Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack in everything That’s how the light gets in. ~Leonard Cohen, ‘Anthem’ Nothing that is complete breathes. ~Antonio Porchia, Voces, 1943, translated from Spanish by W.S. Merwin These two quotations keep popping back into my mind lately, as they [...]

I’ve written previously about the key importance of anchoring the diagnosis in the root state of mind, which is more revealing than any group of symptoms the patient has. It is easy to grasp this concept, in one way, yet patients and even practitioners find themselves constantly slipping back into the allopathic way of thinking [...]

Dr. Hahnemann, in describing his method of diagnosis, referred to the “ambient” of the patient, as one of the factors to take into consideration. What does this refer to? First of all, we need to distinguish between a person’s “ambient”, and their “environment”. If you and I are sitting together in the same room, we [...]

As a Heilkunst physician, I am qualified to practice based on completing my four year diploma program with the Hahnemann College for Heilkunst, as well as my membership in the CIHA, which is the professional association governing the scope of practice of Heilkünstlers. The framed certificates on my office wall represent many thousands of hours [...]

I’ve been periodically writing about the seasonally-related chronic miasms, or inherited disease patterns from the family tree. Coming in to the month of May, we are just hitting the transitional point halfway between the Spring Equinox, and the Summer Solstice — this is the time of the year where the Cancer miasm becomes most overt.

I used the word cloud generator at the Wordle website this morning with playful curiosity, and discovered an opportunity to blog about a few of the key words about the scientific framework and thought forms behind Heilkunst. The word cloud above was generated from some of my most recent blog posts, and, in no particular [...]

Normally, the goings-on inside the consult room are strictly confidential, and for good reason — to create a context which allows the patient to feel safe in their process to let go, and reveal things about themselves which they normally keep hidden. While writing these blogs, of course, the veil of confidentiality is still held [...]

The sixth and final phenotype I’m presenting is Lachesis, which is a remedy prepared from the venom of the Bushmaster snake of South America. If you can imagine the rapid physiological changes and emotional storm which occur after someone has been bitten by a poisonous snake, you’ll start to get a sense of the intensity [...]

The key feeling of Nux Vomica is of thwarted ambition. Ambition is something which is derived from the false ego, and drives us to accomplish things which are not derived from our true self. Such pursuits are bound to lead us into conflict or stress of various kinds, and the need for a constant recharging [...]
Posted in Fibromyalgia, Healthy Emotional Expression, Inside The Consult Room, Staphysagria, State of Mind on Apr 16th, 2012
The core theme of the phenotype Staphysagria centres around victimization. They are the type who get caught up in cycles of abuse where they are unable to say “no”, or assert a necessary boundary, but immediately regretting and resenting their own lack of voice, along with the actions of their abuser. Even in non-chronic abuse [...]
