Reflecting upon the past three months, I am struck by the profound and beautiful nature of this journey. There have been pivotal moments - some subtle, others more pronounced - that have illuminated the path I am meant to follow in this ongoing exploration of self and healing.
During this time, I have had the honour of witnessing individuals openly sharing their personal healing journeys. Their stories, filled with challenges such as abuse, addiction, loss, abandonment, and illness, have deeply moved me. These shared experiences have often brought me to tears, as I recognise the immense battles each person has faced to arrive at their current point in life. It’s a poignant reminder that adversity, in its many forms, is a universal thread weaving through the tapestry of human experience.
These encounters have prompted me to reflect on my own life’s winding path - a narrative filled with its own set of trials and triumphs. While I intend to delve deeper into my personal story in the future, I acknowledge that these reflections have been instrumental in shaping my current perspective and purpose.
As I stand at this juncture, I am filled with gratitude for the experiences and individuals that have shaped recent months. Each interaction, each story, and each moment of reflection has reinforced my commitment to this path of discovery, healing, and shared humanity.
Illuminating Encounters: Insights from Declan, Reeta, Janey, and Daniel
Over the past few months, our community has been blessed with the presence of some truly remarkable individuals: Reeta Pohjonen, Janey Lavelle, Daniel Burge, and most notably, Declan Hammond. Each of them brought their unique perspectives and wisdom, enriching our shared journey towards healing and self-discovery. Among them, Declan’s insights into masculine energy struck a particularly resonant chord with me, offering clarity and direction that I had long sought.
Declan Hammond: A Journey into Soul Medicine
Declan Hammond is a name that carries weight in the realms of homeopathy, transpersonal therapy, and shamanic practice. His journey began in 1976 when he first encountered homeopathy in Germany. This initial intrigue led him to study in India and later at the College of Homeopathy in London, where he earned his licentiate in 1987. But Declan’s path was never confined to a single modality; his relentless quest for effective healing tools led him to integrate diverse traditions into a cohesive practice he aptly calls “Soul Medicine.” This approach weaves together homeopathy, shamanism, and tantra yoga, creating a tapestry that supports deep personal growth and spiritual transformation.
Homeopathy: A Path to Wholeness
Declan’s relationship with homeopathy is profound. He doesn’t see it merely as a treatment modality but as an invitation to live harmoniously with one’s deepest nature. In his view, a homeopathic consultation is the beginning of a journey toward wholeness, where every aspect of a person’s life is considered essential to understanding the whole. This holistic perspective ensures that healing is not just about alleviating symptoms but about nurturing the entire being.
Shamanism: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Healing
Another pillar of Declan’s work is shamanism, one of the oldest spiritual and healing practices known to humanity. It involves connecting with ancestral wisdom and the primal energies of life. Declan employs techniques such as creative visualisation and shamanic journeying to help individuals recover lost parts of their psyche, transforming challenging experiences into opportunities for deep healing and spiritual awakening.
Tantra: Embracing Sacred Masculinity
Tantra yoga, the third component of Declan’s practice, emphasises the integration of body, mind, and spirit. Through tantra, Declan explores the sacred aspects of masculinity, encouraging men to embrace vulnerability and authenticity. He addresses the societal constructs that often restrict men, advocating for a model of masculinity that embodies inner strength, well-being, and true purpose.
A Personal Connection
During his visit, Declan’s discourse on masculine energy resonated deeply with me. He spoke about the fragility of the masculine in contemporary times and the importance of men embracing their authentic selves. His insights provided clarity I had been yearning for, perhaps unknowingly, throughout my life. The weekend was sprinkled with serendipitous events that felt like gentle nudges from the universe, urging me to pay attention. These ‘coincidences’ served as affirmations, guiding me toward a path that aligns with my true self. I am grateful for having heeded these signs and look forward to sharing more about the magic imparted by Janey, Reeta, and Daniel in the near future.
Reeta Pohjonen: Integrating Mysticism and Healing
Reeta Pohjonen is a Finnish homeopath, mystical mentor, and astrologer. Her practice weaves together homeopathy, astrology, shiatsu, and the sacred feminine to guide individuals toward their divine calling and authentic soul journey. Reeta’s approach emphasises the importance of beauty and mysticism in healing, offering a holistic path to well-being.
Janey Lavelle: Nurturing Hormonal Health
Janey Lavelle specialises in supporting women’s hormonal health through homeopathy, energy, and bodywork treatments. With over 15 years of experience, she focuses on creating vitality and balance, helping women navigate various stages of reproductive health. Janey’s approach combines ancient wisdom with modern science, addressing hormonal imbalances, mood disorders, and fertility challenges.
Daniel Burge: Exploring Consciousness and Identity
Daniel Burge’s work centers on realising one’s potential through methodologies like Source Medicine, Identity-Oriented Psychotrauma Therapy (IoPT), depth homeopathy, and family constellations. He guides individuals in understanding their inner terrain, facilitating personal growth and healing. Daniel’s practice reflects a desire to collaborate, evolve, and individuate beyond structures that inhibit freedom.
Each of these beautiful practitioners brought unique insights and approaches to our community, enriching our collective journey toward healing and self-discovery. Their contributions have been invaluable, and I look forward to further exploring the wisdom they have shared in depth in the future.
Answering the Call: Welcoming New Clients and Launching My Online Presence
Embarking on the path of accepting clients has been both humbling and exhilarating. The opportunity to assist others in their healing journeys is a profound honour, yet it brings its own set of introspections much like in my recent post on how Homeopathy can support men's mental health. I often find myself pondering: Can I truly guide others while still navigating my own healing process? This reflection led me to a comforting realisation - healing is not a destination but a continuous journey. Each of us is at a unique point on this path, and our experiences, both struggles and triumphs, equip us to support one another.
Recognising my tendency to be a fervent ‘doer,’ often teetering on the edge of distraction and procrastination, I channelled this energy into creating this website - a sanctuary where I can openly share my passions and beliefs. This platform has become a curated outlet for expression, allowing me to articulate insights that have long simmered within me. The act of opening up in this manner is both unfamiliar and liberating, marking a significant step in my personal evolution.
Since extending an invitation to potential clients, I’ve been heartened by the overwhelming response. It’s deeply moving to have individuals perceive me as someone capable of facilitating their healing. Yet, this influx also underscores a societal yearning for healing beyond the confines of conventional medicine. Many are seeking holistic and spiritual avenues to mend their bodies and souls - pathways that honour the natural rhythms of life and the profound connection between mind, body, and spirit.
As I stand at this juncture, I am filled with gratitude for the experiences and individuals that have shaped recent months. Each interaction, each story, and each moment of reflection has reinforced my commitment to this path of discovery, healing, and shared humanity.
