How I Harmonized Traditional Classical Homeopathy and the Sensation Method

December 15, 2009 by Karen Berson  
Filed under General Papers

The Vital Sensation method is greatly misunderstood by many homoeopaths. Often the criticisms leveled at it are not based on an accurate understanding of its methodology or philosophy. Karen Bearson’s experience with this new form of case-taking mirrors my own in many respects, and her conclusion is the same one I came to – something new in homoeopathy does not need to diverge from the traditional Hahnemannian principles. In fact in many ways Vital Sensation reinforces the guidelines in the Organon. Enjoy the recount of her journey.

Lectures on Organon of Medicine – Portrait of Disease – Understanding Aphorism Six

August 16, 2007 by Manish Bhatia  
Filed under Organon & Philosophy

Aph 6 “The unprejudiced observer – well aware of the futility of transcendental speculations which can receive no confirmation from experience ….”

He (Hahnemann) kept saying that you should not try to find the cause of the disease in the hidden interior of the human being. The disease ’speaks’ to you through the language of the ’signs and symptoms’. Give heed to the language of the body and you will not need to create empty theories to explain the phenomenon of nature. ‘Observe’ what is happening to the patient, what changes are occurring in his/her state – instead of trying to weave theories that can not be proven with experience.

…That means if you evaluate a patient before examining the patient, or before taking the case fully, you are prejudiced; if you think of the remedy or the potency before analyzing the case, you are prejudiced. Our prejudices are reflected in our practice in many ways – in deciding what is curable and what is incurable (it is incurable because my teacher said so or because I feel it is), in diagnosing the patient, in selecting the remedy, in selecting the potency, in repetition, case management and so on.
