How does Soul & Survival work?
You came into life with a number of social survival strategies in place. While we all have the same physical survival aspects, such as natural drives to breathe and eat, social survival instincts vary. Social survival skills are what you employ to secure your position within any group.
Nature survives through diversity. It is not beneficial for all human beings to contribute to the group in exactly the same way. We need a number of different strategies to socially secure us. These different strategies are represented by seven different groups.
Each of the seven groups has been given a colour for easy recognition. Each colour group has up to thirty identifiable survival strategies and qualities. Soul & Survival details all these qualities with stories to highlight their benefits. You will begin to understand why you have these characteristics, when you are most likely to use them and how they can trap you in an endless cycle of repetition and reaction.
Individuals have never been able to survive on their own they way they can in a group. Your survival instinct helps protect you by providing qualities needed or desired by the group. These qualities give you personal value and you will instinctively revert to them for your own protection when you are under stress.
Whether you are extroverted, introverted, academic, technical, physical, or creative; your social survival skills are how you respond to stress. Sometimes beneficial and sometimes not, knowing yourself through the Soul & Survival model will help you be a better person.

Grant Bentley (ND Dip Hom Grad Dip Psych. Th reg AROH, ATMS)
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.
