Jonathan Hardy: Insects and Matridonals

 

Friday 19th and Saturday the 20th of April 2013 (10-17 hr)

Eindhoven, The Netherland

Dr. Jonathan Hardy is one of the best teachers of homeopathic remedies and well known to many of us because of his thorough knowledge and extensive experience with animal remedies. Also for this seminar he selected beautiful cases in which he brings to live Insects and Matridonals (Gifts of the mother) behind the patients. He is asked as speaker all of the world because of his scientific attitude, his clear presentation and warm personality.

Jonathan studied Zoology at Oxford University and obtained an Honours degree in 1978. He then studied Medicine at Southampton University and qualified in 1984.

He became a member of the Faculty of Homeopathy in 1988 and has worked fulltime in Homeopathy since, both privately and within the NHS. He has found his Zoological training has helped enormously in his understanding of Animal remedies.

Jonathan runs a multidisciplinary natural health clinic in Southern England with a team of other experienced practitioners using Acupuncture, Chiropractic, Reflexology, and Psychotherapy.

He is a member of the Faculty of Homeopathy’s International Teaching Group and enjoys giving seminars both in the UK and abroad.

He was honoured to be elected a Fellow of the Faculty in 2010.

In this seminar we will look at two fascinating remedy groups.

Most animals on the planet are insects. There is an incredible variety and we will look at remedies from a number of different subclasses. We will get an understanding of the themes common in Insect cases generally - in particular those of restless activity, ambition and the urge for transformation into something better – metamorphosis. We will also investigate the specific themes of various Insect Orders, including Diptera (Flies), Lepidoptera (Butterflies and Moths), Hymenoptera (Bees and Ants) and Orthoptera (Locusts).

The different groups will be illustrated with case examples on video, edited for clarity. There will be extensive handouts of the general Insect themes, subclass themes and the specific remedies we study.

The Matridonals are a little known and relatively new group of remedies. Matridonal means Gifts of the Mother and the remedies are Placenta, Amniotic Fluid, Umbilical Cord and Vernix Caseosa. They are indicated in a number of therapeutic areas including difficulties in pregnancy and childbirth and mother-child bonding issues. However their therapeutic range is deeper and more far-reaching than these more immediate issues and also includes resolution of longstanding feelings of grief, lack of identity and exclusion.

There is overlap with other remedy groups including Row 2 of the Periodic Table (womb-like experiences and separation issues) and Mammal remedies, and we will see how to differentiate them.

We will study the themes of the group, the provings of the individual remedies and you will see a number of cured cases on video.

To cover all this we will need to manifest the Insect theme of intense activity, but it should be fun!
