From 3 to 5 November 1949, Lilly Kolisko was invited to visit Weleda in Schwäbisch Gmünd and met with the scientific staff of Weleda (Wilhelm Pelikan, Oskar Schmiedel, Theodor Schwenk, Walther Cloos and partly Fritz Götte) - a detailed account of the discussions can be found in the company archives.
"The favourable mood for these works is undoubtedly a cheerful, harmonious one. One should not let someone potentise who has great worries [...]. What is needed is an 'objective', 'selfless' relationship between the experimenter and his experiment, unclouded by any wishful thinking. Otherwise the person's own astrality can interfere. The person's own astrality can otherwise play a disruptive role. She soon learned that some people were better suited to copper experiments, others to silver, iron, gold, or similar experiments. Not everyone is equally well-suited to all metals." The potentiser’s soul mood is undoubtedly important. A prayer-like mood; a solemn and grateful mood for one's entire life. (Of course, also coupled with the necessary external alertness!) Inner interest in one's professional work, without tension, brittleness [...]."
"With reference to the potency effect, I would say: There is a potency range in which a remedy acts only on the metabolic man; then follows a range in which there is still a slight metabolic effect, but there is already an effect on the rhythmic man; a stretch further on one acts purely on the rhythmic organism, then effects already begin to extend to the sensory-nerve organism. Further still, the remedy acts exclusively on the nerve-sense organism. It is therefore difficult to specify a precise numerical indication, as the substance from which one starts on the one hand, and the individual person one is treating on the other, must be taken into account … also the age of the person. So you can see that there is a wide field open for the doctor to decide individually, taking into account the general guidance that my curves give him."
