You are the grace pouring down, the grace is you. Jelaluddin Rumi 1207 - 1273

Acknowledgements

You can see, even at a quick glance that I am deeply indebted to that great wise man of our community- Jan Scholten. The teachers at the Auckland College of Classical Homeopathy followed his development of the Mineral Kingdom from the earliest days of his work, so I have had the immense good fortune of having had these methods incorporated into my own training from the very beginning.

The works of Jan Scholten are more than just the basis of every mind map in this book - they inform t~_rp on every level, and he was exceptionally generous in allowing me to publish this work. I can't thank him enough. .,

~· .

I would like to thank all of those people who encouraged me: Derek and Pat Briggs who were the Founders and Directors of the Auckland College of Classical Homeopathy from 1984 - 2009, my tutors Brigita Biondic, Ann Gulley, Ros Lyall, Mary Tonner, Wendy Rapp-Gathercole - who taught me how to create a mind map, and most especially my mentor, the principal of the college, Jeannette Bennett. Also thanks, and my deepest affection, to Sophie Ganley and my teacher Pratibha Dalvi for their support and meticulous proof-reading.

To Ary Bakker who became navigator to make sure that the books "should not go wrong in sight of the harbour," my heartfelt gratitude. Voor Ari Bakker, die de helm aannam, zodat de boeken niet, met land al in zicht, nog zouden kunnen zinken. Heel, heel hartelijk bedankt, van mijn hart!

My deepest respect and gratitude to Dr Rajan Sankaran and Homoeopathic Medical Publishers for kind permission to use excerpts from 'The Soul of Remedies' as well as Dr Sankaran's other works.

ir-,

I must also thank the incomparable Frans Vermeulen, his Concordant Materia Medica is one of the primary reference texts used in these mind maps, along with Prisma and Synoptic 2. His work is so thorough and impeccable that one feels one can have huge confidence in it. I'm also very grateful for his generosity with his time and patience with my many questions. Thank you also to his publisher Emryss, especially to Jenni Tree who gave me support, encouragement and advice in this endeavour.

Thank you to all the master provers who allowed me to use their provings - so much-generosity, thank you all so very much.

And to the amazing authors who researched and wrote the non-homeopathic texts included on many mind maps goes my admiration as well as my thanks. So much of this work was fascinating to me and often lead me down channels of interest which I would never have otherwise gone down.

There is no doubt about it - this book would be much impoverished by the lack of photographs. Permission was often given with best wishes and occasionally with the offer of unlimited access to a gallery of photos. In some cases the photographer would actually take another photograph that they felt was more worthy of publication. Many of the photographs are works of art - as with the non-homeopathic texts and provings please bear in mind that every photograph is copyrighted to the photographer, please respect that with integrity and do not copy the mind maps. I'm most humbly grateful to the contributors who come from all over the world. May each and every one of them be blessed.

Loving gratitude to my teacher Suzanne Vesty who helped me find the way.

Thanks and inexpressible love to my family, who allowed, supported, waited patiently, encouraged, assisted, proof-read, and believed in me for all the years it took to produce my books. Feel my love, Alicia Auckland, 2010

Foreword This book was originally meant for my own personal use being a required assignment at college. It wasn't until my tutors and my fellow students began to request copies that I came to realize that these mind maps might also be of some value to other practitioners. By the end of my third year, with the encouragement of my tutors, as well as continuing to create new mind maps I had begun revising and updating to the best of my ability in preparation for publication. However, because they were originally written only for myself there are some idiosyncrasies, punctuation in particular - it was reduced to the minimum so as not to add to the busyness of the page. 1li.°.:·

These mind maps are entirely built around the Group Analysis method of Jan Scholte1:1.whicharranges the witn each remedy remedies according to their Stage (columns) and Series (rows) on the periodiG-ta__!J_le, expressing a stage of developmental progress from conception to very old age as you move from left to right along each column and also as you move down the rows - as described iii 'Homeopathy and the Minerals', Stichting Alonnissos, 2000 and 'Homeopathy and the Elements', Stichting Alonnissos, 2002. The theme of the remedy arises from the intersection of the column and row that the element is placed at on the periodic table. There are many nuances and subtleties to this form of analysis and I would strongly recommend that, if you are not already a student of Jan Scholten's work, you read all of his books and gain a full understanding of his methods and follow, from the beginning, his development so you can apply the information correctly. Also, these mind maps are in no way meant to replace the study of the materia medica; it's best to refer to the mind maps once you have read, and wish to differentiate, the materia medica and the proving of the remedy you are considering. Then come to the mind map and see how the character might present. My work is just one persons' view of how the remedy unfolds; so obviously you must not rely on just these mind maps research your remedy thoroughly and come to know it from all its perspectives - be aware that a remedy has many degrees of experience, a broad spectrum of presentation and depths of intensity of expression. The remedies included in this book are what I was required to do by my college, created to assist me with analysis of a case, were requested by a colleague, or simply remedies that I was particularly interested in. The way to read the mind map is to start at the top and work downwards. They begin with the deepest mental beliefs and delusions, and then move down to the emotions that arise out of those beliefs, and then down to the physical pathology that arises out of those emotions. One thing leads to another. When you come to an arrow that goes off to one side or the other you follow that trail of arrows until it runs out and then go back to the centre line, or the top, and move downwards again. The idea is that the picture unfolds as you move towards the bottom, one symptom arising out of another. As you begin to use the mind maps more frequently you will become very familiar with the pattern of the layout and they become very easy to follow and understand. Please note that the mind maps don't re-connect rubrics as they were in the proving - they are a portrayal as I see it of how they fit together to form the picture. I have collated information from many sources, and in some cases from separate provings, into the mind maps. I have no doubt that there will be mistakes in this book, I've tried very hard to ensure that there aren't, but human error is inevitable; if you find any please contact Moozoonsii Publishing so I can rectify them. I've also tried to be diligent in acquiring permission to use material but I have no doubt that I will have overlooked some of the authors who ought to be credited on the mind maps. I received much of the information verbally in lectures, by tutors in class or guest speakers at seminars who may not always reference each point, it was gathered from diverse sources and, as often happens in these situations, important sources go unacknowledged. If so I'm very sorry indeed. Please advise Moozoonsii Publishing of this so that credit may be given where due.

Although we have cited the ancient Egyptians as practising the chemical arts, there is no proof that these arts actually originated with them. China, India, Chalda:a [Southern Iraq and Kuwait] have each in turn been regarded as the birth-place of the various technical processes from which chemistry may be said to have taken its rise. Nevertheless, it is mainly from Egyptian records, or from writings avowedly based on information from Egyptian sources, that such knowledge as we possess of the earliest chemical processes is derived. It is significant that the word "chemistry" has its origin in chemi, "the black land," the ancient name for Egypt. The art itself was constantly spoken ofas the "Egyptian art".(]) Alchemy can be traced as far back as 1900 B.C. to the Egyptian "Hermes Trismegistus"*; He was called Ter Maximus, as having a perfect knowledge of all things contained in the world which things he divided into three kingdoms, viz. animal, vegetable, and mineral; in the knowledge and comprehension of which three he excelled and transmitted to posterity, in enigmas and symbols, the profound secrets of nature.

There is a distinction between the mineral acids (a water-soluble acid derived from inorganic minerals) on one side and the organic acids (ready formed in plants or their fruits) on the other. The mineral acids as a class all produce an irritability of fibre together with weakness and prostration ... You will find them to produce an irritable weakness - the pulse is weak and irritable whereas the vegetable acids produce weakness without irritability. (I) Generals Fair haired, thin Right-sided.

Physicals Mucous membranes: Irritation, Violent inflammation, rawness and excoriation, Pseudomembranous formations, except Chlorum, Larynx and bronchial tubes Spasm of the glottis, esp. Chlorum Glandular system producing enlargement, induration and even abscess in glands

By the early 19th century chemists had noticed certain relationships between the properties of elements and their atomic weight and realized that they could be grouped accordingly. J.S.C. Schweigger first used the term 'Halogens' in 1811 (from Gk: ha/as salt, and genein to produce= salt-forming); subsequently Berzelius* applied this term to the entire group although he included cyanogen (CN)2. Cyanogen was later dropped but the term was adopted for the rest of the group(I). The halogens are: fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. 'Yet to be named Element 117 has recently been discovered (2010) by a joint American/Russian team of scientists; it may also be a halogen(2).' Near room temperature, the halogens range from gas to liquid to solid as you move down the table: fluorine and chlorine are gases, bromine is a liquid, and iodine and astatine are solids. Their colours become darker as you move down the table: Fluorine gas is pale yellow; chlorine gas is a yellowish green; bromine and its vapours are brownish red; solid iodine is shiny, dark grey crystals, and its vapours are a deep violet, and presumably Astatine will be blackish-brown. Their melting points and boiling points also increase going down the table. However, their reactivity decreases - fluorine being one of the most reactive of all the known elements. In homeopathy the intensity of their state increases as you go down. The common denominator within the halogen group is that each one has seven electrons in its valence shell. Because the atoms are one electron short of a full outer shell halogens are highly reactive - they gain an electron by reacting with the atoms of other elements and they are never found free in nature, but always in compounds. Except for helium and neon the halogens have been found to react with every other element forming compounds such as: sodium chloride - common table salt, sodium fluoride used to fluoridate water, calcium chloride - used to melt ice on streets, silver bromide and silver iodide - used on photographic film, magnesium fluoride - used to make windows which are of use in electro-optic devices, potassium iodide - used to protect the thyroid gland from radiation injury, etc. *World-renowned Swedish chemist Baron Jons Jakob Berzelius (1779-1848).

Natural Organohalogens: "Natural biogenic organohalogens are produced by

organisms (bacteria, fungi, plants, marine organisms, higher animals) for a specific purpose usually involving the survival of the species. Natural abiogenic organohalogens are formed during geothermal processes from chloride, fluoride and bromide salts and organic matter. A key conclusion to the study is that chlorine, bromine, iodine and fluorine are natural components of the biosphere and are essential for normal ecosystem functioning. Nearly all forms of life produce organohalogens with marine organisms making the greatest contribution. Naturally occurring organochlorine, organobromine, organoiodine, and organofluorine chemical compounds are abundant on Earth, and more than 4,000 such compounds have been identified from both biogenic and abiogenic sources, being isolated at a rate of 100-200 new compounds per year. Although most of these compounds are new to science, a significant number are identical to man-made compounds, such as methyl chloride, methyl bromide, chloroform, chlorophenols, dioxins, brominated diphenyl ethers, some CFCs, fluoroacetic acid, chlorinated acetic acids and others. The quantities of some natural organohalogens greatly exceed the identical organohalogens that are produced by man. Like the carbon cycle, chlorine and the other halogens cycle between the ocean, atmosphere and terrestrial environments."

Eyes: Inflammations, Visual disturbances N.B. Due to its extremely unstable nature Astatine has not yet been potentized or proved. This mind map is based entirely on the Group Analysis work of Jan Scholten.

In 1931 American chemist Fred Allison announced that he had discovered 'Element 85' - the element that was missing from box 85 of the periodic table. He suggested the name 'Alabamine'. Other chemists were unable to achieve the same result so research continued for the element that they felt must fit into the empty box on the periodic table. It was subsequently produced in a cyclotron by Dale R. Corson, Emilio Sergre, and Kenneth R. MacKenzie in 1940. Astatine is created during the natural decay series of uranium and thorium. It is highly radioactive and has an extremely short half-life - only 8.1 hours. Professor Corson is recorded in the Guinness World Records as having discovered the rarest known element on earth; perhaps as little as only 1 ounce (28 gm) exists. Some of the properties are similar to those of iodine and like iodine may accumulate in the thyroid gland(]). Being radioactive Astatine is highly carcinogenic. (1) Chemical Engineering News, Dale R. Corson, Cornell University, Copyright© 2003 American Chemical Society For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground And tell sad stories of the death of kings; How some have been deposed; some slain in war, Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed; Some poison'd by their wives: some sleeping kill'd; All murder'd: for within the hollow crown That rounds the mortal temples of a king Keeps Death his court and there the antic sits, Scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp, Allowing him a breath, a little scene, To monarchize, be fear'd and kill with looks, Infusing him with self and vain conceit, As if this flesh which walls about our life, Were brass impregnable, and humour'd thus Comes at the last and with a little pin Bores through his castle wall, and farewell king!

The name Helium is derived from the Greek word 'Helios' the Titan god of the sun. It is a colourless, odourless, tasteless gas, a noble gas and the second most abundant element in the universe (Hydrogen being the most abundant). Helium is completely inert. It does not form compounds or react with any other element. Helium was first discovered not on Earth, but in the Sun. In 1868 French astronomer Pierre Janssen (1824-1907) studied light from the Sun during a solar eclipse. He found proof that a new element existed in the Sun. Then, in 1895, the English physicist Sir William Ramsay (1852-1916) found helium in a mineral of the element uranium [helium is created during the disintegration of radioactive elements). New Zealand physicist Ernest Rutherford (18711937) showed that an alpha particle is nothing more than a helium atom without its electrons. As uranium atoms broke apart they then gave off alpha particles (helium atoms). That is why helium was first found on Earth in connection with uranium ores. For an inactive gas, helium has a surprising number of applications. It is used in low-temperature research, for filling balloons and dirigibles (blimps), to pressurize rocket fuels, in welding operations, in lead detection systems, in neon signs, and to protect objects from reacting with oxygen. Helium makes up about 0.0005% of the earth's atmosphere. This trace amount ofheliurn is not gravitationally bound to the earth and is constantly lost to space. Seibel, Clifford W. (1968).

Carbon: Latin: carbo,'charcoal. Carbon is the basis for life. Being the 6th most abundant element in the universe it is found in the sun, some of the moons, stars, comets, and atJnospheres of most planets. On earth it is found dissolved in all natural waters and in the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide. The composition of the human body is 18% carbon, second only to oxygen. There are four known allotropes of carbon: amorphous, graphite, diamond, and fullerene. Because of its unique ability to create very strong bonds with itself and with many other elements it is able to form millions of various compounds many of which are essential to life and organic processes. One of these compounds is of vital interest to the global community at the moment - carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a principal component of greenhouse gas. The carbon cycle is a major focus of the scientific community as global warming continues to affect the ecosystems of the earth. Unexpected solute aggregation in water on dilution, Lab.

Buckminster Fullerene are the 60-atom clusters, with a shape somewhat like soccerballs - pentagons and hexagons bound together into round hollow molecular cages along the same architectural lines as the geodesic domes created by the noted architect and philosopher R. Buckminster Fuller. About a billionth of a meter in diameter, they are incredibly stable - slammed against a steel surface at 17,000 miles per hour, they bounce off undisturbed. Fullerenes were discovered in 1985 by scientists at Rice University while doing experiments with carbon clusters in supersonic beams. This discovery led to the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to H.W. Kroto, R.F. Curl, and R.E. Smalley. However, the evidence for the existence of these molecules remained indirect until 1990, when researchers at the Max Planck Institute in Germany used a carbon-arc plasma to produce the first directly observable (visible to the naked eye) quantities. Within months, physicists, chemists, and materials scientists all over the world were making their own buckyballs and in the process spawning an entire family offullerenes, from 'buckybabies' with 32 carbon atoms (C32) to giant fullerenes with 960 carbon atoms (C960). In 1991, Science magazine named the buckyball its choice for "molecule of the year,'' calling it "the discovery most likely to shape the course of scientific research in the years ahead," http:llwww.tbl.gov!Science-

Lithium contains just a single valence electron. In nature it is never found in its elemental form; lithium metal is generated by the electrolysis of a molten mixture of lithium chloride, and potassium chloride. It is a solid, the lightest metal, about half as dense as water. A freshly cut piece of lithium is silvery, but tarnishes in around a minute or so in air to give a grey surface. It has the highest specific heat capacity of any solid element, so it is used in many heat transfer applications. However, it is corrosive and requires special handling; it is immersed in oil for storage. It is used as an alloying agent, in the synthesis of organic compounds, ceramics, glass, aluminium production, vitamin A synthesis, batteries and has applications in the nuclear industry (thermonuclear weapons) Lithium carbonate is used medically as a mood stabilizer, esp. for depression and mania through interaction with neurotransmitters and receptors. Lithium is thought to be one of the few elements created (primordial nucleosynthesis) during the super-heat (billions of degrees kelvin) minutes after the Big Bang.

Beryllium is the lightest member of the alkaline earth metals group, and never occurs as a free element. It is a hard, brittle metal with a greyish-white surface. It is the lightest metal that can be used in construction and is relatively common in the Earth's crust (50th most common element). Discovered by French chemist Louis-Nicolas Vauquelin in 1798, he called it 'earth of beryl' however, "the most characteristic property of this earth, confirmed by the latest experiences of our colleague, the taste being a sweet flavour, we propose that they call it "glucine"; from Greek 'glykys' meaning 'sweet' (JJ." Tasting it was not a very good idea though, as it is extremely toxic (considered one of the most toxic on the periodic table). It is most dangerous in powder form and should never be tasted, inhaled or ingested. In 1798 Martin Heinrich Klaproth, noting that Yttria salts are also sweet, felt that the name beryllia would be more appropriate. It was referred to by the two different names, beryllium and glucinium, for 160 years [confusion of identity]. 1924 the Chemical Society in England adopted 'Beryllium' and at the 15th IUPAC Conference in Amsterdam in 1949, the IUPAC's CNIC formally adopted the name beryllium (2). Beryllium has a corrosive effect on tissues and poisoning is called 'Berylliosis' or 'Chronic Beryllium Disease' (CBD). It affects the lungs causing small inflammatory nodules, called granulomas (also seen in tuberculosis and sarcoidosis). This leads lo restrictive lung disease with decreased diffusion capacity, causing shortness of breath, a cough, chest pain, aches in the joints, anorexia with subsequent weight loss, fever, weakness, exhaustion and right-sided heart enlargement.

Nitrogen was discovered by Daniel Rutherford in 1772 in Scotland, but Scheele, Cavendish, Priestley and others about the same time studied "burnt or dephlogisticated air", sometimes called Nitrogen. It is a colourless, odourless gas which makes up 78% of the air, by volume. From this inexhaustible source it can be obtained by liquefaction and fractional distillation. It is an important part of all protein molecules and is also used to make nucleic acids which store genetic information. Nitrogen is the basis of life, but plants, animals, and humans do not have the ability to fix nitrogen. All living organisms on earth depend on soil bacteria to carry out this process. The element nitrogen is so inert that Lavoisier named it 'azote', meaning 'without life', yet its compounds are so active as to be most important in many essential foods, fertilisers, plastics, poisons and explosives - as well as in all living organisms. Lightning is a major contributor to nitrogen fixation.

I touch the shirt and get oil on my red, rust coloured silk shirt. I am furious and run around to find the man who did this amongst the crowd of party people. I find another man and start shouting. I look at his face, he is sullen, brutal, a hard set face, and I realise the gravity of the situation. He calls another man. My boyfriend attempts to intervene and is taken away. The other man calls again and 2 youths with 3 arms each arrive with big bows, threatening to shoot me. Another man starts gobbing at me; he spits frothy, yellow, slimy gob and it showers me and my face. I know it's time to surrender; I ask God for help. I look around at the female's faces; they are battered, cut and bruised. Their hair is shaved in parts; clotted blood on their heads. I know my fate. I feel a steel blade against my head and grab hold of it, my hand runs blood. I'm forced towards a concrete alley. I look down at the margin between the concrete and the basement window and see a huge bloodstained machete. I feel very scared and start yelling and shouting "God save me, God forgive me". Behind a wall comes a squat man with a big wooden cudgel and then he goes out of my line of vision. I am waiting for the final wallop, not scared, but resigned. I am still waiting when I wake.

Astronomers have discovered bucket loads ofbuckyballs in space. They used NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope to find the little carbon spheres throughout our Milky Way galaxy in the space between stars and around three dying stars. What's more, Spitzer detected buckyballs around a fourth dying star in a nearby galaxy in staggering quantities - the equivalent in mass to about 15 of our moons. "Spitzer had recently found them in one specific location, but now we see them in other environments. This has implications for the chemistry of life. It's possible that buckyballs from outer space provided seeds for life on Earth."

-Multiple forms of silica exist in nature and silicon, a component, is the second most prevalent element after oxygen. Silica has widespread industrial applications including use as a food additive, i.e., anti-caking agent, as a means to clarify beverages, control viscosity, as an anti-foaming agent, dough modifier, and as an excipient in drugs and vitamins. Chemically, silica is an oxide of silicon: silicon dioxide, and is generally colourless to white and insoluble in water. When associated with metals or minerals the family of silicates is formed. There are several water soluble forms of silica collectively referred to as silicic acid (ortho, meta, di, and tri-silicates), which are present in surface and well water in the range of 1-100 mg/L. Orthosilicic acid is the form predominantly absorbed by humans and is found in numerous tissues including bone, tendons, aorta, liver and kidney. Compelling data suggest that silica is essential for health although no RDI has been established. However, deficiency induces deformities in skull and peripheral bones, poorly formed joints, reduced contents of cartilage, collagen, and disruption of mineral balance in the femur and vertebrae. Very little toxicity data exist regarding aqueous silica consumption due, in part, to the lack of anecdotal reports of toxicity and general presumption of safety. However, a few rodent studies have been conducted, which indicate a No Observed Adverse Effects Level (NOAEL) of 50,000 ppm (mg/L) for dietary silica. J Nutr Health Aging. 2007 Mar-Apr;] I (2):94-7.

Critical --

'Love, sympathy and communion with others are longed for; yet an inner command, as it were, forbids their acceptance and urges him on to find the source of strength within himself. This separative urge is greater than his emotional longing for connectedness; he is tom by inner strife ... To master sweat and tears, toil, pain and emotion moulds the human personality. The experience of separation and of loneliness has to be passed through as a stage in finding ones' self.' (Whitmont)

d.d. the Natrum salts

Potassium comes from the French word 'potasse' (potash), which is the residue produced when wood ash solutions are evaporated; its symbol K comes from the Latin 'kalium' which in tum arises out of the Arabic word 'qali', used by the Persian pharmacist Abu Mansur Muwafaq in about 975 A.D.(I) and 'al-qa\rah' "the ashes", from which we get 'alkali'. Potassium is ranked 7 most abundant element in the earth's crust. As it is an Alkali metal it is very reactive and never occurs free in nature. It's a soft, silvery grey/white metal which is essential for life and present in all soils, plant and animal tissues. It's so soft it can be cut with a knife. It reacts violently with water and emits a violet flame when burning. (}) Tarquin Publishers, www.tarquingroup.com

Tantalus (Greek: Tantalos) was the son of Zeus and the nymph Plouto (daughter of Cronus and Rhea) and father of Niobe and Pelops. He was a wealthy king of Sipylus in Lydia (or of Phrygia or of Paphlagonia) in Asia Minor. Other versions cite his father as Tmolus, son of Sipylus, a King of Lydia (an Iron Age kingdom in what is now western Turkey). (Tmolus is also a range of mountains and Sipylus a mountain - both in ancient Lydia). In any case, he was a favourite of the Gods of Olympus... until he made a big mistake ... "If indeed the watchers of Olympus ever honoured a mortal man, that man was Tantalus. But he was not able to digest his great prosperity, and for his greed he gained overpowering ruin, which the Father hung over him: a mighty stone. Always longing to cast it away from his head, he wanders far from the joy of festivity. He has this helpless life of never-ending labour, a fourth toil after three others, because he stole from the gods nectar and ambrosia, with which they had made him immortal, and gave them to his drinking companions. If any man expects that what he does escapes the notice of a god, he is wrong." Olympian Odes, I, by Pindar, 476 BC Another tale tells of Tantalus, wanting to test the omniscience of the gods, killing his son and serving him at a banquet he held in honour of the gods. All of the gods knew of this deception except Demeter who was grieving the loss of her daughter - she ate the flesh of Pelops. Zeus punished Tantalus by sending him to his torment in Hades where food and drink was always visible but just out of reach. "There was Tantalus, who stood in a pool, his chin level with the water, yet he was parched with thirst, and found nothing to assuage it; for when he bowed his hoary head, eager to quaff, the water fled away, leaving the ground at his feet all dry. Tall trees laden with fruit stooped their heads to him, pears, pomegranates, apples and luscious figs; but when with a sudden grasp he tried to seize them, winds whirled them high above his reach." Bulfinch's Mythology: The Age of Fable, by Thomas Bulfinch, Hamlyn Publishing Group Ltd, 1969 " ... Your cleverest poets ... deny food and drink to Tantalus, merely because he was a good man and inclined to share with his friends the immortality bestowed on him by the gods. And some of them hang stones over him, and rain insults of a terrible kind upon this divine and good man; and I would much rather that they had represented him as swimming in a lake of nectar, for he regaled men with that drink humanely and ungrudgingly ... But we must not suppose that he was really the victim of the gods' dislike..." Lucius Navius Philostratus, (c. 170-247), "the Athenian", Life of Apollonius ofTyana 3.25.

'We are after all 80% water in our bodies. The water we take in carries the cellular 'memory ~nd history of the landscape through which it has travelled. It holds the medicinal and mineral qualities of the plants and rocks it has travelled through and over, the rivers, seas and clouds before returning once again to the land. By listening to your own internal waters, by opening up to sensitivity and emotion, it is possible to get in touch once again with the All That Is. Tapping ones 'black waters' releases emotions, sensitivities, and feelings which can be channelled through the arts. Listening to one's waters is vital and something to be mindful of. It helps one find an inner strength and daily acceptance of one's position in life. Water is held sacred in all major religions and first nation spiritual systems for its cleansing and healing properties. We use the word 'water' in analogy and speech continually without thought. We 'storm with rage', have 'floods of tears', 'go with the flow', 'dam up our feelings' and 'feel it in our waters'. Water initiates rites of passage, heals grief with tears, is a shape shifter with the seasons and it is the element of our subconscious. By using water as a medium we can tap into our own divine waters, and the healing that we receive can then be channelled back into the healing water on our planet as well as the waters within humanity on this planet.' 91

A list of some of the homeopathic Aqua remedies from around the world It is possible that mineral springs were the first method of healing used by humans, even before plants. As we develop more knowledge of 'family' groupings in homeopathy and begin to recognise the groups by their outstanding characteristics it becomes even more imperative that we use consistent nomenclature for the r_emedies. Therefore, I have prefaced each of these water remedies with "Aqua".
