The Covid Chronicles # 9 – Infections of Hope and Natural Remedies

I feel in the air that infections are going up. I read it in the papers. I see few faces in the streets.

What do I do?

I breathe deeply and tell my personal ecosystem that it is well calibrated, well prepared to deal with what’s to come.

I decide not to penalize my social life or that of other people who appreciate human company, including mine.

The Resilience of Love Online – A Sequence of Three Workshops

The Resilience of Love Online is a sequence of three online workshops designed to guide people into appreciating crises as opportunities for deep emotional change.

Opportunities for:

  • Making love the ecology of one’s life
  • Becoming a source of positive energies
  • Co-creating more health and happiness on a global scale

This synergistic creation by Dr. SerenaGaia brings together a wide range of elements to offer tools that can manifest deep transformation in one’s ability to appreciate crises as opportunities for positive evolutionary change.

Workshop # 1, Your Ecosystem, Yourself focuses on supporting people in co-creating a positive energy field in one’s inner ecosystem. This workshop is based on wisdoms and practices from the Tao, as taught by Tao Master Mantak Chia at Tao Garden, including the Inner Smile and the Water Wheel. It helps people envision their own body/mind/spirit as a personal ecosystem made of symbiotic elements connected with Earthly elements and planetary forces. By knowing and loving their own personal ecosystem, people they are empowered to generate more health and happiness for themselves.

This workshop can be done on Zoom. Participants will need an open space around themselves, to stand up and move their arms and legs.

Time requirement: 90 minutes to 2 hours.

Workshop # 2, Deep Listening and Empathic Circles, initiates people to the practice of Deep Listening while holding and participating in Empathic Circles. This workshop is based on wisdom and practices from Native American cultures, and in particular, the Circle Way, by Native American elder and New Age philosopher Manitonquat. The practice of deep listening really helps people stay emotionally connected, and, when combined with the Circle Way, it helps people feel equally present and respected, so they practice trusting and becoming expressed as they connect with their own deeper emotions and those of others.

This workshop can be done on Zoom. Participants will need a private space from where to share with others in the circle. A very stable connection and a digital device that enables good facial visualization are also important.

Time requirement: 90 minutes to 2 hours.

Workshop # 3, Exploring Your Online Erotic Consent, initiates people in the arts of consent, including connecting with their own boundaries, preferences, pleasures, and communicating in clear and considerate ways. This workshop is based on wisdom and practices from the Wheel of Consent, by renown North-American sex-positive educator Betty Martin. It references the four quadrants, the roles of giver, receiver, allower, and taker, the arts of negotiating agreements within the human realm. The workshop places these tools in the wider context of listening to, and becoming aware of how to practice consent with all forms of life on the living Earth. Participants attend online from different stations. Exercises emphasize sensual touch with favorite objects and oneself. They focus on visual and auditory pleasures, on exchanging gazes and vocal expressions. Participants are invited to consider the force of Eros generated by these consensual exchanges and how it may impact life at large beyond the human realm.

This workshop is designed for Zoom. Participants need a private space from where to connect and practice in consensual ways. They need a very stable connection and a digital device that supports good facial and body visualizations.

Time requirements: 90 minutes to 2 hours.

Notes:

  • Each workshop is a self-standing element, as the sequence also builds on each of its elements.
  • Workshop # 3 is recommended for people with some experience in sex-positive education.
  • SerenaGaia feels that her own wisdom and experience as a sex-positive educator are manifest in this sequence.
  • Elements in this series are also based on wisdoms and practices from significant traditions world-wide, including the Tao, the Circle Way, and North-American Sex-Positive education.
  • Teachers and sources are honored and acknowledged in the most considerate and respectful ways.

Interested in activating and co-creating this sequence and any single workshop per se, and/or as part of a project online? Please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to co-creating with you. Thank you!

Can we answer any questions? Please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to serving you in your journey of #EcosexualLove. Enjoy!

Thanks to SPW–Sex-Positive World–we can all do it together. The arts of love begin when we appreciate sensuality, sexuality, pleasure.
We offer a sequence of three successive appointments on Sundays, 19-21:30 CEST (that’s 10am-12:30pm PST–do the math if you’re in between and anywhere else, or ask google!)
We invite you to save the dates:
18 October, 8 and 15 Nov.
Stay tuned. All detailed info below.
Thank you!

Hi Everyone–this is Karen Hery and Dr. SerenaGaia speaking to you!

At Sex Positive World we are excited about upcoming events that are probably of interest to you!

Thanks to our new friend Covid-19, people around the globe have become familiar with online conferencing–that is Zoom. Many of us already feel that our health and happiness get along better when we feel connected to a sex-positive community. Others might be ready to discover what all this is and become passionate about it. More time and more of a need to seek sex positive community connections are around us, as people’s availability, needs, and locations are shifting.

That’s where our offers come in!

We are super happy to be a part of helping all of us, wherever we live and wherever we each are in our sex positive journeys, to have options for caring and sharing and evolving. This alongside a wonderful opportunity to meet sex-positive people from around the world.

What is sex positivity? Well . . . to some of you it may sound as if it’s a bit like being positive for some strange disease. And, we can assure you, it’s NOT that. It’s actually a VERY GOOD THING. We mean, it’s good for you!

Event # 1, Oct 18, 19:00-21:30 CET. Orientation Time! To make everyone feel they can confidently step in, our kick-off offer is a Sex Positive World Universal Orientation. Join us and lots of other sex positive people from a number of SPW community chapters, for this Orientation tour. On Sunday, October 18.

Choose your own optional donation and sign up at this link: https://www.sexpositiveworld.com/event-details/orientation-2

The first hour will be an overview offered by our community leaders, a ride through who we all are together, why we choose sex-positivity and what it brings to our lives.

During the second hour people will connect with others in their countries and language regions, as a way to socialize together in smaller, more personal, breakout groups. As Dr. SerenaGaia, I’m delighted to host the social group based in  Europe. I am happy to run the conversation in whatever language(s) prevail in the group, and will welcome translation assistants. Please contact me.

Thank you!

Event # 2, Nov 8, 19:00-21:30 CET. Time for Boundaries! What’s a boundary and how will it help you to find yours from within? Boundaries are what  makes it possible for people to play it safe in life, and in amorous, romantic, and sexual relationships. Covid has brought new flavors to our sense of boundaries, creating more complexities and opening up some new possibilities.

Our International Covid-Informed Awesome Boundaries class is a space to gather in community to share and care about how to continually up our boundary seeing and setting skills. We had over 50 attendees the first time we offered it. We’re doing it all again and I am so happy to share the experience with you and anyone 21 and older that you’d like to invite. Healthy boundaries are great in all areas of life, so people can attend from inside and outside Sex Positive communities.

Choose your own optional donation and sign up at this link: https://www.sexpositiveworld.com/event-details/covid-informed-awesome-boundaries-2

Please share links to both Event # 1 and Event # 2 from the Sex Positive World website with people in your life you think will appreciate them.

Thank you!

Event # 3, Nov 15, 20:00-21:30 CET. Time for Erotic Moves and Grooves!

Yes, at SPW we find ways to make our online sex positive events connective, truly sexy and fun. It’s a challenge we love to meet. Our very first higher level will be Erotic Moves and Grooves – an All Gender Chair Dancing Class and Show with Java, a very talented world traveler.

Whether you’d be delighted to come primarily to dance or to watch . . . or a combination of the two . . . everyone is welcome to limber up together on the chair and we each choose our own adventure from there . . .

You might like to chair dance for private pleasure and/or for public display. Java will break down the finer points of chair dancing and teach a group routine you can choose to take home and play with. Or you can bust a groove on screen at the end for us all.

We celebrate consensual voyeurism as a valuable part of a sex positive life. While dance class is going on, there will also be a healthy voyeurism group empowered with tips from professional erotic dancers. What are good ways to share a respectful gaze? How can you become more aware of what visually pleases you and negotiate with others about this?

This event is open to people who have attended Event # 1 (Orientation), and Event # 2 (Boundaries), and to people who already are Level 2 in a Sex Positive community chapter.

So we recommend you join the entire sequence, starting with Event # 1, on October 18. If you’ve attended Boundaries and The Wheel of Consent in the Resilience of Love with Dr. SerenaGaia, please indicate and we will consider.

Thank you!

For Erotic Moves and Grooves, please RSVP here: https://www.sexpositiveworld.com/event-details/erotic-moves-and-grooves-level-2-spw-event. The event link will be sent once Sex Positive World has confirmed that you have met the pre-requisites.

Thank you!

In these pandemic times, everyone’s circumstances are unique. SPW events typically offer many options, so we can all be included in these sex positive journey together. Available options include: moneyless access, pay-what-you-can access, full-price ticket, and extra funder ticket. All good wishes in finding the options that work well for you!

Please get in touch with us you have any event questions. We also welcome ideas and suggestions on how to best keep us all connected during these changing and challenging times. Keep us posted and stay tuned!

Thank you!

Opening up to Health and Happiness: Awareness, Safety, and Care in Covid Times

What is safety and what does it look like in Covid times? How can we self-source the safety we desire to be caring and aware of ourselves and those around us? How can we share responsibilities for the community awareness we all desire? How can we converge this energy in the in-person events in which we choose to participate?

These questions are probably on your mind as we all open up to being part of events in-presence this summer.

At the School of Ecosexual Love we feel inspired to offer a perspective that we feel is both responsible and empowering, and includes a framework for thinking about them, a list of sources, and some specific guidelines.

We understand you are considering participating in one of our in-presence events in the 2020 summer. We kindly ask that you become familiar with our perspective and ask yourself how well you can align with it. Please feel free to respond and comment. Thank you!

Reflections

For those of us in The Resilience of Love, the online journey that started back in March, we have practiced sourcing happiness and health from within ourselves in many ways. These include the expanded Inner Smile, to cultivate our inner balance and well being, the Wheel of Consent, to become aware of our boundaries and of where we position ourselves in a given interpersonal exchange, and more. We’ve also become aware of how the more simple life required by a quarantine can have its own beauty and happiness, for ourselves, and for all forms of life that accompany us on this journey on planet Earth, including animals, plants, and other ecosystems that benefit from a cleaner environment.

As options for meeting in person with others become more open, and as we choose to respect required practices of public health, we may want to elaborate together a notion of safety that we can all consent to, and that involves practices in which we each take responsibility for ourselves and for those impacted by our behavior.

Rather than accepting the master narrative that outsources “safety” to a hypothetical vaccine and asserts this as the only way to restore the “normalcy” that has been, we propose to imagine a “new normalcy” where the source of safety is in in the empowered awareness that resides within each and everyone of us.  This “new normal” can be co-created and, I dare say, can even be fun!

The “new normal” we propose here is a dynamic strategy to access the kind of self-sourced safety that comes from the eclectic perspective of #EcosexualLove. It navigates the explorable waters between the two main current thought collectives in relation to public and personal health: the allopathic collective, that interprets diseases as “enemies,” and the holistic collective, that interprets diseases as “messages” that call our attention to some need for change.

Sometimes these collectives are also envisioned as, the one made of supposedly powerful people who “conspire” to deceive common folks, and the one made of those who willingly listen to whistleblowers adept in theorizing what these conspiracies might be all about. While it’s important to be conscious observers willing to listen to a wide array of sources that can be contrasting with one another, especially when many unknowns are still in play, it is also known that excessive attention to “conspiracy theories” and to “conspiring” can produce worries and inner imbalances that are not always useful and can often be undesirable.

We propose a healthier and happier alternative: listening deeply to ourselves. We believe that, from within ourselves, we can summon the courage of sourcing the measure of “safety” we need to get together and trust one another. As a collective, we can become more aware of how we exist symbiotically in relation to each other. As we practice personal responsibility, we contribute to the sense of safety of others. This confidence and trust can generate the freedom we all need to source courage in these not quite post Covid times. It can converge health and happiness into the journey we will share at Suncave Garden.

Sourcing Safety

Where does safety reside? It’s an important question to address for anyone wishing to join an event in presence at this time when a significant pandemic has scoured the planet. Here are some of the healthy ways to position “safety” that we, at The School of Ecosexual Love, intend to propose.

      1. Safety resides in our inherent ability to activate the competence of our immune systems by taking good care of our personal ecosystem.
      2. Safety resides in our sense of personal responsibility in containing exposure and thus minimizing risk for ourselves.
      3. Safety resides in our sense of collective responsibility in being accountable for our contacts to those who share a germicule with us, and for being willing participants in any necessary contact tracing. (A “germicule” is a household or group of people who have been Covid bonded during quarantine time.)
      4. Safety resides in our awareness of existing cures, in our trust in our competence in researching them and making them known and accessible, while still refraining from interpreting the existence of these cures as excuses to overlook the need for risk containment.
      5. Safety resides in our ability to stand in a place of confidence in the curability of the Covid-19 desease, while realizing that in practice this may not happen overnight for everyone.
      6. Safety resides in our ability to be models in overcoming the fear of death that a presumed incurability disseminates.
      7. Safety resides in our ability to say “NO” to any invitation to an activity in a journey, activity in which we don’t feel fully prepared to participate at the time when the invitation is made.
      8. Safety resides in our ability to choose social distancing during an in-presence event, to the extent that we feel so inclined, and, to choose to shorten distances on as as-we-go basis with participants who also, by consent, feel so inclined.
      9. Safety resides in our choice to bring a tent to sleep or book a single room if we choose to isolate during sleep hours, and to consume our meals away from others if that’s what we desire.
      10. Safety resides in our commitment to be totally non-judgmental of our own decisions in these regards, and of those of others.
      11. Safety resides in our willingness to be inspired by the miracles that this symbiotic new normal can create.

Questions for you. How do these ways to self-sourced safety resonate with you? How many of them are you willing to practice? Do you feel inspired about them? Do you feel they align well enough with your philosophy and practices of health?

Addressing these questions well ahead of time offers everyone a chance to reflect on what we propose and evolve a deeper alignment and sense of trust in your own ability to self-source your own sense of safety and to care about that of others. Enjoy the empowerment this brings up!

Thank you!

Guidelines

The next in-person event we are co-creating is the Alchemy of Ecosexual Love, which will happen at Suncave Garden, August 28-30. The lush, fertile, nature of this garden is healthy and vibrant with fruiting plants, and water-based amenities like pool and jacuzzi. Our hosts, Leslie and Hoppy, are excited to be there for us and offer their Casa Vacanze home style hospitality. It will be a small event to have more space for everyone, with all activities in open-air spaces except for sleep time. The exceptional Italian style cooking of the house is based on locally grown products, with luscious meals and beverages offered in the décor of a blooming garden.

This seems to us an ideal place to practice self-sourced safety with awareness and care for others. The sources that empower groups safety are reflected in the following guidelines we propose for the event:

      1. Monitoring our health in the period immediately prior to the event, and being cognizant of any symptoms that might arise. For example, monitoring one’s temperature if one feels it might have gone up.
      2. Minimizing one’s exposure to risks in the two weeks prior to the event, so as to also minimize the amount of risk each person brings to the collective of participants.
      3. Being accountable about our participation in a presential event that might involve touch with those people who share a germicule with us and are not coming, so that they might respond and protect themselves to the extent that feels necessary to them.
      4. Remembering that Covid consent, namely the choice of shortening distances or not doing so, is negotiated as we go like any other consent.
      5. Being willing to take responsibility for making our own choices and for respecting those of others.
      6. Being aware that at any time during the journey together, we each can choose to shorten our distance from others and/or to practice social distancing, to the extent that it is possible and practical.
      7. Being aware that, if one requires isolation for sleep time, reserving a single room and/or bringing one’s own tent is advisable. Suncave Garden has limited space and we may not have a single room for everyone. The garden is wide and is spacious enough to consume meals at various distances from one another.

Finding a consensus on these guidelines will greatly empower your facilitation team and hosts to offer an ideal context where to open up to health and happiness in Covid times. We hope that you resonate with these guidelines and we invite you to take them into your heart. We ask that you accept them agreement upon which the whole group will come together in safety and trust.

Can you please confirm your alignment with this agreement and can you please let us know in writing? You can email your response to serena.anderlini@gmail.com. A simple message on WhatsApp will also work, please send to +39 329 4779406. Please make sure you clearly refer to the document “Opening Up to Health and Happiness.” Thank you!

Bonobo Coaching – Sustainable Paths to Ecosexual Love

Bonobo Coaching – Sustainable Paths to Ecosexual Love

A Coaching Practice by Dr. SerenaGaia

Are you ready to embrace the Earth as your partner, as the partner you share with fellow humans an all other forms of life.

Ecosexual love is the style of love that reaches beyond genders, numbers, orientations, ages, races, origins, species, and even biological realms, to embrace all of life as a partner with equal rights.

This style of love is based on four principles and the alchemy of their related practices.

  • Know and love the ecosystem called thyself.
  • Know and love the temple of the other
  • Know and love the partner we all share: the Earth
  • Know and love those who share this partner with you: Humankind

These practices apply basic principles from Tao, Tantra, amorous inclusiveness (aka polyamory), and sexual fluidity (aka bisexuality).

When you train in these practices, you are ready to become an artivist of love. Artivists of love are beings capable of generating all the love they need and then some. They aspire to align their own health and happiness with each other, and with the health and happiness of all beings that form the ecosystems that impact them.

Artivists of love are beings of light who often manifest alchemies of ecosexual love that create balanced symbiotic connections all around.

If you envision yourself in this horizon, if you wish to practice love expansively, if you aspire to become an artivist of such expansive love, you can benefit from attending a series of weekly meetings that Dr. SerenaGaia offers online. One is known as The Resilience of Love.

Dr. SerenaGaia’s personal coaching sessions can support you in integrating your learning process with your experience and personality and in pursuing your aspirations further.

Her presential courses will resume when possible, and they include the Alchemy of Ecosexual love, and The Symbiosis of Ecosexual love.

If you are longing for transformations in your life that will empower you to navigate a given crisis and envision the symbiotic opportunities it brings to your life, you can start now.

# # # # #

Here are some questions that you might have already considered:

Are you longing for expansive ways to practice love that also support your natural sense of honesty and integrity? Do you sometimes experience monogamy as a social norm that curbs your natural capacity to express yourself as a being capable of love? Do you experience a natural desire to share yourself widely as a resource of love? Would you like to experience a natural sense of fluidity, inclusiveness, and elation when others share themselves in these capacities as well? Have you thought of what exclusivity means to you, and in what kinds of contexts you would like to experience it?

If some of these questions resonate with you, you are not alone, and you came to the right place.

The desire to practice inclusive styles of love is pervasive today.  In the age of Gaia, humankind is becoming more aware of the symbiotic nature of existence as beings who share a planet and a world. Many people are now aware of planet Earth as a generous partner and hostess. We all share this partner we love, and so when we consider sharing our resources of love in generous and inclusive ways, we know that we also honor her.

Loving fluidly and inclusively is ecosexual! Exclusivity is wonderful as long as it is an agreed upon choice in romantic, amorous, collaborative, and/or sexual aspects of any relatedness. People’s belief in the social norm of monogamy is eroding, in the context of problematic experiences in conventional marriages.  Many of us make the intentional choice to love the person, not the gender, and to espouse feminine and masculine principles within ourselves. As more scientific evidence becomes available, it becomes apparent that monogamous and monosexual behavior in humans result from culture rather than nature. At this time of accelerated change and transformation, hearts and minds connect in the noosphere and cultural notions of evolution are revisited, as people search for more symbiotic ways to relate within and around ourselves. However, not many people know how to navigate the transition from exclusivity to fluidity and inclusiveness in balanced, sustainable, compassionate ways.

Bonobo Coaching opens paths to styles of fluid and inclusive love that are gradual, balanced, and sustainable for all those emotionally involved.  Your coach, Serena, has successfully transitioned to a rich personal life of amorous inclusiveness where relationships sustain each other in balanced and graceful ways.  She has studied inclusive styles of love like polyamory and bisexuality for over two decades.  She has practiced amorous inclusiveness at various levels for about three decades.  She is the founder of the School of Ecosexual Love.  She is a scholar in the arts of healing and loving, and a supporter of the Gaia Hypothesis. She is the author of several books on these interrelated subject, and has offered workshops and coaching sessions worldwide.  She can coach in English, Français, Italiano, and Español.  She is fluent and formally trained in these four languages.

Bonobos are one of the most amorous and peaceful species Gaia, our hostess planet, has ever seen.  They use grooming, cuddling, nurturing, pleasure, sexual fluidity, and amorous inclusiveness to resolve conflicts and to enhance social cohesion.  They are the primate species genetically closest to humans.  Bonobo Coaching is a style of coaching designed to sustain us humans in activating the virtues of our genetic kinship with Bonobos and put them to beneficial use.

When not freely chosen, exclusivity can be asphyxiating.  In the transition from exclusivity to expansive amorous inclusiveness, Serena has made all the mistakes.  However, she never allowed a mistake to kick her back into asphyxiation.  What matters about mistakes is the interpretation.  In offering coaching sessions, Serena promises to sustain you in interpreting each mistake as an opportunity to learn and move one step forward on the path to the expansive amorous inclusiveness and fluidity you heart and mind aspire to.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What is coaching? How does it differ from therapy?

A: Coaching is a way to develop through a confidential dialog with a person whose wisdom and experience one trusts. This dialog intends to help one move beyond an emotional place where one feels stuck due to societal and conventional limitations, when these fall short in appreciating one’s multiple capacities and talents for love. Coaching is for people who are well. It does not intend to cure any condition. However, it does intend to sustain one in developing one’s unique talents for love.

Q: What can coaching do for me if I’m seeking to develop an inclusive style of love?

A: Inclusive love is a way of love that expands beyond the mono paradigms typical of Western cultures in the modern world: monosexuality and monogamy. Its basic premise is that love is an art whose conscious practice helps people develop their basic talents as amorous persons, and become more abundant resources of love for their communities and life as a whole.

Q: How can I get some coaching?

In general, Dr. SerenaGaia prefers to offer coaching sessions to people who have already followed and participated in one or more of her journeys, either in-presence, or online, or both. In fact, in these contexts it is easier to get to know each other in a preliminary way and to establish trust and contact. If you have already met Dr. SerenaGaia in one of these contexts, do not hesitate to contact her for one or several coaching sessions, either in-presence and online. Write to dr.serenagaia@gmail.com, or send a message on WhatsApp to +39 329 4779406. You are super welcome *. Thank you!

If you have not yet had the opportunity to attend an event led by Dr. SerenaGaia, you can request a preliminary interview with her by email or phone. In response to your request, a short preliminary assessment interview may be arranged. If Dr. SerenaGaia feels that her coaching can support you in your desire to move forward on the path of inclusive love, she will make a coaching appointment with you. Enjoy the adventure of transformation and bon courage!

Coaching can often produce results in one to four sessions. Coaching sessions can last from one to two hours each, organic time. The cost is $ 80 per hour per person. You are invited to pay your sessions in advance, by bank transfer or by Pay Pal.

Q: What kinds of coaching sessions are available?

A: Coaching sessions are available in presence, when possible, and especially during and after presential courses. See also The Garden of Pleasures. They are also possible long distance, on zoom.

Coaching sessions can be individual or with two or more participants. Typically, participants are involved in some shared love practices. Each participant is evaluated individually before coaching can start. The hourly cost of a multiple session is established according to the needs of the group or dyad. It is usually less than separate individual sessions.

Q: Are seminars also offered?

A: Yes. Dr. SerenaGaia offers a series of seminars on Ecosexual Love, including The Resilience of Love, which is offered online, The Alchemy of Ecosexual Love, which is offered on an annual basis in Suncave Garden, nearby of Rome, Italy, in the summer, and The Symbiosis of Ecosexual Love, which is a new program in the process of being launched. Go to the Calendar tab and / or click on the links for details about events that are now scheduled.

Q: How can I bring a journey with Dr. SerenaGaia to my community?

A: Journeys are available on the basis of the request from already formed groups and communities. A minimum of 15 participants is required, plus a venue with comfortable and adequate activity space, and a local person in charge of the organization. One day, one weekend, or one-week journeys can be considered, according to the experiences and needs of the community in play. The cost of participation varies around $ 60 (€ 55) per day, to which costs must be added for the venue, meals and accommodation. It is always important that the person organizing contact Dr. SerenaGaia or one of the people in her team well in advance and with a well thought out event plan. Let’s wait to hear all the beautiful proposals that will arrive! Thanks!

Q: How can I reach Dr. SerenaGaia to book some of her services?

A: At the end of this blogpost you will find all contact by phone (WhatsApp) and by email. Make sure you clearly indicate Bonobo Coaching as the motivation for your message. Thanks! You can also connect on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Remember that Serena Anderlini’s Facebook profile has maxed out on friends. We invite you to like the Dr. SerenaGaia page.

The School of Ecosexual Love – A Work in Progress – Welcome!

The School of Ecosexual Love – A Work in Progress – Welcome!

The School of Ecosexual Love is a work-on-progress to which you’re invited to contribute. Are you wanting to expand and evolve your arts of love? This is a good place for you!

Welcome to our tentative description:

The School of Ecosexual Love is a school of love where life on Gaia in all its forms is the teacher, a teacher that inspires others to practice the arts of love in ways that are natural, ecological, sexy, amorous, diverse, and brave in envisioning new alignments between the health of the planet and the health of the world.

The School of Ecosexual Love offers a variety of educational journeys, including courses, retreats, workshops, and more. All journeys are opportunities for alchemic transformation and for evolution toward more symbiotic ways of being and relating. All offerings include practices that help participants maintain a positive energy field within and around themselves, thus enhancing the alignment of health and happiness in one’s personal and one’s ecosystemic realms.

Educational modalities include online, hybrid, and presential.

Existing courses in the curriculum now include:

The Resilience of Love is an online journey that has been activated at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic and is currently active, with two parallel editions and weekly appointments, Wednesdays 9-11 PM Central EU time in Italian, and Thursday 9-11 PM Central EU time in English.

The Alchemy of Ecosexual Love is a presential introductory weekend that’s held on a yearly basis at Suncave Garden, a naturist retreat center in Cerveteri, about 30 kilometers from Rome, Italy. This retreat is now scheduled for August 28-30, 2020.

The Symbiosis of Ecosexual Love is a presential advanced course, which will be launched soon, and could have a beta edition at Suncave Garden starting on August 31, 2020.

The following course could become part of this curriculum:

The Humanities and Love, Part # 2, from 1500 to the present is a hybrid course that, in its original editions, was taught part presential and part online at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez. It consists of nine one-hour lectures in English on world and planetary history, available online on the Serena Anderlini You Tube channel, and of a series of readings, visual presentations, and tests, available online in the LMS portal called Canvas by Instructure.

As a hybrid, the course was active until 2017, and it could be reactivated as an entirely online course. It could be of interest to universities and other institutions of higher learning open to teaching Western Civilization courses organized around the theme of love.

The School of Ecosexual Love operates under the aegis of the non-profit 3WayKiss. We are evolving and in particular, we are in the process of:

–Developing a full-fledged Mission and Vision for this school
–Connecting the school with other similar schools, academies, and universities
–Presenting its offerings more widely in venues open to its approaches
–Activating more courses
–Developing certificates and awards
–Recruiting and retaining interested collaborators, participants, and assistants
–Connecting w/ possible donors and funders

How does any and all of these areas inspire you? In what ways do you think you can participate and contribute? Please get in touch. We’d love to hear. Thank you!

Do you have friends who would appreciate this opportunity? Don’t hesitate to spread the news! Share this post please. Thanks!

The Resilience of Love – Inner Meditation – A Guided Practice

The Resilience of Love presents:

Inner Meditation: A Self-Care Practice in the School of Ecosexual Love 

Conducted by Dr. SerenaGaia

Inner Meditation is a very significant practice in the care of the ecosystem called Thyself!

This article/video/podcast includes an introduction to the ancient practice of inner meditation, with its origins and benefits. It includes a guided demonstration of the meditation process itself, which can function as a self-initiation for students and followers willing to teach themselves.

If you prefer to listen rather than reading, we invite you to access our Podcasts about Inner Meditation, HERE for the INTRODUCTION, HERE for the GUIDED PRACTICE. THANK YOU!

Questions we will address in the article include:

• How can we use this ancient practice to take care of our personal ecosystem?

• How can we carry out a meditation that connects us with our inner being and the symbiotic parts that make it up?

• How can we raise the internal vibration while our awareness shifts the focus towards ourselves?

• How can we connect with planetary bodies, celestial forces, and those of Earth?

• How do we couple the yin and yang energies within us?

• How can we expand this vibration towards the areas and communities we care about?

These are the themes that we will address, while sharing inner meditation experiences and practicing together.

Before we start. How to prepare:

  • Eat moderately if you have a meal before the practice
  • Prepare a very bland and abundant herbal tea and have it warm and handy for sipping while we explain the practice
  • Wear comfortable clothes
  • Have enough space around you to sit comfortably in a yoga position on the floor, possibly on a mat or carpet and with your back resting
  • Have some pillows handy so you can use them to adjust the position to your comfort
  • Have a sleep mask handy or bandanna to cover your eyes
  • If necessary for your knees or other body area, sit in a chair

Inner Meditation

What’s meant by Inner Meditation? It’s simply a meditation that focuses inward while your body does not move. It’s not a medit-action, where you’d be doing something, for example.

Before you begin, I invite you to ask yourself two questions:

  1. What is your experience with inner meditation? Have you heard about it? Where? What context? Have you been curious about it? Have you tried it?
  2. If you are familiar with it, what’s your sense of its benefits? Have you felt some of these benefits before?What can a regular practice of Inner Meditation do for you.

It can function as the basis for your practice of holistic health
It can establish a positive relationship with your own inner landscape
It can offer your personal ecosystem calibration for the day
It can rebalance the fluxes of energies and emotion that traverse your being from impacts with the external world
It can activate the flow of your vital energy
It can reset the vibration of this energy
It can transform the frequency that emanates from your ecosystem and impacts others around you

It seems like a waste of time. Just sitting there doing nothing, right?

One hour spent doing this every day can easily save you many hours spent in

Anger, bad temper, resentment, sadness, desperation, illness
Standing in line at the doctor’s office, in a pharmacy, in therapy, at the hospital

I have been practicing for over 20 years, learning from various schools, and adapting forms to me

Time of day to do it: Morning, on waking up
My practice: waking up two hours before anything else on schedule

One hour drinking hot liquids, water, bland herbal tea

One hour sitting in a yoga position with straight but supported back, ear plugs, eye mask to protect sleep

That’s how I do it. We are all different. Everyone will adapt the practice to their needs and themselves

Here are some of the phases through which I will take you.

Get in position

Place your sleep mask over your eyes

Collect your energies

Enter your inner landscape

Breathe

Find interfaces between your external and your internal self-perception, could be hands, feet, crown

Breathe into the sacred, breathe naturally and with awareness, feel air through nostrils, down your pipes, into lungs, down your abdomen

Breathe into your spine, down to sacrum

Drop your awareness from the mind into the body

Listen, there could be emptiness, dark field, maybe anguished

Accept, stay in that

Wait for it to change color, vibration

Listen to the breath

Feel the vibration within yourself

Stay in that

Expand your awareness to the whole inner ecosystem, from the throat into the root, sacred, feel the activation of your vital energy as your awareness is enhanced

Connect with cosmic energies

White light enters from the crown, North Star, heart, left kidney, dantien, Yang energy

Green light from the Earth, through the pelvic floor, enters into the sacred, connected with the soil under you, Yin energy, your awareness crosses through the Earth, goes towards the southern cross, opposite the North Star

Moves up from your right buttock, right kidney, and into your dantien

Circle in the dantien, the two energies mix, spiral together, make a clockwise circle in the belly

Let these cosmic and terrestrial energies intermingle with each other

Clench your abdominal muscles, contract them as if you were trying to get a bowel movement, but wider

Stay in that contraction

Then release, let out the sound that wants to come

Belching, welcome

Farting, welcome

Expel air

Feel the expansion of a stronger vibration, carrying more vital energy, reaching out to include limbs

Stay in that

Expand frequency of your inner vibration into areas of our life that interest you at this time, visualize these areas, activate the energy field toward them, travel there with your energy body, connect with their frequency, imagine them as your vibration impacts them, feel your connection to them, feel how you energy impacts them, brings them to life, heals them

Visit as many of these areas as you feel inspired to do

Gradually come back to yourself, feel your own dantien

Gradually let go, relax, and when ready, slowly remove your eye mask and open your eyes

The Covid Chronicles # 0 – “Evidence” and Covid-19 – Hope for a Curable Disease Can Cure the Panic / L'”Evidenza” e il Covid 19 – La Speranza della Cura Guarisce dal Panico

Why This Post

I wrote this post with impetus and it reflects the enthusiasm of the first time that my online research brought me onto information about experimental treatments of a certain credibility. It was a very nice moment. I thought, “well, if I get sick at least I will have a cure to be guinea pig for!” And I felt that I would seek these cures and give my complete availability.

The cures discussed below are for phase 2 and phase 3, that is, fairly advanced cases of diseases attributable to Covid-19.

Now I have also received news of treatments that would be useful in phase 1, that is, with very recent symptoms. Some require prescription medicines, others use a simple combination of food supplements.

I describe these at the end of the post.

I don’t know how effective these treatments are, also because this naturally varies from case to case. I know that in field medicine, in medical practice on territory, among the people who have tried these cure and have healed, these cure register as hope. And hope is good for one’s health and the competence of one’s immune system.

This is why I disseminate this information within the framework of fostering a sense of security that is self-generated and empowering.

Perché questo post.

Questo post l’ho fatto con impeto e riflette l’entusiasmo della prima volta che la mia ricerca online mi ha portato su informazioni a proposito di cure sperimentali di una certa credibilità. È stato un momento molto bello, ho pensato, “beh, se mi ammalo almeno avrò una cura per cui fare da cavia!” E sentivo che l’avrei cercata e avrei dato completa disponibilità.

Le cure di cui si parla qui sono per la fase 2 e quella 3, cioè casi abbastanza avanzati di patologie riconducibili al Covid-19.

Ora mi sono giunte notizie anche di cure che servirebbero per la fase 1, cioè con sintomi molto recenti. Alcune richiedono medicine ricettabili, altre addirittura si servono di una combinazione di integratori alimentari.

Queste le descrivo alla fine del post.

Io non so quanto queste cure siano efficaci, anche perchè questo naturalmente varia di caso in caso. So che la medicina sul campo, la pratica medica territoriale, le persone che le hanno provate e sono guarite, le sentono come speranza. E la speranza fa bene alla salute e attiva la competenza del sistema immunitario.

Per questo diffondo l’informazione nel quadro di un senso di sicurezza che sia autogenerato e appoderante.

The Post

In an epidemic, everything is evidence for something. (Scrolla per l’italiano.) People who catch the disease and heal are evidence that a cure or cures have been found. People who catch it and die are evidence that, as Bill Gates says, a vaccine is the ONLY solution to come. Now i ask: what would you like to be evidence for, love? The answer is up to you. Cures have been found in the eye of the cyclone–some of the best hospitals of Mantua and Milan. I’m happy to translate for you so you can get what they’re about. All you have to do is ask. You decide. With love and all good wishes to you and your loved ones

In un’epidemia, tutto è prova di qualcosa. Le persone che prendono la malattia e guariscono sono la prova che sono state trovate una cura o cure. Le persone che la prendono e muoiono sono la prova che, come dice Bill Gates, un vaccino è l’UNICA soluzione, a venire. Ora chiedo: tu di cosa vorresti essere una prova, amore? La risposta sta a te. Sono state trovate cure nell’occhio del ciclone – alcuni dei migliori ospedali di Mantova e Milano. Tutto quello che devi fare è chiedere. Decidi tu. Con affetto e tutti i migliori auguri a te e alle tue persone care

Curious about cures? You bet. Cures heal from panic and we find again the courage to hope. Here i publish links to the videos about experimental cures with promising results in the ICUs of major hospitals in Mantua and Milan. I created transcripts of the videos audio tracks, then translated them into English from Italian. I trust they will help the English speaking public every where to realize that hopefully Covid-19 will become a CURABLE disease within a reasonable time. That medical experiments in Italy’s Phase 1 can be beneficial to everyone. In that case, an eventual vaccine that would at some later time safely arrive could easily be optional and not mandatory.

Curios* delle cure? Ci credo. Le cure guariscono dal panico e ritroviamo il coraggio di sperare. Qui pubblico link ai video sulle cure sperimentali con risultati promettenti nelle ICU dei principali ospedali di Mantova e Milano. Ho creato le trascrizioni delle tracce audio dei video, quindi le ho tradotte in inglese dall’italiano. Confido che aiuteranno il pubblico di lingua inglese in ogni luogo a rendersi conto che si spera che Covid-19 diventerà una malattia CURABILE entro un tempo ragionevole. Che gli esperimenti medici nella Fase 1 in Italia possano essere utili a tutti. In tal caso, un eventuale vaccino che arrivasse in futuro in sicurezza potrebbe facilmente essere facoltativo e non obbligatorio.

Fingers crossed! And please help me reach out with this information to everyone. “We have the power.” As Janis Joplin would say.

Incrociamo le dita! E per favore aiutatemi a raggiungere tutti e tutte con queste informazioni. “Abbiamo il potere”. Come direbbe Janis Joplin.

Transcript of Dr. Viecca’s video interview in Milan

Healthcare Information

Not pneumonia but a thrombosis underlying many coronavirus deaths. The latest discovery bears the signature of Professor Maurizio Viecca primary cardiologist at the Sacco hospital in Milan, who after facing the virus and studying the evolution of the disease in the most acute phase, has developed a therapy based on antiplatelet agents and anti-inflammatory already renamed Viecca protocol.

Dr. Viecca. “More than a month ago I began to observe that these patients went from the phase known helmet phase, to the intubation phase within an hour and a half, and this is not possible with mere pneumonia, because there is no virus in the world that can cause pneumonia, a virus that suddenly in an hour and a half no longer responds to the helmet and not even to intubation. That is, there is another mechanism in play.

I also started looking at the medical records of these patients and found that in some cases there was a blood test called Lidimer which was particularly high. When this altered blood test is found it means that there is thrombosis in progress. And then I spoke with the Naturopath of  Sacco, professor Nebuloni, who told me that she had actually done 30 autopsies to these patients, and in all 30 had practically found small pulmonary capillary embolism.

Now, people normally don’t know that when one has embolism of these small vessels, heparin alone, the anticoagulant alone, does nothing. And we cardiologists discovered this already 20 years ago when we did the first angioplasties during a heart attack, in which the coronary artery was finally open, the thrombus was gone, but the blood did not pass, because evidently this thrombus, breaking into small pieces, ended up closing all the capillaries of the coronary artery.

So I urgently took the same protocol, modified it and adapted it to the situation by establishing some parameters of when to start the therapy, what goal to have, etc., and we made as quickly as possible a protocol, approved by our medical committee, it’s so-called compassionate because it’s one of those protocols in which the state does not pay for the drug. Usually it is given by the pharmaceutical company, I did not want links with any pharmaceutical company, which is why I paid for it with my foundation.

I have had this protocol applied in the pulmonology department and we have applied it to five consecutive patients, young, old, what it was, and all five have had surprising results. It is the first time that something new and effective has been found.”

At the medicinal level, what was it that you introduced again?

Dr. Viecca. “On this mechanism of the platelets that join together, the anticoagulant alone does nothing, it takes this anti-aggregator. Consider that the anti-binding agent by definition is aspirin, which is given to heart patients. We administer a drug that is a hundred times more powerful than aspirin, and then as the drug ends we continue with aspirin and other drugs, so as to maintain what we call this blood fluidity so that platelets no longer join become attached to one another, do not form the famous white thrombus which then closes the capillary.”

So with this can we say that we move towards a victory in the battle against Coronavirus?

Dr. Viecca. “Yes, because with this protocol of mine is not that you go through your pneumonia, you do your pneumonia, but you don’t die. We had all these deaths a) because we didn’t understand the mechanism immediately, b) because there weren’t enough intensive care places. That’s for sure.”

However, the bureaucracy risks slowing down the possibility of treatment for Italian patients, an unacceptable delay according Professor Viecca who invites Minister Speranza to apply an urgent procedure.

Dr. Viecca. “In an emergency situation, solutions are needed, emergency routes, given that hundreds of people still die. So if I were minister of health, I would send inspectors to show him the files, to show him the results, to show him all I need to show him, because it’s not an impression, there are tests that prove this, so I have to send whoever is on duty for this, and at that point if I see that what we support is true, give us highways to make sure that we can apply it immediately everywhere.  Instead I tell you that likely this will be applied in Albania sooner, it will probably be applied in Dubai sooner than it is applied in Italy. And we are the ones that have discovered it. Which is insanity.”

Transcript of Drs De Donno and Franchini’s video documentary in Mantua

The Use of Hyperimmune Plasma in Mantua

“Let’s do an ultrasound, okay?”
Covid 19 is a new disease, but day after day, field doctors learn more about it and sharpen their weapons to cure it.
We entered the intensive care unit of the Mantua hospital, at the forefront of the treatment of Coronavirus pneumonia. Here every possible strategy is adopted, such as prone supination–patients on their stomachs can breathe better.
And several experimental, antiviral drugs like Interloquine, Chloroquine, all the way to Heparin, an anticoagulant that has aroused perhaps excessive enthusiasm.
Giuseppe De Donno, Pulmonologist, Carlo Poma Hospital, Mantua. “We have used Heparin in high doses immediately, we have seen that many patients develop pulmonary embolism despite the use of high doses of Heparin. So Heparin is not protective. It is used to prevent part of the pulmonary embolism, but there are some situations in which high doses of Heparin are not sufficient.”
Another hope against Covid is contained here, in this yellow bag. And the plasma, i.e. the liquid part of the blood, comes from people who have recovered from Covid 19.
Massimo Franchini, Hematologist, Carlo Poma Hospital in Mantua. “The recovered patient can make himself available to donate plasma, it is a hyperimmune plasma, that is, rich in specific antibodies directed against Coronavirus.”
Antibodies are the armed troops that the body manufactures to fight the infection. Those who have already won his battle can supply ammunition that those who are still fighting.
Franchini. “The fundamental aspect is the control of neutralizing antibodies. Out of one hundred potential donors, no more than 20 are eligible, with sufficient neutralizing antibodies for plasma donation. ”
The Mantua Hospital, together with San Matteo’s from Pavia, is a pioneer in this experimentation. The collected plasma is purified, and it becomes an actual medicine ready to be infused in Covid patients with acute respiratory failure.
“Good morning!” “Our patient arrived this morning with a picture of acute respiratory stress. Since yesterday he deteriorated significantly. Oxygenation in his blood collapsed. He was therefore transferred to our intensive care and we started what we call non-invasive mechanical ventilation. Here we make the first administration of hyperimmune plasma.”
At the hospital in Mantua, already 22 serious patients have received plasma infusions. All have improved and some have already healed.
De Donno. “Plasma has given us surprising results, the improvements are immediate, and when I say immediate I say within a few hours.
Patients who normally had a hard time weaning from mechanical ventilation, managed to wean from them after infusing the plasma. We were able to extubate patients who were intubated. The average length of hospitalization in our ICU was normally 16 days. Now it has now decreased to 5-6 days. ”
A pregnant woman at the 24th week was also treated while hospitalized in intensive care for Covid.
“How are we going today?”
“Definitely better today.”
“The fever is gone since yesterday.”
“So after the second plasma bag, the fever also disappeared.”
“Immediately.”
“What about the breath?”
“Definitely better.”
“Very well.”
Even the baby in the belly is fine.
She will be called Vittoria.

“I would say that your lung has just normalized.”
Although the evidence is still preliminary, plasma antibodies seem like a powerful drug.
Franchini. “In previous Coronavirus epidemics, plasma from convalescents was used. There are numerous studies that demonstrate its effectiveness. ”
De Donno. “It is the only specific treatment against Coronavirus currently in our possession. And it’s a therapy that’s a pity not to use. But when I say a pity, I mean it’s a mortal sin, not a venial sin. It is a therapy that needs to be implemented, and a therapy with very few complications. We have not observed any side effects. ”
However, there is a limit to this treatment.
Franchini. “The main limiting factor is having the donor who has healed. While here in Lombardy we begin to have a substantial number of patients who have recovered and can donate plasma, in other regions this is not the case. ”
To raise awareness of plasma donation, AVIS came out in the field.
Elisa Turrini, AVIS, Mantua. “AVIS has been fundamental in the campaign in favor of plasma, and it will be so in the coming years, also in promoting donations of this plasma. Precisely for this reason AVIS has sent all our recurrent donors an email to raise their awareness for participating in this project. ”
De Donno. “When a patient writes to you that she has been infused with a miraculous plasma, I think it is the greatest joy that can be felt, I still get goosebumps. When I see a mom saying, “thank you doctor, you will be the godfather of my little girl whom I will name Vittoria,” I think it will be a victory for humankind. I think this is a great satisfaction for those who worked on the protocol and it allows us to have this weapon in store for our patients. We are very willing to help all the centers that want to implement this type of method.”

Recipes for Phase 1 – Ricette per la fase 1

I call these recipes and not prescriptions because that’s what they are. They refer to dietary supplements that have been recommended widely from the very start. I have to say that I’ve used them, in moderate amounts. Just as a way to make sure I’d stir my immune system in the right direction.

Dietary supplements do not require prescriptions. So medical approval is not necessary. However, as simple preventatives, they are designed to supplement a bit more of what one’s personal ecoosystem might need at a given time. It’s always a good idea to use moderation at all times.

The supplements I’ve used include: Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Zinc, and Quercetin.

Quercetin has been recommended by my Italian doctor as a natural blood thinner. A useful aspect, since autopsies have found out that many Covid deaths were related to micro-embolia in the pulmonary alveoli, there where the oxygen in the breath transfers to the blood stream.

Recently, I heard that more massive dosages of these supplements have been used to combat very early symptom of Covid disease. I have no firm reference for this, except for a website located in Holland. Check it out! And I do publish it because, like many others, I do not have easy access to a local physician where I am stationed now, and if felt I had symptoms, I would try this. I’d for sure ask these experimental doctors before I’d try:

I know that at least, these supplements would not cause a great deal of harm, even in exaggerate amounts. I hope this information alleviates some anxiety. This recipe, I am told, comes from Africa, the former Netherlands colonies I believe, where a MD is practicing it.

Zinc • 120 mg per day Tablet 15 mg tablets, 2 times a day.
May also be zinc gluconate, zinc glycinate, zinc methione or zinc citrate, but not zinc oxide. Zinc sulfate is also allowed, but then the dose is 240 mg per day.

Quercetin • 4000mg per day, 500mg Tablet, 4 tablets, 2 times per day. (replaces hydroxychloroquine when not available)
Take i.c.m. zinc and fat (e.g. peanut butter, cheese, sausage).

Vitamin C • 8000mg per day, Tablet 500mg, 2 tablets 8 times per day (every 2 hours).
Take i.c.m. Quercetin

Vitamin D • 150µg per day 6000 IU, Tablet 25µg, 3 tablets, 2 times per day.

Selenium • 400µg per day, Tablet 200µg, tablet, 2 times a day.

You who read make wise use of this information. And don’t interpret the alleged curability as a green light to recklessness, especially with other people who may be more vulnerable than you. Experimental treatments do not work automatically! Thank you!

Queste le chiamo ricette alimentari e non prescrizioni mediche perché è quello che sono. Si riferiscono a integratori alimentari che sono stati ampiamente raccomandati sin dall’inizio. Devo dire che io li ho usati, in quantità moderate. Proprio come un modo per assicurarmi di muovere il mio sistema immunitario nella giusta direzione.

Gli integratori alimentari non richiedono prescrizioni. Pertanto non è necessaria l’approvazione medica. Tuttavia, come semplici preventivi, sono progettati per integrare un po’ di più di ciò che potrebbe essere necessario all’ecosistema personale in un determinato momento. È sempre una buona idea usare la moderazione in ogni circostanza.

Gli integratori che ho usato includono: vitamina C, vitamina D, zinco e quercetina.

A me la quercetina è stata raccomandata dal la mia medica italiana come un naturale fluidificante del sangue. Un aspetto utile, poiché le autopsie hanno srivelato che molti decessi Covid erano correlati alla microembolia negli alveoli polmonari, dove l’ossigeno si trasferishe dal respiro si nel flusso sanguigno.

Di recente, ho sentito che dosi più elevate di questi integratori sono state usate per combattere i primi sintomi della malattia Covid. Non ho riferimenti fermi per questo, eccetto per un sito web basato in Olanda. Visitatelo! E lo pubblico perché, come molte altre persone, qui dove mi trovo ora non ho facile accesso a un medico locale, e se sentissi di avere dei sintomi, proverei questo sistema. E sicuramente chiederei a questi medici esperimentali proma di provare.

So che per lo meno questi sintegratori non causerebbero molti danni, anche se presi in quantità esagerate. Spero che questa informazione allevi un po’ di ansia. Questa ricetta, mi è stato detto, proviene dall’Africa, credo nelle ex colonie olandesi, dove la sta praticando un MD.

Voi che leggete, fate di queste informazioni un uso saggio. E non interpretate la presunta curabilità come un via libera all’imprudenza, soprattutto con le altre persone che potrebbero essere piu vulnerabili di voi. Le cure esperimentali non funzionano in maniera automatica! Grazie!

The “Cure” for Political Barricades – La Cura delle barricate

When US Democrats and Republicans agree about the role that Hydroxycholoquine can have in helping to ease up the course of the Covid-19 pandemic, I believe the country will be on its way to a better presidency and a more collaborative, compassionate, and competent health care system and social fabric.

Hydroxycholoroquine, alongside its coadjuvants, Zinc and Azythromycine, has been used by numerous field doctors compassionate enough, and with a sense of mission strong enough, to visit patients in their home and administer this cure which requires preventative exams–for example, an EKG to make sure one’s heart will hold well enough– and also requires wisdom in dosage and timing.

It’s not a cure one would want to do without medical supervision. And, when conscientiously supervised, it is known to have saved lives, even of elderly patients in communities where responsible at-home care was practiced. My data comes from Italy, and my community of Damanhur. My doctor there asked me to do an Electrocardiogram if I felt this would be a cure I’d like to try if I became symptomatic.

Awareness of this cure has caused a lot of trouble in the US and world wide. Because confusing information about it has been spread from high quarters, which has lead people to use it irresponsibly. This I choose to interpret as a symptom of a much wider disease: the disease of ignorance and irresponsible speech found in those in power as well as in large segments of the public.

There is no reason why a medicine, that can be used off-label like many others, should be bashed or criminalized just because a powerful country ended up with a president whose public speaking skills are so below standard!

It’s kind of funny that if your are known as part of the Democratic camp and you mention this drugs, your friends will bash you. And if you’re a Republican you use it as an excuse to bash those who wear masks.

It will take a combination of practicing cures and making them accessible, and of using prudence while danger still looms around, to get the Covid numbers to go down and make sure people no longer die from it.

I do hope that political forces realize this is not the time for barricades–but rather for collaboration and deep listening to each other.

I hope this article brings hope to people who seek it, and that it brings courage to those ready to be in action about re-inventing happiness and health in Covid times.

Quando i democratici e i repubblicani statunitensi concorderanno sul ruolo che l’idrossicololochina può avere nel contribuire a facilitare il corso della pandemia del Covid-19, credo che il paese sarà sulla buona strada per una presidenza migliore e un più collaborativo, compassionevole e competente sistema sanitario e tessuto sociale.

L’idrossicolorochina, insieme ai suoi coadiuvanti, lo zinco e l’azitromicina, è stata utilizzata da numerosi medici e mediche sul campo, quell* abbastanza compassionevoli e con un senso della propria missione forte abbastanza da visitare i e le pazienti nelle loro case e da amministrare questa cura che richiede esami preventivi–ad esempio un elettrocardiogramma per assicurasi che il cuore regga abbastanza–e che richiede saggezza nei tempi e nel dosaggio.

Non è una cura che si possa fare senza supervisione medica. E, sotto una supervisione coscienziosa, è nota per aver salvato la vita, anche di pazienti anzian*, nelle comunità in cui si è praticata l’assistenza domiciliare in modo responsabile. I miei dati provengono dall’Italia e dalla mia comunità di Damanhur. La mia medica mi ha chiesto di fare un elettrocardiogramma se pensavo che sarebbe stata una cura che avrei voluto provare se diventassi sintomatica.

La consapevolezza di questa cura ha causato molti problemi negli Stati Uniti e nel mondo. Perché le informazioni confuse al riguardo sono state diffuse in alti quartieri, il che ha portato le persone a usarle in modo irresponsabile. Ho scelto di interpretare questo come un sintomo di una malattia molto più ampia: la malattia dell’ignoranza e del modo di parlare irresponsabile assai diffusa fra coloro che sono al potere e in ampi segmenti del pubblico.

Non vi è alcun motivo per cui una medicina, che può essere utilizzata off-label come molte altre, debb essere attaccata o criminalizzata solo perché un paese potente è finito in mano ad un presidente le cui capacità di parlare in pubblico sono così al di sotto dello standard!

È un assai divertente notare che se sei conosciuta come parte del campo Democratico e menzioni questa medicina, le tue amicizie ti daranno addosso. E se sei invece di schieramento repubblicano usi questa medicina come scusa per dare addosso a chi indossa la maschera!

Ci vorrà una combinazione di cure pratiche e di renderle accessibili, e di uso della prudenza mentre il pericolo incombe ancora, per far scendere i numeri Covid e assicurarsi che le persone non muoiano più per sua causa.

Spero che le forze politiche si rendano conto che questo non è il momento delle barricate, ma piuttosto della collaborazione e dell’ascolto profondo reciproco.

Spero che questo articolo porti speranza alle persone che la cercano e che porti coraggio a coloro che sono pronti e pronte ad agire per reinventare la felicità e la salute nei tempi di Covid.
