The Organon of the Medical Art written by Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) is a creative document that applies to today’s health and well-being as it did in his lifetime. This article will cover the meaning he gave to the ‘spiritual vital force’. This vital force dominates and controls the body it occupies. There is the common assumption that the physical body is primary and its existence, and that of the brain, is what brings about consciousness. Hahnemann’s model is the exact opposite. According to him, it is not just that the body, itself, is an inactive “instrument” as he calls it, he calls it “living, healthy instrument”, but that the “spirit-like life force” is totally in charge, then we have a completely different view of reality. He refers to the life force as an “autocracy”, the dictionary defining the word as “absolute power, totalitarianism, dictatorship, …”

World Homeopathy Awareness Week is celebrated from the 10th-16th April annually. Organised by the World Homeopathy Awareness Organisation, the week is a celebration of both homeopaths and those who have been healed with homeopathy. The primary goals of World Homeopathy Awareness Week are to raise public awareness of homoeopathy and improve accessibility to homeopathy. Bill Grannell(Hpathy April 2023)
How it all began! Happy 22nd Birthday – A Promise of Health Humans are creatures of habit. We generally, but not always, like a routine. Comfort often comes from knowing the things we depend upon will be here tomorrow. In our lives, though we have experienced a lot of change, sometimes just thinking about what it might bring can make us pretty nervous. But experience also teaches us that often, the changes we worry about most, seldom turn out quite as dire as we imagined. Thankfully, this is not a story of what we worry about. Instead, it is a story how one person sought to solve a problem with change and how her grand idea inspired so many of us to help make that change. A change that brings new hope to thousands of the forgotten, hopefully for decades to come! Cathy Lemmon (Hpathy April 2023)
The Merck Manual Home Health Handbook (© 2009) presents the idea that disease-causing agents are “invaders” of the body. As with most conventional medical texts, this book seems to prefer referencing these items using terminology that can incite fear and a desire for aggression towards these “invaders”. This is fine, as the conventional idea envelopes the idea of fighting off disease. Even the founder of homeopathy himself, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), referred to sometimes “murderous”4 substances that can cause illness to come upon the body. However, he was very clear in how these are most appropriately viewed – that illness was not caused by something outside the body. Rather, the body will present symptoms commensurate with its susceptibility to what these agents present and how receptive to these our bodies are. Homeopath Edel Bolger O’Hora (September 2022)
Spiritual homeopathy combines the healing power of homeopathic medicine with a penetrating understanding of the subtle energy bodies in the Human Energy System. These bodies contain our life force, desires and aversions and the soul forces that determine our karma and destiny. They form the context in which we live our lives, either by being balanced and open to life or by being closed and contracted. The etheric body is the subtle body which contains the regenerative life principles that stimulate physical and emotional development; the astral body holds our spirit’s longings and desires and our mentality while the Egoic field showcases our individuality and sense of freedom which allows our soul to flourish. |
