Homeopathic Facial Analysis
Soul & Survival
Miasm: An underlying, inherited chronic disease pattern; the source of all chronic diseases that must be uprooted in order to thrive beyond chronic illness.
OR
Miasm: A divinely designed survival strategy that shows us how the body innately protects itself and restores harmony; we must work with our dominant Miasm to thrive beyond chronic illness.
Which idea feels more empowering?
Homeopathic Facial Analysis (HFA) is a method of case taking and prescribing a simillimum (the most similar homeopathic remedy), which was developed by Grant Bentley at the Victorian College of Classical Homeopathy (VCCH).
HFA is built on the foundations of classical homeopathy as well as the renewed concept of Miasms as survival strategies, or energetic defense mechanisms, that we can work with to strengthen vitality.
In this approach, the Miasm is not something to be eradicated; a homeopathic remedy can’t remove your dominant survival strategy. But it can catalyze harmony in your energy body so that you experience the positive aspects of this strategy.
In HFA, we prescribe a remedy not only based on the Totality of Symptoms but also on the dominant defense mechanism as determined by the facial structure. So we follow the Law of Similars, and the philosophy of Soul & Survival.
If HFA is a methodology, Soul & Survival is the philosophy behind HFA, and it’s fascinating. In short, it outlines the different survival strategies and how they function for us. The survival strategies in Soul & Survival correspond to the Miasms you may already be familiar with, but they’re designated by a color and described by the nature of their energy, or their force:
Blue = Syphilitic (Inward)
Red = Sycotic (Circular)
Yellow = Psoric (Outward)
Orange = Sycotic-Psoric (Circular & Outward)
Green = Tubercular (Outward & Inward)
Purple = Sycotic-Syphilitic (Circular & Inward)
Brown = Syphilitic-Sycotic-Psoric (Inward, Circular, and Outward)
I’ll continue to share about HFA and these survival strategies, as there is so much to know…Grant wrote a whole book on them!
I’m just starting to use HFA with my existing clients where their current remedy isn’t resonating as deeply as we’d like, and I’m so excited to see the results. If you’re interested in homeopathic support with this approach in mind let’s meet for an exploratory session.
More to come soon…
