"NEW INTERNET LOOK" FOR THE BRUNO GROENING CIRCLE OF FRIENDS 

Aarau, Switzerland (dil). The Bruno Groening Circle of Friends set the stage on June 4, 2004 for a "New Internet Look".

Under www.bruno-groening.de as well as other Internet addresses (domains), the Circle of Friends now appears in different dress. After over a year of intensive preparation, the new website with its 28 languages is now ready for use. "User friendliness" was emphasized through an intuitive and clearly arranged structure and a new, up-to-date appearance. This was achieved through solid programming and a thorough revision of the previous site. The new website will also facilitate the work of online editors.

AN ARTICLE IN "DAS NEUE BLATT": "IN MAY 2000 MY LIFE CHANGED!"

HEALING FROM PARKINSON'S DISEASE, DIVERTICULOSIS, TINNITUS ...

A report by Maria Schoppenhauer (81) on over 20 cases of help and healing through the teachings of Bruno Groening.

In April 2000 I learned of Bruno Groening in an article in the magazine "DasNeue Blatt" and was introduced to his teachings in early May. I immediately felt the Healing Stream and stopped trembling. The muscle pain and continuous back pain also disappeared at once and I was able to sleep without pain again after so many years. Since then I have been able to move freely. My fine motor skills, too, were all right, even for sewing. 

A new life! 
A new life has begun for me. Today I can take long walks without a cane. I even dared to get on my bicycle again after 20 years. In August 2000 I went on vacation with friends in Filzmoos, Austria and took a hike every day with no problem. I do my housework myself again without outside help. Since the introduction I no longer need figs or prunes and can ignore the lactose syrup and the diet. My digestion is good, with bowel movements sometimes even twice a day. 

I left the introduction without pain. I couldn't understand how I could suddenly be without pain after so many years - and I still am today.

Spontaneously healed!
Below is a list of examples of help and healing I have received.

After a gall bladder operation in 1951 I had to follow a strict diet or otherwise I would get colic - like stomach pain and vomiting. Six months after the introduction I was permanently well. After decades of illness I can today once again eat legumes and rich foods.

From1970 on I had a continual urge to sneeze along with watery eyes in the spring. An allergy test showed a reaction to pollen, dust, mould and other allergens. Since the spring of 2001 I have been able to enjoy nature again in the spring.

I suffered from rotary vertigo attacks from 1983 on. I often fell and when the attacks were severe had to stay in bed one or two days. Infusion therapies provided only little improvement. In the end I suffered from light rotary vertigo. My doctor diagnosed circulatory disturbances. I was able to do housework and climb stairs only with outside help. In the later years I wasn't able to leave the house and lived in continual fear of falling. Ten months after my introduction I was permanently free from the continuous rotary vertigo. 

The illness started in childhood
I suffered from constipation from childhood on. I had bowel movements only every three or four days along with stomachache and a continual sensation of fullness. A colonoscopy revealed diverticulosis (sack-like evaginatiions of the rectum) and adhesions. Lactose syrup was prescribed, white flour and sugar were disallowed and only little salt allowed. I had to eat figs and prunes by the kilo in order to have a bowel movement. Today everything is perfectly in order.

No doctor was able to help
When I started work in my profession as a nurse on a psychiatric ward in 1972 I determined that I was no longer able to lift the severely ill. I had severe back pain, especially in the cervical and lumbar spinal areas. In 1983 a slipped disk was diagnosed in the lumbar spinal area. An operation brought improvement, but soon the pain became worse. It was a persistent pain in the lumbar and cervical spinal areas that became especially severe under stress. I tried the whole range of treatments, and often the only thing that helped was to wear a cervical collar or a sacral brace. Meanwhile I was given early retirement at age 57 and couldn't even manage the household any more. I took painkillers such as Tramal and needed two canes in order to walk. An orthopaedic surgeon even told me after an examination that I shouldn't bother to come any more as he could no longer help me. Today I am well.

Pain day and night
Then suddenly my right arm and right leg began to continually tremble. When the trembling also began in my left arm in May 1995 I went to a neurologist, who diagnosed Parkinson's disease. He prescribed Madopar tablets, which I had to take six times daily. At first there was a slight improvement, but later it became worse. At the end of 1999 there were also severe, painful contractions. I had continual pain, day and night. It was especially bad at night. Only with strong painkillers was I able to sleep for a few hours. But the continual pain almost drove me crazy. It was impossible to do housework and I was entirely dependent on my husband. 

In 1983 a persistent pain began to trouble me in both shoulders. It became chronic, any shoulder movement was very painful and I could only raise my arms up to shoulder level. I was able to endure it fairly well with painkillers. An operation brought no help. Two days after introduction to the teachings of Bruno Groening I was completely pain-free and could move my arms freely again. Even hard physical work is possible again. 

From 1994 on I had noise in my right ear and in 1995 there was a continuous rushing sound in my left ear. The medical diagnosis was tinnitus. After the introduction to the teachings of Bruno Groening I experienced a spontaneous liberation from the torment of the ear noise and the continuous rushing sound. 

From 1996 on I was tormented by a red-spotted rash on both lower legs along with a very severe itching of the skin. I often scratched until it bled and could hardly sleep at night. The dermatologist diagnosed eczema and gave me cortisone salve, but there was no improvement. I experienced a short-lived improvement with a salve containing urea. With introduction to the teachings of Bruno Groening I experienced a spontaneous liberation from the itching and a month later the eczema had also disappeared.

Additional help and healing
In addition, I could also report on the very troublesome inflammation of the pancreas that I had from 1951 on, the acute circulatory difficulty that started in 1969 or the angina pectoris that are today only history. I could also tell of my cataract operation and the subsequent continual dryness of the eyes, about the high blood pressure and the incontinence after the extirpation in 1973. There, too, I was able to experience healing in all cases. Even the trembling when descending stairs of long years' duration and the fear of walking alone in the dark because I always started to stagger have disappeared. What more can I say? If this report helps anyone to attain healing who still doubts that God is the Greatest Physician and still hasn't had the courage to really let go of his illness, then that would be my greatest joy -along with my happiness over my own healing.

"...REGARDLESS OF NATION, RACE OR RELIGION…"

Establishment of a "multinational" Community in London

London (heb). Seven o'clock Saturday morning. The plane takes off for London from the Frankfurt airport. Among the passengers is Heike Beck from Germany. She leads the London Community of the Bruno Groening Circle of Friends.

Preparation and Working Circle 
Arrival at London-Hampstead at 10:30 British time. A few Bruno Groening Friends are to meet in a Work Circle. Current subjects and task areas are to be discussed and the introductory hour prepared. It's supposed to begin at one o'clock. Thanks to the help of English friends information flyers were set out and distributed in some parts of the city several days ago. Included was an invitation to the introductions, which take place every three weeks. 

Introduction and Community Hour
As a result of this public relations work numerous interested persons come together in the bright and friendly library of the "Friends Meeting House" in London-Hampstead. They receive initial information about the teachings of Bruno Groening and instructions on how they can absorb the Healing Stream as well. Hands open up, things calm down and an initial gleam is to be seen in people's eyes. After the introduction some are so enthused that they give their addresses so that they, too, can be friends from this moment on and receive further information and schooling materials. After the introduction the community hour begins. The 20 or so people present tune in together for reception of the Healing Stream and tell of healing and help received.

A successful day
It is 5:30 p.m. The trip home is beginning for Heike Beck. The tube to Heathrow Airport, flight to Frankfurt and the drive back by car. Arrival in Gersfeld around midnight. This trip to London is repeated every three weeks. In this way the Community Hours can be held regularly.

Three additional Communities
Dr.Gringinger, a physician from Austria, energetically supports the information work of the Circle of Friends. In January 2004 he held a Physicians' Information Lecture in London that was very well attended. As a result the Community has grown considerably and in the near future a second one will be founded. There are additional Communities in Leicester and Birmingham. After a visit to Manchester in September 2003 a Community was founded there as well. These three Communities are already being led by English Community Leaders. 

Multinational Community Hours 
Bruno Groening said that he had come for all people regardless of their nationality, religion or skin colour. In London this statement has become a visible reality. In the community hour there are light and dark skinned people: English, German, Israeli, Italian and Indian Friends; people from the Near- and Far East; Christians, Moslems and Jews all sit together. All of them absorb the Healing Stream and are thus connected with God. Many experience help, healing and fulfilment of their heart's desires through the teachings of Bruno Groening.
