A Healing Path with Classical Homeopathy

We have come to see the symptoms of our body and mind as troublesome issues that we would like to go away. Conventional medicine will offer you a pill or medicine to make the symptoms go away.  I have a headache, I am going to take some aspririn.  Classical Homeopathy sees it differenty.  If we stop ourselves for a moment and ask, why do I have these symptoms, why do I feel this way, we begin to see that they are there for a reason.  Our symptoms are telling us something about ourselves.  They are telling us about what is going on in our body.  They are the messages of the vital force, or energy, of the body.  For a homeopath, these symptoms are like a road map to the core of a person, telling them what is needed to heal.  It is much easier to ignore our symptoms as much as possible, to take a  ‘pill’ and make them go away.  But often this ‘pill’ only serves to mask the symptoms from our consciousness, doing nothing towards the actual healing of the condition.  What’s more, it allows us to forget that there is a problem in the first place, until it pops up again.  This time the aspririn or the extra strength pain medication won’t touch the pain.  Inevitably this is in a more extreme version than initially.  But this is the body is simply asking to be heard, to be listened to, but the reaction after suppressive drugs can be violent.  ‘Can you hear me now?’ it says.  ‘I am trying to tell you something!’  For a homeopath, these symptoms are seen as a blessing, a direct route to the truth of the inner disturbance–a road map to the correct remedy that will stimulate deep healing, leading us to forget about the problem because it has been cured, not because it has just been hidden.  For the individual, it is healing in itself to just sit down and talk with a homeopath about the symptoms.  It is giving the messages of the body a voice, allowing them to be heard.  It is paying attention to the inner most parts of the self.  Often, simply making an appointment with a homeopath, who you know will really listen to you and your body, can start the healing process.  It is empowering to listen to the messages.  It is taking your health into your own hands, not handing it over to the conventional system to take care of.  The individual seeking homeopathic care is saying:  ‘I am listening.  I hear your plea.  The symptoms of you, my body, show me the inherent power of potential self healing that we have.’

What inspires a person to embark on a healing path with Classical Homeopathy?  It may be a specific event.  Sometimes tragedy must play a role and it is through a life changing event that we awaken to ourselves.  We are drawn to take a fork in the road, one that perhaps was there, but we never saw.

Sometimes it is long standing, chronic, physical pain that grows gradually until life must be re-evaluated.  The dead-end feel of available modern treatments may lead a person to decide that ‘there must be another way’.

Maybe it is not tragedy or pain that sets a healing course, but an experience of inspiration.  To see and interract with a person who has been set free of the chains of chronic disease can be a powerful thing.  This person is doing exactly what it is they are meant to be doing in this life.  They have a spark of creativity and an enjoyment of life that is contagious!  It is truly inspiring and leads a person to think,  ‘I also, would like to be free to pursue my dreams.’  And the question that inevitably follows….’what is standing in my way?’

We humans have a tendency to see the obstacles in our lives as imposed by outside forces, when it is usually our own self that is  in the way.  A healing path is about flirting with the idea, that if we  perhaps have a role in our own suffering, don’t we also have the power to heal ourselves?  It is not guilt or blame, but more about taking back our own power to heal.  ‘I will take the process into my own hands. Asking the doctor, or anyone else to heal me has only left me feeling powerless to heal myself.’

Whatever has brought a person to begin to embark down that fork in the road, there are many powerful tools available to facilitate healing. You have stumbled upon one right now.  It is Classical Homeopathy:  A way to take back your power of self-healing.

Conventional medicine seeks only to treat the outward symptoms of disease. This view of medicine sees the body as existing in separate, non-related parts. But in health as well as in sickness, our whole body is connected. Treating each symptom as a separate issue is working against nature and only results in creating more problems.

Modern treatments do not remove symptoms, but only ‘hide’ them while actually suppressing, or pushing them deeper into the body. These symptoms often return to a different or more dangerous location. This suppression only serves to lower the overall level of health. More serious conditions can appear as an effect of the treatment. Also, conventional prescriptions often produce dangerous side effects. The conventional answer to this is to prescribe more medications, adding to the negative overall effect on the patient’s health.

Homeopathy, on the other hand, seeks to meet the whole being to stimulate the vital force and immune system to heal from the inside out. Thus, the whole person, mind, body and spirit is brought to a greater level of health through the use of homeopathy.
