The picture of depression shows that a very particular kind of self-activity is required of those affected. A feeling of sluggishness, despair, exhaustion and lack of interest in life, when considered more deeply, is a subtle-feeling that actually rises up from the body. Why does it spring up from the body like a geyser? Read More …

A therapeutic approach to an illness, which requires very clear self-activity from each individual, always needs, in addition to clarifying the cause, the development of a new step in life. The tragedy that illness itself paralyses and deceives the human consciousness will be very consciously taken into account in this article. This approach represents a kind of key. Read More …

In medicine, there is the Circulus vitiosus, the vicious cycle of the effects of illness, that inevitably bring with them further impairment. For example, if someone injures their musculoskeletal system and suffers from unavoidable pain in a limb, they naturally develop a kind of protective posture and overload other parts of the body more.

Yoga is not designed for competition or external performance, much more it trains the consciousness and with the physical exercises brings about meaningful shaping processes, that seem both heathy as well as aesthetic. Sport is generally not comparable with yoga exercises. Read More …

It is my personal wish when travelling to a country to contribute to positive and peaceful development, which is perhaps something you also share? In this context, through an invitation from Heinz Grill to travel to Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, I was given the opportunity to learn about, study and contribute to new, practical and forward-looking perspectives.

Based on an esoteric evaluation, all illnesses arise from a disorder in the astral body. What is the astral body? In its simplest form it could be described as the cosmic body, which corresponds with the main planets in the solar system. For this reason, anthroposophical medicine uses metal therapy, which can be applied in an appropriate way for certain processes of harmonisation or building up. Lymph stasis is characterised, for example, by disorders in the flow of movement that can be associated with mercury. Read More …

An illness always involves the physical body. Even phenomena such as depression or anxiety disorders arise through being physically existence. Although a panic attack or a depressive-reactive-mood is largely reflected in the psyche, these are motivated from the physical. There are the most subtle metabolic processes, which may originate in the abdominal organs, and move up to the brain through a displacement of transmitter functions and cause very specific psychological phenomena. The body is therefore the primary instance that, through its own very individually existing reality, produces a certain illness scenario. Read More …

If a person wants to observe development in connection with spirituality in coherent forms, this must not stay with one-sided enquiry, that only concerns the material plane and its detailed analyses. Every individual wants to discover and realise suitable steps forward in his or her personal development, also others and the world as a whole wants to come into a productive progressivity.

In all life situations, particularly at times of illness, it would be very beneficial if both patient and therapist could succeed in developing a very clear, body-free and thus a ‘sattva’ consciousness, in the way that has been presented in the last article. Is illness people’s actual enemy, or aren’t  all sorts of complications a result of the adverse, unredeemed and exhausting states of consciousness of those who are ill, or not only of those who are ill, but even their friends, relatives and lastly the therapists treating them? Read More …

Exercises that lead to a growing consciousness, mental stability and ultimately favourable development, always require concrete and logical mental pictures. What does the word ‘concrete’ actually mean? It means something like ‘graphic’ or expressed in a different way, ‘sufficiently comprehensible for perception and judgement’. Both the therapist and the patient must strive for this careful logic and mental picturing. When this engagement happens directly in mutual relationship between a healer and a person in need, the sattva element, with its light, purifying effect, can occur most easily. Read More …

The most recent teacher training courses, lasting three years with 1200 teaching hours, have produced very good yoga teachers. The aim is not only that these trained individuals are able to lead a few exercises, but beyond this that they can respond soundly and accurately to questions concerning the development of the body, soul and spirit. In this sense, the vocation of yoga teaching is not a trivial affair that goes alongside the usual worldly professions. Read More …

The three determinants of being in nature and human existence, which according to the ancient sankhya philosophy are called sattva, rajas and tamas, can be found in the human body. When these three forces, which can be analogously translated as purity, restlessness and lethargy, are in a favourable relationship, there is generally good mental-physical well-being. Lethargy should, in the best sense of the word, provide rest and recuperation. Read More …
