The Chakras and New Discoveries in Autopathy

 Autopathy is a very young method and is still developing. This development has not come to an end and perhaps never will.

Administering  an autopathic preparation to the sixth chakra

Why do I regard saliva as the ideal material for dilution? It’s a very special liquid, which contains perfect information on the whole individual organism. That’s why, along with blood, it’s used in forensic medicine to identify people. But whereas after leaving the vascular system blood immediately alters its structure saliva never does. Unlike urine, saliva can leave the body entirely fresh just instants after being formed in the mouth. And above all, as I’ve already explained in my book “Autopathy: A Homeopathic Journey to Harmony”, saliva forms high up in a person’s fine-matter energy system, in the area between the fifth and sixth chakras. The system of fine-matter energy centres, the chakra, has been understood in India, Tibet and China since time immemorial. In Europe, however, this knowledge only arrived fairly recently, and it wasn’t until the second half of the 20th century that it entered general consciousness. While the lower chakras connect us to the earth and with those parts of nature at a lower level than humankind the higher chakras connect us with the more elevated states of the Universe. This is precisely where we find the fine-matter organisation system that is responsible for our health, and which we want to influence. Saliva, forming high in the system between the throat chakra and the chakra of the third eye and being most similarly tuned, has the greatest capacity to resonate with these higher states. That’s why, in a highly-diluted state, it works most effectively on a person if administered directly to the sixth, the highest bodily chakra (the seventh chakra is located outside the physical organism). Not to the mouth, but the skin of the forehead, above the bridge of the nose. On statues and pictures (for example of the Buddha) this place is often emphasised for its extraordinary importance. 

Following the practice currently applied in homeopathy I used to recommend only using the mouth (the vast majority of cases described in this book). But then I realised that in his book Organon, published at the beginning of the 19th century, the founder of homeopathy Samuel Hahnemann had himself declared in paragraphs 284 to 286 that for highly-diluted, potentised substances the “...skin of our body is suitable as a receptor...” As a homeopath I had much experience of the effect of homeopathic medicines on the skin. In my view and in line with the latest findings, administering fine-matter diluted saliva directly to the fine-matter energy centre, the sixth chakra, is a further practical contribution to this method and has been shown to be effective, even in cases which have “frozen” and refuse to develop, as the concluding descriptions confirm at the end of this article. It’s also emphasised  the basic fact that it   has a subtle influence on the spiritual organisation system, the “vital force” or “dynamis”.

Regular  repetition

In the last year we (I and some of my students) have adopted a new method for administering the preparation. It has worked in cases where the healing reaction was not so marked (either for some of the client’s symptoms or overall), due for example to a highly advanced, serious pathology or very strong conventional medication, or simply for unknown (why not just say karmic) reasons. I was inspired to use it by a homeopathic method often employed in India, where they like to repeat a potentised remedy frequently, at regular intervals, and especially for serious pathologies. It involves regularly repeating a certain potency and only occasionally increasing it and then only very finely.

Example: A client whose vitality corresponds to a potency of 3 l (120 C). I recommend her to prepare a preparation in this potency, but, after preparing it, instead of throwing the bottle away to put it back in the plastic bag and in the box. Once a week she should repeat the preparation in the same potency using the same bottle and wait for further instructions, for example for three months. Before storing the bottle she should shake it slightly so that not too much water remains inside. If she continues to repeat the preparation in this fashion she should exchange the bottle for a new one after three months. Generally, if the preparation is made frequently in the same bottle, after three months at the latest, it is necessary to replace the used bottle with a new one. Taken into account has to be the "memory of the glass" and that the "vibration picture" of our organism after a longer time gradually changes. When we mix the old picture with the new one, the "preparation" that was produced repeatedly in the same bottle loses gradually the similarity with the current state and with it also its effect that finally  disappears. Ideally a new bottle should be used in each application. This however could be too costly in some cases.

Following this approach I only increase the potency by one litre, and then only when it seems repeated use is causing the effect to weaken or, alternatively, that the organism has improved to such a degree that it’s possible to go higher. The interval between preparations depends on the state of the client. A very serious, life-threatening pathology, e.g. acute condition following a car crash, coma, may require a preparation to be administered every day or every second day. The same applies for an advanced stage of a life-threatening chronic pathology. Over time, as the situation improves, the intervals may be extended. Sometimes (for example after two or four months) we can increase the potency, usually by not more than one litre and always after using the same potency several times (or more). I refer here to the concluding descriptions in the chapter Brief case histories. With time the interval can be extended, for example to one month or more and the potency can be gradually increased to 1M. I currently have a successful ongoing case which monthly administers 1 M preparations. In cases of improving health there’s no theoretical limit to how far the interval can be extended between preparations, which means that the effect of the last dose can last a very long time.

The above method of regularly repeating preparations while slightly increasing the potency brings certain benefits, chief among which is the prevention of relapses. If these occur we reduce the period between preparations. This can be of great importance, particularly where the condition is serious. We usually start with a potency suitable to the person’s vitality (as described in the chapter Individual potency level) but we can also begin with a slightly lower potency and build up to the optimal level over the course of a few weeks. Results indicate that more frequent preparations produce a greater resonance on the organisational centre than is achieved with just a single preparation. This is attested to by the experience of Indian homeopaths but also by Hahnemann’s records on the effects of regularly repeated doses of so-called LM potencies. Determining whether a case continues according to Hering’s Laws or is already in relapse and thus requires another dose can sometimes be professionally demanding. But the method described above simplifies things. We basically just repeat the process at regular intervals whether something is happening or not. As soon as we have clear evidence that the treatment has worked we can stop administering the preparation or, in order to maintain the current state, extend the intervals between doses. To start again if the ailments reappear. 

To conclude this section on the new method we should say that it has only been tested for a short time and with a relatively small number of cases and that the method of administering a preparation only once still remains a fundamental principle in autopathy. The vast majority of cases mentioned in this book and its predecessor (Autopathy, a Homeopathic Journey to l Harmony)  were treated using the method of a single dose administered for a long period.

Gradual administering of the potency

Some English homeopaths used to administer constitutional homeopathic medicines by increasing the medicine’s potency several times during the course of a single day. For example, 30C in the morning, 200C at midday and then 1M in the evening and then stop. This should intensify the effect and works as a single dose over the long term. I’ve used something similar in autopathy for a year now. We know that in the Autopathic Bottle the dilution gradually increases during preparation and does so continuously. If we put our free hand (just the tips of our fingers is sufficient) under the water flowing from the lower pipe and leave it there with occasional interruptions throughout the whole dilution period the rising potency is gradually accepted by the skin of the fingers. At the end we put the water remaining in the bottle (with the highest potency) on the skin of the forehead. I call this the gradual administering of the potency and in my experience it works. Organism is thus tuned during a longer time. Described method  also enables us to reach a potency of the preparation that is as near as possible to the individual fine matter level where the disturbance which hinders the flow of vital force arises. In the last year I have recommended this method for most of my cases, whether for single doses for a long period of time or for repeat doses, both at the beginning and when repeating a preparation at later stages of the treatment.
