Dinesh Chauhan thinks that there are 4 stages/levels in teaching students/homeopaths to use the Sensation method and they include as follows:

1.Preparing for the Act

Knowing the concepts

• A constructive Journey from symptom to pattern from Hahnemann's era till today.
• In tune with Universe: Knowledge of touched and more so untouched universal laws that shapes up and authenticate homoeopathic science.
• Physics and homoeopathy: Two side of the same coin.
• Disease: An Altered Pattern of vibration.
• Vital Sensation: the whole process and latest developments.
• Mind and Body-a connecting thread to the deeper core.
• The complete journey of the old to new miasms (Coping-up mechanisms) and its practical applicability.
• Techniques to study materia medica and repertory in order to find whole pattern of Kingdom, sub-kingdom and individual remedy.

2.Ready for the Act

Case Witnessing

• The journey of case witnessing process from symptoms to altered vibration pattern.
• Exploration of a case: knowing the way a patient thinks, feels, perceives senses, reacts and copes with his illness, himself and the whole world around.
• Exploration of local, general and vital areas in a case to find the common thread.
• Understanding kingdoms, subkingdom and source in a case.
• Instructions: that help

-      To know the authenticity of source.

-      To understand the completion of case exploration and thus to end the Act.

3.Mastering the Act

Fighting odds

• Different tools that helps in case witnessing to explore deeper levels with relative ease: Active, Passive, Active-Active, Projection, Imagination, Focusing, Dissociation etc.
• Finding an appropriate tool for the operational success (Case): To avoid disasters such as using a sward to cut vegetables and using a kitchen knife to kill a tiger!
• Exploring the altered pattern through the means of non-verbal expressions like gestures, drawings, etc
• Techniques to reach to the source.

4.Completing the Act

Approach of searching a match for the altered pattern of the patient from materia medica, repertory and/ natural habitat.

• Explanation of kingdoms such as Plant, Mineral, Animal, Nosodes, Sarcodes and Imponderabilia that the case demands.
• Explanation of Source.
• Potency selection with reasoning.
• Case management and remedy repetition in subsequent follow ups with scientific explanations.
