Over the years after some extensive research into the repertorization process and making many mistakes, I could come to a stage where the process has become much easier. I want to share some hints that have helped me over the years to ensure that one can take the best possible rubrics that are represented in a case.
I will explain this through a case example so you can understand the subtle differences in the type of rubrics chosen, what to take and what not to take in a given patient.
Don't forget to put your thoughts on what you think about this in the discussion forum below.

Just want to say Shilpa ~ a very clear and helpful description on how you found this remedy ( of which I have never used yet in 30 year s) I hope that a case comes my way now ~ all very exciting !
Shilpa Bhouraskar Nov. 13, 2013, 11:33 a.m.
Yes it is one of those remedies that needs to be a polycrest but isn't. I look forward to your experiences.
Sarah Daniel Nov. 12, 2013, 11:01 p.m.
Thanks for going through this case, Shilpa. As you described the dynamics of this emotional sensitivity leading to a diversion into pleasant fantasy I said to myself, I wonder if this could possibly be Pip-m? I have had some success with this remedy and have found that people who need it tend to be almost incapable of solving big problems in their lives (like real happiness at work, or what to do about health problems, or what to do about a relationship) because as soon as they get a signal that something isn't just right, they look away. Can't help it. It's an instantaneous response. I'm very happy to have seen this case of yours; it deepens my learning about how the remedy state might express itself physically, and how the case can be translated into the rubrics so the picture of which remedy is best comes clear.

Thank you for posting such a beautiful wonderful case! You have no idea how much I just learned from you about kava kava. So, I approach homeopathy from a different perspective. In addition to being a homeopath, I am also a pharmacist and a hypnotherapist. I'm also a medical intuitive. My intuitive gifts are auditory, so usually within the first few minutes of someone giving me their case, if their problem stems from a past life trauma, I know what it is. (I do a lot of past life regression in my practice.) I am so glad that the kava kava works so well. I have never studied that remedy, and it makes me think that perhaps kava kava is a wonderful remedy for helping the person forget their past life traumas. I can't wait to read more about the natural history of that remedy. So, I will tell you what I got in the first minute - he was a dog in his past life. He had a wonderful life, and loved the family he was with. His dreams reflect the happy memory of his past life - laying on a lawn, and dreaming of chasing rabbits - his favorite past time.
After they dragged him away by the neck, they shot him in the head- in the temple. They were trying to protect their children - thinking that if he bit an adult, he might bite the children. But he was protecting the children, and he got shot. It was such a shock for him that he carried it with him into his next life.
I am so happy that the kava kava worked! You have given him back his joy and allowed him to live free and happy again. The only thing I would have done differently is that sensing that he had a past life trauma, I would have removed the trauma first with a past life regression so he wouldn't aggravate. (Aggravations are often caused from past life traumas.) But you can always do a past life regression at any time, to remove any subconscious trauma and allow him to get the learning of his past life as a dog!
I have to be honest, I am so sensitive to pain and trauma that I had to turn off the video several times! In fact, I almost didn't listen to the rest of the case, but if I hadn't, I never would have learned that Kava kava helps a person forget their past lives so they can move forward with joy and happiness in their current life. What a wonderful remedy.
I had a hard time listening to him suffer, when he saw his fellow animal friends being butchered, but I'm glad I listened to the entire case, because if I hadn't, I would have never learned about the wonderful useful properties as kava kava on past life traumas!
Kava kava is probably a wonderful remedy for homoepathic physicians, because they have so many people coming to see them, and they don't have time to do a past life regression on everyone with a past life trauma.
Thank you Shilpa, for teaching such a wonderful case, and for teaching me so much about the wonderful properties of kava kava!
Shilpa Bhouraskar Nov. 14, 2013, 11:20 a.m.
Thanks for sharing your insight and offering a fascinating perspective to the case. I have never done or seen past life regression therapy so I will definitely have a read of Brian's work.

Good analysis of the case giving a nice understanding of the drug.
Prabhas Mishra May 18, 2018, 12:07 a.m.
It was great Shilpa! I understood the case analysis shared by you. It is really very enriching.
My concern can we not take a rubric like Ailments; grief after here along with other rubrics considered by you.
A year and a half ago, a new client Johanne White walked through the doors of Body Harmonics. She was petite and a bit nervous, but seemed dedicated to using movement therapy to help heal her body.
Within a few months, we began seeing more and more of her. We had many conversations in passing and over time I had the chance to learn more about her incredible story and how Body Harmonics was helping her overcome physical and emotional pain. I asked if she’d be willing to do an interview and share her story with others. She agreed.
This is definitely a must-read for anyone in pain. Johanne’s commitment and dedication to healing is incredible. She’s gone out on many limbs and overcome many obstacles. Below is just a small piece of Johanne’s fascinating story. I encourage you to spend a few minutes to read this interview I had with her and pass this on to anyone else you feel may benefit from reading it.
Larisa: What brought you to Body Harmonics?
Johanne: Oh my, that’s a long story! Before I came to Body Harmonics, my body systems were shutting down and the doctors couldn’t figure out why. They thought I had Multiple Sclerosis, but it wasn’t it. My entire spine was rotated and had damaged my joints, muscles, ligaments and nerves. This compromised my central nervous system and sense of balance when doing even simple day-to-day activities.
I underwent several surgeries to repair damaged joints and the surgeries caused more damage and rotation to my body. I began to see a neuromuscular dentist, Dr Susan Huxtable. She was great! Dr. Huxtable did an assessment with me and determined a course of treatment that would “unrotate” the spine and provide stability to C1 (top of my cervical spine) which should improve alignment in the body. For many, this may sound a bit unfamiliar and strange as a treatment option, but it really made sense to me so I followed my gut and trusted the process.
I also worked with Dr Tania Siquiera a NUCCA Chiropractor to help shift my spine while Dr Huxtable used dental orthotics to support my skeletal system and move me towards alignment.
The first year I wore an orthotic on my lower jaw and it was modified weekly. Once I was more mobile I was ready to take the next step and find a safe movement and strength-building program. I knew without this my body would not heal as quickly or effectively.
I chose Body Harmonics for my movement and strength training part of my rehabilitation because of the specialization in Neurological programming. I’m so happy I made the right choice.
Larisa: Tell me about the journey you’ve taken at the studio. What programs and services have you used? What’s your experience been? How has it worked with your other treatments and therapies?
Johanne: At first I started with Physiotherapy once per week. After the first month, I was able to add a couple Pilates privates to my weekly routine. A month later, I was done with Physiotherapy and was able to do four Pilates privates per week. It was a lot, but I was motivated to get strong. And I was making progress.
Another month later, I began attending Core Essentials. It’s a spine-safe class that moves slowly and really helps you feel your core. Another month after that, magic happened and I tried a Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) session at the Body Harmonics clinic and was completely blown away. Naturally, I added that to my weekly routine as well.
My next step was to have Dr Huxtable operate on my tongue. It was tied and holding my body in a rotational pattern. This was another way to release and continue shifting my body into better alignment. I continue to undergo weekly adjustments with Dr Huxtable and a cranial sacral practitioner, Jennifer Bond the (both these practitioners are external to Body Harmonics).
Just recently I was able to add a few more group Pilates classes to my weekly routine. It feels so fantastic to keep moving forward on this strength-building journey.
One last piece to my puzzle, is Pilates teacher training. I’ve done a lot of work on myself and about a year into my journey at Body Harmonics, I took some educational workshops offered to Pilates teachers. From these workshops I learned so much I decided to take it a step further. A couple months ago, I enrolled in the Pilates teacher training and certification program. Perhaps one day soon I’ll be able to teach and give back to people.
Larisa: You’ve been on a healing journey for a long time now. What would you say is the biggest difference you’ve experienced at Body Harmonics from other clinics you’ve been to?
Johanne: They keep saying it, but Body Harmonics really does have an integrated approach to wellbeing. I’ve worked with many different practitioners and instructors at the studio and it was the first time that everybody I was working with communicated about what was going on in my body. All the Body Harmonics staff, Dr. Huxtable and Jennifer Bond were all on the same page about my progress, collaborated with each other and knew what steps to take next.
Also, both Dr Huxtable and Jennifer Bond have come for Pilates and MAT sessions. They’ve become raving fans and refer clients to Body Harmonics. This means the world to me.
I’ve fallen apart in the past when my past practitioners didn’t communicate and nobody was there to catch me. I’m so blessed my body healing team is now able to communicate openly for my wellbeing. Coming to Body Harmonics, everyone helped me feel safe, supported and strong. My blood is flowing freely and my feet are looking normal for the first time in years. These may seem like silly things to some, but are a HUGE deal to me!
Larisa: That’s great. Some of the smallest seeming things can make the biggest differences to out bodies and wellbeing.
Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) is not a practice that many people are familiar with. Tell me a bit about it and what it’s done for your healing process.
Johanne: Oh my goodness! It’s pretty amazing stuff.
First of all, my MAT practitioner SueAnne is the absolute best. My body is hypermobile and constantly changing. When I start an MAT session, my pelvis is usually rotated and I have pressure in my spine. Also, when my dental orthotics are adjusted that really affects me. I’m really sensitive to any twists, kinks and imbalances in my body. When this happens I experience a lot of pain.
SueAnne starts our sessions by taking a look at me and doing some muscles tests. This let’s her know what muscles are strong and which are weak. She uses touch, pressure and careful isometric exercises to help ‘turn on’ my muscles. As she works on me, the muscles in my body get rebalanced, my nervous system settles and I feel lighthearted.
One crazy story is that I had severe stenosis in my cervical spine (neck) and my doctor wanted to fuse it. SueAnne did some work on the muscles at the top of my cervical spine at C1/C2 and they released. After that, my spine healed on it’s own and no surgery was required. Imagine that?
Some days we work on my pelvis, other days on my spine, neck or feet. Even when she works the muscles in my finger it can affect how my neck and shoulders feel. It’s mind-blowing. SueAnne & MAT really supports the massive changes my body goes through every day. This sets me up for success.
By the end of my MAT sessions, my muscles fatigue like I’ve been working out. Although my muscles are tired and worked, they’re not stressed. It feels like my body gains strength and my body knows how to hold itself together.
Straightening out and rebalancing my body has improved my posture and digestive system. I’ve also got feelings in my body where I haven’t in 30 years. Without M.A.T, my rehab would be a lot slower and I’d be in a lot more pain.
Larisa: I’m so happy you’ve had such great success with MAT. It’s sounds like something everybody should learn more about!
Let’s go back to Pilates. What’s that journey been like?
Johanne: We all hear that the body needs to stay strong to function, but I really saw firsthand how much my body loves to move and how much my muscles love to be stimulated. Sometimes things take time to click for me, but I know if I can feel or sense something once, even a little something, it can heal.
My Pilates sessions not only make me strong in my body, but present little challenges for my brain. I like to learn and think and am excited to be able to have this extra stimulation. I’m like a kid in a candy store.
I walk out of the studio with my head up and a spring in my step. My balance is better and I’m not nearly as afraid of falling. It’s terrific and I feel so much more confident.
Something that was a bit surprising is how in-tune everyone is about the body and how it works. And they’re excited to share with me. I’ve learned a lot about anatomy, biomechanics and fun facts. For example, two great ways to help stimulate my pelvic floor are by putting my tongue on the roof of my mouth or working the arches of my feet. It’s a great example of how Pilates works my body from head to toe!
Larisa: You’re now doing several classes a week in addition to your other therapies and Pilates private sessions. Tell me about that.
Johanne: Going to class was a bit scary at first, but is now exciting. I’m actually doing 4 intermediate level group classes on the mat and Pilates machines. Doing a lot of privates has taught me a lot about what my body should be doing and feeling.
Larisa: What else would you like to share with our readers?
Johanne: I feel incredibly blessed to have such an amazing team supporting me: SueAnne, Andrea, Jocelyne, Danielle, Elizabeth, the front desk and everyone else I get to work with are top notch. It’s only been a year and a half and I’ve come so far in the gains I’ve made.
Some of the words to describe what I have experienced from everyone I’ve worked with are gracious, supportive, positive, encouraging, knowledgeable, above and beyond, accommodating, passionate, learning, sharing, uplifting, fun, laughter, joy, bliss and tons of love! I could go on, but I think you get the point.
I’ve also found an amazing community of people at Body Harmonics. I spend a lot of time there and have made many friends with clients and instructors. We speak about classes, go for coffee and even teacher training workshops together. It’s so amazing to spend time with like-minded people who are health conscious and interested in learning and bettering themselves in each in their own way. I’m happy to celebrate this special place.
I hope everyone has a chance to experience Body Harmonics. Come for a class, try a private session or check them out online to connect with the gifts they offer the world. They really do care and I hope you get a chance to experience the power of Body Harmonics for yourself.
I’m so happy you interviewed Johanne. I had asked her many moons ago if she’d be willing to share her story and she had said yes. I’m very glad it happened. The progress I’ve seen Johanne make has been truly remarkable. She is a beautiful strong woman inside and out and I hope this story can help others find hope.
What an inspiring story. So glad that Johanne found BODY HARMONICS. Her persistence and discipline are also key ingredients to her transformation. Congratulations both!
Johanne, it is amazing to see how far you have come! You always bring such a positive attitude with you to the studio. You show that anyone can achieve their goals once they put their mind to it, I look forward to seeing you teaching soon!!
This week’s cover captures the full spectrum of color found in our East End landscape. No stranger to Dan’s Papers covers, Keith Mantell continues to evolve his artistic practice. “Shard of Light” (2016, oil on linen) exemplifies Mantell’s fluid ability to seamlessly transition between gently abstracted landscapes and figurative works. From his home on the North Fork, Mantell gives us insight into the vision behind his paintings.
What’s your painting process like?
Usually I like to paint en plein air, so I’ll drive around and look for spots—sometimes I drive around and find something I think looks good and then the next day, come back and decide that it’s not so great. Sometimes when I have my camera I’ll shoot something and then decide to come back to it. This [photograph], in particular, is a field somewhere in Southold. That day I wasn’t painting on site, so I came home and three months later came across it. I look for sections of the photograph that work and then crop it to create what I want to work with.
I’m teaching a class at the East End Arts Council in June and it’s about process and inspiration. I’m going to be teaching my way of doing it. If you’re a painter, you can incorporate some of the ideas into your own work. Sometimes, when I go out and paint, the view isn’t really great, so it’s almost like Photoshopping in your head. I thread images in my head together and work on the painting that way. It’s about looking and then remembering what the sensation or value was, in your head, that day. In the end, the painting has to work, it’s not just a matter of replicating what you see in front of you.
The execution matters, too, so you have to know what you’re doing. I always tell people to keep looking at art, from both living and dead artists—all kinds—decorative, abstract. You have to see how they do things, then you begin to pickup little tidbits.
The clouds in the cover image are so lifelike and yet not traditional in the sense of how you usually see clouds in paintings—how did you do these?
Clouds are really hard to do. But you can paint anything as long as you understand where it is in space. A cloud is a form, but somehow it loses its form, so I take the edge of the cloud and play with that. The clouds in this painting I played around with a lot to get them to do something, to not be a dead element. You’re trying to get the painting to have a feeling—a certain day and a certain time. Slick, juicy, not heavy, not loaded…I want the paint to work, teeter on reality and abstract.
Is “Shard of Light” typical of your style?
I like the figure—I love doing that. My style is my language. I think everybody has their own. Everything I’ve ever looked at is filtered through me, and in painting it’s the same thing—style changes, it grows, it’s always evolving. You grow, learn, you change. I’m not the same as I was a week ago.

Víznar IV (Llanos de Corbera), Granada. 17/18.8.1936, 4:45, 400 victims, among them the poet Federico García Lorca, the school teacher Dióscoro Galindo and the anarchists Francisco Galadí and Joaquín Arcollas.
Barranco del Carrizal II, Órgiva, Granada. 11.8.1936 Manuel López López, deputy mayor of Lanjarón, and his sons Antonio, Félix were shot by the Guardia Cívil and Falangists and disappeared in this ravine. On 27.8.1936 a third son, Miguel, was murdered a bit futher down the valley.Víznar II (Barranco de Víznar), Granada. 2.11.1936, the pharmacist and feminist Milagro Almenara Pérez was shot together with Rosario Fregenal Píñar, Rosa Segura Calero and Concha Pertíñez Tabasco.
In this place there were open wells and a shooting range during the years of repression. There may be 400 victims in these wells, among them the poet Federico García Lorca, the school teacher Dióscoro Galindo and the anarchists Francisco Galadí and Joaquín Arcollas. It is a wasteland with the land removed since 1998 when the socialist mayor of Alfacar wanted to make a soccer field in this place where the remains of Lorca were supposed to lie.
Excellent pilates studio quality. Comes nearly fully assembled so the final set up is very simple. And the customer service from this company is outstanding! I am so glad I bought it!
What you really need to be prepared for when ordering: This will arrive in a wooden crate, so you will need to dispose of that which isn’t quite as simple as a cardboard box. It’s not a big heavy cumbersome crate, it’s really a nicely designed box that is no more than what is needed for the reformer. The shipper will only move the crate as far as they can with a pallet jack… so that means you need to be able to store it or uncrate it pretty much right away… which does take some planning – you’ll need some tools to get the crate open, once unassembled parts and the glider is removed the frame is about 120 lbs, so you’ll need two reasonably strong people to move it to where it’s going. If there are stairs involved make sure you measure well before purchase – while it’s very low profile it is very long. Once you’ve got the frame where you want it, finally assembly is a breeze and I would not bother with the “expert assembly” option, particularly since they won’t move it for you.
Thank you!! Great quality and love the padding!
