Eurythmy Therapy | Free Book
Rudolf Steiner, A. Stott (trans.)
Created in 1911, eurythmy was developed for years as an artistic and
educational discipline. Although Rudolf Steiner pointed out its
healing aspects from the very beginning, it was only in 1921 that he
gave a course of lectures that gave the art of eurythmy a vital new
application. To the assembled eurythmists and doctors, he presented
what one participant described as '...a complete and detailed method
of eurythmy therapy, in which we could directly experience that even
today the creative and therapeutic power of the word ... is still at
work'.Steiner's comprehensive lectures, republished here in a
thoroughly revised translation, describe the principles of therapeutic
eurythmy, giving many specific exercises. Primarily intended for
practising eurythmists, these lectures also contain much material of
particular interest. Steiner reveals the intricacies of rhythmic
interplay between human physiology and the life-forces in the world
around us. He describes the qualities of language and the dynamism
contained in the individual vowels and consonants, elucidating their
relationship with eurythmical movements and human experience. Through
such movements, individuals are able to access the healing etheric
forces.The exercises, referred to by Steiner as 'inner gymnastics',
contain enormous potential for psychological and physiological
well-being. Gaining ever-wider recognition today, they complement
conventional medicine, offering a therapeutic process concerned with
mind, soul and body.This new edition of these important lectures -
previously published under the title Curative Eurythmy - includes an
appendix with reminiscences by early eurythmists, as well as
additional commentary from Dr Walter Kugler.
