Homeopathy Tips for 6/24/08 Spirituality

One of the most important aspects of Homeopathy that is rarely discussed is spirituality. It seems we often hear of new remedies or different seminars offering a new twist on case analysis. But the largest part of understanding homeopathy and being a homeopath is all based in spirituality.

There are many paths to learning and discovering spirituality; either through understanding or experience.  Most religions have a common message and lead back to simple spiritual truths. It is important to include spirituality in your daily life as a homeopath as well as in your personal understanding of homeopathy.  All basic principles of homeopathy are grounded in spirituality.

Remedies are energies without substance. Vital force/Spirit is energy animating substance, but without substance itself. In every sense of the word Homeopathy is spiritual medicine. In order to fully understand homeopathy it is necessary to understand spirituality as well. There are a great many teachers in this day talking  about spirituality. David Hawkins has been a very important teacher of mine because of his very articulate way of speaking about the spiritual realm and our human experience. His books “Eye of the I” and “I” are two of my favorite.  The teachings of Abraham-Hicks have also been very helpful in reminding me of a greater truth.

In order to help another as a homeopath we must first clear our own slate; do our own spiritual work. It is only through our own spiritual evolution that we can be clear enough to help another. This falls into the art part of homeopathy but is actually more basic than that. It is really a part of being human and embracing this life experience and how we show up ourselves in service to others.  I want to quote Kent again from the last newsletter,  “Materia Medica never inspires perception. The physician must have the love of it’s use, and he becomes wise in proportion as he loves his use, and in proportion as he lives uprightly  with his patients; that is desire to heal them, beautify their souls. Can the physician, who does not love his neighbor as himself, get into this position?”

Kent speaks of living uprightly, healing the sick, beautifying their souls, loving the neighbor as himself.  This is all speaking to the physician to live a spiritual and clean life.  We have all heard the many religions that speak of these simple truths. We must not forget that we are working with a spiritual medicine and in order to be masters of this medicine we must continuously work on our own spiritual mastery as well. There really is no difference.

Find books or practices that increase your spiritual awareness. Use them in your daily life. You will find that your perception of cases changes as your awareness changes. Your ability to help others as well as yourself will grow proportionally to your spiritual growth.  Let the messages of truth inspire you.  You will find that the rewards are far greater than the effort.
