Consciousness-Based Medicine
The scientific study of the consciousness of plants will continue to prove that Homeopathic Medicine is the greatest Mind/Body Medicine on Earth here to assist in healing the consciousness of humanity through the innate law of Like Cures Like.
Consciousness is the basis of the human physiology. This central and profound reality of life is not currently considered in modern medicine. Only the knowledge of the relationship of consciousness to physiology, and the practical applications of this knowledge for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, can significantly address the shortcomings of health care in the world today. -School of Natural Medicine
The body/mind (thoughts-emotions)/spirit (intelligent presence) is a continuum of consciousness
-no part can be ignored or discounted as it is a unified whole. -Mary Terhune
Factors That Effect Our Health
We have all experienced how our health and well-being is marginalized by many factors from the food we eat, to how much we exercise, to the weather, our sleep, emotional and physical traumas and inherited weaknesses, to relationships at home and at work, to the uneasy contents of our own mind, all which affect our mental/emotional /physical/spiritual well-being. When we feel the ill-effects from these stressors often we take prescribed or over-the-counter drugs which may or may not give temporary relief and often cause side-effects or sometimes seem to make things worse. This is how I dealt with my own health for my entire life until one day, during a health crisis, I stepped out of that paradigm and entered a whole new world of understanding regarding root cause, prevention, healing and cure changing everything I had ever learned from my training as a registered nurse and it happened in the most unexpected and shocking way. Here is part of that story which began in 1999.
My Story
“I think you have a thyroid problem” the dermatologist said. She noticed the outer part of my eyebrows where thinning. But I wasn’t there to complain about my eyebrows or the more than usual and disturbing fatigue I had been feeling for the past month, I was there because the skin on my cheeks were red and I was diagnosed with rosacea. I left the office with a cream to apply to my face which had way more side-effects than I was willing to test out and I hoped to find another way to fix my problem. Following that office visit I had my blood tested by an endocrinologist which indicated I had hashimoto’s hypothyroidism, an autoimmune disease where the antibodies attack the thyroid destroying the tissue and was prescribed the synthetic drug synthroid. After a few days on that drug I felt absolutely horrible and through my own investigation found a natural pig thyroid (Armour thyroid) which was a wonderful as I had no side-effects from it and felt a great boost in my energy.
However, I was still dealing with my skin issue and I really did not want to be on any drug, even a more natural one, for the rest of my life. I also had enough understanding at the time that symptoms occur when there are deeper unresolved emotional/mental elements and I wanted to understand why this was happening and get to the true root of my symptoms and my body attacking itself!
I believed in the power of prayer and with a sincere wish to know what was behind all this I sent out a heartfelt prayer to the powers that be that went something like this: I know you know what is behind all this and I know you know a practitioner who can help me understand the issues behind my failing thyroid and I need you to send that person now because I want to understand the root of these issues and I want a cure. Thank you. To my amazement the very next day at work I happened to mention my thyroid and skin issues to a colleague while we were standing in the kitchen getting a bite to eat who then turned around thrusting a pamphlet in my hand saying: “Then you are going to need homeopathy”. “Really?” “Yes.” The force of conviction in her voice spoke to a voice inside me that said: This is the answer to your prayer.
Fast forward after seeing a homeopathic RN practitioner: (quoting now from my book Out Of The Blue) “I was standing at the sink in my kitchen, holding my remedy bottle: a red plastic bottle filled with water and the colorless, odorless, highly diluted homeopathic remedy Natrum Muriaticum. I opened the bottle, pouring one teaspoon of the remedy into a four-ounce cup of water, stirring vigorously; then I placed one teaspoon from the cup into my mouth, discarding the rest of the water into a nearby plant. As I placed the teaspoon of remedy into my mouth, my whole consciousness flew out into the deep, dark cosmos. In this space I saw the part of my consciousness where my mind/emotions had been stuck for so many years: it was the grief over my mother I had carried all these years, imprinted in utero and then repeated throughout my life in my closest relationships. The area of stuck hurt twinkled like a star, and then I saw the consciousness of the remedy coming from the right to greet it, twinkling in the same way. As the two twinkling stars met each other, they seemed to dissolve together, and I felt a release of energy in my mind. With this release, my awareness instantly went back into my body. I had an immediate understanding that this remedy was alive, knowing where my mind/emotions were stuck. Amazed, I shouted out loud, “So this is how it works; it works on the level of consciousness!” I’d clearly just been given the experience of the law of similars—the living consciousness of a human is healed with the living consciousness of nature through this innate law.
My mind reeled with the importance of this experiential knowledge. I thought, So disease begins in consciousness, and it gets healed in consciousness as well. I remembered what Jesus had said to me 13 years earlier: “Now do you understand what disease is all about?” At that time, he’d given me the understanding that all disease in the physical body begins first on an energetic level in emotions and thoughts; in other words, on the level of consciousness. It was clear that thoughts and emotions can affect the brain and the rest of the physical body, but they are not generated from the brain. They exist independently in our consciousness, which surrounds and innervates the body. Anxiety, depression, grief, fear, and all mental suffering must be addressed from the consciousness—I was now being given the experience that this is the territory for the gentle mind/body consciousness–based medicine of homeopathy.”
The Unspoken Grief
The unspoken grief of my mother, that repeated in all my relationships over the years showed up as an auto-immune dis-ease attacking my throat area, the chakra (energy center) of expression. The grief had to be addressed as that was the root cause of all my symptoms including the skin on my face; these were not unrelated symptoms. I later understood that the body in all its intelligence makes an effort to push the inner disharmony in consciousness from the interior out on to the skin to release it from the system. I realized that the cream the dermatologist was suggesting for my rosacea would attempt to push it the other way from the appearance on my skin back into my system through suppression thereby causing “side effects” from that action! As it turned out the remedy of Natrum Muriaticum addressed the chronic underlying grief which also cleared my skin and eventually strengthened my thyroid and immune system. You could say it cleared the disharmony of the dis-ease of chronic grief within to allow a fuller expression of my being as surely it felt that way to me.
A Balanced Partnership
Along with trauma-based medicine, consciousness-based medicine provides a balanced partnership much needed today – then our spirit can soar freely within our body/mind allowing our innate talents and abilities to express themselves reclaiming and creating heaven on earth inside and outside.
