"The level is more important than the kingdom!" (Bhawisha Joshi)

For a long time the research interest of the internationally renowned lecturers Dr. Bhawisha Joshi and Dr. Shachindra Joshi has been the question of how different approaches of finding a remedy (Sankaran, Scholten, etc.) could be combined into a clear and coherent system.

In more than 20 years of work they've recognized a distinct, universal and simultaneously similar development pattern which can be applied to each substantial kingdom (animals, plants, minerals, nosodes etc.). This pattern forms a matrix of seven levels based on the rows (series) of the periodic table of elements (PSE). They correspond to the developmental stages of humans and to the Indian chakras, their associated glands and qualities.

The model follows a spiral course, which means the developmental cycle starts all over again on each higher level. Therefore, a person who needs a homeopathic mineral for some time might later in life require a remedy from another kingdom.

In their second Berlin seminar Joshi & Joshi demonstrate the efficiency of their model by examples from the kingdoms of invertebrate marine animals (molluscs, cephalopods, sponges etc.) and birds (especially songbirds). The lecturers provide both a thorough overview of the characteristics and themes of these groups and introductions to their individual representatives.

The seminar focuses mainly on animal remedies covering the second and fourth level. They include invertebrates (molluscs, sponges and cnidarians), among them virtually unknown remedies such as the sea anemone (Stichodactyla mertensii) or the round clam (Venus mercenaria). Being rather primitive, those low developed forms of life correspond to the 2nd level and are characterized by fragility, vulnerability and dependence.

The second part of the seminar comprises starling birds (passerines), especially songbirds (passeri) and tyranni, which have hardly been used in homeopathy yet. Songbirds usually live in groups and care for, feed and protect their chicks. They communicate a lot in their own melodies. A desire for understanding and belonging to a group as well as a need for identity are important issues of songbird remedies.

They should be considered in differential diagnosis if phosphorus or sulfur are coming to our mind due to the patient's friendly openness, liveliness and enthusiasm. A strong desire for freedom and space and a fear of constriction and suffocation can also remind of phosphorus, optionally suggesting a bird remedy.

By seven interesting cases, including a live consultation, Joshi & Joshi demonstrate their practical treatment of patients, making their typical interview technique and analytical approach easily comprehensible. The spotlight lies most on the patient´s individual manner of expression, his implicit pattern and basic sensation and his recurrent themes. Not only do those aspects provide vital clues to the relevant level, but also to the kingdom of the appropriate remedy.

Based on the seven levels model Bhawisha and Shachindra Joshi provide a convincing classification scheme which is both easy to learn and to apply, promising an accurate and substantiated route to finding the simile. Even previously unknown remedies can turn out to be the best fitting medication.

A vivid journey through the kingdoms of the sea and the sky conveying the complex system of homeopathy to the periodic table in a comprehensible way.
