The practice of holding space is so important in homeopathy. It's the practice of deep listening, and support without judgement. It is always my intention to hold space for my clients so that we can look directly at what needs healing. Being held in this way allows for deep healing to take place. Here is a lovely article about the practice and importance of holding space for others: http://heatherplett.com/2015/03/hold-space/ photo credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/48778414@N04/7646188700 via Creative Commons 2.0 Read more →

What I find particularly important about their findings is the focus on the immune system, and how homeopathic remedies activated this area of the body to fight against cancer cells on two different levels. This would explain why any lab tests on remedies done outside of the human body fail to produce results. Homeopathic medicine can do amazing things, but only within the potential of the human body.

British doctors who support homeopathy and other alternative treatments
