.. when you no longer feel comfortable with yourself for an extended period." Interview with the two vibration experts and bestselling authors

"We live in a time of excessive performance pressure and an increase in mental illnesses. Many people are no longer able to 'stay with themselves'; we observe a progressive theme of division, people feel less and less connected to each other, but rather in competition. Those seeking help for their psyche often have to wait up to a year or cannot find a therapy place at all. With the vibratory remedies of the fourth volume of the 'Homeopathic Symbol Pharmacy', we want to provide possible assistance to promote mental well-being." According to Christina Baumann and Roswitha Stark, authors of the successful "Homeopathic Symbol Pharmacy" series of guidebooks, in addition to homeopathic and spagyric remedies in symbol form, the new Bach flower symbols and special miasmatic remedies for collective themes can also provide important healing impulses for the psyche and mind.

The now fourth volume of the "Homeopathic Symbol Pharmacy" is dedicated to mental, emotional, and spiritual health. What motivated you to address this topic, and to which readers are you addressing your new book?

Christina Baumann: We are in a time of excessive performance pressure, feeling constantly stressed and overwhelmed, as well as an increase in mental illnesses, from burnout to depression to more severe psychological disorders. In addition, the so-called "Corona period" has clearly shown how devastating isolation, being locked up, and the feeling of being an outsider, or having to stand up against other opinions, can be. Especially children and adolescents, but also elderly people in homes who were not allowed visitors, are increasingly unwell today. One has to be very strong to "stay with oneself" nowadays and not become mentally ill. Unfortunately, many have become so. If you seek help for your psyche, you often have to wait up to a year to get a therapy place, or you cannot find a place at all. Here, we wanted to make a contribution to helping promote mental well-being.

The word "psyche" refers to the "totality of human feeling, sensation, and thought." The human psyche generally refers to the conscious and unconscious parts of the human mind or soul. The subconscious occupies a much larger space than the conscious, which can be well illustrated by the image of an iceberg.

Mental complaints are currently among the most common ailments. What exactly is understood by this, and why has there been such a dramatic increase in recent years?

Christina Baumann: What we observe is a progressing splitting theme, meaning that people feel less and less connected to and supported by others, and competitive thinking intensifies. But separation from others also always means a separation from oneself: from one's self-awareness, self-confidence, self-worth, self-respect, and independence. A strong dependence arises, also on media, many substitute gratifications, consumption, and constant self-propulsion to be worth something. The digital age creates role models that not everyone can live up to, and that is extremely exhausting. One quickly becomes an outsider and develops emotional pain.

Homeopathy, informational medicine, and healing with symbols have always gone far beyond mere symptom treatment. Why are these methods particularly suitable for treating emotional complaints and illnesses?

Roswitha Stark: For over 200 years, homeopathy has been an experiential medicine that shows good results in physical and mental matters. And it has always chosen remedies not simply according to the external symptom, but considers the person holistically in their manifold concerns, complaints, preferences, habits, and aversions. The so-called "mental symptoms" play a crucial role since Hahnemann; they are often decisive for the choice of remedy when several options are available. There are even homeopaths who make the choice solely based on this criterion, that's how important it is.

Even the first signs of psychological problems should be taken seriously, as these often represent the origin of later physical illnesses, organic disorders, or behavioral problems. How can so-called "mental symptoms" be identified, and how does one find the right remedy for treatment?

Roswitha Stark: The classical homeopath would conduct a rather detailed anamnesis here and consider many psychological-emotional sensitivities. Ultimately, a psycho-emotional illness begins when one simply no longer feels well with oneself and with others, or in one's profession or private life, for an extended period. Later, a stomach ulcer, insomnia, or permanent exhaustion leads one to think, "now I have to do something." First, the doctor comes, and the pill is supposed to numb the discomfort, but later that also no longer helps, and then people look for alternatives. And they end up with classical homeopathy or with us, who offer information medicine, i.e., healing impulses in the form of frequencies that suit the client. In our case, these are primarily symbol vibrations.

In addition to typical homeopathic and spagyric remedies for the psyche, you have for the first time also translated all Bach flowers as well as even miasmatic remedies into symbol form. What influenced you in this selection, and how can the symbols be used practically?

Roswitha Stark: For this book, we have on the one hand taken up several well-known homeopathic remedies that are particularly important for the topic of the psyche, e.g., essential trauma remedies such as Aconitum, Arnica or Opium. On the other hand, also less known, but very astonishing remedies that belong to spagyrics, such as Brassica nigra, Lavandula or Propolis. They can also become effective as potentiated homeopathic remedies. And for the first time, you will now also find all 38 Bach flowers and the well-known Rescue remedy, which have long been used as important soul companions, translated into symbol form. Many people had wished for this from us in recent years. Now we have fulfilled this wish and are very happy about it ourselves. The Bach flowers, with their gentle nature, are incredibly powerful forces and can set many things right in the mind and soul. We are amazed every day at what is possible.

The Bach flower Centaury is suitable for the good-natured, quiet and gentle person who, in tireless devotion, is there for others, but who is easily exploited by others. Its positive potential lies in greater assertiveness and self-confidence. One learns to say no without a bad conscience and to go through life with more self-determination.

The fact that symptoms can also be inherited from ancestors receives little attention in classical psychotherapy. What effects can a disturbed ancestral relationship have, and how are the mental complaints of already deceased persons treated?

Christina Baumann: In homeopathy, there are so-called "miasmic" remedies, which are remedies that take the collective into account, i.e., themes that many people carry with them in a similar way over a long period. This also shapes individual treatment, because the burden of the collective, for example, of ancestors, can lie like ballast on one's shoulders. We know the solution through connected fields, among other things from family constellations. For the topic of "mental disorders," we have provided four miasmatic remedies in symbol form that we consider essential; these also include, for example, psychological consequences of toxin influences, because not only organs but also thought and feeling react to poisons. This is about the healing of the individual through the interconnected collective field, without whose consideration harmful influences often cannot be adequately met, and a crucial part for causal healing would be missing.
