I receive a lot of emails from people who want to find a homeopath, either for themselves or their animals. Since homeopathy is not yet a mainstream modality of health care in many countries, they can be a bit thin on the ground.
So what do you do?
With today’s technology, distance is no longer a problem. Consulting with a homeopath far away can be as effective as going to their clinic. All you need is a computer with Skype connection. It may mean you have to get up in the middle of the night, if the homeopath is on the other side of the world. However with your health at stake, or that of your loved ones, you may consider this worth it. Often only a few times a year are necessary.
I have many patients who consult me via Skype, both human and animal. The treatment success depends on the depth of the communication, not on the physical distance between us.
Homeopaths don’t treat themselves on a deep level, and my own homeopath is over 3000 kms away (about 2000 miles).
You may consider this to be inappropriate, as surely a physical examination is necessary? Sometimes this may be required, in which case an allopathic doctor or vet can be used purely for this aspect. But the majority of homeopathic practice is based on individual symptoms. Many of these are non-physical symptoms.
This can all be easily relayed via communication.
In every single patient, illness is shown through signs and symptoms. A homeopath puts this collection of personal data into order to make sense of it all. Even acutes illness is an expression, an interpretation of the deeper underlying lack of harmony within.
This lack of inner harmony starts to express itself as mental and emotional signs and symptoms. For example, someone may be showing a highly agitated or anxious state that is not really appropriate for the situation.
When this is not dealt with by inner re-balancing, then pathology is likely to develop. This will disappear when inner harmony is restored.
The pathology that develops will be in an area that reflects your inner dis-harmony.
All this can be discovered by open communication. Physical examination, by comparison, gives us much less useful data to work with.
If you are new to homeopathy, this may all sound very strange. That is only because the ideas are new to you. In time, they will begin to make sense. You’re not a collection of mechanical parts. You are an energy being, with all parts connected and reflecting who you are. Your non-physical parts support your physical parts. Both parts need help when out of balance.
