“The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.” ~ Carl Gustav Jung Dr. Hahnemann instructed his students to “participate the patient” - this was in bold opposition to the usual implication in science that the highest standard is for neutral, detached observation. This form of Heilkunst diagnosis - deep participation - is not only the key to true diagnosis, but for how to live a fully healthy life. How can our patients learn to take this skill home with them and learn how to develop it? Resources...

Sequential timeline therapy will not be successful if implemented in a mechanical manner. The ordinary, empirical mind always seeks for easy formulas or recipes to follow at a superficial level, as it has no ability to penetrate into the deeper dynamics of living function.

We’ll discuss: Why the mechanical approach to treating the sequential timeline isn’t successful. The multiple levels of meaning to any given symptom or...

In our first episode, we go into the heart of a key part of the definition of health : What is the MEANING of your symptoms of illness, and why does a complete healing process require a full understanding and integration of this content? Rather than seeing symptoms as random and annoying occurrences, they are, in fact "words" or "sentences" being spoken to us in the language of the phenomenology of symptoms. These "words" are powerful...
