Homeopathy Tips for 5/06/14 Staying Current with Oneself

The subject of why we get sick the way we get sick is often discussed in our class cases. Students are really starting to see the patterns of how mental/emotional conflicts eventually get expressed into the physical body and are then noticed as illness or disease. The question came up this weekend about what to do about mental/emotional conflicts when they arise so that the physical illness can be avoided. Obviously good homeopathy is essential to accelerate healing. We are doing this consistently.

But the real question then was how do we avoid the eventual physical expression of dis-ease armed with such knowledge. The answer is by staying current with oneself. This means being actively aware of the roots to our thoughts/feelings and of our responses to the challenges in life. No one is immune or free from the challenges that arise in the course of life. One week we can feel on top of the world and by the next week enough challenging situations have arising that we then feel buried on the myriad ways we try to survive. This is life.

Responsibility is our ability to respond to life. When we take responsibility for our thoughts and feelings we are being aware of ourselves and not blaming others for our responses. This is quite empowering. Once we blame another then our power has been given over to another and we become dependent on them changing for us to have our happiness. It never works even if they did change. Most often the other person does not change and we are left needing something from outside of ourselves to complete us.

This dis-empowered dependent state is a clear indication that we are not taking responsibility for ourselves and not looking inside for the solutions to our conflicts. We are not staying current with ourselves when we are looking outside for the answers to our problems and conflicts. This is not to say that healthy communication and the expression of ones feeling should be avoided. This is quite the contrary. Expression of our feelings is healthy especially when there is no blame. This does in fact lead to healthy communication with others.

The problem often lies in the fact we don’t look deep enough inside to understand our feelings. Many times the reaction to situations in life are habitual and patterned. It takes great dedication to taking responsibility for oneself to see them though. Self control is necessary to stop the habitual behaviors to life’s challenges and look inside to really try to understand how we are feeling. What is the source of this pain I feel? This is a challenge that must be met with a real desire to be responsible for oneself and every feeling that we generate. No one outside of ourself is truly responsible for our feelings.

When we are current with ourself we can then experience the challenge or painful event and recognise our feelings about it without blame. From this place we are then able to share with another our most truthful self. If this is done without blame then the other person has the ability to change in a meaningful way to avoid the conflict in the future. They would not have to be defensive if there was no blame. These are healthy tools of communication, but they are dependent on staying current with oneself.

Problems that seem to occur over and over in life can then be met in a more honest way. We become a more aware individual and our lives reflect the more truthful aspects of ourselves. We then have more freedom to feel and more freedom to choose. This is a higher state of health and is best done with the help of good homeopathy. The remedy may help a person to see their patterns more clearly and to have some support to face them in a more responsible way. Having this information may help guide you to help yourself, or your client, avoid the eventual painful expression of mental/emotional conflict becoming expressed into the physical. They will be much more current with themselves and can then break the mental/emotional patterns that bind them.
