SPIRITUAL HOMEOPATHY: HEALING THE SUBTLE BODIESOF THE HUMAN ENERGY SYSTEM

Spiritual homeopathy combines the healing power of homeopathic medicine with apenetrating understanding of the subtle energy bodies in the Human Energy System.These bodies contain our life force, desires and aversions and the soul forces thatdetermine our karma and destiny. They form the context in which we live our lives,either by being balanced and open to life or by being closed and contracted.

The etheric body is the subtle body which contains the regenerative life principlesthat stimulate physical and emotional development; the astral body holds our spirit’slongings and desires and our mentality while the Egoic field showcases ourindividuality and sense of freedom which allows our soul to flourish.

These subtle bodies, described by Dr. Rudolf Steiner in his Anthroposophical writings,can be considered pathways to healing and consciousness. When these bodies fail tothrive or grow appropriately pathology and imbalance harden into a crucible oflimitation and restriction. By addressing healing from this deep level we balance toour genetic pre-disposition, known as miasms, and emotional blockages. This allows agentle transformation to occur, which will eventually bring about balance andharmony so the system can be dynamic and vital again. It will need to be released ofstress and toxins in the process of re-establishing balance. The best medium for thischange is homeopathy.Homeopathy, developed by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann in Germany in 1800, offers themost conscious and effective way of shifting both our genetic pre-dispositions andemotional blockages in a permanent and productive way. Homeopathy helps us moveon in our lives because it can penetrate deep into the core of dysfunction and whatails us.

Homeopathy is the treatment of symptoms using the ancient principle of “like cureslike” so that natural substances, which have a specific imprint on the physical,emotional and mental aspects of our being, can be used to help us decongest what isblocked and stagnant.

These substances are made up into solutions of miniscule dilutions. They do not over-power the system but gently stimulates it to generate its own vitality and to strive forbalance and health on all levels. It is through the direct application of these minisculeremedies that we redress what is disturbed in our physical, etheric, astral and egoicbodies.In recent years the healing properties of sound and color, transformed intohomeopathic remedies, have been used to distress and unblock the human energysystem. They have proved to be gentle, safe and effective in healing a variety ofpathology, as well as emotional and mental problems.

Each one of the subtle bodies resonates with and is especially attuned to personalarchetypes of empowerment, responsibility and vitality as well as to life issues andchallenges. They resonate with the chakras, or energy centers, of the human energysystem. Color and sound, as it happens, have a particular affinity to these centers.

All charkas also have a “right of being” that corresponds to it. The Root chakra,located at the base of the spine, has a right to the life we say we want. It helps usbecome anchored in the earth forces that control cycles and rhythms and helps usmove from a place of belonging and connection. It helps us to receive what isrightfully ours to experience in a way that allows us to assimilate what is nutritiousand eliminate what is harmful. This occurs on all levels of being. When we do notpossess a sense of this right to our own life then we lose our grounding, bothpsychologically and energetically, and lack confidence and authority about who weare and where we belong.

The right of the Sacral Chakra, which is located below the navel in the area of thepelvis, is our right to pleasure and abundance. When we deny ourselves ease andpleasure, abundance and prosperity we operate in a paradyne of lack and limitation.Whether we experience guilt or a sense of unworthiness we are not claiming our rightto that which matches the abundance and creativity of the universe.

The right of the Solar Plexus Chakra, located below the sternum, in the area of thestomach, is the right to our own power. This means that we know we are worthy ofwhat we say we want, and we have sufficient self esteem to generate confidence andpersonal power.

The right of the Heart Chakra is the right to give and receive love. Many people onlyexperience love as a giving out without cultivating the capacity to receive. When weallow love to enter into our lives we calm the heart and stabilize our emotions.

The right of the Throat Chakra is our right to self expression. When we express ourtruth, both our personal truth and the higher truth of God we open a channel forhealing to happen in our life. Suppressing self expression creates tension andpathology.

The right of the Brow Chakra is our right to our own thoughts. Freedom to thinkintuitively is essential for a strong spirit. Discernment, knowledge, intuition andimagination foster wisdom from which we make sense of the pain, loss, separationand traumas of our life.

The right of the Crown Chakra is the right to our indelible connection with theCreator. Without a sense of this eternal connection we give over our spiritual will toothers to define what and who we are as spirit.

By giving the right homeopathic color or sound remedy we can help the chakrasstabilize. For the Root Chakra we use red for a person who does not experience theright to their own life. It has been used successfully after divorce, illness, separationand loss. Each chakra resonates with a color that brings these rights into focus andclarity.

Sound remedies bring balance to the astral forces where our desires and longings cantake sway over our lives and cause us to avoid fulfilling our destiny in life.This work is now being taught in weekend seminars for those who wish to see if thiswork is of interest to them, and in two year training programs that invite seriousstudy and development of practical clinical skills.

The Homeopathic Color Remedies

These remedies were developed in 1990 in the north of England by the author. Theycorrespond to the energy centers in the human energy system known as chakras. Thechakras are vortices of energy connected to the etheric forces of the subtle bodieswhich exist in the auric field of a person, animal of plant. They relate to all lifematter.

Each chakra nourishes a particular center that, in turn, feeds energy into the ductlessglands of the physical body.

The physical body is the repository of energy that comes up from the earth and downfrom the cosmos. The earth forces are the magnetic forces that work to ground andanchor us physically, emotionally and mentally into life. They pull us down andstabilize us.

The cosmic forces lift our spirit up. They have sway over our mind and emotions. Theywork in conjunction with the earth forces to create a flow of energy that we use inour daily life to fulfill our tasks and live out our destiny.The homeopathic color remedies work at the level of the chakras to decongest,stimulate and tonify them. They come in three different potencies of 6x, 12c and 30cand in ten different colors.

The colors relate to the chakra, the endocrine gland and the life issues of that center.

By adding the potentized color the chakras find their balance and encourage healing.

How are the color remedies made?

Homeopathic color remedies are made by taking pure water in glass tumblers andplacing them in the sun. Auspicious days are chosen such as the winter solstice and

summer solstice, days of maximum and minimum light on which to make theseremedies.

The tumblers are placed in a quiet place without much commotion and coloredtheatrical gels or colored silks are placed on top of and around the glasses. Theglasses are placed on small mirrors to maximize the color vibrating in the glass.The glasses are left in the day light for approximately four hours. The solution is fixedwith alcohol and then potentized in the homeopathic fashion in one drop of solutionto ten drops of alcohol for each dilution. Remedies are standardized in 6x, 12c and30c potency and have been made at Helios Pharmacy in Tumbridge Wells, Kent, UK.

Homeopathic “provings”

Their case is taken by a homeopath and thoroughly reviewed for chronic andacute conditions, emotional states of mind and current activity level and stress. Asingle dose of the remedy is then given to the individual who is the prover and allsensations, feelings, activities and reactions are dully noted by the homeopath for upto three weeks. Provings of the homeopathic color remedies have revealed theinteresting way that potentized colored light works on the human energy system.

Where Did the Color Remedies Originate?

The individual colors of the light spectrum were potentized by Ambika Wauters duringthe Winter Solstice of 1989 in northern England. The second, more formal, proving ofthe colors were done in 1992 at Helios Pharmacy in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England.Those same remedies are available today to professional homeopaths as well as laypractitioners. Ambika suggests that they are similar to flower essences and tissue saltsas they work to rebalance energy states.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HOMEOPATHIC COLOR AND ASTROLOGYBy Ambika Wauters, R. S. HOM, UK, director of The School of Spiritual Homeopathy,Tucson, Arizona, USA

Astrology offers us a real understanding of the rhythms and cycles of life. Wecan experience the workings of the cosmos through our energy centers, orchakras. When we are in the midst of a Saturn or Uranus return or Mercuryretrograde we become aware of irritation, grief, fear and negative patterns thatlimit our life. Our attitudes about ourselves and others emerge during challengesand they beg to be harvested from our consciousness so that we can moveforward in life freely and lovingly. Healing these limitations with color vibrationsis both healing and effective.

The homeopathic color remedies consist of ten color remedies, proven andadministered in clinical trails, over the last 15 years. They redress imbalance inthe Human Energy System by stimulating the etheric field in which the chakras,or energy centers, are held. They are energy at its purest. The colors that havebeen made into remedies are: red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, indigoblue, violet, pink, magenta and spectrum (all colors).

Each chakra resonates with a planet. We know that Saturn affects the RootChakra. Whenever we change home, have issues of belonging in community,tribe or family we know Saturn is working in our energy field, clearing awaywhat is in the way of our fulfilling our destiny. When Saturn is inauspicious inour chart we will be too grounded in duty and sacrifice. When it is not stronglyaspected enough we may be flighty and ungrounded.

We can see, for instance, that Saturn’s recent two and a half year cycle throughthe sign of Cancer, may have brought up issues around housing or home, wherewe belong and where we can best thrive. Using homeopathic red, whichresonates with the Root Chakra and with Saturn, helps anchor us in life and letsus know we are entitled to the life we say we want. It supports us to fully liveour life.

The planet Jupiter rules the Sacral Chakra. This is the planet of expansion andgrowth. When the Sacral Chakra is constricted and tight, or when pleasure andabundance, well being and self acceptance are limited we need to see whereJupiter sits in our solar chart. Using the color orange, which resonates with thischakra and planet, will help it expand and stabilize in a positive way.

The Sun and Mars rule the Solar Plexus. They represent levels of personalidentity and a level of aggression that helps us go after what we want in ourlife. Yellow is the color for this chakra and represents solar energy. It is the

homeopathic color remedy which will expand our sense of who we are in life andlet our light shine brightly. When we are challenged and our Selfhood isdiminished a dose of this remedy strengthens and revitalizes us. It helps the sunto shine in our inner world.

Green is the color that rules the Heart Chakra, along with the planet Venus andthe Sun. This color brings healing when we are tired, over-stressed and unsureabout love. Pink also resonates with this center and provides a quality of gentle,loving warmth that nourishes the heart. When we are in the midst of a Saturn orUranus return, or the planets are inauspicious because of some conjunction,these colors deeply affect our sense of well being and give us peace and joy.

Mercury rules the Throat Chakra and our personal expression. During a MercuryRetrograde when communication systems crash around us and simple thingsbecome complex and mismanaged homeopathic Turquoise helps support theintegrity of this chakra and the influence of Mercury. It supports us expressingour truth, both our personal truth and the Higher Truth, and using our will in apositive way to see things through.

The Brow Chakra is ruled by the Moon. Every two and a half days the Moonchanges signs. When we need clarity of thought and vision for our lives IndigoBlue resonates with this chakra and soothes the power of the moon’s forces onour consciousness. We are learning that eclipses create severe mental stress forpeople, who are dependent on its energy to stay focused and clear. When themoon becomes full many people become too highly charged with its volatileenergy. A dose of Indigo homeopathic color helps stabilize this center duringthese times.

The highest chakra, the Crown, resonates with violet. It does not correspond toa planet but opens up a consciousness to the entire cosmos itself. It works onthe divine principles of spirit that transcend the zodiac. Cultivating anawareness of this center offers bedrock in spirituality that goes beyond theturning of the planets. It provides a sense of oneness with all life and awarenessin the transience of even the furthest stars.
