To be held in Derby, West Midlands, UK

Masterclass – Monday 8th & Tuesday 9th May 2017
It is marvellous to have Dr Rajan Sankaran back with us again in this country, as he is constantly enhancing his teachings!
This seminar will be valuable for students as well as any level of practitioner. It is designed to increase our confidence in our system of medicine and also to introduce a comprehensive methodology that seamlessly blends the old and new approaches in homeopathy.
In the last 20 years we have seen a division of homeopathic practice into classical/traditional and contemporary/modern homeopathy.
The conventional side deals with symptoms whilst the modern side focuses more on the concepts, system and themes, which is more right sided thinking.
Over thirty-five years of clinical practice, Rajan has found that the best solution is to utilise both sides equally.
Dr Sankaran is thoroughly grounded in the foundations of traditional homeopathy (the Symptom Approach), but at the same time he pioneered the Sensation Method, which is a right-brained approach to cases and remedies (System Approach).
He strongly believes, though, that we homeopaths should use all the available methods and tools to choose the appropriate approach according to the patient.
If we can see the same case from multiple angles and still come to the same point, we can be sure of our prescription. Rajan calls this the Synergy Approach.
Synergy denotes the coming together of two or more things to create an effect that is much greater than the sum of the two. In homoeopathic practice, using two or more different approaches in tandem produces the best results. For us that means combing the Symptoms (traditional materia medica, provings, rubrics) and the System (sensation, kingdom, remedy source, miasm) with the Genius (the most essential nature and pattern of the remedy) to produce the Synergy. This allows for the greatest understanding of what is to be cured in disease, and what is curative in a remedy.
The theme of this seminar will be Exactness and Completeness, and how we need both of these to achieve success in our cases. As Dr. Sankaran says: One of the causes of our failure is suppositions, theories and prejudice.
We pick on one thing in the casetaking, do not go into its details, make assumptions and then fit the rest of the case into that idea, ignoring things that do not fit.
The solution is to look at each aspect of the case exactly and then look at all aspects of the case in detail.
We have to look at symptoms, system, genius; but all this needs to be done exactly and word for word.
For this we need to have the art of case taking as well as a good knowledge of our repertories, materia medica, sensation, kingdom and source, and use all of these in parallel and synergistically.
This will be illustrated through various video and paper cases, addressing various topics including:
- How to see various levels of experience in the patient
- How to use the approach according to levels of experience
- How to use Materia Medica and repertory in tandem
- How to dwell in the sensation or experience
- How to use different techniques in repertorisation including the fingerprint approach and sectoral totalities
- How to use source information
- How to use complementary healing methods (eg. meditation, music, diet)
- How to follow-up long term
- How to treat difficult pathologies
- How to treat children using Synergy
- How to sharpen skills of observation and case-taking
- How to use software to our advantage
- How to avoid pitfalls in case-taking and overcoming our prejudice
- How to identify the central and most important aspect of the case
- How to find the patterns and sensation
- How to translate all of the information gathered into remedy selection
- How to choose the remedy and potency according to level and pathology
During the seminar there will be time for discussion and to ask questions directly to Dr. Sankaran.
In the Masterclass Rajan will give further demonstration of the art of case-taking and the science of case evaluation in live patients brought by participants.
Also included is guidance in the use of MacRepertory and ReferenceWorks software and the sale of discounted software and books.
