Six Steps in Self-development | Free Book
The 'supplementary Exercises'
The so-called 'supplementary exercises' - to be carried out alongside
the 'review exercises' and meditation - are integral to the path of
personal development presented by Rudolf Steiner. Together they form a
means of experiencing the spiritual realm in full consciousness.
Meditation enlivens thinking, the review exercises cultivate the will,
whilst the supplementary exercises educate and balance feeling.
Conscientiously practised, this path of self-knowledge and development
has the effect of opening a source of inner strength and psychological
health that soon make themselves felt in daily life. In six stages
these exercises enable the practise of qualities that can be
summarized as: control of thoughts, initiative of will, equanimity,
positivity, open-mindedness and equilibrium of soul. When carried out
regularly, they balance possible harmful effects of meditative
practice and bring inner certainty and security to the soul. They are
also of inestimable value in their own right due to their beneficial
and wholesome effect on daily life. In this invaluable small book, the
editor has drawn together virtually all Rudolf Steiner's statements on
the supplementary exercises, supporting them with commentary and
notes. With a chapter devoted to each exercise, they are described in
detail and from different perspectives.
