The knowledge of the most effective remedy is to be found in the subconscious of every human being. The adept homeopath can facilitate the individual’s access to this hidden knowledge.
Dr Schlingensiepen has laid the foundation for this innovative approach through years of carefully documented case-taking and systematic investigation of the follow-ups.
Using 24 remedy pictures of cosmic origin – such as Sol, Helium, Positronium, Meteorite, Brass, Volcano, precious stones, and Geyser – she shows how we can accompany our patients on the journey into their unconscious and help them to name the source of their remedy. This may even be a remedy that is so far unknown to homeopathy, yet which is nevertheless capable of bringing about profound healing, even in serious illness.
“Irene Schlingensiepen-Brysch is a scientist who has managed to retain her scientific approach as a homeopath, in order to search out the unwritten laws of a successful prescription. In Irene the right hemisphere is connected to the left, analysis encounters synthesis, east meets west.” - Harry van der Zee
“Irene Schlingensiepen-Brysch carefully, unwaveringly, and persistently follows the stream of words and gestures coming from her patients, upstream to the healing source. The way is radically new ... A source of inspiration and an example of homeopathy practised with integrity and to a high scientific standard.” - Uta Santos-König
“I recommend this book to all homeopaths. It can trigger a very deep understanding of the effectiveness of remedies, their essences, and sources.” - Jan Scholten
“I enjoyed this more than any other homeopathic book in three years. It is a timely gem clearly written with beautiful narrative displaying intelligence and clarity of understanding.
On a daring journey this book seeks the source. For those of you that are not yet convinced of the benefits of the sensation method this will be particularly illuminating. However for those already well versed in homeopathy's recent evolution, Irene has some useful additional tips of her own.
There follows some fascinating cases elegantly taken containing details and analyses that I had not heard before – e.g. the differential diagnosis of hydrogen, helium and positronium. …. Buy the book. Take the leap!!” - Geoff Johnson, Review for the Society of Homeopaths

In the alleviation of the vast width and depth of mankind's suffering, homeopathy is one of the most scientific systems of healing available today. Samuel Hahnemann established and developed a thorough methodology with clear practical guidelines based on an insightful philosophy.
Despite this, a scientific mindset is scarcely found in homeopathy. The very word "science" may even call up feelings of antipathy in many homeopaths because it is associated with the lack of recognition homeopathy has been treated with until today from evidence-based conventional medicine.
However, to attain a healthy balance in itself, and to move forward in its development, homeopathy sorely needs a cross-fertilization through inputs by scientists from other fields of knowledge and research, even those seemingly opposed to homeopathy such as conventional medicine, or disciplines operating ostensibly far outside the homeopathic domain.
And homeopathy needs homeopaths with an open scientific mind looking for answers to bold questions, instead of clinging to firmly-held beliefs.
Irene Schlingensiepen-Brysch is a scientist who used to work in a field very different from homeopathy; after becoming a homeopath she maintained her scientific attitude, striving to verify her results and looking for the Source and methodology behind successful prescriptions.
In Irene the left side of the brain unites with the right one, analysis meets synthesis, male reaches out to female and east meets west. Here are some expressions you will encounter in her writings to illustrate this: "following irregularity in free associations as expressed by the patient is an essential tool in case-taking"; "if the therapist is no longer able to follow the patient this indicates they are close to the Source."
This book describes Irene's journey to uncovering the Source of disease as well as the Source of healing and is the result of the alchemic process that has taken place inside her when she crossed the boundaries of the prevailing material paradigm to enter a new spiritual one. A variety of fascinating cases are offered as examples of how in case-taking the patient can be led or followed to start expressing the Source directly.
What then is this Source? First of all, in the context of homeopathic practice, the Source indicates the substance which may heal the patient when prepared homeopathically. At the same time this substance is defined by Irene as the Source of the talents an individual is meant to express in life. In this sense the similimum is simultaneously the Source of healing and the Source from which the higher purpose of life is meant to unfold itself. What more exciting journey could a homeopath under take than the one leading to the very Source of an individual's being?
Using 24 remedy pictures of cosmic origin - such as Sol, Helium, Positronium, Meteorite, Brass, Volcano, Precious Stones, and Geyser - the author shows how we can accompany our patients on the journey into their unconscious and help them to name the Source of their remedy. This may even be a remedy that is so far unknown, yet which is nevertheless capable of bringing about profound healing, even in serious illness.
This is a carefully edited book published with hard cover and high printing quality and I can recommend it to any homeopath interested in exploring the boundaries of homeopathy.
