We can be kind to others and still be incredibly hard on ourselves. Homeopath and meditation teacher Ann Manning shares how she learned to practise self-compassion and change the way she speaks to herself. We discuss the role of mindfulness, kindness, and common humanity, along with how to handle shame and self-criticism. Ann also explains why self-compassion isn’t about being soft on ourselves, but learning to respond with understanding while standing up for ourselves when needed.

Episode Highlights:

About my Guests:

Alongside her homeopathy work, Ann continued her meditation practice and served as a meditation teacher. In 2018, she discovered Mindful Self-Compassion, a practice that deeply resonated with her, leading her to complete the teacher training and begin teaching courses based on the program. She now teaches Mindful Self-Compassion and offers more intensive one-on-one training through Unravelling Unworthiness, which draws on self-compassion and related practices to help people develop a kinder relationship with themselves.

In 1992, he founded the homeopathic school in Prague, from which many Czech homeopaths graduated since then. In the year 2002, he discovered the usefulness of the autopathic principle (“the nearest similimum comes from the person treated”), invented a tool for reliable home preparation of autopathic dilution, and has been developing this method further during the following twenty years. He documented his findings in three books - Autopathy: A Homeopathic Journey to Harmony, Get Well with Autopathy, and Autopathy Handbook. The first article ever published on the topic appeared in the Homeopathic Links 2/2006 under the title: Autopathy: An Unknown Area of Homeopathy. He also published many articles in the journal Hpathy.com, which in 2022 gave him the Award Pioneer in Homeopathy Awards for Excellence in Homeopathy - Hpathy.com. He organizes regular seminars and webinars on autopathy.

Some homeopaths leave a lasting impression not only through their own work, but through the people and ideas they pass on, and Mary Glaisyer has certainly had that experience with Bruce Barwell. A former lecturer and longtime homeopath from New Zealand, Mary shares her memories of working alongside Bruce and the unusual way he approached cases and remedies. We talk about her book The Special Therapeutics of Bruce Barwell, how it brings together his clinical insights, and some of the lesser-known remedies featured in it. Mary also shares her own journey into homeopathy and how, at 74, she found a new outlet for her love of laughter and storytelling through stand-up comedy.

Episode Highlights:

About my Guests:

Who was Bruce Barwell?

My time with Bruce Barwell

What led me to compile “The Special Therapeutics of Bruce Barwell”?

How long did the work take you?

“Yes” “so just do 20 minutes.” So I did and gradually found the 20 minutes stretching and finally I finished the book. There were some funny moments. I was listening to a taped lecture and Bruce said, “ You may remember at the end of the last session I asked you for your religious affiliation – it turns out that in this group we have 3 Christians, 4 Buddhists, 2 Muslims, 4 humanists and a Sikh ( I am making up the numbers but you get the idea.) There was then a pause. Then Bruce said, “ So we will not be beginning the session with a prayer.”

Another time I was listening to a tape and transcribing it. Bruce asked the group to remind him of a mineral water remedy he had used. There was a silent pause punctuated only by my loud interjection in the privacy of my study. “Skookumchuck” I called out. Then Bruce resumed his lecture, “ No it’s not Skookumchuck” Bruce said drily. I nearly jumped out of my skin!

Some remedies that I have used by referring to the book:

Bovista – patient after general anaesthetic, feeling flat, no energy, super tired but not sleeping, can’t get to sleep until 1am, wakes 2.30am and takes a while to get back to sleep, coated white tongue. For after anaesthetic he lists: Strontium Carb, Bovista, Carbo Veg and Phosphorus. My patient did not want company nor fresh air. Bovista picked her up very quickly. 

Bruce taught that Pulsatilla isn’t just useful in turning a breech baby in utero but could be used for tortion of any body part – he had success with twisted testicles and I suggested Pulsatilla high to someone whose stomach was twisted – a most unusual thing – they opened her up and found that the stomach had returned to normal.

I have a protocol which I would like to share because it works so well. It’s for broken bones. You do it for a fortnight. I have had nothing but positive feedback for this protocol which you start once the bone has been set.

Symphytum 9. This is Comfrey and the 9th potency recommended by Misha Norland – he said it had an affinity for the etheric. You take this twice a day.

Calc Phos 6x – a tissue salt. This you take twice a day. So you wake up and take a Symphytum, then at about 11am two pills of New Era Calc Phos, then mid afternoon another Symphytum and at bedtime two more pills of Calc Phos.

If you experience pain - Eupatorium Perfoliatum 30. This was Bruce’s suggestion. Story of my husband.

Some protocols may be useful but the way I generally work is to take the case and find the single remedy that the patient needs at that particular time.  Indivdualisation is the keystone of homeopathy. Story of shingles patient.
