A holistic view of health and medicine turns many commonly held ideas either inside-out, upside-down, or both. Medicine which is curative of the root cause rather than suppressive of the symptoms; seeing the interrelationships of different systems, rather than single body parts which are ‘broken’; or even the radical concept of being able to remove [...]

It wasn’t my intention to blog so much about the topic of resonance, but here I go again — in my writings, I have tended to portray the goal, or positive aspect of resonance, but am feeling today that I haven’t paid enough attention to the challenges that patients have in activating their desire function, [...]

I’ve been discussing a number of aspects of resonance, and some ways to find it for yourself. In very simple terms, you can measure if an activity is resonant for you if it seems to give you energy, rather than cost energy to do. People who are in love with their work, for example, will [...]

Yesterday, I introduced a form of exercise which is ideal for your Nether Being (Slow Burn), and today I will introduce the counterpart for your Upper Being, called P.A.C.E. or Peak 8. Similar to the idea of Slow Burn, being a condensed and focussed form of exercise which delivers the essential benefits in a very [...]

There are two basic forms of exercise which I reccomend; one is a certain form of cardio-vascular exercise called PACE or Peak 8, and the other is a form of weight-bearing exercise called Slow Burn. The term ‘Slow Burn’ comes from a book of the same name by Fredrick hahn, and is a very specific [...]

The study of Heilkunst begins with a thorough reading of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann’s works, who invented not only the method of homeopathy, but he also put forward a complete understanding of therapeutics applicable to a full range of health issues, from correcting simple imbalances, to the treatment and cure of full-blown chronic degenerative diseases.

I had a couple of experiences this weekend which reminded me of the tremendous love and enthusiasm which can often be poured into an event being put on by ‘amateurs’. One event was the Spring concert put on by The Greater Moncton Chorale entitled “The Bumpy Road to Love”. The well put together program of [...]

I recently mentioned the concept of journalling, in my post on some of the Smartphone apps useful during Heilkunst treatment. I highlighted a particular favourite tool for journalling, both for the Mac desktop, and iPhone companion app, Day One. There are, of course, numerous apps available for keeping a journal, even including plain old pen [...]

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 [...]
