Rajan Sankaran is the originator of the ‘Sensation Method’, which has given fresh tools to the practice of homoeopathy in the twenty-first century. His revolutionary concepts – such as Levels of Experience, Vital Sensation and Kingdom Classification – and techniques such as following the energy pattern of the patient, working with hand gestures and using doodles are now being taught and practiced throughout the world. 

Though there is much that is new in the understanding of disease, the approach to the patient and to the remedy, the method as practiced by Rajan himself actually seamlessly integrates new ideas and approaches with the old, where knowledge of remedy and of kingdom; of symptoms and of systems, complement each other and take the homoeopath to a point where there is no difference. 

When we study Lachesis from our Materia Medica and we read symptoms like sensitivity around the throat, tongue darting in and out, extra sensory perception, sensitivity to extremes of heat and cold etc., are we not hearing the voice of the snake? The knowledge of Lachesis from our Materia Medica helps us to understand snakes; similarly an understanding of snakes helps us see Lachesis more clearly and we can see it as a part of a group of reptiles. When we do that our vision goes to other members of the group and the possibilities for a closer prescription increase, our remedy selection is so much more exact. 

This applies in equal measure to plant families and the study of the rows and columns of the periodic table in the mineral kingdom. The study of individual remedies gives us the idea of the whole group to which they belong and this understanding does enhance, broaden and deepen our understanding of other remedies of the group, both well known and lesser known. This exponentially expands the possibilities for and scope of remedies.

We are able to deliver a truly homoeopathic cure to many more than we could earlier.

Rajan sees his work as a deepening and widening of traditional homeopathy and not as a replacement to it. A firm foundation in the Repertory, Materia Medica and the Organon is at the basis of this. Without such a foundation a new student can be carried away.

A need was felt to have a dedicated forum that brings the reality of practice to the student in a very systematic way. Practice, that integrates and sees as one, and uses the both the old and the new. Who could shared this better than the originator of the idea himself? With the advancement of communication technologies and availability of sophisticated software and web sites, it has become possible to reach out face-to-face across miles on the globe to those who would wish to access such information.
