Seminar by dr. Jonathan Hardy - ONLINE
Friday the 21st of November and Saturday the 22th of November 2025
Magnetism, Light and Volcanoes; continuing our exploration of the Imponderable remedies
We will briefly revise the characteristics of the Imponderable group as a whole: extreme trauma, abandonment, depersonalization, power and energy, feeling universal consciousness but having to hide one’s light, and the polarities of good and evil, black and white and light and darkness. The fundamental duality in an Imponderable case is the desire to be immaterial, energy and moving in contrast with the painfully opposite feeling of dense materiality and immobility - a feeling of ultimate expansion and power and the polar opposite experience of extreme contraction and helplessness.
These remedies are for some of our most severely traumatized and incapacitated patients. But the healing can be rapid and deep when an Imponderable remedy is the simillimum.
Magnetism
For years Jonathan wanted to see a magnet case, but it was only after thirtyeight years of practice that he recognized his first case. In the next year he saw nearly twenty magnet cases. Originally proved by Samuel Hahnemann himself, our existing materia medica does not clearly reveal the inner state experienced by magnet patients.
The Imponderable desire for freedom of movement is felt as flow, but one’s energy can feel as if being drained, pulled and dragged from the body. There is a compensatory desire to pull the energy back in, to hold oneself together to avoid dissolving and melting into a formless state. But this leads to a painful experience of extreme density and immobility. The sense of polarity can be so strong as to create a feeling of being upside down, or inside out and of flipping from one state to its polar opposite. We will study this dramatic inner sensation, illustrated by many video cases and learn how to differentiate the various magnet remedies. Perhaps the remarkable frequency of presentation of magnet cases recently relates to the greatly increased polarization in the state of consciousness in the world today.
Light
People needing light remedies have a quality of radiance. They can have a joyful, loving and warm personality by which those around them feel nourished and uplifted. They can feel a yearning to be free of material consciousness and suffer from the downward pull and heaviness of living on Earth. They share the plant patient’s sensitivity to, and love of sunlight.
We will see case of a number of fascinating light remedies, including Ultraviolet Light, Laser Beam, Spectrum, Lux Stella Polaris and Sunlight.
Volcanoes
We have eight remedies prepared from volcanic lava, ash and rock. Imponderable remedies are made from the fundamental forces and powers which structure and sustain the material world. Volcanoes are part of the mighty formative forces of our planet.
The common Imponderable desire for movement is expressed as flow. The negative state is a solidity experienced as hardness and expressed as harshness, especially towards one’s family. There is a feeling of needing to contain a violently explosive energy which threatens danger to both one’s own body and to those around us.
We will see cases of lava from Mounts Etna and Kilauea, ash from Mount Hecla, and the gem remedy Obsidian.

He became a member of the Faculty of Homeopathy in 1988 and since then has worked fulltime on the south coast of England as a Homeopathic doctor.
Jonathan practices classical Homeopathy, combining the time-tested traditional techniques with the exciting new methods developed by the well-known Homeopathic teachers of the twenty-first century. In particular the work of Rajan Sankaran and Jan Scholten has been important in his practice. Learning and applying knowledge of the themes which run through the various kingdoms and remedy groups is a fundamental method in his practice.
