How does Soul & Survival work?
For hundreds of years (if not more) humans have debated whether we are born with a clean slate or whether we are born with predestined pathways. While it sounds contradictory, there is truth to both arguments. We are born with both a clean slate AND we are born with predetermined factors. Any parent of more than one child will have noticed how very different each baby is – from birth.
What if we have three different parts of us?
- All the individual experiences of this lifetime
- Genetic behaviours from our parents and past generations
- Inherited memories from humans who have lived long ago who experienced – and survived – an extreme environmental or social event.
Inherited memories are a huge driving force within each of us. Unconscious memories that have become our fears, our skills, and our strengths – especially during times of stress.
Are all of these memories the same?
No, there are a number of different sets of memories – even within the same energy group.
Why are there different sets of memories?
Because each of us brings something to the group – more compassion, more courage, more clear thinking, more strategy more nurturing, more leadership etc. It is an advantage to human progress that we display and act with diversity. Nature knows to put all your eggs in one basket.
Why are some of these memories so negative?
Because it is only when times are negative that we act. If we are comfortable there is no need to extend ourselves or to help extend others. Negative stress is both negative and positive in its experience and its outcome.
How do these memories form within us?
There are three universal forces – energies that have different actions and consequences. These energies can be dominant – one at a time – or merge to form a double or even a triple energy. From three primary energies or forces come a total of seven energies.
Each of us is born with one of these seven energies. Which type of energy we are born with forms a part of who we are and how we act. This energy determines
-
How we behave under stress
-
Which triggers we use the most
-
Which strategies we will most likely employ to help us out of trouble
This force is more than just a stress response. This force has a negative AND a positive side. We become the best person we can be through understanding and embracing this force. We become powerful and self-energized.
Soul & Survival links facial features to your instinctive character traits.

Grant Bentley is from Melbourne, Australia and has been working and studying in various fields of natural therapies since 1987. Grant is a qualified Homeopath and Naturopath and has studied Clinical Hypnosis and has a Post Graduate Diploma in Eriksonian Psychotherapy. Grant is the current principal and senior lecturer of the Victorian College of Classical Homeopathy (1995 – current).
Grant wrote Soul & Survival for his clinical patients and students as they asked more and more questions about what the facial analysis meant. How it was used in clinical practice. What it said about each patient and their inherited memory/survival instinct. Soul & Survival is a narrative read about how we take stressful moments, stress memories and stress strategies from the past and why.
The Victorian College of Classical Homeopathy led by Principal Grant Bentley has been clinically trialing the relationship between facial structure and successful chronic prescribing since 2000. Graduating practitioners use facial analysis with every chronic case. Homeopathic Facial Analysis (HFA) produces consistently successful results using Hahnemannian concepts of homeopathy with a miasmatic diagnostic (facial structure).
Trials have been conducted in the private clinics of Grant Bentley and a number of Melbourne based VCCH graduates. Trials have also been undertaken at community clinics located at both Remedy Group (Lilydale, Rowville) and the Orwil St Community House (Frankston). Consistent results of 80%+ across numerous chronic diseases have occurred. This system doesn’t treat specific diseases but treats the patient energetically, allowing their own innate healing abilities to work in synchronicity with their body, immune system and emotions.The clinics have been used to determine a link between facial structure and miasmatic classification of polychrests. From this research Grant Bentley has devised a method known as Homeopathic Facial Analysis (HFA) which he has been teaching to both undergraduate and postgraduate students around the world.
