From a small homepage to a multilingual websiteThe Internet presence of the Bruno Groening Circle of FriendsNo one would have thought that the little website started in 1998 would develop into a multilingual website with around 15,000 pages in less than ten years. We provide the most important facts about it below, along with the answers to pertinent questions from the Web team friends, who all live in Switzerland.
IZ: What do you find fascinating about the Internet presence of the Bruno Groening Circle of Friends? Werner Bürgi: Seekers of help find basic information about spiritual healing right away on the first page. It is possible with only a few "clicks" to find comprehensive information about the Bruno Groening Circle of Friends. I am able to help prepare translations in various languages. In this way help-seekers can access a lot of information in their own language.

"Please, I want to help"The first regional conferences for North AmericaIn the autumn of 2007, numerous conferences and lecture events were held. After the main North America Conference in the spring of 2007 in New York (see IZ report), many European mentors journeyed to the USA and Canada to visit their friends there. The following report provides an insight into their experiences during that trip. For the first time, regional conferences were held in all parts of this huge continent. There was a "click"The West Coast of the USA is a very special place.
During past centuries California has always drawn people who are
especially open to the spiritual and the divine. Many there who join the
Bruno Groening Circle of Friends are already "old hands" at searching for
the spiritual. Conference in San FranciscoClaudia Karrenbauer experienced this with a group of friends who had come to San Francisco for the first regional conference for the West Coast communities of the USA.
Regional Conference on the West Coast Under the leadership of the American Helene Tur, this conference became a wonderful experience. The communities were solidified, schoolings were held in all aspects of community work, and many friends offered their help with the further expansion in order to make the teaching of Bruno Groening available to others. Many American and European friends, who previously had been in contact only by telephone or during Internet conferences, now met for the first time in person. Free from sufferingAn American doctor from Portland, Oregon, was happy to personally meet her German colleague. Under his direction, she took over the task of documenting and commenting on the healing reports from her region from a medical point of view. A few friends reported that they had gotten rid of tooth-, head-, and backaches during the conference. Beaming with happiness, another friend told on Sunday how she had been liberated from suffering during the conference. For years she had suffered from pain all over her body and could hardly stand or sit. On Sunday morning she was already able to do several miles on the jogging machine at home in her fitness room. The Bruno Groening Information Journal(IZ) spoke with Claudia Karrenbauer, who mentors the friends on the West Coast of the USA with her husband. IZ: What prompted you to devote your little free
time to helping the people in the USA for going on four years now? What do
you get from that? IZ: Ms. Karrenbauer, the people in "the land of
unlimited opportunity" really have everything imaginable. What is in the
teaching of Bruno Groening that the people don't already have? IZ: You report that you have found many helpers. IZ: What do the Americans think of Bruno Groening? IZ: What have you and your companions brought home
with you? ChicagoAdeline Weiss and her team departed at the end of September for the Chicago Region to hold a conference. Trip participant Barbara Schreek tells here some of her own experiences while at the conference in Milwaukee.

"As the Hour began, an elderly man was walking back and forth in the back of the room. During the hour he moved about continually, lifting his feet and looking . . . At the end he told of what he had experienced: both of his thumb joints had been stiff for the last three months or so. Now he moved them and showed them to us beaming with joy. In addition, he had suffered from edema in both legs with swelling of the legs and feet. During the community hour he kept reaching into his shoes. At the end he took off his shoes and kept looking at his legs, which were normally slim again. He turned and moved his feet and couldn't understand what was going on." (art)
An object of ridicule- Healing from Tourette's Syndrome (tics) -Success Report of Christian Pusch, 13, Simbach am InnMonika Pusch-Donislreiter tells of the healing of her son: "Christian is a child of divorce. Even during my pregnancy and after his birth he experienced all the terrible quarrels until the divorce was over. Shortly thereafter I met a new partner with whom I have been married for several years now. Christian has had contact with his biological father the whole time. But in the time immediately after the divorce these contacts were not beneficial. They told me in the Kindergarten that his hyperactivity was hard to control. Our whole family life was in disorder, but I knew of no solution at the time.
Suffering has a name: "Tourette's Syndrome"The actual problems began for Christian during school. It was very demanding and they moved right along. I worked half-days at the time and often didn't have the patience to calmly explain things to my son the way he needed. And then I also had a miscarriage at that time and the pregnancy that followed was also problematical. Christian had already exhibited slight indications such as shoulder twitching or nasal sniffing, but by mid-October, 2001, his uneasiness was so extreme that he could no longer sit still for a minute without moving some part of his body. Then, on November 7, we learned that these frequent movements were called 'tics' and that he had a disease called 'Tourette's Syndrome' which was said to be hereditary.
The children of two of my three sisters also have this syndrome. One sister
took the path of traditional medicine. Several tests were made in the
University Clinic in Munich. Her daughter had to take a lot of strong
medication, which, however, was only possible during holiday periods because
of the severe side-effects (poor concentration, fatigue, nausea, etc.). "Mama, I don't want to live any more"I took a different tack with Christian. I wanted to spare him the strong medication. Before initiating physical therapy, I had already visited a healing practitioner, who also divined with a pendulum. She gave Christian homeopathic medicine which, however, didn't work. Both therapists were at their wit's end. During this period Christian's breathing began to stop for five or six seconds regularly. He was completely desperate and cried a lot. Once he said, 'Mama, I don't want to live any more. If I die, I will at least have peace.' In our desperation my son and I prayed to God for help. It was a very difficult time for all of us, because it is no pretty picture to have to watch how an invisible negative force compels a child to continually make spasmodic and jerky movements. It was often hard for me to keep my composure in front of my child. The misery often stayed with me until I went to sleep. Can one imagine what it means for a mother to see her child, otherwise fully normally developed, suffer so much? At the mercy of the ticsOften Christian's body was in such pain that he had to cry. He was also unable to hold back the jerky movements. When he tried, it just got worse. He had the following tics:
These tics had the following effects, for example, when Christian had to write at school or at home it meant that he had to behave very calmly. The great effort led to an increased need for physical movement. He had no control over these compulsive movements. A laughing stock for fellow studentsAlthough I had spoken with his class teacher, Christian's behavior was for many teachers incomprehensible. When conversing with them he would sometimes abruptly start making faces. With Christian's symptoms it was like being on a roller-coaster - sometimes extreme, sometimes less severe. And then there was also the fact that older students, too, noticed his abnormal movements and teased him. That happened especially when the teacher was absent or on the bus, because the bus driver wouldn't intervene. The children pulled on his jacket and schoolbag, blocked his way, and asked him why he had such a silly gait, distorted his face or twisted his shoulders. Please help me!He couldn't reply to the teasing of the others because he himself had no answer, which resulted in more ridicule. On the way home he would let the tears flow and everything would come out. When at home I saw his tear-covered face and he asked me in a sobbing voice, "Why, mama?" It wasn't easy for me to send these "mean" children good thoughts. He often cried and asked us to please help him. He didn't want all the tics any more and he hurt all over and couldn't carry on. Naturally he had tension pain from the unnatural spasmodic movements.
I was glad that the teacher said to me in another conversation that she didn't want to make the children in the class any more aware of it than they already were. They would sometimes look at him with a questioning expression, but would then forget it again. When his little brother was born he was enthralled that he loved him as he was. His joy in learning dwindles awayChristian was very irritable and couldn't take any pressure. Although he did always want to come out first, his concentration usually soon flagged. Things that he did understand he would often forget an hour later. His school achievement diminished more and more. The teacher said he needed a lot of time and was too slow. The next to last stop: a doctorIn April, 2002, Christian began therapy - six months long - with a doctor who worked with a bio-resonance device. Here, too, however, our hopes were dashed. The symptomatic ups and downs continued unchanged. A self-determined life beginsI learned of the teaching of Bruno Groening through a neighbor and was introduced in November, 2002. Ten days later Christian went to the Children's community in Simbach. I learned how to avoid concerning myself with the disease and at first didn't take any new steps. It got better and better, and as time went on the tics lessened until they had completely disappeared. We had given up everything and had done einstellen* regularly to absorption of the Heilstrom* as we were advised to do. I can't say the exact point in time of the healing. I just noticed in the autumn of 2003 at a children's weekend in Passau that Christian was free. That was on the 16th of November, exactly one year to the day after his introduction to the teaching of Bruno Groening. Was it just coincidence that I became aware of it there of all places? A new life began for Christian and for all of us. For a short time similar symptoms appeared again. But now Christian is well, has friends for the first time and happily attends the seventh grade of the secondary school.
A life without spray– Healing from bronchial asthma –Success Report of Alexander Deja, 16, KönigslutterAt the age of six I often got coughs and colds, at first once a month, then three or four times a month. I was given cough syrup and inhalations. After two or three days it would then get better. At the end of 1998, it was increasingly hard for me to breathe. I hardly ever got any rest at night because I kept being awakened by wheezing and coughing attacks and severe shortness of breath. I often slept in a sitting position. Then it was a little easier to endure. It got harder and harder for me to climb stairs and to do strenuous things such as those required in sports, so that I often had to rest. During school sports I just sat on the bench at the side and could only watch.
Sometimes I became panic-strickenMy pediatrician sent me with my mother to a lung specialist in Wolfsburg. After a thorough examination the doctor determined that I was suffering from asthma. He gave me a spray (Allergospasmin) for relief, but it only helped a little. During acute attacks, which occurred two or three times a month, I also had inhalers. An allergy test provided no further information. It often made me very sad that I wasn't able to play soccer with my friends. At school or while playing I always had to be sure I had an asthma spray with me in case of emergency, because it often happened that I would suddenly and unexpectedly have to gasp for air and cough, resulting in panic. Several times my parents then took me to the emergency room. My condition was also hard for them to endure. They were always worried about me when I was at school or elsewhere. A health resort stay on the island of Sylt in February, 2000, brought a slight improvement. After that I was able to participate in easy sports, but the severe asthma attacks kept coming two or three times a month, during which I had to use inhalers and breathing exercises all day long. Everything becomes easierIn the year 2000, my parents had learned of Bruno Groening, and in the spring of 2001 they drove with me to an introduction to the teaching of Bruno Groening in the Braunschweig children's' community. Since then it has improved considerably. While there I had coughing spells and severe shortness of breath again that lasted about three days. That must have been the Regelungen*, the cleansing of my body that I had heard about in the introduction. After that a big improvement did actually occur. The spells came less often, only about every two months, and I thus gradually needed less and less of the spray. In the summer of 2002, I drove with my mother to the family week of the Bruno Groening Circle of Friends in Bollmannsruh, near Berlin. Besides many activities, they also had community hours there, and the people can absorb a lot of the Heilstrom* there. My body reacted to it. Already during the first night I got a severe attack. The next morning the shortness of breath was so severe that my mother took me outside into the fresh air. At that moment I was able to entirely break away from it and since that day I have been completely free. All the ailments have disappeared and no further asthma attacks have occurred. I no longer need medication. I have been given a new life, can play soccer and am happy to take part in sports. I no longer have any shortness of breath or coughing spells. I can sleep peacefully at night again.
"I'll let you know something!"Bruno Groening's faith teaching – Part 4Whoever follows the teaching of Bruno Groening and opens himself up to the divine force will perceive the Heilstrom* in his own body. An entirely new enjoyment of life will come to him. Pain, worry and distress will retreat, and health, harmony and joy will come to him. He begins to experience that God is not a merciless judge enthroned above the stars, but rather a loving Father who is with mankind and wants to help it. The gap has been overcome and man experiences once again his original state. Einstellen*But how can a person absorb the Heilstrom* and open himself up to the divine force? Bruno Groening recommended to help-seekers a sitting position with arms and legs uncrossed and the palms of the hands opened upward on the thighs. In addition to this external position, it is also important to concentrate on what is happening inside one's body. An open, believing spiritual attitude is a basic requirement. In this way a person can open himself up to the stream of healing force. Bruno Groening said, "God gives goodness to all of us; we just have to absorb everything of His that He sends us - just do it!"
Bruno Groening: "God gives goodness to all of us" He explains here why the body posture is so important: "People who still have a flexible body so often like to tense it up a lot; it is also the power, the power of habit - with the legs crosswise on top of one another. Surely a person can loll about once in a while, that is, laze about with her body, but if she wants to receive the good, that is, the divine, she has to be free, with hands opened up - she has to sit or stand there with empty hands!" Kurt Trampler wrote in his book "Die große Umkehr" ("The Great Turn-around"): "[...].besides the inner preparation, a small, but indeed essential external thing is also important. One should sit with his back free and should keep both legs and both hands uncrossed. According to Groening, the touching of the hands causes a short circuit of the stream of life in the upper body. Putting the legs together or crossing them leads to the same problem in the lower body. People habitually making such errors could in the long run even bring about really unpleasant illnesses." Bruno Groening called the deliberate absorption of power "Einstellen*". The person "tunes in" to the reception of the Heilstrom*. When or where this happens is not decisive. The important thing is only that she is calm, stops all disturbing thoughts and observes exactly what is happening in her body. "What do you perceive?"Bruno Groening would ask his audiences again and again, "What do you feel? And now? And now? "All you have to do is tune in to receive - or, to express it better, obtain - the true, divine 'broadcast'. You just have to determine how to obtain this 'broadcast'. But I have to say again and again, it is only if you pay real attention to your body, if you watch what is happening in - much more than around - your own body". Every human being can perceive the Heilstrom* in his own body. One person will notice a tingling, another a feeling of coldness or of heat. A third person will have to move his arms or legs, while a fourth will shudder. In this way the Heilstrom* causes a different reaction in each person. Josef Hohmann described the way people perceive the Heilstrom* in his work, "Unter uns steht einer, den kennt keiner" ("Among us is someone who no one knows"): "The first person called upon tells of a feeling of warmness in her body, the second of a twitching in his hands, the third of a tingling in her whole body! The fourth person says, 'I feel so fresh and well!'" (the)
