We all have passions, a calling and true potential for living life to the fullest, whether it be in our work, personal growth, relationship, or spiritual contentment. However, many of us give up on pursuing our purpose and then struggle with the consequences of frustration, self -reproach, feelings of failure and regret. We cling to a negative belief system inherited from genetics, past traumas, our environment or present life situations. These ingrained unconscious beliefs, or "delusions", give many people the conscious reality of feeling trapped, held back, stuck, indecisive, fearful and even lost. Taking the often modest effort needed to turn our dreams into reality, seems like too much of a hurdle to even imagine. These delusions (that everyone has) are our core misconceptions of reality. Our distorted perception of the outer world is merely a mirror image of our clouded inner state. This dirty lens blinds us from the abundant sources of human triumph.

Homeopathy is a natural system of medicine that was developed 200 years ago and has been used by millions of people worldwide. The remedies are all FDA approved, safe, gentle and non-addictive. The classical homeopath will select a carefully chosen homeopathic remedy that if taken in its crude form will create the same symptoms that the patient is experiencing. Because the body cannot hold two like diseases, the remedy balances out the disease and literally removes it from the body. This is the Law of Similars, or Treating Like with Like. Hense the name Homeopathy, which means "Same Disease". In the proving, (blind study), the provers document each physical, mental and emotional symptom that they experience while taking the tested substance. If a prover experiences a unusual sense of fear, panic, insecurity and indecision while taking this substance, then this substance will also heal these exact emotions and removed these delusions from the conscious and unconscious state. By matching the symptoms of the substance to the symptoms of the patient, they cancel each other out and a state of balance is achieved.

Here are some actual case scenarios:

John's Inner Critic Delusion says, "I don't have what it takes to reach my goal" leads to acceptance of the situation and ultimately, giving up. This giving up often resulted in disappointment in himself, depression and further sense of hopelessness.

The homeopathic remedy that was selected matched John's state and literally removed the human barrier of this limiting self- view. In the return to a true balanced state, John experienced a renewed sense of strength and self confidence. The once insurmountable goal became a true state of accomplishment.

David's Uphill Delusion that said, "life is always a struggle" created a world view of hardship and a self- fulfilled prophesy of hardship.

The homeopathic remedy selected that fit David's pessimistic state shifted the outer perspective from a negative, dreary view to one of optimism and possibilities. David has a whole new lease on life.

Celia's Insecure Delusion that said, "I might lose control if I reach out of my comfort zone" resulted in making life decisions based on fear or worst case scenario, rather than pure choice and a gut knowingness.

Once this illusory straight jacket was removed, Cecelia experienced a new found sense of freedom and pride as she stepped into her true potential. Because this insecure delusion was removed, her consciousness does not reflect on bad things happening anymore. She is trying new things, letting go of the control issues and taking risks. She feels that this is the person she was always meant to be.

Lisa's Image Delusion said, "What will my friends or my family think of me if I take a chance and reach for my dream." This dependency was resulting in Lisa living a life based on others opinions and losing the opportunity to experience her unique and independent life purpose.

When you stand up for your ideals, most people will respect you, not shun you. The fear of rejection was so strong in Lisa that she was afraid to put herself into a vulnerable position regarding her relationship, career or lifelong dreams. The Homeopathy healed her trauma of childhood rejection so that Lisa began standing up for herself without the fear of being abandoned. She became much more at ease in her relationship and started her own business that she had always wanted.

Sean's Failure Delusion said, "What if I can't do it? What if I make a mistake? What if it doesn't work out?" This prevalent fear is generally much worse that the reality of any possible failure. Sean was so afraid of failing that he would only try things that he felt he was perfect at. He remained in a job for years that he disliked and spent so much time trying to be perfect in his tasks that he could not live up to his own expectations. This is an incredible amount of self-induced pressure that would bog down, stifle and exhaust anyone.

Sean was taught through his childhood experiences that mistakes were bad. Instead of learning that mistakes are the ultimate learning tools, he spent his time walking a tightrope with the fear of making one wrong step. After taking his constitutional homeopathic remedy that fit his core delusion, Sean began to look at life in a completely different way. After six months, his life of fear shifted to a completely new perspective of healthy and fun challenges. He left his job, is in a new relationship and recently developed and sold an invention that he had ruminated on for years.

Homeopathy is a gift from the Universe that allows us to reach our potential and achieve human triumph on a daily basis.
