We live in an age where everyone expects
technology to bail them out of all their problems. They think technology
provides vital solutions. Yet, what we
fear most, loss of life, limb, pain, prolonged suffering and death, catapult us
into irrational fear and profound confusion.
Technology can not palliate
our irrational fears or assuage our soul’s longing for connection, peace and
love. These feelings come directly from our soul; they allow us to ponder the
deeper meaning of life that go beyond immediate fixes or technical solutions.
These issues are the
very trigger to spiritual growth. Every generation has faced these issues. They,
like the soul, are eternal.
These ponderings recognize
the fullness of time and the universality of emotional suffering. They, by
their very nature, hold within themselves the answers we seek at a deep
level. Reflecting on them is the path to
healing the darkness so pervasive in our time.
They help strengthen
us and assist us in cultivating wisdom. They offer us the ability to tap into
our inner resources to resolve the mysteries of life. They strengthen our capacity
to look deep, feel strongly and know, that in spite of external circumstances,
we shall always prevail through challenges, illness, fright, loss and trauma.
Our inner resources
are part of an organizing principal we call “health”, “immunity” or “the Higher
Self “. It is the spiritual aspect of our being that we learn, over time, to
live in resonance with. If we listen to the wise guidance of our
inner resources we learn about life. We naturally develop appropriate skills
for the work we are suited to do, the relationships we are destined to
cultivate. These resources show us the path of creativity, joy, and
fulfillment.
As our resources build
up through facing challenges and learning the power of who we are they set
the mind
at ease from overwhelm by
irrational thoughts and fears that foster
separation. They keep us looking forward into the heart of life.
Basically inner
resources give us the tools to move beyond superstition, away from the clutches
of fear into freedom, joy and love. If we become slaves to the undercurrent of
fear we lose our grip, fall into despair and illness. We wobble constantly
looking for an external polar star to grasp onto.
Inner resources
strengthen and preserve our life force. Without
them we act irrationally, moving too quickly, falling out of synch with the
rhythms and cycles of the day, season, year until we are too far off base to
return to center. It becomes harder to
maintain our health and, if we are stressed for too long, without reprieve, we fall
into disease and suffering.
When we are looking
for a medicine to support our health and stamina to keep us strong for life we
want a medicine compatible with our higher consciousness. Homeopathy is such a
medicine.
It was developed 250
years ago in Germany
He believed disease
emanated from two distinct pathways; the most pervasive channel being the
psychological realm. Hahnemann felt when we become upset, overwhelmed or
unconscious we internalize the stress where it finds its way into our body. If
not recognized and processed it becomes pathology. This is one way we discharge tension. Our
symptoms reflect our inner distress.
When we read the
language of the body we develop understanding for the metaphors for illness. We
understand that the pressure of a headache, for instance, is from too much
pressure. The stomach tells us there is something we fail to digest.
Homeopathy provides us
a way of healing external physical symptoms and, at the same time, helps us
deal with the internal strife we hold within us. It is a medicine that helps us build our
inner resources, clarify our resolve and deepen our understanding.
Ultimately, homeopathy
helps us find solutions that work for us. It directs us to the flow of life and
helps us make wise choices for our journey.
Good homeopathy takes into account the spirit
of a person. It gives them physical stamina and emotional grit for facing their
challenges. It helps us make good choices for life itself to be lived fully.
Eventually, homeopathy
helps people learn to acknowledge their soul’s calling. Homeopathy gives
balance so we can use our inner resources to our advantage instead of always
fighting and resisting life. It provides remedies to help us move past
emotional arrestment, trauma, shock, damage.
We do the rest by
stepping into our self, moving forward in life, or retreating and resting till
we have the strength to take a leap of faith into our journey.
