It was a cold dark night
and I had cancelled the appointment twice before finally going to see the
Homeopath. It was a strange session, lasting two and a half hours or more,
in which I talked of everything - as Alice would say, ‘Of shoes and ships
and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings.’ My experience was astounding and
every detail is still etched in my mind.
Looking back, my Homeopath listened in a way that I had never experienced
before. That it was non-judgmental doesn’t quite express it—because good
psychologists also have the ability to deeply listen. What was more
astonishing was the way the Homeopath cared. She truly cared that I get
better. I had never come across that in my life. I felt giddy during the
session, as though I had taken a gigantic leap over a precipice but I knew
I’d land on my feet. In the
journey to find freedom from chronic sickness, I had finally come across
Classical Homeopathy and had met a Homeopath trained in Classical
Homeopathy for the very first time in my life. Before the visit I didn’t
believe for a second that the Homeopath would actually be able to help me.
I am slightly embarrassed to admit that, at the time, I thought, ‘Maybe I
am throwing my money away.’ I had
spent years battling my problems and I didn’t believe that any remedy
could help me. I hoped - but belief? No. I took my first dose of the
remedy she prescribed – the remedy seemed laughable because it was so
small (a teaspoon from half a cup of water in which only one drop of
remedy had been stirred and I had to bang the remedy bottle beforehand).
“What woo-woo stuff is this?” I thought, “Well, at least it can’t kill
me.” It was at that moment of complete disbelief that, like Alice in
Wonderland, my world changed. Over
the next few weeks and months, I started to heal in a way that I had never
believed was possible. In my experience and in objective fact my world has
changed forever. I have had an excellent resolution of many of my chronic
ailments – ailments for which I had been prescribed everything from
Singulair to Zantac, to steroid inhalers and, of course, antibiotics on a
regular basis. I thank my stars for
the impulse that took me to a Classical Homeopath! My Homeopath is a
member of the BC Society of Homeopaths. Saima
