Healing Thoughts

Colour Pathways for the Soul

Colour Pathways for the Soul may well constitute the best use of pdf media ever presented to the world.  Cläre Kunze's beautiful book would, in the world of paper printing, cost several time's its current price in order to render each painting or drawing in all her exercises and examples at a size and quality that would be both informative and inspiring.  By choosing to print her book in electronic format, she has accomplished sending her extraordinary teaching out into the world with beauty and inspiration and at a price that can reach many more of us than if it were printed on paper.

The content of her book is wonderful to behold.  I have never encountered a better explanation of the conversational, soul building, heart opening qualities that are truly what anthroposophical painting and drawing is all about.  When one listens with love to the colors and forms that emerge on paper, beauty springs forth with a joy that makes the heart sing.  Cläre's teaching takes you into this world and gives you the process and instruction you need to set on on this journey of discovery and growth.

You'll also find her explorations of Goethe's color theory and its role in Steiner's artistic impulse to be very clear and warm, and her understanding of this form of art and its potential for world healing to be both deep and true.

This book is a gift which we hope will move many toward the world of color, form, and heart-opened listening.

About the Author

The Healing Power of Prayer

My experience of reading The Healing Power of Prayer is that it is, in itself, a taste of the grace of wholeness that awaits us if we but ask. Schroeder's little book is so awake with a warm wisdom that it becomes a portal into the world of Love, into the universe of Hope, and shows us how to walk there upon the foundation of Faith.

None of which is as easy to do as it is to percieve as possibility. Schroeder so gently but clearly makes plain the reason so few of us experience the healing that can come through prayer: we don't feel ourselves worthy to ask, we don't feel worthy to stand alongside Love. And yet, because he allows Love to answer, through his book, and with Schroeder as companion and guide, allowing blessing to be given us becomes a gift in the face of which we can bow our heads.

May this little book touch many hearts.

You Can Heal Your Life

This book is the single most effective healing tool we have found to date. Louise Hay has brought to it over thirty years experience in metaphysical healing, and her insight into the causes of illness and the solutions she offers are unparalled. She works through love, self-acceptance, understanding the inner causes of your illness, and developing a program of healing that is tailored to your individual needs. Nancy tested Hay's methods on a chronic problem she had experienced for years. She found that Hay pinpointed the inner causes with extraordinary (if somewhat uncomfortable) accuracy, and that by simple working with the indicated affirmation, this years' old problem first came under control and is now in the process of receding. We know of many others who have experienced the same results. It may be of interest to some of you to know that Rudolf Steiner also gave affirmations for various conditions - he called them prayers, but their structure and form were identical to those developed by Louise Hay.

Heal Your Body

This is a little book, designed to fit easily into a purse, large pocket, binder, or briefcase. In it, Hay has simply listed hundreds of dis-eases, her experience of their causes, and affirmations that are effective in healing them. This is the book to pull out when you feel that headache coming on. It is also an easy reference for long term, serious illnesses, such as multiple sclerosis and cancer. We know many people who have made very effective use these love-filled pathways to healing, ourselves among them. Those interested in the nature of the human being from the viewpoint of Anthroposophy can obtain an extremely sensitive gestalt of the spiritual physiology of the human organism by reading through this remarkable book.

A Thought Is Just a Thought

Powerfully illustrated, A Thought Is Just a Thought is the compelling and sympathetic story of Jenny, who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It describes Jenny’s visits with her mother to a doctor. He notices that Jenny is afraid to stop tapping the wall with her fingers for fear that her sister won’t come home, and that she is afraid to walk on the white squares of the kitchen’s black and white, tiled floor.

The kind Dr. Mike helps Jenny overcome her fears by showing her how to rethink the bad thoughts, and eventually she stops dwelling on the thought and its irrational consequences, realizing that, after all, a thought is just a thought.

A Thought Is Just a Thought is the first book for children and parents that confronts OCD, a surprisingly common childhood illness. It is an excellent resource for parents and for doctors who wish better understand how to help children deal with this debilitating psychological illness.
