Report of Dr. Dhiraj
Nanda’s workshop at Bhopal on Understanding Miasms at
the level of Mind through video clips
On 08/03/2009 SAAHAS (Society of Advanced Homoeopathic
Sciences) in collaboration with NLES (New Life
Educational Society, Bhopal) organized ‘One day workshop
on understanding miasms at the level of mind through
video clips at TTTI, Shyamala Hills, Bhopal.
The program started with lighting up of lamp by the
dignitaries, Chief Guest Dr. Hitesh Vajpayee (President,
BJP, Medical Wing, M.P), Chairman of inaugural ceremony
Dr. T. M. Khan (President, BJP, Medical Wing, M.P), Dr.
Dhiraj Nanda, Dr. Mohd. Zakariya (Organising President),
Dr. Smita Nambison (President, SAAHAS), Dr. Chanchal
Jain (Organising Secretary), & Dr. Nisanth Nambison
(Designer or Digital Doctor) were present on the dias.
Dr. Hitesh Vajpayee lauded the vast experience &
difficult cases treated by Dr. Nanda & appealed to the
200 odd doctors present at the occasion to ardently
learn the technique developed by Dr. Nanda.
Dr. Nanda started the topic of miasms with comparing
simple observations that one experiences in day to day
life like a situation where a stranger who is able to
identify your child by his resemblance to you to a
situation where somebody has not been able to identify
this relation. Certain diseases run in a family. You
suffer from disease that no one in your family had.
Brothers differ so greatly not only in their appearance
but also in their behavior in spite of being brought up
in the same environment. Two sisters suffer from totally
different diseases. One may possess a trait or a taste
or an attitude that may be totally different from his
parents and other siblings. These and other simple
things that we see around us are due to the effect of
miasms.
Man has a habit to attribute a cause to everything
displeasing happening in our body. He searches the cause
that has affected his health outside his body. With
advancement in the technology, came the time for
studying disease with respect to what is happening
inside our body. Studies started from macroscopic level
and then went to details of microscopic level. On
microscopic level the medical science attributed the
cause of diseases to germs or microbes found by
microscopic studies. Now it is being attributed to the
genes, then why do identical twins have different
behaviour and diseases? Again the answer is ‘Miasms’.
After introducing many day to day observations in
relation to miasms Dr. Nanda explained the behavior of
people faced with an adverse situation or an emergency
in relation to miasm with the first video clip of the
seminar.
The introduction was followed by explanation of some
excerpt from Dr. Hahnemann’s Chronic Diseases. Nobody is
perfect. Just look and observe people around us. If we
try to observe different people that we know we realize
that how different are they from each other and from
perfection. This is result of effect of miasms on
previous generations. So we see that miasms are present
in every individual. This was explained with help of
video of coke for everyone.
After this Dr. Dhiraj Nanda explained the basic traits
and reactions of a mind with domination of different
miasms with the help of six video clips. These clips
were collected from different countries and include
advertisements, campaigns, and movie clips.
The commonest reaction to an aggressive situation in
Psora is inhibition which gives rise to anxiety. The
commonest personality trait of mind dominated by miasm
Psora is timidity. Psora is deficiency or lack or
inhibition. There is inhibition in most of the responses
and expression.
Sycosis is excess and disorders of multiplication i.e.
appearance is changed from what it actually should be.
The commonest reaction to an aggressive situation is
fear resulting in flight response. The commonest
personality trait due to Sycosis is ostentation.
Syphilis is perversion and degeneration. There is
perversion and destruction in most of the responses and
expression. The commonest reaction to an aggressive
situation in Syphilis is aggression with destruction.
The commonest personality trait due to Syphilis is
aggression and terror.
After explaining the basic traits and reactions of a
mind with domination of different miasms Dr. Nanda
talked on observing these traits. This section had
another six video clips where traits and reactions of
dominant miasm can be observed. This was followed by
first video clip test for the gathering. The test was to
find out the man with domination of Psora, Sycosis and
Syphilis at the level of mind in a video clip featuring
three men in men’s toilet, each one representing
different miasm.
Proceeding in more details after the first test, Dr.
Nanda showed the advertisement to explain the journey of
life. He further explained journey of diseases – acute &
chronic. This was followed explanation of excerpt from
Dr. Hahnemann’s book on chronic disease with regard to
journey of chronic diseases. He further mentioned some
examples of physio-pathological manifestations from Dr.
P. S. Ortega in relation to miasm. After this he
explained of expressions of mind with domination of
Psora. He explained that key word for psora is
inhibition, forms the basis of all the reactions. He
emphasized that at the level of mind in psora miasm it
is only reaction that is inhibited and it does not make
the individual deficient mentally or physically, in no
way the patient is deficient structurally or
emotionally. Talking on Sycosis he explained that key
word for Sycosis is ostentation. Ostentation means
appearing or claiming to be one thing when it is really
something else. As both excess and less can be
ostentious, sycosis can be both excess as well as
deficient. It is presenting something different than
what actually it is that gives to escapism in testing
times. Dr. Nanda explained that in perversion and
destruction are the key words in expression of mind
dominated by Syphilitic miasm. Aggression is expression
of Syphilis. Impulsive and violent expressions and
reactions belong to Syphilis miasm. This section also
had another six video clips where expressions of
dominant miasm can be observed. This was followed by
second video clip test for the gathering. This video
clip was from a Hindi movie with three main characters,
a student, a bus driver and a chief-minister. The test
was to find out the dominating miasm at the level of
mind for these three characters.
In the post-lunch session Dr. Nanda explained different
behavior patterns at the level of mind in respect to ten
common adverse stimuli (situations / reactions) in
patients with domination of different miasms at mind
level. Most of these reactions were explained with the
help of videos or photographs.
During the seminar Dr. Sushama assisted Dr. Nanda and
presented cases treated by Dr. D. Nanda where mind
symptoms were analyzed to understand the dominating
miasm. Cancer of larynx, hepatitis, lymphangioma of left
eye, severe mental retardation and congenital biliary
atresia were some important cases presented during the
seminars.
During the evening session Dr. Dhiraj Nanda showed how
the advertisements of same products differ in different
countries depending upon the miasm dominating the
population of that country.
Dr. D. Nanda made the delegates (students, teachers,
practitioners) understand the concept of miasms at the
level of mind in treating a patient as an individual.
This innovative method of teaching through video clips
and relating them to the Miasms and how the miasms act
in every part of life kept about 200 delegates who
attended the seminar glued to their seats from morning
till late evening. |
