| Summary |
"Dr. Wighard Strehlow explains the natural methods used by Hildegard of Bingen to treat weaknesses of the soul--problems that are today treated by drugs such as Prozac. A 12th-century mystic, visionary, and healer, Hildegard of Bingen recognized what the holistic health movement has only recently restored to our consciousness: that full health can only be experienced in a state of spiritual balance. Psychological trauma, emotional distress, and other maladies of the soul often lead to illness and chronic diseases. Healing the body begins with the self-healing of the spirit. Based on his more than twenty years of clinical work with this effective energetic medicine, Dr. Strehlow gives readers a complete program for a lifestyle of "spiritual fitness." His practical suggestions are based on the integration of thirty-five spiritual forces of the human soul in order to "cure the soul within," which he synthesized from five of Hildegard's books on spiritual and psychological healing principles. He shows how to incorporate healing words into thought in order to prevent negative energy and provides herbal recipes to help ease spiritual turmoil. Dr. Strehlow suggests that the recovery of Hildegard's insights into cultivating the health of body and spirit may provide solutions to the challenges currently frustrating Western medical science."-- Back cover. |
