| Begabati Lennihan,
R.N., CCH*, Director, Teleosis
School of Homeopathy, is a 1974 Phi Beta Kappa graduate
of Harvard who has spent 30 years in different aspects of
holistic health care. For 16 years she owned a health food
store, where she first began working with homeopathic remedies
in 1981. She 
began studying homeopathy professionally in 1995 with Dr.
Luc De Schepper, and with him co-founded the Renaissance Institute
of Classical Homeopathy. She currently has a practice in classical
homeopathy for women and children in Cambridge, MA.
People come to see Begabati from all over the country, primarily
New York and New England. For those traveling from a distance,
followups can be done entirely by phone and remedies can be
mailed. The homeopathic process works best if the first interview
can be done in person.
Begabati has edited Dr. Luc’s guide for laypeople,
The People’s Repertory, and his textbook for
professionals, Hahnemann Revisited, as well as Yasgur’s
Homeopathic Dictionary, a reference book used by homeopaths
around the world. Her article, “Homeopathy:
Natural Mind-Body Healing” is in the July 2004 issue
of Journal of Psychosocial and Mental Health Nursing, and
her interview on homeopathy and nursing was webcast on nursedaily.com
(download
audio file for interview 12.2MB). Another interview on teaching homeopathy was webcast on www.wholehealthnow.com. A national journal for
professional homeopaths recently featured an interview
about her teaching philosophy and an article
on her integration of spirituality and meditation with her
homeopathy practice (Simillimum, Winter 2005).
Begabati lectures on homeopathy at Massachusetts College
of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, and co-authored the chapter
on homeopathy in the American Pharmacists Association’s
Handbook of Non-Prescription Drugs. She has also lectured
on homeopathy at Northeastern University’s School of
Pharmacy and MGH Institute’s training program for nurse
practitioners.
Begabati has practiced heart-center meditation for 30 years
under the guidance of spiritual teacher Sri
Chinmoy, who gave her the spiritual name Begabati. (Literally
it means a fast-flowing river and symbolically it refers to
the individual soul plunging headlong to merge into the ocean
of infinite consciousness.) In keeping with Sri Chinmoy’s
philosophy of community service, she teaches free classes
in meditation at Harvard University’s Center for Wellness;
in keeping with his mind-body approach to fitness, she has
completed 50 marathons, ultramarathons and triathlons.
