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 is an Adjunct Lecturer 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 more than 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. Based on her practice in heart-centered meditation, she is able to establish a deeply supportive and nurturing relationship with her clients.
