A synthesis of:
I Ching
Alchemical phases
Lunar phases
Crystal systems
Miasms
Mappa Mundi

This model can be used to navigate a case to find a deep-acting remedy, based on fundamental archetypes found in natural laws.

I use it to help me use Scholten's Phase system, which I am adapting to work with Tumminello's Crystal Structures, and my own Animal Phase Model. More to come in my next book!

Working on integrating the I Ching Mandala with:
Mappa Mundi
Miasms
Ayurveda
Jungian typology
Erikson's stages of Psychosocial development

This is the main compass I am using to analyse the dynamics in cases. You can map the symptom complex according to the doctrine of polarity. You can also map the journey of transformation between elements and realms, helping unlock deeply engrained behavioural patterns. The I Ching helps us to understand how to move through a challenging life event, without using our rational minds (which are unable to make decisions). We need to trust our body intelligence to make a decision, hence the famous saying - trust your gut! When you consult the I Ching Oracle, you don't use your mind. Instead your body intelligence takes over as you throw the coins or cast the yarrow stalks.

In Homeopathy, we can use the I Ching to help us understand the archetypal dynamics of the case, how the symptoms express, how the life has unfolded, and where the stuckness needs unsticking.

Celebrating Samuel Hahnemann, the genius who founded Homeopathy whose writing continues to inspire generations of Homeopaths to adopt the role of the unprejudiced observer, sharpening our senses to observe the singular, individual, strange, rare and peculiar aspects of disease and personality. He teaches us that the patient’s subjective experience is the surest guide to understanding the nature of their suffering. This in itself empowers each patient rather than having their treatment dictated from a position of authority and (usually) having their symptoms suppressed.

Thrilled to announce that Dr. Gaurang and I will be teaching in a 2-day LIVE in-person event in Stroud this December.

Topics will range from

• Materia Medica, Repertory, Organon
• Kingdoms, Miasms, Families
• Case strategies when well selected remedies fail
• Acute cases and Homeopathic management
• Repertorisation techniques
• Treating pathological conditions and psychological conditions
• Hormonal disorders - PCOD / Infertility / Thyroid
• Psychological and Personality disorders – OCD / PTSD / Psychosis

Gaurang contacted us to express his desire to comemorate Misha by coming to the UK to share his refreshingly grounded, masterful and enthusiastic approach to Homeopathy. We, at the school, are super-excited to host his first UK seminar.

I am sure we will all learn HEAPS from him, and I shall do my best to keep up! Seriously though, we will both be playing to our strengths and drawing upon the different aspects of professional practice in the East compared to the West. The idea is that we can all learn from each other, and effectively start putting into practice the new techniques we come across.

You can buy tickets at a really reasonable price with an early bird discount until the end of October.

All the details are here for signing up:

SEE YOU THERE!

The Artiodactyla order demonstrates intriguing parallels to human expression and physiological systems, particularly when viewed through the lens of Steiner's Anthroposophical model, focusing on the threefold system of the nervous, rhythmic, and digestive systems.

The survival strategy of Artiodactyla is rooted in their ability to thrive in diverse habitats and adapt to varying environmental conditions. As ruminant animals, their digestive system employs a four-chambered stomach, allowing them to efficiently extract nutrients from fibrous plant material. This assimilation of nourishment resonates with the human digestive system, emphasizing the significance of balanced nutrition in human health.

Artiodactyla showcase remarkable rhythmic characteristics in their daily activities, such as the cyclic movements during grazing, mating rituals, and migration patterns. This rhythmic nature bears semblance to human biological rhythms, reflecting the inherent harmony and cyclic patterns present in human life, including sleep-wake cycles and hormonal rhythms.

The Artiodactyla's nervous system demonstrates an acute sense of awareness and alertness, enabling them to detect potential dangers and react swiftly. This sensory acuity aligns with human nervous functions, as both species require heightened awareness for survival and navigation in their respective environments.

The antlers of male deer serve as symbols of strength and assertiveness, akin to the human expression of dominance and self-assuredness in certain contexts. Similarly, the graceful gait of gazelles and deer mirrors human poise and elegance, evoking a sense of aesthetic beauty.

In mythology, they embody symbols of fertility, abundance, and primal instincts. Their role as totems or animal guides emphasizes their association with instinctual aspects of the human psyche, reflecting the deeper, primal layers of human consciousness.

It has become commonplace to blame disease on external infectious agents; the world out there is a hostile battleground to be conquered by suppressing the affections of disease with drugs that oppose and nullify the symptoms. We do this rather than trusting in our own nature-given, indwelling resources that instinctively seek to rebalance internal disorder.

This was a wide-ranging discussion about the Homeopathic way of life! Thanks for having me on as a guest Atiq. Blessings...

Live Seminar coming up soon!
I'll be presenting Snake and Spider remedies, their Homeopathic themes and illustrative cases. Both groups are fascinating remedies to study and are extremely useful in practice.
I will be drawing upon my book Animalia, which brings in Mythology, Mappa Mundi (Elements & Temperaments) and Astrology alongside Provings, Rubrics and Remedy pictures.
It is great that events are starting to come back face-to-face, it is so much more energising than Zoom!
Hope to see you there,
Luke

Sheldrake’s groundbreaking theory of morphic resonance raises some interesting points in a discussion of Homeopathy, particularly regarding the non-material aspect of his theory.

A species’ evolution is informed by the habits of all previous members of that species, regardless of actual physical proximity. The characteristics of a crystal are informed by similarity with other crystals that have been formed previously - the more similar something is, the more influence it has. This is the same principle as “like cures like” used in Homeopathy and outlined by Hippocrates, Paracelsus and Hahnemann. Things in nature that are similar, have an effect on each other, regardless of whether they are in physical contact or not. Therefore, if your disease symptoms are very similar to those produced by a snake venom (the effects of which have been accurately recorded in toxicological reports), then snake venom is the substance in nature that has most resonance with your condition. Because the body is so highly sensitised to this similar substance by morphic resonance, administering the minimum dose will exert an influence that prompts an immune system response according to the aforementioned Arndt-Schulz Law.

The minimum dose is the principle of Hormesis. In small doses, the body is stimulated to react to symptoms itself rather than the action of a drug.
