Most of my patients know that when I
prescribe, I give a set of auxiliary guidelines to follow to almost all my
patients. In most of them, irrespective of the health issue they suffer from, I
prescribe certain relaxation techniques and breathing technique like Pranayama.
No wonder most people get back with a positive feedback saying they are getting
positive improvement when they couple homeopathy with these auxiliary
guidelines.
How does that happen?
Why does that happen?
To understand the complementary nature of
homeopathy and yoga or Pranayama, we need to know where and how homeopathy
acts. Homeopathy, as most of you know, is a holistic way of healing. It treats
the ‘Person’ and not just his or her ‘disease’! The reason behind this holism
is quite obviously the subtleness with which the homeopathic minute dose acts
and the subtlety of the plane on which this dose acts.
When a man lives in this world, he wears
layers of masks on him. He may ‘show’ the strength physically, mentally and
emotionally. At the same time, he may
hide his innate fears, guilt, bad habits, mental setbacks and things alike. During
homeopathic case taking, the keenness of observation and a proper comprehension
of the past history shred these masks to pieces. A homeopath tries to visualize
the intricate human being, one of the delicate species on this earth that is as
vulnerable as any other animal. When that real human being is grasped in the
mind of a homeopath, he prescribes as per the patient’s personality.
Personality is nothing but the REAL YOU! And that real you is one of the most
subtle things you can see. That is why when the homeopathic minutest dose acts
favourably, it influences that inner being, which is vulnerable owing to its
subtlety. Rather, it will not be an
exaggeration to say that unless the homeopathic dose is closest to this subtle
plane, CURE is impossible!
AND
Yoga and Pranayama are the best possible
techniques that again get one closest to their innermost being. “Yog” means
Union. It is the union of you with your soul, where the Higher Power resides.
All religions and scriptures agree to this. That is why Yoga and Pranayama are
NOT religious entities; they are for one and all. They are the way of living a
purposeful life for which we are born!
That is the reason, many times I insist to
my patients to begin some kind of relaxation technique or breathing technique
first and later we get them on homeopathic course of treatment. That way, the
doses that we design for CURE act more favourably and suitably.
I think it is my observation and I am sure
many homeopaths who believe in Yoga and Pranayama will agree to me that people,
who have some inkling towards inner journey of the soul, are better candidates
for homeopathic treatment. That obviously does not mean homeopathy does not act
on extroverts. But I believe, when applied properly, homeopathy not only
relieves the external health issues but it converts the individual positively,
brings tranquillity in their lives and stabilizes their disharmonized
lifestyles.
Many times I feel
we homeopaths have much more to do than merely treating the sick. With our
medicines and the judicious auxiliary regimes, we can actually change the world
to a far better position than what it is now! Even when one person transforms
himself to a positive calm individual, the society at large transforms
eventually, isn’t it?
