IT IS ALL IN THE MIND !!

How many of you all have seen the movie INSIDE OUT? If not, please go watch it. It is a wonderful movie!

Inside Out is a film about an 11 year old girl named Riley who moves to San Francisco with her parents. Riley experiences a transformation in her mind and finds out who she is as a person as she tries to adjust to her new life and the difficult process of growing up. All her emotions i.e. happiness, sadness/grief, jealousy, disgust, anger, etc  are shown as different persons and we get to know how easy it is to know that all emotions are just packed in a small space called MIND and we realise its just a short span called LIFE in which we experience these feelings.

The famous novelist, Jeffrey Eugenides says, " Biology gives you a brain, Life turns it into a mind"

What are these emotions made of? Or from where do they come? Do they come from brain? Does any organ in our body synthesize or generate these emotions? According to me, NO! These are just names of the feelings we experience in a particular situation. They are generated by an unknown force called MIND! The place where it all starts. There is no science which can find where mind is. It is an abstract. To experience the power of mind all we need to do is be a little alert and be aware of our existence every single moment. All these emotions are developed by our day to day experiences, surroundings and most importantly the aspect in which you see a particular situation,

Now what is the relation between this so called mind and Homeopathy?

The only relation is Homoeopathy will catch out all the emotions thrown out of our mind and will try to find out the reason behind that particular emotion! No emotion is good or bad, it is just RIGHT according to that person, at that time. All we need is a bit of awareness and find the reason behind that feeling. Where homoeopathy helps is if that emotion is constant and causing any discomfort to the patient and converting it to different physical diseases; it helps to eliminate that emotion through useful means and cure the physical problem. The condition is called PSYCHO-SOMATIC DISORDERS. i.e where due to disturbed mind, you are ought to attract physical disorders, like diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders, skin diseases, and so on.

Finding the temperament and constitution of a person is the most crucial element of Homoeopathic case taking.

TEMPERAMENT – a certain way a person acts and behaves in a given situation.

CONSTITUTION – physical and mental make-up of a person.

How are you as a person? How do you react to certain situations? Do you cry? What was the happiest and the most sad moment in your life and your reactions to the same? Who is the closest person to you and why? How was your childhood? Are there any suppressions in your life? Were you married according to your will or not? What is the most wild action you have taken or you wish to take in your life? Are some the few question we ask to get to know you.

Of course the answers come with comfort. How open you are with your doctor, it all depends upon that; and its solely the doctor’s duty to make you feel that! When we get these emotions, we give you certain mind exercises that you an practice to feel ok every-time you experience some extreme emotion. Lets see some of the exercises you can practice:

 JOURNALLING :

      This is my personal favorite. Write down everything you feel. LITERALLY everthing. What you did the whole day, what was that that made you upset, what made you happy, what did you learn from each day, how was you day, bad or good, like every little thing you feel. It will take just 10 mins of your busy day, just do it and see the difference!

TALK IT OUT:

If you are not comfortable or don’t like to write down in the fear that someone might read it, talk your emotions out to someone you are comfortable with. Your husband ,wife, boy-friend/girl-friend, fiancée, mother, father, brother, sibling, anyone! It helps you getting out of the setback you may have faced during the day.

                                                   

   MIRROR EXERCISE :
   Stand in front of the mirror at any time of the day, (preferable in the morning,) and say it out loud (in your comfortable language) “I LOVE MYSELF AND

                                               

 EXERCISE AND MEDITATE:
 Exercising creates energy that circulates all through your body and gives a soothing effect to your inner self and mind. If the exercise is associated with meditation, there is nothing like it, as when you meditate, there is absolute nothing with you except you, and at end of the day, all that matters is your happiness.

                                     

  FOLLOW YOUR HEART/MIND:
  Whatever are your hobbies or that you have missed out on, in life, just complete that. You may be 60 years and you want to hike/trek, just do it. You may be just a bathroom singer, just sing aloud as if no one is listening, you might be afraid to dance, but believe me, if you dance as if no one is wathing, you are the best dancer with your own rhythm! You might not be financially sound, and you want to go travel, go take a short trio just somewhere near to your place, it wll give you happiness which cannot match anything.

Just do what your mind says!

                                                               

   

Try to inculcate atleast one of the above and you see a huge difference in your life. If the emotions are causing problems do not hesitate to consult a doctor ASAP. 

Mind is something on which I can talk and write pages! So this was a brief about the most important part of our human system. Please take good are of it, for there is no doctor who can cure if it is broken! You are the one who can fix it. So handle with care.
