Kate:

This is the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast, episode number 152, with Joette Calabrese.

Joette:

Hi, I’m Joette Calabrese, and I welcome you to our health care movement — yours, mine and the countless men and women across the globe who have retaken control of their families’ health with Practical Homeopathy®.

So, for the next few minutes, let’s link our arms as I demystify homeopathy — what was once considered an esoteric paradigm — into an understandable, reproducible, safe and effective health care solution available to all.

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®.

Introduction: I Can Predict Your Future

Kate: (01:00 )

Welcome back to the Practical Homeopathy® podcast with Joette Calabrese. I am your co-host, Kate. And I’m thrilled to be here with Joette, our homeopathy expert, who always shares her wisdom and practical insights and experiences so that you can become a confident healer in your family.

Today, we’re diving into a fascinating topic: the art and power of observation and homeopathy, or what we’re calling “I Can Predict Your Future.” I know you’ve got some insights, Joette,  to share about how observing people — and even pets — can reveal so much about their health and guide us to the right remedies.

So, let’s get started, right?

Joette:

Yes. Hi, Kate.

Kate:

Today, you’re going to tell us how we can predict our future or the future of someone else.

Joette:

That’s right. As you know — I have to say this — that one of the most powerful tools in homeopathy isn’t a remedy bottle necessarily, or repertory, or even a materia medica. It’s our ability to observe.

So, within a few minutes of meeting someone, I can often get a sense of whether they’re headed toward a robust, vibrant life or if they’re veering towards illness.

And it’s not about judgment. It’s about noticing patterns and priorities that tell a story about their health and their thinking.

The Art of Observation: What Are We Looking For?

Kate: (02:21 )

That’s so interesting. Tell us more about that. What kinds of things are you looking for when you observe someone?

Joette:

Well, sometimes it starts with the little details.

For example, what are they drinking? Are they sipping sparkling water, or is it a martini? (And maybe the second or third one.) What they choose gives a window … What they choose to drink gives us a window into their priorities.

Are they reading a book on self-improvement? You can find that out by talking to them and asking them what they do in their spare time.

Are they consumed — you can see this immediately — by gossip or about complaints.

And are there conversations focused on problems like an upcoming … an event? Caring for a loved one? And it depends on how they care for that loved one. Is it done with joy? Is it done with humor? Is it done with a burdened attitude?

Or raising their children. Raising their children with intention or saying, “Well, I don’t know how to do that, so I just go to the doctor and get a medication for the child. I don’t have any interest in learning how to take care of this or that. That’s the doctor’s job.”

But I also notice physical cues, and those are the ones we see right away. I mean — these others that I’ve just discussed — are, really, once you get into a conversation with someone.

But physical cues: Where is their weight distributed? For example, if the weight is all in the belly, then we start thinking about insulin resistance.

How they carry themselves: Are their shoulders back or their shoulders leaning forward?

And how they speak: If they look you in the eye, and they speak to you with intention.

These things aren’t just random. They’re clues to their overall, I don’t know, shall we say, vitality and their overall attitude towards life.

Now, I don’t want to be unfair. I have to say this, that there are times when we all have downsides in our lives. To catch a vignette of someone’s life could be unfair.

They might’ve just gotten really bad news. And they’re normally buoyant, but right now they’re thinking differently, and it feels as though the weight of the world is on their shoulders. And so, we do have to take that into consideration.

But generally speaking, observation is our cornerstone.

It’s like being a detective. When you’re taking a case and working on someone to help them with using homeopathy, it’s actually even more important to observe the person or the animal or the baby than it is to ask questions because the baby, the animal, the sleeping person can’t give you an answer. So, we must spend a lot of time concentrating on observing people or animals: what they do when they give us information about themselves.

And it doesn’t have to be verbal, as I’m saying, it’s just observational. They’re really handing us their pearls, their unique symptoms and behaviors. And as long as we’re there to observe on it, we’re not going to interpret. We’re just observing.

We’re not thinking, “Well, that person must be toxic,” or “That person must have parasites,” or “That person must have, et cetera, et cetera.”

We’re only going by what we observe.

Just Observation, Not Assumptions

Kate: (05:34 )

So, we’re not making assumptions.

Joette:

That’s right. We’re not making assumptions.

If we were taking it as a case, we’re just jotting down what is noticed, not what we think it is that’s causing it. Now those details guide us to the right remedy.

And what I’m talking about is when someone walks into my office or when I meet someone on Zoom the first time taking a case, but I’m also talking about meeting someone at a party. You can get a lot of this information just by meeting someone, talking to someone after church over a cup of coffee. You can get a lot of where this person is headed, where they are, where they’ve been, and where they’re headed by just observing and listening.

Kate:

That makes so much sense. Joette, I love how practical this is. It’s about paying attention to what’s right in front of us, from what you’re saying.

So, I’d love to hear an example of how this can play out in real life.

Real-Life Examples of Observation

Joette: (06:30 )

Well, yes. I was taking the case of a woman not too long ago, who I noticed her eyes were kind of half-masked. They were not open all the way. She pointed it out to me, but I had just noticed it not too long before she said it.

It wasn’t because she was tired necessarily, although she does complain of fatigue from time to time. But it really has to do with what medicine we’re going to choose for this.

So, it might look to others as though maybe she’s on a drug or something. I know she’s not, but what I’m looking at is … I don’t know exactly the reason why, but I do know that eyes that are half-closed while speaking is a specific medicine, and it’s often Gelsemium, for example. And Gelsemium is also wonderful medicine for fatigue that she also complains about.

Now, let m
