My CPD experience!

Hi everyone

 

Homeopaths like other professionals commit to life long learning; we call this continuing professional development or CPD for short. I have just completed a CPD course called Orion which is run by Mike Bridger and Dion Tabret from the Contemporary College of Homeopathy (the college where I studied for my licentiate  to be a homeopath). I have a lovely new certificate to say that I made it through and reached the required standard to become one of the courses graduates. I am pleased with myself as I expect you can tell!

The Orion course ran for two days each month over the last five months, so quite a commitment in both time and brain power, both valuable and often in short supply of late! However, I feel that the course has been very helpful to me and will also benefit my patients because I have gained new knowledge, revised and revisited ideas and methods that needed some more thought and spent time with some lovely new people. All in all I feel energised and am reminded of the wonders that homeopathy can achieve.

I have been fortunate to be able to attend Orion and learn so much but I am also very lucky to be able to keep learning and adding to my knowledge each day as I work with people who are experiencing the help that homeopathy can bring.

Each day is infact a CPD day and we are all doing it.

Am just off now to get my certificate framed!

Have a great week and happy CPD!

Some thoughts about life...

Hi everyone

I would like to share some thoughts with you about life. I know, sounds a bit heavy but bear with me.

First of all let me put things in to context. I recently attended a funeral and the vicar in his address highlighted three very important points about life. These points really resonated with me and I hope he doesn't mind me passing them on to you.

Life is short, no matter how long we live it is but a speck in time. It is what we do with that life that matters.

We take each other for granted. When was the last time you told someone you loved them?

We don't know what tomorrow will bring but there is a time for everything, a time to dance and a time to die, a time to sow and a time to reap..............

Some really big things to think about I felt. I will leave you with these thoughts.

Hope you all have a great week.

What Doctor's Don't Tell You website

Hi everyone

Some information from the What Doctor's Don't Tell You website or WDDTY suggests that the drug company producing Tamiflu has hidden research into the ineffectiveness of the drug and also the dangers of the drug. To find out more follow this link: http://www.wddty.com/tamiflu-drug-co-hides-research-into-its-ineffectiveness-and-dangers.html

The WDDTY website is a great source of useful information and it does exactly as it's name suggests providing independent information on the dangers of medicines and alternatives that work.

If you don't know the site have a look and see what you think!

Hope in 2012!

Hi everyone

I love snowdrops and this week these beautiful flowers are coming in to bloom. Snowdrops are like the rainbow I always think, reminders that there is always hope. Hope that winter won't last forever and that the rain will eventually stop!

Hope that things will get better.

I hope that we can all go forward in to 2012 and find whatever it is that will make things better for us!

'There are more things in heaven and earth Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy'

Hi everyone

'There are more things in heaven and earth Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy'

A quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet and the theme for this weeks blog!

One of the problems some people have with homeopathy is that they don't know how it works and therefore can't accept that it does! Well I would say that I don't know how the tv works but I have evidence that it does. I certainly can't work out how I can type this and it will appear on my blog and on your computer screens via the internet. However, I know that it will.

It wasn't until the 1980's that science began to understand how morphine worked in the body but it had been used for years as a pain killing drug. It's effects were well known. Today modern drugs act on the body but we don't necessarily fully understand how but we can observe their effects.

I know homeopathy works because I can see the effects it has on my patients and I know the help it has given me and my family.

There is also scientific evidence that backs up my observations. So indeed there are more things in heaven and earth!

Happy New year!

Hi everyone

Well, the christmas decorations have been taken down and put back in their box. It's been a week since new year resolutions were made with the hope that this time we would stick to them, at least until we had finished all that christmas cake and hidden the rest of the chocolate! But what is it all about?

(A big question for the beginning of January I know but 'bear with' as they say! )

Many of us plan to eat more carefully, drink less alcohol, exercise more and become fitter in 2012. It is to improve our physical well being that we wish for change as a new year begins. We are right to look after our bodies but I also think we need to take a deeper look at what we believe health actually is and begin to think about how we can feel better in ourselves as well as in our bodies. Feeling better physically will help, no doubt about that, but it is only part of the picture.

I believe homeopathy has it's part to play in helping us become as healthy as we can. Not only can homeopathy help with physical discomforts such as colds, coughs,flu  and those undefined winter bugs, it can also help us feel better in ourselves. I know homepathy can help with the symptoms of stress, low self confidence, anxiety, low self esteem and those 'winter blues' that so many people suffer from. It is about both physical and emotional well being, looking at the whole person and not just one aspect, we are after all, very complex beings.

Why not take a closer look at your health and well being and try homeopathy to help you support the changes you would like to come about this year. It is time for change and I think you will be pleasantly surprised at what we can achieve together.

Keep an eye on my website for winter health alert advice and special offers to help you achieve better health in 2012. Wishing you a happy and peaceful 2012.
