What do you mean by being sick? Sickness is a state of being unhealthy or ill. This is something that everyone knows. What one doesn’t know is this illness or ill-health could also be at mental or emotional level; it is a wrong belief that sickness is only when you have some physical ailment.
Sickness, in other words, means that the body is throwing out symptoms to make the person realize that he is unwell and must take the necessary steps for his recovery as soon as possible. Now these symptoms could be as trivial as diarrhea due to overeating or irritability and anger at trifles. Again, the symptoms could at an emotional level also; like the person’s weeping tendency has increased in the last few days or something else.
Now, one might be thinking how an ill-health or sickness could be a blessing. Let us understand this through an example.
Many people must have heard this some or the otherwhere. A person who never gets ill; not even suffered from a viral infection ever in his life suddenly gets diagnosed with cancer or stroke or uterine fibroid (in cases of females) or heart attack.
Has anyone ever thought about this? Why is this so?
If one is well aware of the functioning of his body, he notices the minute changes that his body produces very easily. No disease just shows up out of the blue. Disease is a process and one needs tounderstand this particular idea very well. Body or the principle that governs the functioning of the body is highly sensitive and definitely throws off very subtle symptoms whenever it is affected by the disease. It is our incapability to comprehend its language.
No disease ever comes off without any symptoms. Symptoms, in the initial stages, are very very subtle; so subtle that it becomes very easy for one to neglect it. But it is then when the awareness of oneself comes into action.
Why do you get symptoms? Body has its own mechanisms to protect itself. So body throws off symptoms in different areas or parts so that one realizes that there is something wrong going on within; and he can then take the necessary measures to protect himself.
But there are people out there in the world who ignore the little signs and symptoms that body tosses off at intervals; and so it has to throw off something so huge that you are forced to look into the matter and pay attention to the disturbance within. But alas! By the time you start paying attention it is already too late and the disease has almost gone into an irreversible stage – a stage from where there is no way to go back.
The body is just an instrument through which one plays his role and make changes in the world, no matter how small they are. Everyone desires to leave behind a certain impression of them in the world they live in. But to achieve that goal you need to be aware of yourself and the alterations that are going on within you.
What does homoeopathy do? It helps you become more aware of yourself and the mechanisms going on in your body. How does that happen? When you visit a homoeopath he asks you about everything; your appetite, your desires and aversions, your sleep patterns, your dreams, your fears etc. So when he asks you about these in particular, the awareness pattern within you begins in your mind and then you actually start thinking about the matters. You start focusing your energies on the various processes that go on inside you robotically. It never comes to our notice that there has been a certain disturbance constantly happening inside you. Or you are affected at a deeper level by certain things in your life. Until then only a few people notice the changes in their habits, for example, their appetite or thirst have decreased; their sleep has been disturbed for a while, they get anxious when they have to make a public appearance or any other similar thing.
Opting homoeopathy is one way to increase awareness about oneself. Being aware about oneself helps you to avoid the mistakes that you regularly do or you are prone to do.
