Practitioner Blog Post Same Song, Every Cell: Minerals: The Conductor of the Frequency of Life

Our bodies are made up of approximately 4 to 5% inorganic elements:
The inorganic elements “the true minerals” in the body are divided into two groups:
Macro minerals (needed in larger amounts): Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, Chloride and Sulphur.
Trace minerals (needed in very small amounts): Iron, Zinc, Copper, Selenium, Manganese, Iodine, Chromium, Molybdenum, Fluoride and Cobalt.
Then there are the toxic / heavy metals (also inorganic elements, but ones with no beneficial biological function): Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Arsenic, Aluminium and Nickel, Antimony, Uranium and Beryllium.
The 4 to 5% of inorganic elements are absolutely essential: these elements are involved in virtually every bodily function, from bone structure and nerve signalling to oxygen transport and enzyme activity.
The remaining makeup of the body, the organic elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen: forms roughly 95 to 96% of body mass and form an extraordinary complexity of water, proteins, lipids, enzymes, hormones, neurotransmitters and even the trillions of microbiome organisms that share our biology. Yet without the 4 to 5% inorganic element foundation in balance, all of this becomes like an orchestra without a conductor: every instrument present, but incapable of producing anything resembling harmony.
The same truth holds across all living things. The animal and the plant, different as they appear, share this same 4% inorganic element foundation and are governed by the same mineral principle, drawing these essential elements from food, water and soil to animate their extraordinary inner complexity of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen. Without it, that complexity plays on, but without order, without fulfilling purpose and without harmony and balance.
The mineral energetic imprint, their frequency, sings the song of life for us. So, it makes sense that when there's an imbalance, the impact is so profound as we are interacting/resonating with them all the time and it’s why patients so often need a mineral remedy to help restore homeostasis.
In Homeopathy, we hold space for the remedy state to speak. The non-human expression possessing the patient reveals itself, and through consultations we observe, listen and analyse, gathering what we need to pass the remedy back, matching the energetic pattern to the person in front of us. HTMA is another tool that helps us hold space for the energy to speak.
I've been using HTMA testing for a number of years with some patients, particularly where toxic elements, nutritional deficencies or obstacles to cure may be present. After undertaking several courses, I became aware that I wasn't using the results to their fullest potential. Partly through lack of understanding, but also because we don't always truly recognise the constant interaction our bodies have with minerals, or the energetic imprint that carries and the significance that has in prescribing.
What is expressed at the smallest part is being expressed by the whole
Expressed at every level from the smallest particle to higher consciousness and the vital force itself, from cellular activity to the human body functioning as its own individual cell everything in that energy field vibrating at the same frequency.
The person is doing psychologically exactly what the element does cellularly, the pattern repeating at every scale. Each level aligns: thematic, sensational, mental, emotional, physical.
This is where we see a full-loop experience. The cellular activity/energetic pattern and how it behaves revealed through the gift of a HTMA can mirror the psychological and “constitutional” picture we use in homeopathic prescribing. Again, what we see in HTMA results is that the elements at a cellular level, is embodied by the person and expresses at every other level.
If we understand the cellular energetic pattern, how it behaves, we understand the whole.
This is methodology is not about replacing Homeopathic instincts or principles, this connects the Homeopathic understanding and symptomology of a patient to the biochemistry. HTMA shows you the impact the imbalance of elements is having on the energetic state.

Approach the elements with curiosity. They have much to teach us. Catherine
