Londoner Markt gebracht wird, beträgt immer noch 500 bis 2500 k; dasselbe wird in jährlich zwei Auktionen (August und Dezember) verkauft. – Zollfrei.

Hill/Coordinator Murray Feldman]
Due to a
variety of reasons, which we feel were all part of the proving, not everyone
took the remedy on the same date.
Before the
proving even started, odd things began to happen. All three classmates began to
experience very strange dynamics. Immediately, we experienced the need to work
very efficiently at the proving.
On January
18, 2011, we gathered to meet with Murray and as many of the provers and supervisors as we could get together at one time.
The idea of this meeting was for the group to share and
compare
their energy and experiences. During this meeting, the attendees were also
asked if they had any idea of what the remedy might be. It was quite
interesting to hear the responses. At the
end of the
meeting Murray disclosed the source of the remedy that was taken. We were not
surprised to know that what we proved was the Canadian Beaver. This is one of
the animals that
symbolizes
Canada. The energy that came through was strong and expressive.
Although, Castoreum Canadense is already in
Materia Medica, we were not
able to find any references that indicate Castoreum Canadense has been proved. It is likely that the
information
included in
Materia Medica is based on
a proving done on the European species and not the Canadian species.
Food:
plants such water lilies and clover and trees such as aspen, poplar, and willow
Kinds of
buildings: dam; free standing lodge in a pond; less commonly a lodge attached
to the side of a pond; and tunnels and dens built in the side of rivers and
streams
Population:
Colony up to 10 family members
Life span:
about 10-12 years
Senses and
Communication
Smell is
the most highly developed sense; it has been proven 100x more sensitive than
the human sense of smell. Beavers are noisy eaters and even though their sense
of hearing is keen, they
rely more
often on their smell. They need to pause often while eating to listen for
danger. The beaver’s sense of taste is well developed, as can be seen in its
preference for certain foods and
avoidance
of others. The beaver uses his whiskers, eyebrows, tail, and soles of its feet,
all well endowed to sensory nerve endings, to touch. The beaver has four rows
of whiskers, or vibrissae,
that are
7.6-10 cm long. These whiskers are sensory devices that tell the beaver if its
body will fit through an opening. If a beaver can enter a tunnel without having
his whiskers touch the side, the
beaver’s
body will fit through the opening.
Adult
beavers communicate through sounds, but the most commonly used form of
communication is the slap of the tail on water. The tail slap of an adult
beaver is extremely loud and, if unexpected,
can be both
startling and unnerving. The tail slap always signals potential danger, and
beavers can vary the velocity of the slap. Beavers are much more likely to slap
their tails in response to scent
rather than
in response to sight or sound. The louder and more powerful the tail slap the
more immediate the response. Beavers on land will move into the water, beavers
in shallow water will
move out to
deep water, while those in deep water will swim back and forth to try to catch
the scent of the potential predator. Beavers are peaceful animals; however,
they are territorial.
To
communicate to outsiders they build scent mounds around their pond. The scent
mounts are made of mud and a chemical paste called castoreum
that the beavers secrete from glands situated
near their
genitalia. The scent mounds act as no trespassing signs to beavers that aren’t
from that area.
Castoreum
The beaver
is furnished with a certain odoriferous secretion from glands situated near
their genitalia. In beavers, a cloaca furnishes the
outlet for urinary and alvine excretions and acts in
the
male as a
sheath to its sexual organ and in the female as a vestibule to the vagina. The
reservoirs or sacs in which the gland secretion is stored are brought into
commerce under the name of castoreum.
In the
fresh state, the sacs are found massed together, with the individual sacs being
of an elongated pyriform shape, about two inches
long, soft and somewhat flesh-colored. Upon drying,
they become
brownish,
flattened, and wrinkled. The contents of the fresh sacs are liquid, yellow in color, and odorous, and afterward dry to a reddish brown,
more or less, hard mass. Castor has a fetid, peculiar,
strong odor, and its taste is nauseating, acrid, and bitter.
Beavers are
mostly nocturnal animals.
The beaver
body is designed for life in the water; its eyes, nose, and ears are located
near the top of its flat skull, allowing the beaver to lie deep in the water,
hidden from predators, while still
watching,
smelling, and listening for danger.
Beavers can
swim submerged for 0.8 km or more; while they are swimming their heartbeat
slows down, reducing the flow of blood to their extremities, conserving oxygen
for the brain. The
beaver’s
large lungs allow it to hold more air. Its oversized liver has greater capacity
to store oxygenated blood. The beaver is also capable of exchanging at least 75
percent of its lung capacity
when it surfaces.
Humans can only exchange 15 – 20%.
Eating and
Digestion
The
beaver’s favorite foods are twigs and bark from aspen
and willow and alder saplings; in the spring and summer they will also eat
skunk cabbage, water lilies, grasses, and berries. Beavers have
to eat a
lot of this fibrous food to get the nutrition they need. In the fall a beaver
will eat as much as 1.4 kg of food a day in an effort to build fat reserves on
its body. In the cold winter, beavers rarely
leave their
ice-covered pond and cozy lodge to find food. Instead
they eat the tree branches they cut down during summer and fall. The branches
are piled in the water and held in place by mud. This
supply of
food is called “cache.” During the winter, beavers can easily swim under the
frozen pond to reach their cache.
The beaver
has a large stomach for food storage and processing. It has an even larger caecum where the fibrous material is further digested. The
beaver gains its nutrition from the tree’s outer and inner
barks; it
cannot break down the lignin in the wood itself. Like most rodents, beavers are
coprophogus. They eat so much bulk material that some
of it passes from their bodies as green faeces
before
being fully digested. Beavers eat the green faeces and, when passed through the
body a second time, essential nutrients are absorbed and the feces emerge brown. The beaver has four
incisor
teeth, two at the bottom and two at the top that grow throughout the beavers’
life. The iron in the beavers’ diet causes the teeth to turn orange.
Dams and
Habitat
A beaver
family or colony usually needs a pond where they can build their home. Many
times, beavers create their own ponds by using water from rivers and streams.
They block the water flow
with
branches, logs, and mud. The blocked water behind the dam spreads out over the
nearby land and forms a pond. Now the busy animals can start their next
project, building the family home or
lodge. A
beaver family can build a dam in about a week. To stay safe from predators,
beavers often build their home in the middle of the pond. They pile up
materials until they are higher than the
surface of
the water. Inside the lodge, a beaver colony lives in one big room, or chamber,
that sits above the water. Tiny holes in the lodge’s roof let fresh air into
the chamber. The colony sleeps in
this room
during the day. The resting beavers huddle together in warm, dry nests made
from grass and tree bark. They also raise their young in this room.
Beavers are
one of most persistent creatures. Farmers, road crew, and others who have had
to repeatedly remove river dams that flooded crops, timber, highway, and
railroad culverts will agree.
Reproduction
Each beaver
colony is made up of one male and one female adult and their young. In the spring,
the adult female gives birth to between one and four tiny kits. Over the years
a colony can grow to have
as many as
ten beavers. Beavers mate for life. The newborn have fur, teeth, and can see
and walk. The babies remain inside for about a month. The yearlings act as
babysitters for the new litter.
During
their second year, young beavers help their parents repair the dam and lodge
and gather food for winter. Young beavers stay with their parents until they
are two years old. The entire family
works together
to routinely fix the dam and the lodge.
Mythology
By the 16th
century the world's second largest rodent, the European beaver, had been hunted
to extinction in Scotland. The shortage of Scottish folktales featuring the
beaver is surprising
considering
how recently it was still with them, although it does feature in the folklore
from a number of other cultures. In Gaelic it is known as dobhran
losleathan, meaning “broad-tailed otter.”
Historically,
it was prized for its meat, its thick waterproof fur (which was used to make
hats), and also for the oil known as castoreum that
is secreted by glands beneath its tail. There were many
medicinal
properties attributed to castoreum (the name comes
from the Greek word “Kastor,” meaning beaver, as does
the animal's scientific name, Castor fiber), and
while there is no medical
evidence to
support the claim that it is an aphrodisiac or a cure for epilepsy, castoreum may indeed have been an effective remedy for some
ailments. One of the beaver's preferred foods is the inner
bark of
willow, which contains salicylic acid, the chemical compound from which aspirin
was developed. This chemical is concentrated in castoreum,
so it could well have had pain-relieving
properties.
Castoreum was still used in some parts of the world
into the 20th century, as a base for expensive perfumes.
Historically,
there was a lot of misinformation about the beaver's lifestyle and habits,
including a widely held and bizarre notion about the male's response to being
hunted. This myth was presented
in one of
Aesop's Fables, the 6th-century Greek collection of moral tales. The story of
The Hunted Beaver tells of how when hunted by dogs, the beaver chewed off its
own testicles and ran away,
giving the
hunter the prize he was after and thus saving its own life. There were clearly
some wild imaginations at play (i.e. beavers don't actually do this!), as well
as some confusion as to what the
hunter was
after, as castoreum is actually produced in the anal
glands. Nevertheless, the moral of this slightly disconcerting tale was that
voluntary sacrifice may help avert even greater loss.
It was also
believed that beavers ate fish, which is again a fallacy, as they are
completely vegetarian. The beaver itself was hunted for its meat, and the paws
and tail were eaten by certain
monks on
Fridays, in the belief that it qualified as fish rather than meat!
The
presence of beavers in Britain is still echoed in a number of place-names, such
as Beverley in Yorkshire, literally meaning beaver's stream.
Canada's
national animal, the Canadian beaver, is a different species from the European
beaver that inhabited Scotland's forests. It is far more industrious in its
damming activities, giving rise to the
popular
term “eager beaver.” However, like its European cousin, its important
beneficial influence on the health of watercourses was recognised by the Native
Americans, who sometimes referred to
beavers as
the “Earth's kidneys.”
Fossils
show that during the last Ice Age, a giant species of beaver the size of a bear
dwelled in North America! It was probably hunted to extinction by humans, and
it has been suggested that an
Algonquin
myth about Wishpoosh, the giant beaver, may be an
echo of that ancient time. In the tale, ferocious Wishpoosh
doesn't allow anyone else to fish in his pool, killing them if they try. The
trickster,
Coyote, decides to take him on, and an epic battle ensues. These historical
references are a far cry from the gentle rodent we know and love!
They are
also shown to have pride in their home; real beavers do indeed have good
house-keeping abilities, although it is unlikely they make tea quite as well as
Mrs. Beaver.
In many
parts of Europe the beaver is now sought not for its fur or oil, but by
tourists and nature lovers who are seeking a glimpse of this fascinating
rodent. There are places in Britain where you
can now
watch beavers in their natural habitat, albeit within large enclosures. With
growing support for beaver re-introduction, we may even be able to watch them
in the wild before too long.
Remedy
Preparation
Remedy is
made from Castoreum. This substance is stored in the
genital glands of both the male and female beaver Castor Fiber
(Russian Beaver) and Castor Canadensis. (N. American Beaver)
It is
yellowish and somewhat cheesy when fresh; reddish brown, hard and brittle when
dry, with a resinous fracture. It has a strong fetid odour and a bitter, acrid,
nauseous taste. Russian castor is
larger,
fuller and heavier than the North American variety; the contents have a
stronger and more agreeable odour. Depending on what type of tree the beaver
feeds on, the quality of the effects of
the castoreum will vary. This can indicate that the remedy
being prepared from beavers from different countries will have different
themes.
A tincture
is prepared by macerating two ounces of the bruised castor for seven days in a
quart of diluted alcohol. The dose of this is from a half to two fluid drachms.
The remedy
was acquired from Helios.
Pre-Proving
Before
actually starting the process, we, the main supervisors and some of the provers, started sensing a very intense and heavy energy
and series of incidents which we recorded as followed:
P 10:
I feel
horrible, there is a dead animal in our house, we do not know where it is. The
smell is horrible. I feel like I have killed someone. It is a nightmare. We
cannot do anything at home. Fell
hopeless,
mad, and angry.
I have this
vision of having this hammer and smashing it throws something.
I am very
restless, very impatient.
The
landlord said since Sunday they felt the smell. Dead body. Neighbour said, I
thought the guy next door had died. And I haven’t seen him too. It is very
weird, bizarre. Such things don’t happen
very often.
The whole
thing is bizarre, we left so quickly for Mexico, we knew we should go, it is
very hard financially for us and my husband’s work, but we just knew, it was
very clear.
We had
great time in Mexico but the plane had 14 hours delay. People got mad at the
airport and called the cops, it was a riot going on. The second plane hit a
bird, so we had to get another plain.
The whole
thing was bizarre. In Mexico it was great, then we came back to this horrible unlivable place.
It was
intense, the whole thing. Acute, powerful. Things happening so quick.
Everything so clear and strong.
Like now I
am just mad no bull shitting, I am mad and very restless and impatient.
I am very
excited about this remedy proving and this is clear.
G1:
Previous to
receiving the remedy I felt a lot of hostility, wanted to quit everything
because I felt the proving was going down the drain, I perceived a friend as
hostile towards me she did not trust
giving the
remedy to me, I felt she was keeping the remedies as hostage, and compromising
the proving. I felt I needed to react, I knew I would create a lot of turmoil,
but I was willing to accept
the
consequences.
G3:
Resentments.
Feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. At the same time very efficient. Not anxious
but more of time passing fast and things are to be done.
I had a
very hectic week and wanted to go to party that we were invited (Oct 16th), I
was so happy about it, usually I do not care as such. Things were going well,
but around 24 h. the hostess,
fainted and
got unconscious, I was scared as I was checking her pulse and it was getting weaker
and weaker under my hand, I felt I had to do CPR any moment. It was a crazy
night; she was taken to
ICU that
night. It was a matter of life and death.
There are
issues around communication between supervisors, one is going fast and wanting
to start soon. Things went very smooth but suddenly stopped. I feel attacked by
one other team member.
Feel
frustrated and angry. I no longer want her friendship.
An email,
from one supervisor. She hasn’t been still able to meet a prover
yet. She emailed me that she is very frustrated and too angry to write to the prover because she had cancelled their
appointment
late last night. The supervisor had gone to the place where they were suppose
to meet and waited 1 hour despite her own busy schedule. She aid she does no
longer want to do this.
Themes and
Sensations
We found
that many symptoms are similar to the European beaver; however, the proving
symptoms of Castoreum Canadense
are centered on the need to work very efficiently
where as the European is
more about
Hysteria and Unsuccessful efforts.
There was a
lot of energy around efficiency in this proving. Job needed to be done and any
obstacle or delay would create a lot of frustration and anger. There was not a
clear consideration, care or
understanding
of the other person’s feelings so in a way it was a non-emotional effort to get
the job done. Very focused constructive energy which could turn in to
aggressive behaviour if things were
not going
as desired which happened quite often. Difficult cooperation was leading to
complete disconnection, apathy and frustration towards the other party or the
project. There was a feeling that
cooperation
from the other side was compromised.
We felt
that the secondary reaction of the remedy was a type of strong un-motivation, indifference :
and also a need to attend to one’s immediate desire.
Mind and
Dream Themes
Efficiency/Non-
emotional
• There are a lot of activities but
nothing that leaves emotional in my
psyche.
• I was punctual to my exam which is atypical
(curative).
• I didn’t kiss my partner good bye, I drove to
school and was ready to get the business of the day done.
• I enjoyed feeling incredibly focused on one
thing, however I continued to feel antisocial and mostly dispassionate throughout
the day.
• I was walking very quickly, needed to wonder
around, being more the director than the supporter.
• Where the emotional side of myself does not
regulate what I am saying and doing.
• Feeling clear. Emotionally stable.
• People are coming to see me for treatment for
heavy problems, I am rolling through it and taking it on which was not usually
easy for me to do in the past.
• I felt like a rush of energy, almost robotic,
much focused. It felt like when I drink coffee. No emotional feeling went in my
way, like a robotic ( more masculine) I was there and I was
functional. when she snapped, my emotions came
back and came out from that robotic mood.
• I had a lot to do today, took a long shower,
felt good focused, in a gentle way, inspired by sunshine.
• I felt cheated, I need to speak up in a
factual way, not an emotional way (my emotion could get in because I have been
cheated).
• I noticed some of my colleagues gave me sympathy.
I did not care for it, almost annoying, wanted to finish the work and get back
home.
• I was more self involved since the proving,
kind of egocentric, more of my own experience.
Aggression/Anger/Frustration/Disappointment
• I have been grumpy.
• Lately I've been feeling extremely irritated
with everything at work. No patience at all. Trying hard not to snap at people.
• I've been getting rides from people to and
from work and taking the bus and skytrain. I hate it.
I hate inconveniencing people and I hate taking public transit. I don't like
feeling like relying on someone else for transportation and I don't like waiting for buses and
standing on busy trains and buses. I get irritated and like it's wasting so
much time. I had to reschedule a follow up from this week to next week and I
was so
upset with myself because I want to get my work
done and be there for my patients. It's so frustrating to feel unreliable to
them.
• My anger is not as much as before. I am in a
good space. (Curative)
• I have been feeling more frustrated again I
felt so good after the remedy Maybe I should take it again It helped with my
anger and frustration. (Curative).
• I felt beside myself, very irritable and
short.
• The atmosphere at work feels tense. Everyone
is working long hours and there is a huge transition happening there with new
protocols, a business coach, staff meetings every week.
The staff meetings frustrate me because it
seems that nothing ever gets accomplished. Lots
of talking and no action. I've been put in charge of writing protocols
for dog and cat nutrition for the clinic. Feeling a
lot of pressure between working hours at the
clinic, my piles of homework, my animals, chores, just getting a new car
tomorrow.
• Nothing, not a thing, how disappointing.
• A lot of exhausting work and negative
excitement.
Acuteness/Acute
miasm
• My feelings about the remedy: I had a thought
that it must be something from the underworld, something with a lot of
influence. It seemed to have come quick and left quick.
It reminded me of Aconite type of pace or Solanaceae with its acuteness and suddenness and emergency
type of reaction. Everything seemed so acute and as one big deal.
• In grocery store guy said do not take these
meat together you will be poisoned, and the store were dead suddenly it all got
intense and busy when we entered. Things are happening
around us very intense and acute. I feel
shocked all the time. We have to deal with emergencies all the time one after
another. Shit is happening. So bizarre. Shock, intense,
acute. Fast, emergency. Like all our life is
turning.
• As if we went through storm and now things
are settling down.
• I was in such a state that I didn't even
remember I was doing a proving. XX gave me Aconite 1M.
• The past 2 months have been terrible. To top
it all off, my dog got a hold of my proving journal and it is destroyed it a
few days ago (I think this is part of the proving) so now I need
to write a summary about my experience which I
am in the middle of doing right now.
• Dream: Was walking with an old friend, the
pedestrian walk was very narrow, one side were walls of homes, one side was
like we would fall any moment. Not like a valley, like
ditch. Fear of falling. Fear of injury from
falling. Was not watching the ditch, more concern where I walk so I do not
fall. It was intense fear of falling. My fear was acute, more than
what the danger was.
• I never had this powerful crazy intense state
before. It was like all my old emotional feelings came in two hours time in an intense
way. So powerful.
Apathy/
Melancholic/Weariness
• I want to be alone and go to my dark hole.
Hate people in the street. I usually am in for change but this time I am very
apprehensive about finding a new place. and very US for me.
• Feeling overwhelmed and very tired.
• As if after that extreme anger and madness
now I am in this state of apathy, avoiding people. I have no more energy for
myself. Talking with people takes energy. I do not want to give
my energy; it costs too much energy talking to
people.
• Feel this heavy energy. Makes me tired. This
remedy is heavy, deep, powerful, and strong, it is so there.
• I am so tired, it is like dying. Unusual
feeling of overwhelmed.
• Apathy, slow and tired. Slow, not paying
attention, completely out of it. Tired and there is nothing in my head.
• Still do not like to go in public, I want to
stay in my home, just feel in peace. There is not security issue or anything.
• I am more motivated, my energy is really
good, and I’m in a really good space energetically (Curative).
• I have felt less social than normal. And have
avoided people when possible.
• I usually gush and turn pink when I see him
at the clinic. But today that didn’t happen. I have just felt less today
overall than I normally do.
• I found it hard to connect and empathize with
my good friend who I really wanted to connect with. I felt frustrated by my
inability.
• I am feeling critical and unenthusiastic
about where I was going, what I was doing, and in general about the state of
affairs in the world.
• I am trapped in an expressionless land where
there are no strong emotions or feelings. I know deep down I don’t like it, but
on the surface I am indifferent.
• I also had trouble communicating with my
close friends and still felt very masculine as well as carrying around that
strong smell of body odour that was not my own.
• During my shift I felt uninterested in what I
was doing.
• I am not interest in getting tings done, and
it is frustrating. It is like with the proving and the school stuff, I feel an
avoidance with everything, unmotivated, I do care about the consequences.
• Internal dialogue to get it done, I am
frustrated, I have a lot of commitment, I want to be motivated. If I could I
would go to Stockholm, because my friend is there, I have missing
him a lot, that would be healing that would be
the only motivation I have inside. Once I called you I am happy I did, it is so
weird, before not motivated to do it.
• Now I’m unmotivated, I like to be passive,
and not do things, just relax. I was invited to a party, I’m too tired, I just
want to relax at home.
• I live in a room alone, over the weekend I
felt alone, but not wanted to be around people. I feel the sickness is coming
up through my pores, I needed to refresh.
Cooperation/Support/Friends
• Very strange energy is going on here, we both
work as pair, more than normal, this time is very pronounced. Working as pair
to deal with emergencies.
• I was touched because 4 classmates decided to
stay there late for me, they supported me because they had the same relation
with these women.
• I did not speak up, I felt left out from the
group, left to fend for myself, when I see the rest of the group working
together, making it through the day, it was a big thing. Maybe tomorrow I just
stay home.
• With patients, my colleagues were helpful,
felt connected and supported, it went nicely.
• I feel that in the course of this proving my
relationship have deepened, my connection is greater, my colleagues mention that
and my patients as well. It feels they are connecting more with me, it feels
great.
Maybe it all started after my conflict with the
dean of the school.
• Dream: Interesting dreams of relatives being
around, Of relatives that have passed away. Not so lucid as before the remedy
Not much conversation in dreams.
• Dream: Relationships with friends, fun
dreams, problem solving, work related.
• Dream: Connection, people that are working
together with a common goal, just like the theatre, leaning on each other, a
safe place to stretch and grow, connection as a safety net for just talking, if
you fell
you would fall but not hard, people were there
to help. Connection is like strength, but not rigid, have flexibility,
softness, coziness, it is the cure.
• Dream: About one colleague, working together,
each had a task to do. She was just there reading a book, not doing anything,
she was suppose to gather a few things and then meet
me, instead I found her in a quiet place
reading a book, I felt we were suppose to be a team, but she was being lazy and
dreamy, I felt I was doing twice the work. I was extra indignant.
I thought after I finish with a patient I need
to find out a better way to do this.
• Dream: A morning dream about a house and
friends, we established our right to be there at the house, even though the
rival groups didn’t want us there.
• Dream: Morning had a dream about two friends,
never had any dream about them before. Work, deadline- at the same time
assurance that things will be fine. It was about commercial
making company, I was creating commercial,
thought about hedgehogs to include in my commercial. Saw a man with nails
inside his back, lots of them, looking like hedgehog,
thought about using a giant magnet to pull them
out. G3
Courage/Confrontation/Boundaries
• I crave not to give my energy to other
people. I can set boundaries, I stop talking. It is more difficult with people
I know, I am more plugged in, it is like an umbilical cord, there is no
way to disconnect, there are always tugging on
you, or you tagging on them, ignoring is impossible, even in complete silence
there is always the noise of that connection.
• I was more sarcastic and straight forward. I
was talking without thinking about the consequences. So my supervisor denied me
a signature for a job I have finished, telling me it was the same job as last
time.
I said to him that to do a different job I need
a different patient. So I told him :” I have been outside flashing at people,
but they are not responding, then I said :” oh my God I don’t believe I just
said that, my
usual me would have never used the sarcasm of
flashing people. It was very spontaneous, he squinted an eye at me: like what
did you just say?
• Felt very direct and upfront with colleagues
not a good interaction with the dean of the school, she yells at a drop of a
hat, I did not say anything to upset her, usually I stay out of her way, it is
a new experience
for me to tell her: that is not OK to snap at
me. I was able to speak up, it may not come out so good for me, a little bit
fearing the consequence but not enough to stop me.
• I always feel attacked by her, snappy, why is
she angry, I am quite fearful of her usually, but I had the courage.
• I am feeling stronger, I have courage to face
the repercussion.
• I am not going to take her abusing, I can set
my boundaries.
• She is violent, that is my concern and
suspicious, she held me in her office for longer, my classmates were concern
for me and waited outside for me, watching out for me, it is crazy,
this is an acupuncture course, lots of lies, it
feels that finally there is a part of me that is expressing me.
• I stood up for myself and left the situation,
before I use to run away from her. I am not so fearful anymore and did not care
about the consequences, if standing up for myself resulted
in something bad, so be it.
• I am less cautious, then I am normally, I
never thought of myself as being cautious.
• I wanted to speak with the person I am working
with in Hawaii, I felt that now I had more courage to address the differences.
• I was compassionate with her but directed her
to another doctor. I put my boundaries.
• Before I thought I was taking a huge risk
with a big office, but now I don’t see it that way, the risk is not so
important anymore, I have a more balance prospective about it, before I use
to hold back more, now I am more balanced. It
is great.
Death/Violence
• I feel like I don't necessarily want to take
the remedy again just because it is so powerful and kind of mean and dark. I
did enjoy the issues and dreams around death and dying thou, it felt
really profound and for the first time in my
life, I wasn't really freaked out about the whole death process. I was
strangely fine with it.
• Now when we get back we have to look for
another place to stay because house smells (dead animal). It is all about dead,
really dead and smell. It is all about animals.
• We turned TV on and the program was Homes
with Homes and guess what, he was dealing with odour of a dead animal stuck
somewhere in the walls of a house. So bizarre, what are the chances?
• Find that rats had died in the ceiling and
the whole place smelled of dead animal, and my pipes burst. It was horrible,
the sick sweet smell.
• Dream: Lots of short dreams. All about death,
but it was normal in dream as a normal part of life. No fear. My best friend in
Slovakia had a miscarriage and lost her baby, but it was
normal to all of us. I am usually very fearful
about death, but this time it was normal, like accepting it as a part of life.
I woke up from my dream overwhelmed by all these deaths.
Had dream about skiing down the hill, it was
fast, overwhelming.
• Dream: We were in a neighbourhood not feeling
safe, waiting for my wife in the car, worried about her, someone knocked the
window, I was freaked out, almost jumped. He was
a policeman with gun. Then I woke up from the
shock. Feeling was: being in an unsafe neighbourhood, crime could happen. Fear
of shooting, that she would be killed. I was more
worried about her as I was in the car myself.
This was intense, fearful. I might have even jumped in bed when saw the police
man.
• Dream: Last night had dream of violence,
someone was shooting at us, my mom got wounded on her knee, I could see the
bullet hole and blood coming out. I as trying to call
911 but had also play dead so the gun man does
not know I am alive. It was scary and violent. Matter of life and death.
• Dream: I was scared there was this horrible
death that was going to happen. I came out of the nightmare before anything
happen. Real sense of foreboding sense of evil in the house. I
was busy thinking how to avoid what was going
to happen. Making a decision on how to get out. I don’t know who the people
were the evilness of the house was very disjointed was a
human ghost type or think otherworldly kind of
stuff, see through kind of stuff, other worldly. I had never had a nightmare
for ever. Interesting that I had one that is quickly gone.
• Dream: Last night I dreamed that X met a guy
with a mastiff. It seemed friendly at first but then it attacked me. The owner
didn't care and let the dog run off leash. It ran after me and
tried to attack me again. I yelled for the
owner to help and he wouldn't do anything. I was really scared and angry that
he could just let his dog do this.
• Dream: The whole world was at war, I was
trying to get away from the war. Guns and bombs everywhere. I could not see any
people in the dream. I was hiding and running and
trying to find safety but there was none. I was
terrified I could die at any moment. There were lots of old dilapidated
buildings and old rusty cars, buildings that had been destroyed.
It was dark and grey outside. There were no TVs
or radios to find out what was happening. Just chaos everywhere and I was all
alone.
• Dream: shooting dream, someone came in the
work place with a gun, he shot people, there was bleeding and dying, I felt I
had just one third of my usual emotions, I was not
panicking. I was alert and aware, but not scared
out of my pants, my heart was not racing or sweating, almost like it was not a
big deal, very odd.
Animal
Consciousness
• I found bunch of gross looking moth type
flying bugs in the biscuit Ziploc bag. I had dog liver treat in there and
somehow this disgusting insect got in there. So I threw it out, the whole bag
but they
keep coming back from somewhere. I kill one
everyday and it drives me crazy. I think they feed on garbage and are kind of
dirty and gross. They just will not go away! All these animals getting to us!
• This morning before we leave wanted to feed
the dogs but all meat in freezer got bad, the electricity was down. Very
bizarre. Raccoon foot print all over the windshield we had to clean them off.
On
ferry something smelled in the car, it was dry
dog shit in the car, had never happened before. Smell of shit. Dry shit. We had
to get to ferry get tissues and clean up.
• When we got home all fences were down,
garbage everywhere, smell of garbage. Raccoon paw prints everywhere. So bizarre.
We saw all the prints of animal paws and garbage
everywhere, we both had to deal with these
emergencies, one after another. Like animal kingdom does not like us.
• Usually I would never be so extravagant with
my time. Normally I would take things off the list first. It is relaxing to
take pressure off the future, versus taking care of your immediate
desires. Now all I do is take care of my
immediate desires. Not doing things, is my desire, which is new, I’m not afraid
of the consequences.
• Now I just take time for myself, it feels
good, relaxed. Its not like a playfulness, playfulness would be too much work.
Right now I work hard and when I have time for myself its more
relaxation, something more gentle.
• Picked up my daughter and went to the grocery
store, a man in his car called us and told us we should come and look at his
pet, I told my daughter that I thought this had to do with the proving, did not
know why, but that is what I felt. First thing
that man says to us is that those animals make great pet, but you have to get
rid of a gland that makes a terrible smell, it would be impossible to keep it
otherwise
at home, the animal starts shaking and he told
me that it was normal they contract their muscles to show their emotions (the
animal looked like a mink to me). I wanted to leave because I did not want to
give a bad example to my daughter on being
lured in a car with a cute animal, in the beginning though I felt I had to
meet this man that was calling me. It was
bizarre.
• I am talking with a prover
on the phone and it is taking long, I have very limited time my webinar will
start and I should be ready for tonight, at the same time I spot two playful
otters in the river. First time ever in these 7
years we are here. I cannot ignore it I get out to see them. It is pleasant.
• I came home to find rats in my house. I
freaked out and stayed up till 4:00 h. pulling everything out from every wall
trying to get these 2 rats out of my house. One ran out behind the dryer
through the vent.
I left the door open but didn’t see the other
one get out. I fell asleep with the lights on in my boarded up room. I could
hear other rats running around in my ceiling. I barely slept. I got up and
started going
around my dwelling trying to board up the
outside however I could. That night, I could hear them chewing on the outside
of the house trying to get in. I had set rats traps. All night I worked at
re-insulating the
wall where I could hear them trying to chew
their way in. I felt like I was losing my mind because it wouldn’t quit
chewing. I couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. I felt, like I was
being attacked by these animals. The rat was
hiding in the back of the washing machine. I see it try to run up the wall. Big
ugly grey long skin tail. I opened the door and chased it.
Out of the corner of my eye I think I see it go
out. I don’t know for sure. I stay up till 3 that morning spray foam insulating
every little hole and crack I can find inside/. When I finally lie down in bed
with the
light on I can hear the rat traps going off
outside. It feels like invasion of the rats. I am exhausted and am fearful that
they will get in. I can hear them in the ceiling. The 9th I spend the day
outside boarding up
with fine wire mesh anywhere I feel that are
getting in. Cut all trees away from the house.
• I have killed rats every night in the traps.
The first rat I killed I felt really bad and had a hard time taking it out of
the trap. After a couple days I feel, like a great hunter. I was going out in
the morning to see
how many I killed. I felt no remorse. I was
happy to be getting rid of them. I wanted to kill them all. I felt a lot of
animal energy happening. Even the way I felt about killing them. I wanted to
kill them.
I wanted them dead. I felt this aggression. I
wanted to get them and kill them. I was so tired and angry that they were
trying to invade my space. I was on a mission to keep them out of my house.
• Dream: Dreamt of seeing a cat in backyard,
went out to pet him, but on every step I was going down in mud, I was moving
difficult. I was down in mud up to my knee. I was scratching the cat and my
hand was
in mud, cat and I both were going down in mud.
It was as if I poke the cat from under the ground. No concern about being muddy
or anything. It was just this strange environment I was in. Smooth mud. I could
go from under ground, not like a tunnel. The
cat wanted to get me but I was pulling back down my hand from under ground so
it couldn’t reach me.
Disgust/Odor
• This morning before we leave wanted to feed
the dogs but all meat in freezer got bad, the electricity was down. Very
bizarre. Raccoon foot print all over the windshield we had to clean them off.
On ferry something smelled in the car, it was
dry dog shit in the car, had never happened before. Smell of shit. Dry shit. We
had to get to ferry get tissues and clean up.
• It is all about death, bad smell, shit and
garbage.
• Now when we get back we have to look for
another place to stay because house smells (dead animal). It is all about dead,
really dead and smell. It is all about animals.
• We turned TV on and the program was Homes
with Homes and guess what, he was dealing with odor
of a dead animal stuck somewhere in the walls of a house. So bizarre, what are
the chances?
• I also had trouble communicating with my
close friends and still felt very masculine as well as carrying around that
strong smell of body odor that was not my own.
• Find that rats had died in the ceiling and
the whole place smelled of dead animal, and my pipes burst. It was horrible,
the sick sweet smell.
Dullness/
Forgetfulness
• Been forgetful since the proving now I am
noticing it more. Used to forget things once in a while but now I forget things
2-3 times a day. Like I bring a book to check something and
then I do not know why I bring it so I have to
go back and do what I was doing before and check it once again to see what was
my question.
• This morning, moving so slowly. Did I brush
my teeth? Do I have this etc…To be really clear I have to stop, close my eyes
and think. Even driving to the clinic I have to think, which way I turn.
• I was so messed up that I didn't even think
of it. I had a very brief episode of feeling in a dream again yesterday in
class. It only lasted about 5 minutes and wasn't nearly as intense.
Same feeling of a dream-like state, not knowing
if what I was experiencing was real or if I was actually in the classroom
listening to the teachers and the students. The best way to describe the state
is
a state of non-reality. Dulled senses, ears,
eyes, a sense of feeling as though I could wake up at any moment.
• Dream: I was pregnant, I was not showing it
very much, but if I looked closely I could tell, I had the baby but kept
forgetting about him, woke up very upset about it, kept thinking the
baby could die because I kept forgetting him.
Sexuality
• I found myself more attracted to my male
supervisor today than I have felt before. Which, sort of threw me off. But sex
with my boyfriend was not what it is usually like. I was ready for it to be
‘over’.
• Everywhere I feel like a man, a very
straightforward sexual arouse, linear thinking, not connected with my female
part, I feel I have different eyes on, with a highly sexual part, even in the
dream I feel
very masculine, more dominant. I feel I am
behaving in a masculine way, where the emotional side of myself does not
regulate what I am saying and doing.
• I have never been just attracted to men
before, I am usually super picky about what we are thinking, before I was
attracted to anyone who had a penis.
• I have the general sensation of being hyper
aroused, hypersexual. Like I was out in the wild and putting out hormones to
try to arouse the other sex (except for my boy friend).
• Dream: I dreamt of being in my grand mothers
basement, like a family gathering and my older female cousin was there (which I
don’t have) and we end up naked and in shower together. There were sexual
feelings
but mostly just nakedness. And then I looked down
and I was bleeding in the shower. Then I was in my grandmother basement and
then there was a scene of Dexter, a drama about a serial killer-good cop. In my
drama Dexter was happy that he had an
opportunity to kill some one with permission from the police department this
time instead of having to make it like an accident or make the body disappear
in some way.
• Dream: I dream of my friend who was staying
with us and sleeping in the next room I had sexual feelings in the dream as
well but don’t desire him in a sexual way in the waking life.
• Dream: Sexual dreams, I was on a plane that
was humongous, like an hotel, the pilot kept checking on us, towards the end
everybody went away and the pilot was totally naked with
an humongous erection, very odd dream for me,
nothing happened between the pilot and I, but something could have happened, I
felt aroused.
• Dream: felt so tired did not want to get out
of bed, I was in my home masturbating, and people kept knocking at the door, I
was exasperated, I did not have even 30 minutes for myself, I was in my home
and people
kept bothering me, kept coming through, it is
like my home was belonging to everyone. The sex belonged to me and people were
annoying (it is not a common for me to dream about sex, my dreams are usually
very boring. • Dream: of being violated buy a big guy, trying to escape but he
is so strong. I was helpless but not so tormented. I felt I can enjoy this.
Water
• Water has been important since the proving,
in acupuncture there are 5 elements, water is one of them, water people are
always afraid of everything crashing, the dean of the school is a water person,
and I quarrelled
with him.
• Dream: On a boat being towed. In a small boat
and it flipped. The water is glacial. I floated for the longest time and didn’t
feel cold at all. I talked to my friends who said: Let us know when you are
ready to be pulled in. Finally when I started to feel the cold water begin to
seep through my thick wool duffle coat. I lifted my left hand and called them
to come and pick me up. Very calm and comfortable.
• Dream: I had a dream, I was feeling unsettle, not safe, there was lots of
water and I was trying to contain this overflow of water, tossing and turning a
lot.
• Dream: Image like a cartoon, like water bursting
coming from the right side of the screen, like a dam or a pipe. It was not
immediate danger, but had to take care of problem, other people helping, like a
crisis
ituation, taking care of the crisis. Woke
up, tried to manage the situation, water was still gushing, tried different
things, the crisis was the water, it was not life or death but a crisis.
• Dream: water, check board square furniture,
water was coming out from the square, inside the building, there were blocks
arranged in checker board, water was rising from below,
crisis but not life threatening, it was fun,
like splashing, almost like a game, playfulness.
• Dream: Excursion with friends in a normal old
car, and people around were dressed very well, like a runaway fashion show. We
had a limousine. I had a little uneasiness with a friend. Not sure what it was.
We shared something personal, and hugged each
other, and her boyfriend started hugging me inappropriately. Suddenly the
coffee spilled, we needed to clean, almost like a splash of water, dark water,
that water
cleared the problem with the boyfriend. He let
go of the hug, and he was angry. Again it is water that came from nowhere and
saved the situation. I was not sure if she knew about him doing it, I was
wondering if
she was in cahoots with this. I felt like
saying “don’t touch my butt.” I felt my friend knew we were in an embrace, I
was very angry with the guy.
• Dream: A colleague got caught underwater and
he was in danger of drawing, but when I tried to help, I was endangering myself,
so I kept coming on the surface to ask for help, but did not understand why
others
were ignoring me, or could not hear, finally I
got her unstuck and safe, got on dry land, other people where there, it was
fun, got back in the water and played.
