The relationship between client and practitioner is generally built over time. The first consult usually focuses on the really strong symptoms of imbalance being discussed (the reason why you booked in the first place – this is known as ‘presenting complaint’) – remedies are then prescribed based on matching the remedy picture with the complete individuality of the client.
Treat the person, not the dis-ease!
As further meetings happen, a two-way communication of trust develops and information from the past and details which might seem unimportant are added into the picture. This helps to look at layers as they appear. As with everything homeopathy, it is very individual.
Because homeopathy is energy, the energetic relationship between client and practitioner needs to be pure and safe. The energetic flow between client – practitioner – intention – remedy is what it’s all about. It is good to have this understanding of the energetic flow.
So you might go to a homeopath with a particular dis-ease ‘name’ or tell them a list of symptoms (and this is important), but what they really want to find out is where is your energetic imbalance? Where does the energetic essence of a remedy match you? What level of energetic responce is appropriate? Who are you as a complete individual person?
When the relationship is strong, it helps with remedy choices. I do encourage people to choose and use homeopathy themselves but sometimes a homeopath might be needed.
Hope this makes sense. Those of us who choose a holistic way of life will understand xx
