Home for the holidays. What is home for you?
In this issue, we ask you to join us on the walk home with an offering of how homeopathy, a listening ear, compassion and Bach Flower essences can ease the ache as we journey together on the path of health and healing that leads to freedom.
Our contributors in this issue speak honestly about what it means to be homeless and where home is really found. Family of origin healing, changing of perceptions about what home is before a birth and after a birth and how/where we find home when we are in a country not of our birthplace.
Our regular section from Thinking Mom’s Revolution features a video of grandparents sharing what it is to be with their kids and grandkids when autism is a part of home life.
Kids Corner features Jewel and her sick chicken – how homeopathy helps at home in the free-range chicken yard!

Nature is our great reminder that Spring signals a reawakening and a greening of all that has dwelt in darkness for the long winter. As the soil thaws, all the organisms that comprise the soil reawaken. This allows all plant life to reawaken as well.
This issue of Homeopathy First Magazine explores the microcosm of soil and plants and the human microbiome. The dirt, the soil, the earth, the planet, the universe is a living entity, as is our physical inner human form. As humans, we have the gift of being conscious of this organizing life force.

In this issue, we offer a novel yet deep way of understanding our search for healing and wholeness when faced with the suffering of those we love. Aging, grief, a loss, a limitation, an illness or a diagnosis like autism in a family can catapult us to foreign places within the range of human emotion and thought.
All of our contributors are sharing from very deep personal places of loss or from their search for meaning when illness, aging or imminent death temporarily limits our worldview as humans. Every spiritual tradition and culture has celebrated the light returning after a period of darkness. Some of our contributors offer hope by sharing traditions from cultures that have been in existence long before ‘modern’ medicine.

So many places to travel and explore – perhaps you have an inner voice that calls to you, or sometimes a gentle heartbeat beckons you, drawing you to the next adventure in your life. The inner journey can be as rich, as full and rewarding as your journeys to exotic countries or as near to you as lake and woods.
This issue celebrates the many journeys we can take, both inner and outer. Wherever you travel, homeopathy and a remedy kit can be just the ‘friend you need’ when the going gets bumpy!

The theme of Birth goes beyond ‘the remedies’ to offer a new paradigm for health and healing. Homeopathy really is a first in how to think of health, sickness and what medicines are really for…to help support the Vital Force move beyond creating symptoms at a physical level because of imbalance at an energetic level.
For many, our first awakening is often a crisis and for some, that crisis is poor health. This is a hard and challenging awakening…to find the spiritual meaning when we are in the midst of our own health crisis or when our healthy babies regress into a nightmare of pain, inflammation and toxicity. This is hard work. Work that feels like the furthest thing from spirituality. It is though, a labour and a transition…with few rules about timing, contractions, pushing and birthing.”
