HOLISTIC APPROACH TO HEALING
“Every possibility of becoming strong in the face of outer influences rests on the possibility of taking on illness – of becoming ill. It is not possible to avoid sickness if one wants to have health. For in the first place man is born out of the cosmos as spirit, he then develops within the rhythmical processes the ‘healer’ who is then able to take in the metabolism the cosmic ‘patient’. All these work together to produce the human being who lives on Earth and is capable of free movement.”
Rudolf Steiner
