Source Awareness Healing is a unique therapeutic technique that integrates homeopathy and Self Awareness (based on Advait Vedant and yogic practices). (ft note: Advait Vedant – non-dualism, the direct experience of indivisible oneness.)

Through this innovated system, we come to a clearer understanding of the mind’s fundamental role in causing physical, emotional and mental unease. We further learn mastery over the mind, which leads to connection with our original identity: source awareness. Through this process, our innate wellbeing is uncovered.

Just as light dispels darkness, the light of source awareness, when released from its entanglement in our internal dialogue, dispels confusion and unease, and brings light to the subtle levels of witnessing consciousness. Through Source Awareness guidance and its healing practices, the mind and body’s energetic channels become clear. This brings about a harmonious integration of body, mind and spirit, and results in vitality on all these three levels.

*Advait Vedant – non-dualism, the direct experience of indivisible oneness.

Mind is a wonderfully complex and multi-dimensional instrument, but we mostly remain entangled in the complex weave of our thoughts. For example, a thought comes to the mind: I’d like to eat ice cream. The discriminating faculty, the intellect, spontaneously responds, It is only half an hour until dinnertime, so I’ll wait. Then the ego, the faculty of self-judgment, makes comments, such as I’m greedy, I’m weak and I’ll never gain control over my desires. I feel fat and unattractive, I’m afraid that my friends don’t like me, I am … The ego’s erroneous running commentary revolves around our imagined inabilities, resulting either in self-belittlement or in blaming others.

It is possible to objectively observe the functioning of our internal dialogue (the thoughts and the internal commentary on the thoughts).The perspective of Source Awareness works to unlock a witnessing faculty, which naturally transforms the dis-ease of our internal dialogue into ease at the level of the witnessing consciousness. Then our internal dialogue can becomes an effective tool when directed towards acquisition of Self knowledge and Self fulfillment.

Witnessing consciousness is the essence of being and basis by which we come into manifestation. Just as colour needs a canvas on which to appear, our internal dialogue manifests out of the essential substance, which is witnessing consciousness.

Through Source Awareness Healing, we develop our ability to cultivate the mind’s witnessing capacity to gain a healthy perspective on our internal dialogue, which empowers us so that we are not bound by thoughts that lead to dis-ease, but rather we gain the ability to cultivate thoughts which lead to health and life-supporting action. An other words, Source Awareness Healing facilitates recognition of our fundamental basis – witnessing consciousness, which is free by nature and supportive of the health and wellbeing of all.

When consciousness is limited to our internal dialogue, freedom cannot be known, for thinking only brings about more thinking. Therefore, we need an integrated perspective in conjunction with Source Awareness Healing techniques that support the recognition of witnessing consciousness and enhance natural healing.

Systems based on fundamental truths share fundamental principles, only the model and its language differ. For example, the father of homeopathy, Hahnemann used the word Wesen to describe the witnessing consciousness. Throughout his Organon of Medicine he described Wesen, with words such as, “essence,” “living entity,” “essential unchanging esse,” (being) “dynamism,” “self-subsisting presence,” “all-permeating,” “indivisible living power,” “living principle.”

A human being is not born to be bound. Whether it is freedom from poverty, disease, hatred, or suffering, we all desire freedom because it is the nature of our innermost being. I propose that we feel bound, incomplete, uneasy, stressed and strive to prove and secure an uncertain identity, because we feel separate from our very own essence or original state of being.

There is no freedom in being an identified character in our mental script, and so, restless and uneasy, our inner awareness rebels against the limitations of the script. Even though no one wants to live a scripted life, we often feel helpless as to how to rewrite our character that appears to have been allotted to us.

In a Source Awareness Healing session, I assist you in examining the script of your internal dialogue and help you reach the objective, to realise that the problem is not in the circumstances of your story that finds no relief from the instable ups and downs of our emotions.
“ Stress does not come from an external reality but from the manner in which we experience it.” Dr. Rajan Sankaran.

Higher intelligence and purity of being is not taught to us. It is our original nature. Young children are greatly connected to their purity of being, with no real sense of freedom or bondage until an identity is formed through a process of mental and social conditioning. The conditioned identity serves to help each of us function practically in the world, but it is not our totality.

Consider the example of the ocean and a wave. Identification with the wave allows for only a limited understanding of the ocean, whereas awareness of the essential identity of a wave is awareness of the ocean water as a whole.

Our original being, like the expansive ocean water, includes the conditioned identity within itself, because ocean awareness knows that water is not separate from wave; whereas the individual wave consciousness understands itself to be separate from other waves and from the expanse of ocean water. Waves rise and fall, symbolic of the ease and unease of human experience. The vast ocean, symbolic of the witnessing consciousness, neither rises nor falls.

How does this example of the ocean and wave consciousness relate to us personally? When our thinking mind does not include the witnessing consciousness, we feel separate and incomplete. So we continue, through all kinds of efforts, to validate our limited identity in a genuine yet mistaken attempt to experience our original freedom, which is our Source Awareness. Even our greatest achievements do not bring us to a place of ease; rather, we are left with the feeling that something is lacking.

Despite having been limited by conditioning, our developed mind has the innate intelligence to discriminate between our limited identity and the witnessing consciousness. This mental clarity is our higher intelligence. It is our original being, the nature of which is freedom and health on all levels.

The subtle level of awareness must be addressed to reach the source of healing. Medicine focused only on a physical level will serve as a temporary balance, whereas tuning in to your Source Awareness facilitates your physical therapy bringing health on all levels.

The incompleteness of our limited identity does not allow our free nature to realise its fullness. It perpetuates dissatisfaction and disease, not because our mind or body is sick, but because incompleteness holds within itself an unfulfilled state.

What is the limited identity? The mind is busy labelling us: I am good at this and not good at that. I am this type of person – not that type of person. I succeed sometimes and other times I don’t. I have this strength and this failing. I am better than this person and less than that person. Whatever the theme of the struggle may be, the mind’s nature is to focus on our qualities and then label them good or bad.

By labelling our qualities we are actually addressing the question, Who am I? in an attempt to connect with our true identity. But when we are only in relation with our thinking, which bounces back and forth between good and bad labels, an internal struggle results.

Just as water has different states, such as liquid, ice and vapour we know and experience ourselves as individuals with a variety of thoughts, moods and physical sensations. When we are in touch with our true identity, vitality irrigates the totality of our being..

Source Awareness Healing is not the practice of affirming our individual qualities, nor is it simply a practice to counteract negativity with positivity. It is transformational. It brings about the cure on a deeper level of awareness enabling us to tune in to the source of our healing power –that which gives rise to both the positive and negative.

Source Awareness Healing is therapeutic, but it does not attempt to bring about a solution from our internal dialogue, which is the content of the mind. Rather, our witnessing consciousness is liberated from our internal dialogue and guided to transform our perspective by utilizing a formula that engages both the physical and the subtle levels. You can apply it in your work, your interactions, and your personal relationships.

The ability to identify our internal dialogue as a limited perspective, compared to the unlimited witnessing consciousness, is only an initial step in the process of gaining an integrated perspective. Source Awareness Healing envelops the human experience. The expansive state of consciousness, in which we unite with our true being, knows a state of love that is neither gained nor diminished. It develops intelligence into higher wisdom. And it unfolds the confidence that allows us to harmoniously engage in the diversity of life without losing the balance and health of the body and mind.

The Sanskrit word “Samaadhi,” (sam means “even” and dhi means “intellect”) is described in Patanjali Yog Darshan, as a state in which the individual I is absorbed in its source. Samaadhi is not a state in which the mind is controlled or silenced, as is often interpreted, but rather a state where the identification with the thoughts is released to recognise its free and limitless nature.

When children play in their imaginative realm they are beyond awareness of time and space relativity. In this state, they are happily absorbed in a dimension where their mind is not engaged in an inner commentary or analysis of themselves in relation to their game – i.e. there is no conscious identification with the mind. This state is a certain level of samaadhi that I refer to as the free-flying consciousness.

We may also observe that often times, when a child’s free flying consciousness is brought into the realm of time and space it is met with resistance. An example of this resistance is a child who is playing with their friend, who throws a tantrum when they are called to clean their room. The transition of their attention from a subtle realm to a physical realm causes unease in their body, so they throw a tantrum in order to deal with the energy.

As hormones develop in the adolescent, the natural gravity of our energy is drawn down in the opposite direction of the free-flying consciousness, to be experienced more predominantly in the body and time-space mind dimension, and so the teenager develops their identity in relation to body and image.

Along with hormonal development, social sensibility develops, in which we are influenced by society’s expectations to be attractive, smart and successful, bringing a sense of being confined to a moulded identity.

Adolescent development of identity is necessary to develop independence and responsibility in life, which in health, is an integration of free-flying consciousness with time-space social expectations. This natural gravitation of consciousness, due to body-mind development, is often awkward and confusing for a teenager. But for some souls, this process is extremely awkward, and so in an attempt to cope with the sensation of body energy, they develop avoiding mechanisms to block the energy in an attempt to not feel their body or accept responsibility.

When we are unable to integrate our free-flying consciousness with grounding mind-body energies in a balanced way, we experience physical unease – sometimes to the extreme, and doubt ourselves and our ability to cope.

Unable to find balance to integrate subtle and earthly energies within ourselves, creates an energetic disturbance that can lead to low self-esteem and complexes such as eating disorders, body-image disorders and borderline personality disorders, in which we are confused as to our purpose and identity and feel out of control, emotionally unstable, hopeless, unable to deal with social expectations and overwhelmed with relative activities.

It is my observation and understanding, from years of research that the cause of these types of disorders develop – in part – because of the inability to integrate subtle energy into mind-body more relative, grounded energy.

These disorders are not limited to be experienced only in teenage years, the malfunctioning coping mechanisms remain as a mind-set into adult years, even for a lifetime if left unresolved.

A selection of my patient’s expressions illustrating their experience of transcendence as a defence:
• I feel out of my body, I can't get my life together.
• I get spaced-out and I don't want to be around people.
• I need to be more grounded.
• I am relatively un-together I feel scattered, as if I am detached.
• I feel clumsy and awkward in my body. I hate my looks.
• I have a wish to not be on this planet.
• I have an openness for mediation and inner search that is not appreciated by others.
• I feel an awkward relationship my own body.
• It is a kind of denying of your own body.
• I am overly sensitive to criticism from worldly people that I am not practical.
• I have always been dreamy and so I am not able to get my stuff together .
• It’s a detached feeling, at that time I can't concentrate.
• I can’t relate to my image in the mirror.
• I feel like a doll made of cloth, all floppy, people think that I'm useless.
• I can’t figure out how to use this machine called my body.
• I am dealing with too much energy, it makes me anxious.
• I pick up on all kinds of energy, it freaks me out.
• The world forces you to be practical. They don’t understand me. It is for them that they want me to change, not for me.
   I am not like them.
• Everyone wants uniformity, to put me into a box, that feels very uncomfortable.
• Everyone else seems to fit into a rhythm that I can never fit into.
• It’s a panicked feeling, anxious, as if I’m on skates and I can’t keep up.
• I’m not connected to the body and it is scary.
• I can’t connect to my belly. I want to feel it here (belly) but I can’t.
• I can’t express, I’m too shy. My voice is all blocked up and only a squeak comes out.
• I feel blocked in my body – I can’t express my inner ideas, its all blocked.
• I can’t deal with stress – I feel there is no ground, I spin out.

Although Source Awareness Healing (SAH) is for all, I have found it particularly beneficial for those who difficulty lies in the follow areas:

For those whose sensitivity perceives subtle aspects of life: but whose difficulty lies in feeling easily ungrounded, spaced-out, scattered and anxious when faced with relative demands. SAH works in conjunction with yogic techniques to integrate our subtle energies and feel more balanced and grounded in our lives. (see above ‘Samadhi – free flying consciousness’)

For those who experience difficulty in self-governance: e.g. anorexics, bulimics and compulsive eaters. SAH breaks the starving-binging-purging cycle.

For those who have difficulty identifying with a stable sense of self: SAH guides us to identify our subtle sense of self, knowing which, we unfold self-confidence at a deeper level.

For homeopaths, health care practitioners and caregivers: who draw on healing energy to support others. SAH offers clarity to our motives and yogic techniques to balance the current of replenishing energy between our needs and the needs of others.

For those who live in the creative realm: but find difficulty to bring their creative ideas into manifestation.

For spiritual seekers: who find difficulty integrating the spiritual and the material realms. When transcendence is used as an avoidance to feeling it becomes an imbalance – expressed in physical symptoms, and therefore an obstacle on the spiritual path. Spiritual seekers may sometimes feel displaced in their body and in the world, leading to existential anxiety or depression. SAH works to bring unity in the relationship between you, your body and your world.

Source Awareness Healing (SAH) is an integrated system in the sense that its principles applies both to the client and to the practitioner.

We will better understand the underlying theme of our patient’s narration (having developed in ourselves a deeper insight into the nature of mind as a universal human phenomenon rather than a solely personal one) and thereby better pinpoint the core delusion and the basic polarity causing their inner disturbance.

We will be better able to listen to our patient without the mixture of our personal projection, having gained a perspective of our own internal dialogue.

We can offer integrated treatment –a perspective shift, healing techniques and the remedy– that recognises and supports the inherent wisdom of sensitive patients to assist them to tune into their sensitivity as a power for transformation rather than as a weakness to feel overwhelmed.

The principles of SAH particularly apply to those types of disorders that relate to an uncertain or unstable sense of self, such as eating disorders, body image disorders, job-burn out, borderline personality disorders or simply an experience of a nonspecific anxiety. “It is a highly unnatural state in which the person is transported from the world of the sense and appears to belong more to the spirit world.” (Organon: footnote: 289a)

We will better understand that the sensitive patient’s cause of frustration is due to their higher awareness of the inherent dissatisfaction of the senses, and learn how to direct that wisdom to attain deeper satisfaction and inner connection.

We will experience the healing effect of energy enhancing techniques to offer our patients as an additional remedy.

We will experience the healing effect of energy enhancing techniques so that we may fully engage in the case-receiving process in such a way that our and our patient’s energy is rejuvenated.

A two pronged approach to healing:

The method: One of the basic tenants of homeopathy recognizes the innate intelligence of our defence mechanism’s endeavour to heal itself by expressing our source disturbance through symptoms at a surface level. Under the same premise, our innate sense of freedom works not to accept the sense of being wrong, bound or incomplete in any way.

SAH is guided process that leads to a complete turnaround in how we approach our problems. This perspective shift integrates our innate sensitivity so that it functions harmoniously in our daily life.

SAH method gives rise to a deep awareness and experience of our pure being, releasing the struggle and tension at its core, integrating vital energy in the mind and body.

The techniques: To support the awakening of our innate inner awareness, SAH uses specialized techniques to integrate and thereby balance our subtle and physical energies, replenishing our vital force.

Meditation: An effortless direct experience of our witnessing consciousness.
Praanayam: Traditional conscious breathing techniques from yogic science.
Praanic awareness practices:
     - Directing conscious awareness as a healing force.
     - Integrating pathways between subtle and body energies.
     - Learning the Ayurvedic art of realigning the pulse at body’s energy centres.
     - Hands-on healing (in the live workshops).
     - Vocal techniques: to open channels of expression and creativity.
     - Writing techniques: using free-flight of consciousness techniques.
     - Nutritional sense: to learn how to promote a healthy digestion according to Ayurvedic principles..

A magical point of the session is when our perception is able to reverse from sickness to health, from uncertainty to wisdom, from separation to wholeness, from powerlessness to empowerment.

The previous understanding that our inner conflict is a sickness that needs to be got rid of, control or modified is transformed to realize that our inner struggle has in fact awoken us to get in touch with our original being. Knowing this, natural balance and vitality can be experienced in all aspects of our lives.

The ancient art of Self Awareness has been largely bypassed through the development of our society. Through the method of Self Awareness and yogic practices, health and equanimity can be attained. I have found that developing the perspective of the witness has led me to concur with ancient wisdom and inspired me to develop the method, Source Awareness Healing.

Influenced by Rudolf Steiner’s philosophy of education, I established a school in 1986 for the children of the participants of a large spiritual community in India. This has inspired an in-depth research into children and teenagers growing up in a spiritual community, in order to understand the developmental hurdles confronting a sensitive and aware child.
Practicing homeopathy in this community has given rise to an understanding of those who are intelligent and aware, but who have difficulty integrating their subtle, transcendent awareness with relative demands. Consequently they use transcendence to avoid relative energy, particularly in relation to their own body and its health.
Through my own observation, seeing how the homeopath is able to be a mirror for the client, I have slightly modified the method of a homeopathic intake in order to not only prescribe a homeopathic remedy, but also to reflect to the client a remedy enabling the integrated of their higher awareness with the body.
Treating patients with these particular sensitivities inspired me a have a new comprehension of auto-immune disorders, eating disorders, body image disorders, job burn-out, and borderline personality disorders that relate to an uncertain sense of self-identity.
This research has been my constant inspiration for many years, having personally suffered under the label anorexia bulimia from the age of fourteen. I came to India to study Advait philosophy, meditation and yogic practices when I was twenty-two years old. Initially, my focused was to gain insight and understanding in order to heal my own eating disorder. Through yogic practices such as meditation, praanayaam (conscious breathing practice), and an ongoing development in Source Awareness, I was able to gain a personal insight into the whole energetic disturbance from which imbalances such as eating disorders stem.

Now, I no longer identify with the mind-set of an anorexic, and so it is my genuine passion to want to pass on the techniques that turned my perspective 180 degrees –from the unrelenting internal dialogue of an anorexic to the recognition of my Source Awareness – freeing the witness consciousness from its association to the mind’s grooves of suffering.

Source Awareness has not only helped me in my homeopathic practice, but the healing perspective I see my patients, students, relations, friends, and my situations with the vision of oneness, free from the limits of a labelled identity. A vision that recognises that the basis of perception is not limited by the internal dialogue sees a state of perfection in everything, completely and effortlessly integrating the subtle with the physical.

Therefore, having shared my personal introduction with you, I invite the genuine healers as well as all those sensitive souls who are suffering with an inability to integrate their subtle sense of self with their human experience, to begin the process of Source Awareness Healing.
