Why Do I Love Teaching At The College of Visionary Homeopathy?

12/14/2015

"Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. You are all learners, doer, teachers."
Richard Bach, Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah

Driving back from Bexhill on Saturday I was asking myself this very question. I teach (or remind) at three homeopathic colleges and I enjoy them all. Each has its own flavour and culture, and I was beginning to be able to define what it is that makes Val Lawrence’s college a joy to teach at.

Small is beautiful
It is a small and friendly yet focused college, where the students can benefit from the high level of input they receive from all the tutors. Homeopathy is fascinating and the small year groups mean that we as teachers can make sure the students understand and can then build upon each subject as it is covered. We can tailor the content, with time for questions and discussion whilst keeping on track.
The student’s practical experience is supervised at the college weekends so that they can learn and prescribe in a very supported way that enables them to gain solid experience and confidence before they graduate.
The atmosphere that this generates is very positive - creating and holding a learning space.

Beyond the basics
The timetable covers homeopathic philosophy and remedies, holistic anatomy and physiology, case taking skills – all of which are core subjects. And yet there is so much more to being a homeopath than just the academic theory.
At the college Val has ensured that the students are given the opportunity to learn how to be a practitioner in the fullest sense. The counselling and communication skills, the ability to manage their practice and the ongoing personal development that enables growth as individuals and professionals.
I enjoy teaching about menopause and the “Heroine’s Journey” some women may find themselves undertaking, helping patients with high blood pressure and cholesterol, discussing remedy profiles and all the practical aspects of our work in helping patients. But alongside those key areas, it is also a delight to spend time exploring relevant and powerful areas of personal and professional development - as we did this weekend.
On the Saturday afternoon we worked through frameworks that gave insights into the beliefs and patterns we have as individuals. What assumptions we make, the limiting beliefs we hold about ourselves and others and how to become more aware of these often invisible filters we view the world through.
As practitioners this is essential work, and sometimes overlooked as we cover the vast breadth and depth of our homeopathic world. And yet, if we do not understand more of our inner landscape we can limit our effectiveness in applying this elegant and kind system of medicine.
We need to understand what is “our stuff” and “your stuff” so that as we sit with our patients we can do so through clear unprejudiced and non-judgemental filters. Allowing ourselves to be truly present for the person who has come to us for help and support.
We all benefit from moving beyond the patterns and beliefs that keep us in the dark.

I love light bulb moments!
Some years ago I added NLP (neuro linguistic programming), coaching and hypnotherapy to my homeopathy practice portfolio so that I could offer patients more support in healing and moving forward in their lives. I love watching the light bulb moments as patients make connections about their lives – witnessing this is one of the great privileges of the work we do as practitioners.
It is also wonderful when one sees this happening for students, and we do.
The smaller groups help but for me personally, it is also because the college’s approach gives me the opportunity to draw on more of my skills as a teacher to remind the students how much they already know.

An End And A Beginning

Super Self Confidence Boost!
Sunday 12th July - the day I finally finished my homeopathic training with membership of the College of Visionary Homeopathy! I can scare believe it! 4 years of hard but enthralling learning - in December 2014 I received my Licence and now I have membership - I am really proud of myself! My euphoria is also due to the fact that I am an older student and was sought out to do the training - more than anything this means the most to me - that I was asked! - Super self-confidence boost!

Support And Encouragement
I spent the best part of 3 yrs at a different college and enjoyed them but just before I got my licence I transferred to the college of Visionary Homeopathy - Val Lawrence the principle of CVH had been a tutor and principle of the previous one I was with and she helped me through - her trust and belief in me cannot be measured. All of the four years have been extremely hard for me as my personal life became more traumatic as the years progressed but I was always given massive support and encouragement which continued when I transferred.

Positive and Relaxed College
This last year has been so enjoyable - the atmosphere and the energy of this college is so positive and yet relaxed with much laughter and caring as well as the quality and content of the tuition being superb. All the tutors at the college have been amazing and our tutorials interesting and fascinating.

Worth the Hard Work to Achieve My Goal
The training has also been a huge personal learning curve, I am a different person to the one who started - now able to accept that I am worthy of my achievement - I am so delighted I was able to achieve my goal. It has been very hard work and a huge commitment but so worth it. Now I have to start being the best homeopath I can possibly be in return for such trust - it is a daunting but exciting prospect and one which 4 yrs ago I would have thought beyond my ability but now I know it is not. Whatever the future holds this experience has enhanced every aspect of my own self and my life.

So thank you everyone who supported me on this journey!

Last But One

The healing space
We have just completed our penultimate study weekend for this year; I can hardly believe that I am nearly through a whole year of study at College. It was a terrific weekend and we enjoyed sessions with Lynne Russell, Val Lawrence and Kyriacos Hajikakou. Lynne started us off with “The Nature of the Healing Space”. An interesting concept, difficult to define and to create, but Lynne gave me confidence that, with time and practice, it will begin to be a natural process. From seeing clients for my case studies, I also am aware that something quite magical happens when you sit with your client and listen to their story; it seems as though (ideally) remedies begin to unfold in front of you. We started the class with a poem by Rudyard Kipling, something I had never heard before, and it led us on to discussion, definitions and questions. Questions to ask ourselves so that we are more self- aware, questions to ask our clients, and how to frame those questions differently depending on the client. Fantastic pointers to creating a comfortable, compassionate and professional space for our clients, where we can support our clients energetically and gather the information we need to prescribe appropriately, the nature of the healing space.

Phosphorus is a Greek word
Phosphorus is a word of Greek origin via Latin and it means the Bringer of Light (phōs light and pherein to bring) or Morning Star. This was our first remedy for the weekend and I was particularly looking forward to learning about it. We heard Lynne describe how it is always combined in nature and this made complete sense as the remedy unfolded. We heard how Phosphorus loves company, is sociable and loves to be loved, a butterfly in social situations; it is a spontaneous remedy but lacks boundaries, and the physical issues include sugar imbalance, nosebleeds and haemorrhages, allergies, ME and MS. Phosphorus was used to make matches until the early 19002 and, unsurprisingly, Phosphorus has high energy but then burns out – if you think of a match striking that’s exactly what happens. The pains are burning and those in a Phosphorus state can feel spacey. Match makers used to get a disease in their jaw-bone from the Phosphorus known as “phossy jaw” and the remedy has an affinity for bones and blood. I took Phosphorus when I was younger and I can see exactly why it was prescribed for me at that time, I was exhausted (burn-out) and hypoglycaemic (sugar imbalance), picked up on the emotions of those around me (boundaries/reactive/sensitive) and couldn’t determine which emotions were mine, and my favourite thing was meeting new people but I was miserable because I didn’t have the energy to socialise.

Kidneys not just little filters
I am still surprised at how interesting I find our Anatomy & Physiology, and Pathology classes. Kyriacos delivers his subjects with panache and whereas it could be dry he turns it into something fascinating and astonishing! Many years ago, I studied Human Biology at O Level, but I am beginning to understand so much more now than I did that I can hardly believe I learnt anything then. I am also enjoying the process of learning as it all falls into place. Kidneys, well yes, they filter and process stuff and waste water goes from the kidneys to the bladder, but they are constantly performing checks and balances, conserving water, removing excess salt and generally filtering all the waste products of metabolism, generally key to maintaining homeostasis. Did you know that the left kidney is slightly higher than the right kidney? It is those little anatomical details that always catch my attention. In Pathology we have started to look at respiration, in the human embryo the lungs develop from gut tissue and then move upwards! It’s not all dry facts and figures, Kyriacos has a gift for weaving a story with information about form, function, disease, language, origins of words and mythology, which really holds your attention.

Uneasy relationships
I confess to sometimes having had an uneasy relationship with homework and the rather archaic language of some reference books, the Repertory and Materia Medica. Briefly, I really struggled, to the point of resentment, with the old fashioned language that many of the reference books are written in. It suddenly began to feel pointless having to wrestle with archaic language. I longed for the ease of familiar words and modern writing and found it difficult to phrase symptoms in ways that matched the Repertory. However, thankfully those feelings passed quite quickly and I realised I had got rather intense about everything! And homework, I can be disciplined, but there are days when it really is best to do something other than study or homework, the inspiration isn’t there and the work doesn’t flow or feel good. I have also learnt what I use to divert myself, for example I begin tidying or dusting, I am tidy but dust rarely, so it’s always a clue when I get a duster out! I also know that, no surprises, I should never log on to Facebook or emails before I start my studies, both complete diversions. I had a chat with Val Lawrence, my course tutor, about homework and grades this past weekend and the requirement to move into the next year of study is 85% pass rate on homework, which I can achieve despite occasional lapses. Val was also able to reassure me that there really are times when it is best not to attempt homework!

Passion
When I look back over the past nine months, the thing that lights up my first year at CVH is passion; the tutors are all passionate about homeopathy, they love the discipline, or art, of homeopathy, sharing their knowledge of the remedies and how they have used them in practice. They all respect the homeopathic traditions and teachings of Hahnemann and the others who developed his teachings; they also continue to grow and develop in their own practise and are excited about new remedies and developments. There is also the passion that I have discovered in students who are more experienced than me, one of whom has recently graduated. They are excited about homeopathy and it has clearly become an important part of their everyday lives. Looking around me at the people involved with the College, I can see that homeopathy is clearly something that gets under your skin and it continues to expand and motivate those who are involved with it. I love our weekends at College, I am interested in all the different subjects we cover, and every new remedy that is presented. It is inspirational being around people who are doing what they love and passing on their knowledge to students like me, who are new to homeopathy.

SILICA

ITS EVERYWHERE
Silica is a mineral from which much of the Earth is made, the source in homeopathy being pure flint. Not only is it found throughout the Earth's crust, it is also found in many sea creatures and most plants. Indeed, it is the Silica in the stem of straw that makes it go rigid. Silica has a close relationship to Sulphur, Calc Carb and Lycopodium.

SLOW TO DEVELOP
The action of Silica is slow. In the proving it takes a long time to develop the symptoms. Therefore it is suited to symptoms that develop slowly. Silica is often used to treat symptoms of chronic diseases where there is a general weakness and a lack of either physical or emotional strength. The rocks that Silica comes from are hard and compact. Silica is used to strengthen many parts of the body and impart to them Silica's hard, dense and strong characteristics.

THE MIND, THE HAVEN
The world of the mind is the world of the Silica Type. It is his haven – safe and secure. Silica types become scientists, astro-phycisists, cosmologists, astronomers, paleo-anthropologists, archeologists and mathematicians. However, unlike Sulphur and Lycopodium they usually possess a wonderful balance between right and left cerebral activity and, like Isaac Newton, one of the last of the mystic scientists, they are able to perceive the majesty of creation, in all its scientific detail, and still retain a reverence for God and belief in the spiritual destiny of man.

INFINITESIMAL AND FINE CHISELLING
The Silica mind is fascinated by the infinitesimal, the distant past and the remote future. Silicas can spend hours, days and months fine chiselling and brushing a fragment of fossilised bone out of its encasing rock with infinite patience and loving care. One characteristic of Silica is devotion to the finest detail. They obsess about small details to the point of exhaustion because they fear failure and being hurt. They may compensate for their lack of physical prowess and stamina by developing their mental abilities and knowledge. They earn their laurels by intellectual feats. These people are often intellectually bright but lack confidence. Many "nerds" and "boffins" are Silicas. Though reserved and lacking self-confidence they are very determined and focused. They study and they over study. They are admired for their intellect and this gives them the confidence they lack.

TIMID AND WILFUL
These people are happy to sit and take no action. They tend to be shy and have good manners but they are also wilful to the point of resenting any other outside interference. Silicas are honest, sincere and open. Initially they are often timid, hesitant and indecisive and are easily influenced and persuaded by others. But as they develop and mature, constantly learning from experience and forming their own beliefs, morals, values and opinions, and gain strength and resolve. Once established their convictions are steadfast and they can be extremely obstinate and unyielding on matters of principle.

A Typical Sepia Family........

5/14/2015

1 Comment

When we were learning about Sepia, I had one of those lightbulb moments, as you will understand, the whole remedy picture began to ring bells.

A Strong Working Class Woman
My great grandmother, a strong working class woman, was very bright but she had 8 children. She was born in the countryside at a time when she had no choice about education, she left school aged about 12, went into service and then got married to a farm labourer. She wouldn't have had much choice about how many children she had, reputedly great with figures, if she had been born now she could have been an accountant or at least made a good living.

Exhausted
Having 8 children clearly left her exhausted and my grandmother, the eldest, was left to look after them while she, Grandma Marchant, sat at the table reading her books, completely disinterested. My grandma was left with a determination not to have more than two children; she was also bright and always resentful that she had to leave school at 13 to look after her younger brothers and sisters. Grandma went into service before the first world war, first in Eastbourne, then nearer home in Goudhurst. She met my grandad, a shepherd and farm labourer, but wouldn't marry him until they had saved enough to rent a home. Grandma knew that living in a farm cottage tied to his job left them vulnerable.

Irritable and Sharp
Eventually they married in 1927, my grandad was a gentle man who loved the animals he looked after, and during the war had gone to France to help look after the horses. My Grandma was kind too, but could be irritable and very sharp, she didn't mince her words and had no patience with us as little children! She had her two children, my mum and her brother, eventually Grandad and her bought their own home, quite remarkable for people of their class at that time.

Hormonal
My mum also married late, aged 30, had terrible hormonal problems and was always low in energy, she was clever with words and was always doing crosswords and word puzzles. She had lost a baby and there were just the two of us girls. Now I think about it, she hated housework and cooking; she was often irritable with us, especially if we were in the kitchen with her. She always needed to sleep every afternoon, which I think was an escape for her as well as physically needing to nap.

Contraceptive Pill
From a very young age I was determined not to be married, I didn't want to pick up after someone else or wash their socks, goodness knows where I got that view of marriage! I passed the 11+ and went to Grammar School, my grandma was delighted that I seemed to be doing so well at school, I still chose to leave at 16 as I wanted to get out into the world and earn some money. I decided not to have children because I thought life looked too exciting, a choice definitely not open to my great grandma. I had terrible period pain and was put on the pill to help with the pain and for contraception. That left me with even worse hormonal problems and emotions that were completely out of balance. I was left with as many hormonal problems from my lifestyle as my great grandmother had from having 8 children!

Uterine Remedy
Sepia is made from Cuttle fish ink; think of the shape of the Cuttle fish and then think of what part of a woman's body it reminds you of, straight away you will begin to understand the remedy. It is very similar in shape to the uterus, which gives us the clue that it is a major hormonal remedy for women of all ages.

Worn Down
It is indicated for problems with the endocrine system, pregnancy, puberty, childbirth, menopause, the digestive tract, female pelvic organs and emotions. A remedy where the picture is of someone worn down from childbirth, caring duties, overwork, just giving too much and not having the time to do things that they love. They get more and more tired and irritiable, not to mention exhausted and in a cycle from which there appears to be no escape. The Sepia person may be highly intellectual with no children but a working life that is demanding, however this has the same effect as having too large a family.

Indifferent
Sepia people become soooooo tired that they want to shake their children, or they make caustic, nasty remarks when out of balance. If they get to this stage they may stop altogether and become apathetic, depressed and indifferent to their family; they look lazy, but they are just completely done in.

Dragged down
Physically they have the feeling of dragging down and low energy runs through this remedy. Muscles may be lax and there may be prolapses. There might be poor circulation, and limbs going to sleep easily, weakness in the small of the back. Herpes comes into the picture and warts. In men there may be penile warts and cold sexual organs – its not just a woman's remedy.

Loves to Dance
Sepia will be worse after housework, worse on the left side and with dampness and cold air. However, Sepia loves the joy and release of dance, and loves to eat pickles!

Homeopathy-how I Started

5/10/2015

4 Comments

Where did it all start, this fascination with energy work? I couldn’t exactly say, but I have always been interested in health; my mother had acupuncture and was always open to “alternatives”. I always wanted everyone to be well but I definitely didn’t want to be a nurse and look after people so I trained as a medical secretary, which felt like the best option!

Psychic awareness
I started work for the NHS locally then moved to London where I began temping in the business sector to broaden my skills and earn more money. I worked in some amazing organisations with great people and I was working for Shell when I met someone who was interested in psychic development. She introduced me to the College of Psychic Studies and we went for readings, she also introduced me to the Barbara Brennan books. Life was opening up in new ways.

Saudi Arabia
In the late 80s I was bored and needed a new challenge, so I applied for a job in the Middle East. It wasn’t long before I was flying off to Saudi Arabia, quite a change from my life in London! Initially, I found the restrictions difficult to cope with but I felt welcomed. My friends and colleagues lived from their hearts rather than their heads, they were warm hearted and generous, there was also a lot of laughter. Saudi Arabia became my home and gave me the opportunity to question my own narrow western perspective and assumptions.

From predictable to change
The days settled into a predictable rhythm, punctuated by the sound of the call to prayer. Then came the first Gulf War and there was fear of invasion, or attack by poison gas. Saddam Hussain’s army set fire to the oil fields in Kuwait as they were retreating and for a while we lived under a pall of black smoke, everything was covered with an oily film. The situation settled and I stayed for another few years. Someone bought me a copy of You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay, a book that shows you how to begin to make changes in very simple terms.

Exhaustion
On my return to the UK my health was poor and I suffered from exhaustion. It was difficult to readjust to the UK, the energy felt flat and I was homesick for Arabia. Searching for ways to improve my health, I had regular massage and one day tried someone different, I could feel energy running from her hands; I asked her what it was, she told me about Reiki and I soon did the Level 1 Attunement. I still needed something more and saw Val Lawrence for my first experience of homeopathy. The little pills were suffused with magic and I didn’t need to understand how or why they worked because I knew that they had a profound effect!

Passion
During that time I became passionate about energy work and complementary medicine. I became a Reiki Master and was attuned to another amazing energy healing system, Zimbate. I read all the books I could lay my hands on by authors such as Wayne Dyer, Andrew Harvey and Gregg Braden. I attended meditation classes, self-development workshops, Tai Chi, and people came to me for Reiki and Zimbate. All the time I was searching for a way to live that was in balance and more connected to all of life. I met wonderful people who were all passionate about the same things that I was discovering, it was an exciting and expansive time.

Homeopath
Fast forward 15 years, whilst caring for my mother who had vascular dementia I decided to find a homeopath. I didn’t know if Val was still working but opened Yellow Pages on the very page with her name on it. I went back to Val and she still had my notes from all those years ago. Caring for mum was difficult and heart wrenching, but it taught me about love and life, one of the most important things I learnt was to be completely in the moment with her. I constantly used energy work and homeopathy with mum to help keep her well and in her own home; her faith was important to her too and the energy she received with Communion made her shine.

Everything fell into place
Mum died in 2013 and I went back to office work, I knew it had become critical for me to find a different way to work, but how? Quite by “chance” I had a conversation with Val and discovered that she was planning to run the Foundation year in Homeopathy in Bexhill. We had a long chat, during which I found reasons why I wouldn’t be able to join the course, all red herrings, because I actually felt very excited by the idea! Everything fell into place and I started the course in October at the College of Visionary Homeopathy. I have moments of self-doubt and still work part-time, but life feels very different as it opens up again with the possibility of a new working life at the end of my studies completely in tune with my beliefs. I feel as though I am in the right place and that the whole of my life has been leading me to Homeopathy.

LEARNING AGAIN

11/17/2014

0 Comments

The day couldn't have started better, some lovely texts from friends and family wishing me well, beautiful sunshine and a typical autumn day with the leaves on the trees just beginning to turn. I was excited and slightly anxious about learning again, but enjoyed my drive to Bexhill and was keen to get started.

ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY – A SURPRISE ....

It was great to meet the other students and we settled in to enjoy Anatomy & Physiology with Kyriacos Hajikakou. Yes, that's right I did say enjoy! This wasn’t the dry subject I had previously experienced, but something completely new and exciting because of the way that Kyriacos teaches. He has such great enthusiasm for, and knowledge of, his subject that the time sped by and I felt inspired and keen to learn more. His approach is unique and pulls together A&P, mythology, and the different approaches taken by Eastern and Western forms of medicine.

THEORY & PRACTICE

We covered some theory with Sue Josling, including the difference between chronic and acute cases and the law of similars and proving. We discussed several remedies, Belladonna, Aconite and Arnica; Sue’s deep understanding and knowledge of homeopathy shone through as she used her experience of treating cases in her own practice to illustrate and bring to life the use of the remedies we were discussing. I was delighted to realise that we were discussing the practice of homeopathy and the reality of becoming homeopaths, this wasn’t just theory.

VISUALS HELP ME REMEMBER

Val Lawrence delivered a double session on cell salts, their chemical make-up and application in supporting the systems of the body, another exciting session as they are very familiar to me, but so much more to them than I had realised; my family have been using them for years and I have some in my bathroom cabinet. Then we looked at Calc Carb, what a huge remedy but taught with some visuals that will help me remember! Val also taught a class about methods, the different approaches to homeopathy, sounds dry, it wasn’t! Val’s passion for her subject and her desire to teach her students to a high standard meant that it was a great session.

LOOKING FOR MY FIRST CASE

I feel I have found the right college to study an exciting subject. I left the weekend with my head crammed full of new information and tired but in a good way! I like that we are already being encouraged to think of ourselves, once qualified, as professionals who will be working alongside doctors and other medical professionals; to me this sets an expectation of high standards for the course. I love that we are already talking about practical homeopathy and we will be taking our first cases, under supervision, in the not too distant future. Anyone interested in being one of my first cases?

New Beginnings

9/28/2014

Finally, after the idea hovering around in my head, and my heart, for several years, the decision has been made and I have signed up for the Foundation year to study Homeopathy at the College of Visionary Homeopathy (CVH) in Bexhill.

From idea to reality

Two weeks ago it was just an idea and now it is a reality; I couldn't be more excited! I am passionate about energy work and always turn to homeopathy, acupuncture or EFT as the first port of call whenever something in my life is out of balance. Over the last 18 months I have been feeling unsettled and disappointed with my working life, frustrated and ready to study something new but concerned about how I would support myself. Then I had a conversation with Val Lawrence, my homeopath over many years, which shifted everything and made my decision easy.

Fits into my lifestyle

The course is one weekend a month, starting in October, which means that I can continue my usual work pattern. With approximately 15 hours homework a month thats really achievable for me. I am already longing to get started and have been looking online at some of the terms that are used in homeopathy, such as the Organon and nosodes, and also reading posts about remedies. I have always found it fascinating and I know that it works.

Homeopathy is not static

One of the most exciting thing about homeopathy is that it grows and develops, its not static; there are new remedies being developed all the time and CVH training includes these new remedies. As we evolve as a species and need different remedies we will develop them – and even more exciting, eventually I could be part of that development!

Capacity to study

I have some anxiety about my capacity to study, its been a long time since I studied anything, and this course will be a stretch for me I think, but I know the tutors will have the same passion for their subject that Val, the College principal, has and will want to support and develop their students. So, passion for the subject, alongside good teaching, I hope will see me through the Foundation year into the 2 year professional practitioner course.

Everything has changed in the last two weeks, I feel as though everything is falling into place to enable me to study and I am grateful that it is possible.
