Knowledge transfer
The Grete Häusler Ltd publishing house makes the teaching of Bruno Gröning publicly accessible
Shortly before he passed away Bruno Gröning said he wanted to write a book. However, it never came to that. Only the title, outline, and a written paragraph are preserved in the archives. In 1984 Grete Häusler, a healed person, longstanding collaborator of Bruno Gröning and founder of the Bruno Gröning Circle of Friends, began to write a book of the kind intended by Bruno Gröning, entitled Here is the truth about Bruno Gröning. She took over the title and outline mentioned above and reported comprehensively about the events around the "miracle man" - as he was called by the contemporary press.
When she was unable to find a publisher, she had to found her own publishing company. Thus, Grete Häusler Publishing house came into being with a single book. Today it has a comprehensive selection of books, CDs, DVDs, audio books, calendars, art cards and also a quarterly magazine that is offered in its Internet shop present.
The aim of the publishing house is defined as follows: "Grete Häusler Ltd Publishers has taken on the task of bringing the teaching and person of Bruno Gröning closer to the general public in order to give all interested people the opportunity to convince themselves of the great work of Bruno Gröning."
Income from the publishing house is used to make possible new publications, editions and acquisitions.
All employees of the publishing company work on a voluntary basis.
In addition, the publishing house and Circle of Friends are clearly separated financially.
Collaboration with doctors
The Bruno Gröning Circle of Friends is no replacement for a doctor's consultation
In accordance with Bruno Gröning example, there is no diagnosis, therapy, examination or treatment in the Circle of Friends. Medication is not recommended, prescribed or distributed, nor is anyone advised against visiting doctors or undergoing therapies or operations. According to Gröning, every healing is an act of God’s grace, and therefore promises of healing are not given in the Bruno Gröning Circle of Friends.
Many help-seekers have themselves experienced how the medical diagnosis of "incurable" can depress those concerned. Shock, fear and worries cause apprehension, weakness and disturbances directly perceptible in the body. In the Bruno Gröning Circle of Friends, the help-seeker should be built up spiritually. The many Success Reports on hand and the deeply impressive personal experience reports of healed friends are a valuable aid in strengthening the faith in one´s own healing. Suggestion and hypnosis were rejected by Bruno Gröning as involving an inadmissible restriction of the will and are therefore excluded from the Circle of Friends. The help-seeker should develop his power of belief with free will himself, also with regard to the success of medical measures still required outside of the Circle of Friends.
Collaboration with doctors
During his lifetime, Bruno Gröning tried to work collaboratively with physicians. In the Heidelberg Test, he was examined by a test commission of the Heidelberg University Clinic and impressed the doctors. However, at that time it did not come to a single collaboration because Bruno Gröning declined to make a business out of his ability.
In the Medical Scientific Study Group of the Bruno Gröning Circle of Friends today, thousands of medical specialists in all healing occupations - among them hundreds of doctors - concern themselves with healing by spiritual means according to the teaching of Bruno Gröning.
Non-denominational
In the Bruno Gröning Circle of Friends all world religions are represented
Bruno Gröning's work is not bound to any religion or denomination. It requires no new profession of faith from help-seekers. On the contrary, Bruno Gröning advised his audiences to remain true to their faith and to attend their churches. "I want to fill the churches again with believers (...) Everyone must stay in his religion but here in the community take up the power of belief." It is irrelevant whether one is Christian, Jew, Moslem, Hindu or Buddhist. The only important thing is that one carries belief in God within him or is ready to accept Him. "All people, regardless of nation, race or religion are worth being helped.", according to Gröning.
Own belief taken seriously
Bruno Gröning admonished people to take their faith to heart and put it into practice. He was aware of the deplorable state of affairs in his time and knew that many people expressed their faith with their lips, but not with their hearts. Therefore he often said: "Don’t go to church (or synagogue, mosque, temple, etc.) to rattle off your prayers! No! Put the prayers that you have said into practice!"
He urged people to take their faith seriously. "Prove that you really are a person who believes in God! Go to the house of God (as is mentioned above) and pray devoutly there! Not as before, as some individuals, perhaps even many, have done – only going there to see what this or that person is wearing and to talk about him, and many other dirty things that I have seen and heard with my own eyes and ears. You shouldn’t do that. When you go to church you should thank God devoutly for everything good that He has done for mankind."

Respect for the free will
Everyone is at any time free to choose his own path
In accordance with the teaching of Bruno Gröning the free will is the highest attribute of man. Gröning said: "I may help someone to find the way towards the good but may neither take away his choice about it nor force him to do good. Everyone must find his own way himself."
The protection of the freedom of the will is consistently put into practice as an essential basis of the teaching of Bruno Gröning. Membership in the Circle of Friends leads to no legal, financial or religious ties or obligations, can be immediately dissolved, and is thus comparable to a good personal friendship.
Most help-seekers are initially very sceptical and want first to convince themselves of everything. Bruno Gröning says of this: "Please, please do not be credulous! Today I say, as always, `You do not have to believe what I say!´ I also do not require it. A duty which you do have is to convince yourself!" Trust in the teachings of Bruno Gröning grows with the practical experience of help and healings on your own body, and this strengthens the belief that God is the Great Physician. Feeling the Heilstrom and the experience of success provide a lasting stimulus to many friends to continue on the spiritual way and to desire to learn and experience more and more.
Become the master of your own life with spiritual maturity
The teaching of Bruno Gröning is aimed at helping the friends to stay spiritually mature and to deal with it consciously, to assume the responsibility for themselves. Bruno Gröning said, "I want you to become masters of life! Everyone is the architect of his own future, for man reaps what he sows." Everyone may make mistakes, but he must take the consequences for his actions according to the natural law of cause and effect which is valid for all mankind. However, personal experiences can be acquired much more simply and faster when the spiritual principles are known. By regular exchange of experience reports amongst themselves, the friends stimulate a quick spiritual development. "One helps the other, God helps us all", said Bruno Gröning.
Public benefit organization
The “Kreis für natürliche Lebenshilfe e.V.” (Circle for Natural Aid in Life) is a recognized public benefit organization and its activity is charitable
The “Kreis für natürliche Lebenshilfe e.V.” is an entity representing the Bruno Gröning Circle of Friends in all administrative and legal matters and is registered in the District Court in Siegburg. In Germany, the “Kreis für natürliche Lebenshilfe e.V.” is a recognized charitable and public benefit organization.
Honorary and non-paying
In the Bruno Gröning Circle of Friends, no entry fees, membership contributions or other financial demands are made. All tasks in the Bruno Gröning Circle of Friends are fulfilled, as by the example of Bruno Gröning, exclusively from voluntary contributions and unpaid assistance of the friends out of gratitude for help and healing they have experienced. Thus, in the Grete Häusler Ltd. company there is no pay, no royalties or profit of any kind, not even for Dieter Häusler, the Director of the work in its entirety. The example for this is the selfless love for his fellow man of Bruno Gröning who said "I live not from the people but for the people."
Ever since the smallest beginnings of the Circle of Friends all donations and expenses in every community are thoroughly accounted for and checked. Any residual amounts are collected and applied to various tasks, mainly for the regular production of schooling material for German and foreign friends, distributed at no charge and equitably, without considering the donation income from the various communities and countries.
The Bruno Gröning Circle of Friends
An international society for healing by spiritual means
The Bruno Gröning Circle of Friends is a voluntary association of people finding the teaching of Bruno Gröning helpful and valuable and applying it.
Founding of the Circle of Friends
The Bruno Gröning Circle of Friends was founded by Grete Häusler (1922 - 2007). She met Bruno Gröning in 1950 and at their first encounter experienced healing herself from three incurable ailments. Thereafter she became a close associate of Bruno Gröning and established communities in Austria. After Bruno Gröning's death 1959 she found that healings were continuing. In 1979 she founded the Circle of Friends, which had the task of preserving Bruno Gröning's spiritual legacy for posterity and offering people the possibility of obtaining help and healing. At first there were only a handful of like-minded people, but by the end of the eighties a rapid growth had begun. Now led by Dieter Häusler, Grete Häusler’s son, the Bruno Gröning Circle of Friends is today one of the largest associations for spiritual healing in the world.
Local communities worldwide
There are now local communities in all European countries as well as on all continents on earth, altogether in 100 countries where the friends meet every three weeks for community hours. In addition to the local communities for adults, the youth and children can also attend their own community hours. Here, too, healings occur. Moreover there is the Medical-scientific study group (MWF) for doctors, alternative healers and other healthcare professionals.
No financial or religious requirements
The work of the Bruno Gröning Circle of Friends is financed exclusively by voluntary donations and all helpers work on a voluntary basis. The Circle of Friends is not connected to any religion or confession. People from all the great world religions belong to it.
In accordance with Bruno Gröning's example, there is no diagnosis, therapy, examination or treatment in the Circle of Friends. Nor is anyone advised against visiting doctors, taking medicine or undergoing therapies or operations. According to Gröning, every healing is an act of God’s grace, and hence also no promises of healing are given in the Bruno Gröning Circle of Friends.
