Homeopathic Practices To Adopt In The New Year

It’s that time of the year when many of us make resolutions to bring about a change we desire to witness in ourselves. Occasionally, this can be a very daunting and overwhelming task especially when one has to stick to those resolutions. Homoeopathy, as a system of medicine, has the ability to take you home to your roots, the real you, your truest self. Through this article let’s learn simple ways rooted in Homeopathic principles, which we can adapt in order to make 2023 fruitful and meaningful.

Most of the resolutions made by us are centred on health. You’ve decided to hit the gym thrice a week, walk every day, and include more fibre or vegetables in your diet. The list can go on. Did you know that true healing and vitality can hardly be nurtured through a start-of-the-year declaration? It is excellent to have intentions and set goals for yourself. But this year, let’s take a different approach where we will learn to get curious, mindfully tapping into what our bodies need so that we live an authentic life, aligned with our highest self.

1.Listen To Your Body

Our body speaks to us through symptoms. Let us normalize the appearance of symptoms as the body’s way of telling us to pause and listen to what it wants. Symptoms become less problematic when you listen to them. Your body will say NO when your authentic needs are denied. Check-in with your body each day, by asking your body, “what do you need most right now?” “What can I do for you right now?” It is an important practice to create space to meet your body with compassionate attention. Maybe the answer is more movement, more sleep, more water, clean eating, alone space, genuine connections or simply rest and pause. Your body will tell you exactly what you need. Listen in and practice honouring that expressed need. It is not a resolution but a commitment to attend to a simple basic need at a given moment. It may be as simple as pausing to drink water when you are very thirsty.

2.Be Honest With Yourself

Vulnerability is the key to healing. The more open and honest you are with yourself that is how easily you open the portals of healing. “What do you want in your life right now?” “What is it that is most important to you? ”Answering these questions

2.Be Honest with yourself

Vulnerability is the key to healing. The more open and honest you are with yourself that is how easily you open the portals of healing. “What do you want in your life right now?” “What is it that is most important to you? ”Answering these questions honestly to yourself will give you a deeper insight into where you are headed for and your innate capacity to be the best version of yourself. Healing takes you there. Connecting with genuine people committed to their own growth and healing will add value to your being. Checking in with your heart and mind each day will help you inch closer to being aligned with what matters to you. All of this generates intrinsic motivation, thus these changes which come naturally are more sustainable and meaningful as we honor the whispers of the heart and mind. Honor your inner knowing. Honor the inner pull of yes and no. Acknowledging your shortcomings and acting from a space of awareness will cause healing to happen organically and exponentially. The Homeopathic interview which is a journey within takes you to your deepest core to facilitate healing.

3.Care For Your Inner World

Your outer world flourishes when your inner world is cared for. Welcome this knowledge as a reminder to get curious about your life force (Vital force, as we call it in Homoeopathy). Our vital force can be deranged because of factors which can otherwise be controlled. A strong, resilient vital force is the source of vitality. There are countless ways of strengthening your vital force, some of which include

• Being attuned to the needs of your body

• Quality sleep

• Movement

• Consuming whole food

• Adequate and necessary sun exposure

• Homeopathic remedies

• Mindfulness

• Connecting with yourself

• Gratitude

• Being authentic

• Rest

“Make this year about returning home. Back to yourself. Reconnect within and expand it outward.”Krista Rivet

May 2023 be the year you truly turn inward to listen to the intention of your soul which will create the outcome that your mind desires. You always know what is right for you. Be blessed with the courage to return home to who you already are.

Happy 2023!!!
