Health through the eyes of the Western Medicine paradigm is seen as the absence of symptoms and disease. The strength of this system of medicine is evident in emergency situations and after accidents as the hospital is the place to be if your life is in imminent danger. However when it comes to the arena of chronic disease and mental health, orthodox medicine fails dismally. This is because the understanding of the role of symptoms and illness is misinterpreted and misunderstood. This model of health then sentences people to a life of quiet suffering and decline. It is a system of medicine that views symptoms as the enemy to be battled with and eradicated. This is akin to your car mechanic seeing a warning light flash on your car’s dashboard and to him then removing the perceived offending light globe rather than popping the hood and looking closer to find the real problem. This is a flawed approach!
True health, I would define as health and balance across all levels of your being:- physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. It is the ability to move freely and joyfully in the world in total presence responding appropriately to any given situation. In health you are not chained to your past and not anxious or fearful around your future. It is akin to the state that the great spiritual teachers and masters speak of. Now how many of us actually live that way? The majority of us are in a state of dis-ease, in conflict with reality. So is it any wonder then that over time we get ravaged by pain and disease and succumb to the stress and the demands of the modern world?
In the old days the traditional family doctor would pay home visits and generally have had a history with the family he would have entrusted in his care. When somebody was sick he would not merely treat the symptoms but would ask the simple question- What’s amiss? He knew that the symptom was just the tip of the iceberg, a portal to see into the larger issue at hand. The symptom was part of the bigger picture and indicative of what was happening in that person’s life that they were out of synch with or bothered by. That stress could be around family, work, finances, relationships, the future, etc. Of course that problem or issue would be that person’s interpretation of the situation and not absolute reality as one sees present situations through the lens and biases of their previous life experiences.
This brings us to what kind of system of healing can be so all-encompasing that it could provide healing and support for total health(of body, mind, emotions and soul). What healing modality would work at a high enough frequency and level that it would bypass those four levels and work directly at the level of one’s consciousness as it is the consciousness level that holds within it the other four levels of being. This system of medicine would need to be a form of energy or information(consciousness- affecting) medicine. Classical Homeopathy is one such all-encompassing system of energetic medicines and healing. In the way that the homeopathic remedies are prepared and made(by dilution and succusions), the intelligence and latent healing properties in nature are made potent and alchemical.
Homeopathy works on the ‘Law Of Similars’ which basically means that it operates on the rule of ‘Like Cures Like’ or frequency resonance. We are all fundamentally ‘energy beings’ with our own unique frequency which has a range that varies between our healthy and unhealthy states. A homeopath’s work is to work out through a consultation the homeopathic remedy that best fits that particular client’s frequency or vibe to bring about in them a healthier vibration that signifies balance and well-being that is unique to that individual. Health and well-being in one person may be that they start to prioritise their needs over others’ needs. In another individual, health may be represented by them stepping into their personal power. For a third person, health may equate to them letting go of disappointments and losses experienced in their life. Health means different things to different people. This is where the intelligence of the homeopathic remedies comes into play.
Ultimately with health and balance then comes freedom, a greater ability to live in the moment rather than to be defined by an identity or role or by a trauma or past experience. Health is then the ability to move and react to each moment and what it brings, afresh and appropriately, without the chains to the past and the invisible threads to a future that is still unwritten. Homeopathy, being a whole person approach and system of medicine is in the prime position to move you in the direction of health, peace and freedom. Homeopathy works well with chronic health problems and mental health and supports depression and anxiety very well. For Christmas don’t you deserve to give yourself the gift of health, energy, balance and peace of mind? In this fast-paced, chaotic modern world we need good health and sanity of mind to get through each day.
