Sensation Method and New Provings

Summary

In provings, the energy of a substance can only be MIRRORED through a human being taking the potentized remedy. The patient is only mirroring an internal state drawn out in the process of case taking. Out of the mirrored symptoms we try to generate a picture/essence of the substance. So well proven or well-known remedies with lots of experiences of cures in patients are easy to understand. But how is this with new provings, new remedies? Only through cured patients can we learn the sensation of the patient who needs this specific remedy. An example is given of Lignum aquilaria agallocha which has the sensation: searching for CONNECTION due to the complete DISCONNECTION (on all levels: physical, emotional, mental).
