Life
is an extraordinary journey towards a higher consciousness, towards greater
understanding and experience. As living beings we are suffused with biophotons of
light and interact consciously and unconsciously with our environment. The range
of possible responses is infinite. Yet choosing the optimal response is of great
advantage.
Over the past four years I have integrated a kinesiology system, called the Kinesthetic Resonance Method (KRM), into my homeopathic practice. Therese Boyle (RCHom) has translated this very subtle form of muscle testing into a system that allows us to establish a quantum-jump-like connection with our patients and to energetically check their resonance to over 3,000 possible remedies.
These initial tests take only 5–10 minutes at the end of the consultation. This process, which we carry out with our clients, enables us to identify the remedies and potencies needed to facilitate their healing journey. For me this was a major step forward in the practice of homeopathy. By accessing their intuitive knowledge from their inner source, our patients move forward in alignment of soul, body and mind.
For me
as a homeopath working in this way, it is a liberation from the overly analytical
approach to remedy selection, from agonising decisions and the frequent question of whether I had missed the indicated remedy.
Having practised classical homeopathy for 10 years before employing
Kinesthetic Resonance, I knew there were different ways to support the
recovery process of our patients. In retrospect, however, I realise I could not
then understand the healing process as clearly as I can now.
I am now much more accepting of the path each individual must follow to
become well. It may be one remedy or several remedies may be required. It is a beautiful dance through an extraordinary field of
light energy.
The combination of KRM with homeopathy actually makes a quantum-jump-like healing approach available to us.
The development of C4 homeopathy by Witold Erler, Alize Timmerman and others has opened the way for the action of homeopathic remedies beyond the individual, so that they can now affect the family environment, society and beyond.
Each
level of the triturating process in the manufacture of C4 remedies acts on
a different level of the field. The C1 level manifests primarily the
physical symptoms; C2 relates to the emotional realm; C3 to the
cognitive and mental sphere; and C4 to the soul level.
Once we go beyond C4 we move into the domain of a larger community, which is why it is not uncommon for patients after a C5 or C6 to say that a family member they had had no contact with for years suddenly wrote or called. That is the impulse of the vibrational field when we decide to take our therapy beyond ourselves. Our role as homeopaths is to accompany our patients at their own pace, and to offer them the support they need. We bring our acquired and innate skills to this journey, and, when necessary, incorporate offerings from other therapeutic modalities.
Lucy’s story (name changed for privacy) is a fine example of self-directed healing towards greater happiness, understanding and wellbeing.
Lucy (early thirties) has been under my care for two years and we have selected remedies together using the Kinesthetic Resonance Method. I abbreviate this system as “KRM”. “RX” indicates that testing showed the patient still needs the previously prescribed remedy.
Lucy comes to the clinic with long blond hair that constantly falls into her face. She has acne on her chin. She speaks quietly and laughs softly to herself as she tells her story. She is married and has two children; the younger is still breastfed. For brevity I list only her major symptoms.
Initial consultation: 22.3.2010
Excessive body hair growth, particularly in the bikini area and lower abdomen. Previous medical tests showed she has a high DHEA level. Painful hardened facial acne, low energy expenditure, various discomforts such as back pain, burning in one foot with a hot sensation in the head. Lucy has gained weight since she was pregnant with her second child. She is emotionally hypersensitive. Her history includes sexual abuse, depression and some postnatal depressive episodes.
KRM: Oleum jecoris 20 drops three times daily
Comment: Dr J. Clarke reports that Oleum jecoris (cod liver oil) was prescribed for the acute treatment of ringworm in a patient with a tubercular miasm. Poor nutrition in children who repeatedly catch colds. Abnormal hair growth or hair loss. Emaciation or weight gain.
The
choice of potency and the limited sphere of action of this remedy indicate that
Lucy’s system resolved to work on the physical (C1) level.
Follow-up: 20.4.2010
Back pain has eased but recurred last week. Improved immune response. No more burning feet, and only occasional hot headaches. Less acne. Craving for sweets ++. Sad and down. Hair growth unchanged. An old symptom (psoriasis) re-emerged for a few days. Her energy has improved; she feels less “at her limit” and is happier overall. A breast gland swelling subsided after a few days (she is still breastfeeding).
KRM: Oleum jecoris 20 drops three times daily, less on good days.
Comment: the physical symptoms are improving and the immune response has got better. Her emotional state is becoming more apparent, and old symptoms have come and gone.
Follow-up: 19.5.2010
Much better. Last week abdominal pain, but not as severe as the last attack when the baby was five months old. Back pain is better but currently a little worse again. Hair growth has become a little worse. Severe acne. Recurring dream of her lost tomcat; she searches for him and finds him. This dream has recurred for many years and she always finds the cat at the end.
KRM: Oleum jecoris Q11, 5 drops daily for 2 months.
Comment: continued pleasing improvement with the remedy, and her system selects the remedy again, but in a different, somewhat higher potency, on the C3 level. On the subconscious level I interpret the dream as a positive sign, as the cat, which may represent a part of her, is always found.
Follow-up: 14.7.2010
Stuffy nose; however she did not catch the gastroenteritis that affected the rest of the family. Mastitis episode (fever, pain, red streaks radiating from the breast) due to sleep deprivation while caring for ill family members. Back pain recurs. Acne at a peak, except for a spot on the chin that won’t come to a head. Craving for sugar ++. She is currently drinking a lot of raw milk.
KRM: Oleum animalis. This animal oil is indicated for effects of loss of fluids, especially in nursing women. However, the remedy does not fit this acute breast infection, so another remedy is selected.
RX: Phytolacca C200 daily for two days.
KRM: Thyroid protocol (T3 C6, Zincum met. C12, Selenium C200) twice daily for two weeks following Phytolacca.
KRM: Oleum jecoris Q15, one drop daily once the thyroid protocol is completed.
Comment: The breast tissue is the second-largest iodine store in the body after the thyroid. During breastfeeding there is a much higher need for iodine for the health of mother and child, therefore thyroid remedies are given to support this process. Advised to increase dietary iodine sources (fish, seaweed).
Follow-up 13.9.2010
The mastitis responded well to Phytolacca. Her energy is good. Improved bowel function after completing the thyroid-protocol remedies. Feeling of heat.
She has not taken the Oleum jecoris drops for 2–3 weeks. Back pain before menstruation since her teens had been improved by the Oleum jecoris drops. Bloating and tenderness during menses, which had improved with the drops, have returned. Acne comes and goes, worse before menses. It seems as if she is incubating something.
“The acne doesn’t feel like a part of my body – it’s a foreign big thing stuck on my face, like an independent being. I don’t want anyone to see me when my face looks like that. I’m being punished. It’s connected with anger and rage. Things want to come out so you can get rid of them.
I have a pretty fiery temper, I can feel all this anger, and then I go out of the house, go outside, get in the car and scream everything out of me, then I come back home and feel relaxed and peaceful. When I was younger I went out and rode my horses – I felt miserable and depressed. As soon as I sat on the horse I felt right and in the right place: the feeling of freedom, the fresh air, the movement, the speed, the connection with the horse. I loved to be around them or to sit on them. Since I was 4 years old I would jump on and it felt right. Riding gives me such a wonderful feeling of relaxation. When I was younger I felt like the world was the end – no hope, no way out, I was stuck like in a pit. Now I feel like that sometimes, but I know it isn’t true.”
KRM: Lac equinum 1M, one dose every 6 days.
Comment: Now the patient has the strength to face the emotional issues related to frustration with her “herd”. She told us where her next remedy would be found: in the comfort that her relationship with a horse provided. This is an adaptive strategy that gives her freedom from her stressful relationships, and possibly a pattern from a very early life phase. The remedy will be repeatedly needed as her family situation currently poses an obstacle to healing.
Follow-up: 17.9.2010 (telephone)
The breast inflammation returned but eased with constant care and compresses. Phytolacca given; to be taken as needed.
Follow-up: 21.10.10
At the last appointment a few days ago there were no more rashes on the chin and forehead. She has felt well for five weeks and no longer needs to hide behind her hair. She had an assessment from social services regarding the sexual abuse. That evening she felt drained and anxious and said:
“I saw the acne come back – it felt foreign, as if it shouldn’t be there. I definitely didn’t want it there – I felt dirty, ashamed, yuk, I hated myself (cries). I look in the mirror: I hate you! With my weight and my skin I look in the mirror and it really is – it’s disgusting. I saw how well my feelings matched my physical state.
Recently I’ve had astral flights mentally. I wanted to ask for help from angels and guides. I felt someone was in the house. I had to wake up and get up. Then I was awake and flew through the living-room window into space. It was a sequence of visions, of stars, a very dark blue, and I’m out there and I haven’t asked for protection. What if I can’t find my way back into my body? I have to be there for my son.
I had trouble breathing, then a voice said: ‘You’re not underwater, you can breathe!’ At the very end, when I wanted to return to my body, I felt like I was underwater, just as when you dive and know you have to come up for the next breath. I felt like I was gasping for breath.
It was a deafening noise when I left my body. It’s like on the runway, as if you hear 20 jet planes flying through your head, and with it the wingbeats of the angels. After this experience it became clear to me that many things that go wrong with me are to do with self-punishment. I realised that I carry a deep shame and punish myself for it. A voice said: ‘It is not Lucy’s pain’ – but I carry it. Slowly I began to forgive him (the perpetrator), which I had previously been unable to do.
I had a dream about viewing a property with lots of land that belonged to a friend. My husband wanted to buy it and I was ready to move there with the horses. I can’t get it out of my head.”
I encouraged Lucy to transfer her feelings of shame back to the perpetrator – they are his feelings, not hers. Fifteen months later Lucy writes: “This is the most important tool anyone has ever given me. I imagined hundreds of packhorses carrying his shame and guilt back to him. I have never again had that terrible, disgusting feeling (she refers to the abuse) that I could not even put into words. I feel almost completely freed from the effects of the sexual abuse – it’s amazing that I have reached this state, I always thought I would never manage it.”
RX: Lac equinum 1M one dose in the clinic.
KRM: Living Tree Orchid Essence – “Unveiling Affection” – opens the heart to self-love.
Comment: A remedy from the “Human remedy” group seems to be emerging, as indicated by themes such as “astral flights”, “angels and guides”, “very dark blue space”, “being underwater”. She is doing an enormous amount of emotional work processing her abuse situation; therefore I wait until tests show she is ready to go there.
Follow-up: 22.11.10
Feels younger and lighter after the last consultation. Last week her husband went to a “boozy night” where drugs, drinking and gambling took place. Lucy was able to hold back her anger so that her husband could talk about it and apologise. Her self-esteem was not so affected and she could express how much it hurt her. She had some back pain again.
Her skin now shows more clear areas. She had a large cyst that did not feel foreign. Periods are less painful. No more astral flights.
Afterwards she had a dream: “I got married, and on the wedding day my husband unexpectedly gave me a lot of jewellery; I felt special and very valued.”
She wore a bikini! She is taking part in the community weight-loss programme, which is based on keeping the GI low and avoiding sweets.
RX: Lac equinum 1M, one dose per day for three days
RX: Unveiling Affection as required
Follow-up 15.12.10
Had a cold, sinusitis with lots of mucus and the sensation of being in a bubble. Last week anger surfaced in relation to a visit to her husband’s family.
We discussed how horses communicate with one another about boundary issues.
RX: Lac equinum 1M (6 reserve doses, to be repeated as needed, e.g. with anger or rage).
Comment: When patients say “last week this and that happened”, in my experience something important has occurred, and I have learned to listen to that.
Follow-up: 24.1.11
Lots of ‘positives’. The skin is very good most of the time, only sometimes breaking out before the period. She has taken some extra doses of Lac equinum when anger arose, usually before menses.
“Mostly I am now happier than ever!” She does a lot of inner work but has started smoking again – once a day as a treat when everyone is in bed.
“I have retreated into a soap bubble where my husband (and his family) can no longer hurt me.”
Previously smoking helped take the pain away.
“In a meditation I was in my parents’ house where I was abused, and then in my dream it was the same house, and there was a lot of blue light – it was really beautiful.”
KRM: Skookum chuck 6x / twice daily for 6 weeks
KRM: Contraceptive pill / Diane 35
RX: Syphilinum C200, one dose given.
Comment: Skookum chuck is a homeopathic mineral salt that helps with detoxification. It acts on the skin and on catarrhal conditions. Her language still points to a “Human remedy” remedy. I suspect that at some point she will need a “Human remedy” at the C4 level, because this seems to come from the deepest soul.
But right now the tests show that her system wants to cleanse itself of medications or vaccines. We identify all the chemicals, drugs and vaccines she has ever taken and list them. Using the tests her system identifies the pill as a problem. As this was not readily available (as a homeopathic remedy), I tested whether Syphilinum C200 as an antidote against these and other drugs would fulfil a similar purpose.
Follow-up: 26.5.2011
Lucy stopped smoking 7 weeks ago. She is doing really well. Her skin is wonderful. She had a rash before menstruation, was also very angry and broke down in tears. After the remedy she had a boil in the bikini zone – a deep abscess that discharged pus. The boils came and went during the 6 weeks of Skookum chuck.
She has set boundaries with her husband, who had been using cannabis, gambling and drinking again.
KRM: Niccolum fluoratum C200 three times daily for three days
RX: Skookum chuck 6x daily
RX: Lac equinum 1M as required (for premenstrual bouts of rage).
Comment: Niccolum fluoratum concerns a situation where someone is trying to control a “fluor” situation – her wayward husband with his drugs and gambling. Syphilitic miasm.
Follow-up: 3.11.2011
The problems with skin, hormones and weight have returned. Enlarged thyroid – as her history shows, she had glandular fever as a teenager. Nausea during the last period similar to morning sickness.
My body feels very stuck; I especially dislike it around the middle. It comforts me a little that it reminds me of pregnancy. I went back to the time when I began to love myself. I had all these lovely clothes and a lovely, round belly; part of me wants to be pregnant. My coccyx is coming forward again; it stuck out quite a bit after the birth. During pregnancy I had beautifully clear skin, and afterwards all the scars came.
“If I lose a few more kilos I really feel good, especially around the middle. It’s a much more comfortable posture when I don’t have all this weight around my belly. I can stand taller, can move freely. I am stressed when I wake up and feel that weight around my belly – then I despise myself. I feel inhibited and a bit unworthy. I feel alone with my weight problems, like someone of less worth.”
“PMS is better, less anger, more of a feeling of exhaustion; I am weak and fragile for a day or two and cry easily, but that is more of a relief. Periods now come every 25 days.
Before the period I get severe pain on the right side – under my appendectomy scar; that’s where I also had all the pain and contractions during birth – on the right side.”
Craving for sweets, grapefruit and cucumbers, raw milk and cream.
KRM: Placenta C220/5, one dose in clinic.
KRM: Tuberculinum 10M, one dose 6 days after Placenta, then monthly.
Comment: Finally Placenta from the “Human remedy” group was tested. Interestingly she had a positive test result for the C5 level, indicating the possibility of facilitating healing on the soul level and within her wider family. When people cleanse the many layers of toxins with organ remedies and diuretics, they reach a point where they suddenly see a way out of the blockage. It is as if you suddenly look through clean panes of glass.
Follow-up: 17.2.2012 by e-mail
“Long time no see! My skin was pretty good after Tuberculinum, there were long periods without eruptions. The acne is more superficial now, none of the deep, painful pimples anymore. I now have one of those painful ‘gland-type’ eruptions – on the face and on the inner thighs, and I wanted to ask if I could have another dose please?
“Also the Placenta remedy was wonderful – after only one or two days everything felt different. I would recommend it to anyone who has this empty, unloved feeling – to be among people and still feel alone. It has been a while since I took the remedy – but I haven’t had that empty feeling again. PS: My husband and I separated at the beginning of January; it is sad that it had to come to that, but it is a positive step forward.”
RX: Tuberculinum 10M monthly; a follow-up is scheduled for next month.
Comment: When I started working with Lucy I did not have access to Placenta C220/5, although I did have C3 potencies. That she left her husband is a (healthy) C5 response to a destructive situation.
According to Melissa Assilem Placenta has the following themes: separation and connection. Inner nourishment. Dreams of being excluded, not needed, imprisoned, difficulty reaching one’s goal. Fatigue, heaviness, as if dragging limbs up a hill, feeling excluded, mental drifting, intolerant, apathetic, feeling unloved (before menstruation). Isolated, disconnected, violent and sulky in the family, unfinished tasks, loss of self-control. Desire for space, wants to observe and listen, hide away – wants to be at home, self-reproach, dreams of being pregnant, being fat, being underwater. Wants to build bridges founded on the circle of love. The craving for sweets is an important symptom that improved with this remedy. The feeling of being in a soap bubble.
The placenta themes resonate throughout the story, but Lucy had to find her own timing for precisely the right remedy to be available to get her out of the placenta stage. Although she is only at the start of a long-term healing process, I see her system selecting remedies that nourish (Oleum jecoris, thyroid protocol), cleanse and detoxify (Skookum chuck, Syphilinum). She released her self-punishing drive with the help of Lac equinum and her deep connection to animals. A mineral element came in with Niccolum fluoratum when she tried to get her husband’s destructive behaviour under control. Each remedy enabled her to reach a point where she could undergo a deep change with the help of Placenta.
Directly after Placenta she was ready to work with the underlying tubercular element that had finally surfaced to continue the good work begun by Oleum jecoris. Her system needs monthly Tuberculinum to enhance Placenta. Perhaps the tubercular element gave her the strength to follow what Placenta had shown her.
I now understand that valuable information is missed in homeopathy when it is practised without connection to the patient’s quantum field, and that is why many people do not get the successes they want. We live in a complex and toxic environment where it is increasingly difficult to nourish ourselves.
Often our food is sprayed, irradiated and lifeless, which further burdens our detoxification channels. By using organ remedies in low potencies, and by also working with remedies that stimulate healing on the physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual levels, we can accompany our patients on their journey of recovery. When our patients are ready, our C4–C7 remedies take us much deeper into the collective unconscious, thereby enabling healing of ourselves, our families, our communities and our relationship with nature.
