The Medicines
At this time Britta is producing five different medicines to heal the mother earth. Five, because five is a number of change, and in the Chinese system of numbers, five brings balance.
She is making two medicines from stone; one from a Tibetan stone and one from New Zealand jade, Pounamu. She asked Dave to find some material from a couple of healing plants of New Zealand. He suggested kawakawa and tutu. The tutu he had already collected for a special purpose, although at time he collected it, he didn't know what that special purpose was. At a time past the end of the season for fruit, the nature spirits took him directly to a kawakawa bush with one berry on it, the only one he could see amongst hundreds of bushes, (the fruit being the most potent medicinal part of the plant).
The Plants
From ancient Greek mythology, the elder was Pan's plant, Pan being the god or demigod of the nature spirits. So I see this as medicine to help the nature spirits with their work as caretakers of the invisible world. Over many centuries in Europe this tree has been planted near houses to ward off evil spirits. Dave says it doesn't ward off evil spirits, it eats them. It sucks negative energy in a much more powerful way than any other plant of his experience; and so evil spirits will not come close to it. The Kavakava is one of the three magical medicines that just about everyone from every tribe in New Zealand uses. It also has a powerful suction and is used to keep away negative energies and to hold onto a sacred perspective. The Tutu has the ability to open up and penetrate at all levels. It also promotes rapid cell regeneration. All these plant medicines will be used to reach into inaccessible places within the earth and remove the negative energies of poisons and trauma from human activities.

The Stones
My understanding is that the Tibetan stone changes belief systems. Humanity has so many belief systems that foster prejudice and all these need to change simultaneously. This Tibetan stone is a holy stone, and it has been blessed by the Dalai Lama, it has come on a big journey to be here at this time, because it needs to be here with the medicine. The greenstone, Pounamu, from New Zealand I see is a healer. It is not just to heal mother earth, it is to heal all living things on the earth, it is to bring together everything in love. It is a healing stone of New Zealand, and it is the aroha stone, the stone of peace and love. It is a green, the stone of the heart chakra.
Nature Spirit's Decision
Recently, while in Hamburg we debated whether we should sell these medicines or give them away. To give them away would make them easily accessible, but would they be valued in the way they need to be if they are free? Eventually I asked Dave to ask the nature spirits for their opinion. First he asked the locals from around Hamburg who he had met; they seemed just as ambivalent as us. Then one by one he brought in several other groups from around the continent that he had previously connected with.
It was a very crowded conference call with lots of humming and hahing but still no definitive answer. Then he called to a very old wise gnome from the south of Germany who suggested that the nature spirits who first gave the material for the medicine should be asked. So he called to the nature spirits of the forest where he had obtained the elder bark. They replied immediately: "What! Give away our medicine. No way, you must sell it." All the other nature spirits on the conference call chorused vigorously in agreement as if that was their original thought. So sell it we will at twenty Euros per bottle. Five Euros will go to Britta's company to cover the cost of production and fifteen will go to a special fund called Koha Aroha which we set up a few years ago to promote and develop the type of teachings I have been delivering in Europe for the past twelve years.
