Thanks for inviting me.Alexandra: Oh, my pleasure. So why don’t you give us a little background?Tell us a bit about yourself and how you came to came across the Three Principles.Ian: I really have followed my own interests, which took me initially into alternative healing. As a teenager, I started with Bach flower remedies. And that led me into herbs and homeopathy. Homeopathy became my career for at least 15 years, I was a practitioner.Also, I became interested in the training side. So I started running a homeopathy training school, wrote some books became reasonably well known, I suppose, in that field, and assumed that would be my life’s work really. I love homeopathy still do.To my surprise, working with a lot of clients over time, I started to see that sometimes people come with a physical health problem. But it turns out to be the entry ticket. And there’s other things going on which once you get to know the person, as you will know, they start to reveal more about what their internal struggles are the other things going on with that in their life. I started to feel that there were other ways that I’d like to help people but I didn’t know what they were. I sometimes felt that the purely homeopathic approach that I knew, wasn’t addressing everything that could be addressed.And just in general terms, to say what I mean by that, sometimes I would work with people it felt like we were both pushing a rock up a hill, and not getting very far. Like they were working really hard. They were doing all the right things, I was doing my best to find the remedies that will help them. And my inner sense was nothing much is really changing on a deep level. We were moving things around.Contrasting that I would see some people who literally first interview or very in a relatively short period of working together, something would seem to shift for them quite quickly. And they’d be on their way. They might still come to me for occasional support, but it’s very different experience. I got curious about that. You know what,
