I can often be heard asking people to tell me their story. I'm interested and I know that I can learn so much from hearing other people's experiences...with this in mind, I begin my next series of entries to tell you about a new and yet old story unfolding for me. It is my hope that the telling of this story may help others in some small way...
I have been on a bit of a journey for a little while now and more recently have been working with an amazing woman who specializes in homeopathy. While not entirely serious or grave, I have struggled with some physical symptoms that require my attention. What is beautiful about the homeopathy process is that, like my orientation, homeopathy believes that illness originates in mental and emotional processes. Certainly there are "organic" origins but much of what ails begins in our noodle! She took a history unlike any that I have ever experienced. This woman knows more about me inside and out than any other practitioner I've met. She can now listen to something I say and tell me what my core feelings are in absolutely accurate terms. She uses all of this data to analyze what my constitutional needs are and to recommend a remedy to help support me in moving towards greater balance. There is amazing science behind this and I will, in the next few posts, insert links to this fascinating research. In any case, the journey that I would like to share with you over the next several entries will tell the story of what it has been like to walk this road. The remedy brings to the forefront of your experience a you like you might not have known or seen in awhile. The lessons are immense. This is not a magic pill that erases all symptoms but rather a natural counterpoint that requires the user to do their work. It has taken me into interesting art, writing, dream work and reflection. The intelligence of the process is astounding. My commitment is to write a little each day for the next couple of weeks until I get the story out. Much more to come...
