Embracing the Sacred Masculine
SUMMARY: The development of conventional male role models, associated with the suppression of feelings and a tendency to aggression and violence, is illustrated with three case histories. The patients are suffering from anxiety, depression or addiction and they report their experience of violence, shame, guilt, self-hate and fear of failure. During treatment with potentised tobacco, they go through painful processes of recognition, often with lucid dreams that help them develop a more mature self-consciousness with increased softness and closeness. A central role in this process is played by empathic support. The author provides valuable information on this.
Embracing-The-Sacred-MasculineA Hole in the Chest
SUMMARY: With the example of a man who
feels the loss of his soul during long covid, it becomes
clear how a SARS-CoV-2 infection can exacerbate
latent, unsolved problems at the physical, emotional
and spiritual levels, bringing them to the surface
and thereby opening up a unique evolutionary
opportunity for deep healing. Based on his own
experience of the illness, the author describes
which healing themes are important from a
homeopathic point of view.
The Compassionate Search for the Lost Soul
The search for the lost soul: Addiction is rife in all parts of society. Some of these addictions are more socially acceptable than others. Every culture has its prejudices for and against certain substances and behaviours: Addicts everywhere are condemned for their refusal (or inability) to give up something deemed to be damaging to their own or other’s health while society as a whole shares the same blindness and rationalisations.

Death – The Final Frontier
My first encounters with dying patients were nervous, uncertain affairs. Unsure of my role as a homeopath and the needs of my patients, I let myself be guided by the demands of family members who wanted me to “do something” or by the requests of medical staff for “gentle medication”. I noticed that my responses to these demands were often clouded by my own unconscious feelings about death – my proximity to death seemed to highlight and amplify all my own fears, insecurities, and wounding. I realized that if I were to be of real service to my dying patients, I had to do some deep inner work to heal myself and find some new tools that were not to be found in my homeopathic texts.

Healing And Transformation Through Cancer
Being willing to stay in the presence of death, one’s own death, while we journey with our cancer patients, keeps the mind focused on the important parts of the journey ahead. It is the ultimate companion and one that keeps everything else in proportion.

The Death Of A Child – A Parent’s Choice For Life
When I finally returned to my homeopathic practice, I found that my experiences had blessed me with a new level of understanding and empathy for my patients. Not surprisingly, many new patients came to me dealing with the awful heartbreak of the loss of a child. These died through miscarriage, stillbirth, cot death, disease, accidents, drug overdoses, violence and suicide. But all had one thing in common, their parents felt that the pain was so overwhelming that they would not be able to survive it.

Kosmicare – A Safe Place for Difficult Experiences
My time with Kosmicare has been one of the most inspiring experiences of my professional life. My skills and abilities were well appreciated and used. Treating so many guests, who were prepared to trust and explore homeopathy, with often extraordinary results, inspired me immensely. And my ego was frequently humbled as I met my limitations and needed to ask and receive support from my colleagues. Working so closely together with so many highly skilled doctors, therapists and healers, in a spirit of love, cooperation and mutual respect has been truly extraordinary. Thank you Kosmicare!

Soul Loss And Recovery With Homeopathy
Although much of the language and concepts of our homeopathic ancestors, such as Hahnemann, need updating, the challenge inherent in his work resounds through the years. Hahnemann devoted his life to finding the most effective ways of using homeopathy, to heal the sick and to support them in their search for their “higher purpose’. His spirit calls out to us, challenges us to continue this search.
