| "The
creator of the Homeopathic system, Christian Frederich Samuel
Hahnemann, was born on April 10, 1755, in Meissen, Germany.
. . .
"When Hahnemann was
20 he embarked on his medical studies at the university
in Leipzig, which was considered to have the best medical
faculty at the time. He made his living by tutoring German
and French to wealthy foreign students and by translating
scientific texts. An adept student of languages (he was
fluent in German, English, French, Italian, Latin and Greek,
and was also knowledgeable enough to translate Hebrew, Chaldaic
and Arabic), scientific and medical translation became Hahnemann's
stopgap means of earning a living for many years. Ultimately,
one of the texts he translated would lead him to discovery
of the fundamental principle of homeopathy, the Law of Similars."
"From the start, Hahnemann
found the medical practices of his time to be questionable.
Medical theories of that period focused on the balance of
"humours" (fluids) in the body. Clinical techniques
were primarily based on the idea that health could be restored
by removing supposedly noxious fluids from the body. Thus,
the most popular treatments tried to encourage sweating,
vomiting, diarrhea, bleeding via cutting of veins (venesection)
or the application of leeches, or the creation of blisters
to draw inflammation from one part of the body to another.
Sedation via opiates was also popular, as was the use of
toxic doses of mercury in the treatment of venereal diseases."
. . .
"By the time he was
29, Hahnemann decided that the best option for his patients
was to simply let them heal on their own, rather than to
administer the standard treatments. He became an outspoken
proponent of natural healing techniques such as the adoption
of a proper diet, the employment of good hygiene, and the
improvement of poor living conditions - all common sense
today, but not at the time. Pastuer's germ theory and antiseptic
surgery were not to be discovered for another 80 years.
Hahnemann soon gained a reputation as a dietician and wrote
publicly about the importance of hygiene. This technique
of cure came to be called "Hahnemann's Method"
- long before his discovery of homeopathy. Hahnemann also
became a proponent of the humane treatment of the insane,
who were handled with utter brutality in that period."
"By 1790, at the age
of 35, Hahnemann had grown so disgusted with the methods
of medical practice of his time that he completely gave
up practicing medicine altogether. . . Once Hahnemann gave
up practicing medicine, he soon became well known for his
translation of a number of important medical and scientific
texts. His translations were unique and sought after because
he often added his own opinions and suggestions as footnotes.
Throughout this period he also kept searching for a better
method of healing - a system of medicine that made sense
to him and worked in practice."
"Luckily, fate was soon
to catch up with Hahnemann when he translated the Treatise
on Materia Medica, by William Cullen, a professor of medicine
at the University of Edinburgh. Cullen described the use
of Peruvian bark for Malaria. This bark, also called cinchona
or china , was a wonder drug of the 18 th century. It is
the source of quinine, a primary treatment for malaria to
this day. Cullen's explanation for the successful action
of cinchona was that it had a tonic effect on the stomach.
But this did not make sense to Hahnemann. An avid student
of Hippocrates, whose dietary, hygienic, and observational
recommendations he had taken so seriously, Hahnemann was
also aware of Hippocrates' statement that cure could be
achieved in one of two ways: through the action of "opposites"
( i.e.. Using a medicine that creates the opposite effect
of the patient's symptoms) or through the action of "similars"
(using a medicine that creates the same symptoms experienced
by the patient)."
"Armed with Hippocrates'
hypothesis, Hahnemann decided to put cinchona to the test.
He systematically took overdoses of the drug and noted the
results. He described these as follows:
"I took, for several
days, as an experiment, four drams of good china twice daily.
My feet and finger tips etc., at first became cold; I became
languid and drowsy; then my heart began to palpitate; an
intolerable anxiety and trembling (but without rigor (fever);
prostration in all the limbs; then pulsation in the head,
redness of the cheeks, thirst; briefly, all the symptoms
usually associated with intermittent fever (malaria) appeared
in succession, yet without the actual rigor. . . . This
paroxysm lasted from two to three hours every time, and
recurred when I repeated the dose and not otherwise. I discontinued
the medicine and I was once more in good health." (Haehl,
pg. 37)
"This experience supplied
a flash of insight to Hahnemann. He saw in it the potential
for a general principle of cure - a medicinal law that always
applied and worked, rather than a theory about how the body
functioned or about a particular drug. This principle would
become known as the Law of Similars. It states that,
A substance that causes,
in a healthy person, symptoms similar to those of a disease
state, can cure a sick person in that disease state.
"In Latin this principle
is written similia similibus curentur (i.e.., "let
likes be cured by likes"). Thus, just as cincona caused
the symptoms of malaria in the healthy Dr. Hahnemann ( note:
it did not cause malaria itself), cinchona could also cure
a person afflicted with malaria.
"Of course, Hahnemann
wasn't the first to use this principle; Hippocrates himself
had suggested it. Paracelsus, a renowned medieval alchemist
and doctor, was also known to have achieved cure through
the use of similars. In Hahnemann's own time, the writings
of Antoon de Hahn (another puil of Boerhaave) and a Danish
professor, Georg Stahl, also emphasized the utility of this
principle. Hahnemann, however, unlike the others, decided
to put the idea to a full test and explore its limits. It
became his life's work and the central tenet of his method
of healing, which he called " homeopathy" (now
typically shortened to homeopathy) - 'similar suffering'."

Reconnective
Therapy
is a way for us to connect to our Energy Bodies. And our
energy bodies are basically higher aspects of ourselves.
It is our True Essence.
Our energy body has a distinct anatomy. It holds all of
the information for our body shape, structure and function.
It holds our feelings, thoughts, memories and all of our
experiences, past, present and future. All of our higher
aspects that are not yet connected to our physical bodies
are held here. It is somewhat complex. Herwig Schoen describes
it as the “new energy body”. It goes beyond
what we have come to know as the 7 chakra system. It actually
has 7 centers, each with 7 frequencies . (Look for further
information in Herwig Schoen’s book “Reconnective
Therapy, A New Paradigm of Healing“)
RCT’s
purpose is to communicate the information in our energy
body to our physical bodies and minds. This in turn, facilitates
greater healing in our emotional, mental and physical body
as well as raises our vibrational frequency.
We
come from Oneness . . . God . . . Source Energy. Beyond
our structures of perception, dimensions do not exist. When
we arrived here on earth our perception is that we are confined/defined
by a 3 dimensional reality, and therefore see ourselves
as separate from Unity . . . Separate from Oneness . . .
Separate from God. And the thought of separateness lowers
our frequency . . . And we split. The split is between who
we really are, and who we think we are. And every thought
that we have that is not in alignment with who we really
are splits us further. Look at it this way. We are each
Love in our true essence. Every decision we make, every
action we take that is not Love, but is separateness, splits
us into a parallel reality. The one in which we are Love
and the one in which we are Separate. With the healing process
(the raising of our frequency) all of these parallel realities,
all of these lives of separateness, begin to merge back
together. We become more integrated and whole, and symptoms
that we experience in our bodies start to drop away one
by one.
RCT
is a source or tool that enables us to connect back to our
true selves. It is a tool that “connects higher aspects
of ourselves into our bodies in a very specific way that
helps us to reconnect with who we really are. This will
happen at some point anyway, but RCT is a way to speed up
the process tremendously.” (Herwig Schoen)
And when it does happen, we become more fully present and
powerful in our lives.
