The miasms didn't become a focal point in my practice, or life, until a few years ago. As I danced with burnout and poor boundaries in my business, the Cancer miasm became a reflection for my suffering. It held up its mirror and said….

 

• Look at how you’re giving yourself away.

• Look at how much you’re carrying.

• Look at how critical you are of yourself, the standards you’re trying to meet.

• Look at how little trust you hold in yourself.

• Look at how disconnected you are from your intuition.

 

Carcinosin revealed the patterns that had gotten me to such a state, but that had also helped me survive. It taught me a new perspective on cancer and dis-ease, one that aligned with the paradigm I carry around symptoms in general. It dissolved my fears and showed me  empowerment - most of all it invited me to experience a new relationship with myself, my vital force, and my body.

​

What are Miasms?

Miasms are inherited, energetic imprints of disease that inform which symptoms we experience and how. They can be inherited from our ancestors or developed through suppression. They create your own personal flavour of susceptibility - answering the question: how do you express dis-ease?

​

The perspective of miasms being these layers that need clearing, that only create dis-ease, or even them being evil entities that have taken over the vital force, felt so disempowering. I never really knew why it didn't click until I started reading and learning from more modern authors, like Ian Watson, Sankaran, and Angelica Lemke: the general perspective on Miasms was still largely allopathic.

​

Even Hahnemann spoke about them in a way that mirrored the cut, burn, kill approach of the allopaths - that they were merely susceptibilities, evil that must be controlled.

​

Now I'm not throwing that away in full, but rather inviting wholeness back into the conversations. Why do miasms exist? How do they serve us? What are they here to teach us?

​

I've supported many cancer patients who have shown me how cancer has taught them about their needs and boundaries. I've watched a very psoric eczema transform one's deepest relationships with others. Syphillinum brings us closer to death, in all the best ways.

 

 I learn something new every time I indulge in the miasms - not just about the miasms, but about myself.  They reveal to me the patterns I’d long gone blind to, I was so enmeshed with them.
