Homeopath Edel Bolger O’Hora (November  2022)
​
Everyone one of us have our individual personality based on the traits from the ancestors and the effects of adapting to the environment we were brought up in from the family home and society. We all have our individual ways of communicating to each other.  One of the things we do know, is that the benefits of communicating well brings a sense of trust and love to our relationships. Whenever, there are opposing views within the family then this warmth and trust establishes the environment where sharing of thoughts and feelings is possible.

​There are many parenting styles, autocratic, permissive and democratic. Do you know which style you lean towards? This course is a chance to think about your style and the effect it has the people in your family. Body language is a personal way of expressing emotions when words don’t. Positive body gestures are a sign of confidence and security. They are a sign of active participation and leave a good impression in your relationships. Have you considered your body language within the family. 
 
This module consider how we show people in the family that we are listening and interested in what others have to say or how they feel. It also considers where we find it difficult to listen and consider others feelings. 
 
Some of the language in the Declaration of the Rights of the Child (1924) as published by the International Save the Children Union in Geneva on 23 February 1923 may be a bit dated but the ideas still apply to the family today. It is as follows: 

• The child must be given the means requisite for its normal development, both materially and spiritually.
• The child must be given the means requisite for its normal development, both materially and spiritually. The child that is hungry must be fed, the child that is sick must be nursed, the child that is backward must be helped, the delinquent child must be reclaimed, and the orphan and the waif must be sheltered and succoured.
• The child must be the first to receive relief in times of distress.
• The child must be put in a position to earn a livelihood, and must be protected against every form of exploitation.
• The child must be brought up in the consciousness that its talents must be devoted to the service of its fellow men.

 
How do we apply these ideas in the home? What do they mean? This is what they look like in every day life.

Homeopathic Remedies that can help the atmosphere in the home where there is tension and growth. For example, where there is forboding and fear Aconite is a refreshing remedy bringing the body back to balance. Where there is irritability and an aversion to company then Natrum Muriaticum is very helpful.
 
This article is about communication being individual to ourselves and we can be aware or unaware of our effect within the family. Becoming aware of ourselves and our individual ways of communicating good and bad fosters trust and confidence with in the family. This trust and confidence allows for people to swop ideas and thoughts within the family. Lastly, where there is an imbalance we can use the homeopathic remedies to help open up a space where we can be true to ourselves and express our issues good and bad within the family.
