SOUL EMERGING
– Meeting Serious Mental and Spiritual Challenges with Homeopathy –
In traditional indigenous cultures, when people undergo trauma such as abuse, loss of a loved one, life-threatening illness, accidents, addiction etc, they are considered to have lost a part of their essential nature, their “soul”. Non-ordinary states of consciousness such as voice hearing, vision seeing, depersonalisation, dissociation, anxiety and depression commonly follow this loss.
In these cultures, the ability to experience such states is often considered to be initiatory, a “blessing”, a sign that the “patient” has now access to a deeper state of aliveness. When actively supported by the community and its healers the “patient” is primed for a potential new role in his/her community and a new spiritual emergence.
In contrast, current Western medical practice has pathologised and medicated these states, the patients afflicted left carrying a terrible stigma and often isolated from their families and community.
In this seminar, Declan Hammond will present an alternative view of “madness”. He will present cases and experiences from his practice where patients have been treated with a unique synthesis of traditional healing techniques and innovative use of “new” and “old” homeopathic medicines. By recovering the parts of their psyche that they had lost, these patients have been able to transform their experience of “madness” into journeys of self-discovery and deep healing; their challenging experiences of non-ordinary consciousness into new levels of awareness and spiritual awakening.
Declan Hammond is co-founder and former director of The Irish School of Homeopathy, a homeopath, transpersonal therapist and shamanic practitioner. His life and work have been a passionate search for the most effective healing tools for himself and his patients. This journey has taken him all over the globe studying Eastern and Western approaches to healing, tantra yoga and traditional shamanic healing practices. Declan has developed a unique synthesis of these ancient and modern healing techniques and works with individuals and groups to empower deep personal growth, healing and spiritual transformation.Declan has a huge passion for teaching, sharing his experiences and skills. He began teaching shortly after he started practicing, first in Denmark, then in India and the Far East.
