Treating through SENSATION METHOD

 

WORLD HOMOEOPATHY DAY is celebrated every year to honour the birth of its founder Dr. Samuel Hahnemann.  It is celebrated worldwide on 10th April every year. On this occasion, I would like to put forward some progressive ways in the field of Homoeopathy. I could improvise my results for chronic and difficult cases through this advanced way of Homoeopathy called "Sensation Method in Homoeopathy".

 

Of course, other ways of case solving remain prevalent in conventional Homoeopathy even today. Reaching to the core of a person through this method is an extremely individualistic approach and not only that it helps to bring in very good results for cases of long-standing like autism, ADHD in children, Migraines, IBS, Rheumatoid arthritis, Cancers, etc.

 

We do realize that stress comes not from the outside but from the way we perceive and react to reality, which is unique to each one of us. Most of us realize that ultimately, to minimize stress, it doesn't help to change our outside circumstances but that we need to perceive the true source of stress within us, our genetic structure, our inner needs, our delusions, our past traumas, our values and beliefs, etc.

In my work as a homeopathic physician, I need to know as much as I can about the inner process of each individual who comes to me for treatment.

I repeatedly see people going into deeper experiences of their stress, of their disease, their joy, their grief, and each time a characteristic pattern, unique to each person is revealed. Such a pattern exists in you, in me, in everyone. If we increase our awareness of this pattern, we will experience less stress and experience more peace.

This is a strong motivation in my practice, but I am equally interested in discovering what lays at the core of my own self.

As a homeopath, I do this through a simple process of enquiring. This is not a process of analysing or judging anyone or of classifying. It is a process to go deeper within and observe the experiences at those moments in life. We go deeper by asking "WHAT" and not "WHY" of something, so that we don't come out with reasons, but we uncover the true inner experience where there is no room for interpretation, theorizing, analysing. It is a process of pure observation. The essence of this way of understanding a patient lies in the concept that our behaviours and feelings stem from something much deeper in our beings. It is the sensation felt in our body and minds simultaneously, one that is constant in every shade of our life. The awareness is not intellectual awareness; it's a process to reach the experience within.

 

These ideas are the tools to reach the core.  Also, for treatment purposes, the physician finds a substance from Nature, which is Homoeopathically potentised, which matches this pattern is then administered to the patient in minimum doses to HEAL--- physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually.

 

I would like to illustrate through an example of a case in my practice -

A male patient, 40 yrs old, software engineer by profession came to me with the complaint of Rheumatoid Arthritis. He was suffering from joint pains and joint stiffness for the last 3 years. He could not fold his fingers in a fist. The joints would become red and painful in episodes. The shoulder joint would get stiff and he couldn't raise it more than 30 degrees and so wearing a shirt was also difficult.

During the case-taking process, he described that his disease started 3 years ago when he was in a stressful situation. He was leading and progressing in his job and had to prove himself at work. At the same time, his wife had a delivery. He felt that was also his responsibility, to be with his wife and take care of her and the baby. At the same time, his sister who is 4 yrs younger than him was hospitalised for tuberculosis. These are the facts of his history. What he felt must be understood and not interpreted by our own imagination.

 

At an emotional level - He was putting too much effort on all fronts. He wanted to give his best on all 3 fronts. But gradually it became too much. He started getting, exhausted and drained. He didn't get his "me time". He felt his energy was sucked out.

At a delusional level - His experience at the joints and in the situation was as if he was caught, like his joints are caught and stiff. It had impacted him in such a way that he did not feel free. In order to gain control, he needed to walk fast.

He also found that any processed food even a biscuit would aggravate his pains and redness and stiffness at joints.

When enquired about his nature as a person, he said that he was a very responsible person right from childhood- Sincere, patient, and calm. He liked to take challenges in work and always confident to give good outputs. He was a capable person, never gives up, and achieves whatever he desires. But when it becomes too much at work or at home, he needs to break free and go out for a party, travel, etc. as he feels caught.

This similar inner experience of feeling caught and the need to be free was observed in his fears, hobbies, dreams, and every stress.

Treatment - Based on this inner experience a well-selected Homoeopathic remedy was administered in proper dosage. Now after one year of continued treatment he is completely cured of the joint pains. Blood reports and X-rays are normal. He can make his fist completely and never has to think about how to raise his hand for wearing a shirt.

Not only has his Rheumatoid arthritis cured, but also his perception has changed.

Now he doesn't feel the mind to clutter even if a lot of work comes up and also without feeling a loss of control. He feels open, light, and free even when office, home, and relations are actively asking his participation at once. He doesn't feel the need to break out or to go out on vacations to come out of the stress. There is no overwhelming feeling anymore. Now he feels free enough to pursue his hobbies as well.

Not only can he eat some processed foods like bread, biscuits, curd, peanuts now which he couldn't eat at all before, he has also not taken any medicines for the last 6 months.

This illustrates that not only the joint pathology is cured but also his way of handling things in life has changed. We can see the awareness of his own self widening.

In this way, it gives me immense satisfaction to see such a change in my patient's health and establishment of inner well-being.

 

My patients are a great source of learning for me and they are the lenses through which I can see the world from a different perspective every day. When I witness such complete cures, it not only motivates me in my work but also strengthens my respect for this Art and Science called HOMOEOPATHY.

 

On this World Homoeopathy Day, I would extend my heartfelt gratitude to my guru, Dr. Rajan Sankaran, an internationally acclaimed Homoeopath, Thinker and Researcher. He sowed the seeds for this advanced development in Homoeopathy through the SENSATION METHOD and has laid a path for the well-being of Human Kind.
