Let me ask you a question, when should the case end?
Should it end when the patient has said all that he had to say? Or when we are clear with the remedy?
When I thought about these questions I realized that the case taking will be complete when the patient is also involved in the healing process. Hence to advice the patient after the holistic centre is in front of us is also a pivotal aspect in making case taking complete and therapeutic.
During the Active-active case witnessing process this is what I do -
ACTIVE-ACTIVE Advice which is divided into 3 steps:
- Active-active 3 advices: here we ask them
- After the interview whatever you feel like doing mentally, or feel like eating or anything which you feel like doing make note of it
- Today and next 2 days spend 30minutes to 1 hour with yourself and see what more comes on the surface about you, your nature, past memories, dreams and make note of them
- Tonight if any dream comes make note of it
The ripples after the interview might bring on surface certain fear, dreams, or something of the subconscious might come up.
- The next is Designer’s Advice after the interview: here we ask the patient to
- Every 15days spend 1 hour to 30 minutes with yourself and see which activity you feel like doing, which you like, do that for around 1 hour, like walking, dancing, whichever is close to your heart, do that activity and after the activity see what comes up on the surface (it could be anything, any situation which you can remember, any deep thoughts) make note of it
- Depending on the patient’s center - And every 15 days- we ask him to do one activity depending upon the patients centre – for example -
Make a drawing, it could be any drawing, the image need not make sense, any drawing which naturally comes up, spontaneously draw it. And on the back side of the drawing write the idea and your feeling or perception about the drawing, your understanding of the drawing and make notes of it on the flip side of the drawing.
If the patient’s for whom story telling is comes up during the case in the centre, then I advice him to make a spontaneous story every 15 days.
- The next is The designer’s Unique Diary:
- Depending upon the centre of the individual we ask them to make their own individual personal diary, we ask them to make note of changes which they observe in themselves every 15 days at the physical level, make note of the dreams, any situations, imaginations, activities which have come up
- And making it more individualistic we give them more individual advice in which depending upon their centre we suggest them some activity or witnessing technique which will help them to revisit, relive their unique centre, help them visualize and be in that space and bring about a deeper healing and awareness in themselves. (following case illustration would help to understand this better)
Now the next question that comes to mind is what the importance of this individualistic advice is, how will it benefit us as healers and the patient?
- Post the interview when we ask the patient to be with himself and observe himself and make note of it, during the follow up these observations and data help us to confirm our understanding, helps us to see if this matches with the centre of the patient, this increases our surety of the similimum
- Occasionally one may observe that something new may come up like a new dream, or situation, imagination etc, this new data would act like a different area and help us in completing those cases in which we have not understood the centre during the first interview and help us to find similimum in those cases where we have been able to prescribe only a partial similimum.
- These advice makes the patient take responsibility of himself or herself in this healing journey
- Although the patient might come and tell us about the changes at the surface, but this kind of activity and advice helps us in understanding the depth of healing, as the subconscious is allowed to speak through these advices, the healing at deeper levels can be better understood with these observations.
- Also during the unique designers advice where we allow the patient to stay with that source or centre, as the individual keeps staying with his own centre or his own similimum energy repeatedly he or she will also become aware and be able to visualize for himself the changes at that deeper level
- As he or she will see him/herself more and more clearly and grow more with her inner self so also the activity which is in-tune with inner self will start surfacing and he or she will become more and more clear about this unique activity coming from that deeper source
- Being in tune with the centre, the activity which comes naturally and clearly we would also be able to guide him or her in depth towards that activity in future
