The remedy brings the worst fears to the surface. It can be an intense and scary experience, especially is there is some serious pathology behind the anxieties.

I want to add a few comments about Neptunium, also Stage 7, and very closely related to Rhenium. Neptunium adds to the sense of personal presence, a process which is begun in Rhenium.
The feeling in both is “I’v arrived! With a bit of co-operation I can accomplish anything”.

The feeling is even stronger in Neptunium – the ‘grand’ remedy…[Read more]

I just got used to this relaxed feeling and enjoyed the weekend… The set of worries arising from that stressful crisis have just dissolved. It’s just hitory now. Its like the remedy dissolved one single big knot of stress that nothing else could untie – not even daily meditation.

The remedy just affected one part of my brain – more precisely…[Read more]

The proving symptoms of Tungsten (above) shows how changes the balance of the doshas due to the remedy affect the mood and perception of the provers.

The language the provers use gives us an exceptionally clear idea of how each dosha influences their perception of the situation.

Pitta decreases markedly, and as Vata increases there’s a feeling…[Read more]

Misha Norland makes a similar point in his book on the 4 Elements … Gold can represent both ’value’ and ’purity’ to some, but ’power’ and ’corruption’ to others.

So, following in the footsteps of John Damonte and Misha Norland lest seem if we can identify some of the elemental characteristics of Aurum Met. Look at the list of rubrics … does anything there intuitively suggest the dominance of any particular element? Aurum prides himself on his sense of responsibility so what about the rubric, ‘anger…[Read more]

Eiziyaga’s model of the stages of illness fits Ayurvedic theory very nicely. In Ayurveda it is held that unbalanced Doshas – Vata (inner winds), Kapha (cold + mucous), Pitta (inner heat) – spill out of ther normal pathways where there are weak spots.

Doshas getting into other channels (Srotas) and structures (Dhatus) cause irritation and…[Read more]

Yeah! I’m having that, but I’d rather say the ’cosmic force’ arises from the electronic configuration, i.e. reactivity … physical chemistry, kinetics and all that scientific ’guff’ … perhaps that’s an overly cold and pragmatic view of the universe?

Yes, I get it. Nice visualisation, with well chosen examples. There’s lots of Staphy stuff that fits Stage 1 of the Ferrum Series (Kali compounds – like Caust) which to my mind makes them very complimentary.

They can ‘follow well’ and support each other, regardless of kingdom; each having its own beneficial sphere of physiological…[Read more]

The words on this list are describing various forms of ’reactivity’. Reacivity is a key theme in the minerals.

To start with, lets just enumerate the five factors that are tested in the Big 5 Inventory:

[1] EXTRAVERSION :
Low score indicates reseserved timidity; high score indicates sociability with a strong sense of ones own status.
[2] AGREEABLENESS : Low suggests altruism and modesty; high toughness and antagonism.
[3] CONSCIENTIOUSNESS : Low…[Read more]

In this book I investigate the posibility of assigning mineral-like ’Stages’ to remedies from the plant kingdom.
To do this we have to define what we mean by a ‘Stage’ quite carefully. Dr. Sankaran has described 10 miasms using psychological and physical parameteres such as intensitiy and duration of the complaint.
Can the same parameters…[Read more]

Atkinson defines Stage 1 elements as ‘world etheric’ and Stage 2 as ‘internal etheric’. Are we talking about emotional connections and attachment?

Similarly, he describes Stage 15 a ‘world astral’ and Stage 16 as ‘internal astral’. I would say these stages have fewer emtional concerns – Stage 16 in particular, being lost in ideas and…[Read more]

More on Kali-chl: ‘Fizzing’ is a very good word to describe the brain sensation.
It can produce vexatious and lewed dreams and does seem to improve sexual energy, where lacking.
It seems to get rid the effects of old arguments and help one re-start with a fresh attitude.
There are mild needling/tingling sensations on the skin. Lots of skin…[Read more]

Another similarity is found in the Ammonia compounds, i.e. Rancour. Rancour is the accumulated effect of old arguments; Rancour is old, stale, hardened and encrusted hatred. It needs bleaching away!

This remedy is also used for apthae/ulcers, therapeutically.
