Spiritual Science As Applied To Medicine

Spiritual Science as applied to medicine is widely known as Anthroposophical medicine, and is being used by many physicians all over the world – more frequently in certain parts of Europe and North America. This methodology in medicine draws its practices and knowledge from the teachings of Rudolph Steiner, a founder and philosopher, who has founded the school of Anthroposophy.

Anthroposophy is a school of thought that relies on scientific approach in spiritual discernment. Anthroposophical medicine, despite its leanings to spiritual aspects, still relies on established facts and the systematic approaches to modern medicine. It uses fundamental principles in ancient medicine, such as Chinese medicine, Tibetan medicine and Ayurvedic medicine. In a nutshell, it is a more holistic approach, which puts emphasis on the spiritual well being, as much as it does on the physiological one.

The systematic model of AM (Anthroposophical Medicine) relies on the “four-foldness” of being. This means that there are four parts of what decides the general condition of an individual. The first one is the physical body, which is the vessel. The life/etheric body, which is the same as the Chinese idea of chi, embodies the second, while the third level is the soul/astral body. Finally, the fourth one resides in the spirit. In this model, the physician ensures that all these four levels are put under careful scrutiny, and he applies his knowledge of modern medicine and spiritual science in their treatment both in separate levels and as a whole. AM physicians use diagnostic tools, but also rely on intuition and understanding of the patient’s psyche and overall personality. The medicine often used in AM is homeopathic and medicinal, which makes it non-toxic and less risky.

The only drawback is that there are side effects. These side effects are often referred to as the “healing crises”, which results to the temporary worsening of symptoms – such as fever, headaches, nausea, muscle soreness, and many others. This is in harmony with their belief that modern medicine suppresses illness, and not beneficial to a patient’s health in the long run. So the rule of thumb is to draw out the illness in order for the patient to get rid of it completely and thus, pave the way to complete recovery.

Anthroposophical medicine also relies on allied therapies, which include massage therapy, eurythmics (otherwise known as movement therapy). Eurythmics is the science and art of harmonizing our inner spiritual movements. Psychotherapy is another branch of allied therapies, which helps in dealing with sickness and disease on a psychological level. During the first visit, an AM physician makes it a point to educate the patient in the overview of Anthroposophy, since it’s impossible to make any progress with a treatment that involves the mind and spirit without the patient’s conscious awareness. This is in the form of questionnaires and instructional materials, which are given to the patient before the first stage of treatment.

While some fundamentalists in modern medicine have abhorred the practice and made conjectures that it is synonymous to “voodoo”, studies have shown promising results. Whatever the case, Anthroposophic medicine continues to improve our spiritual and physical well being, and is definitely here to stay.

Spiritual Meaning Of Numbers

Numerology has been widely utilized and discussed dating back from the time of Pythagoras, who as we all know was an influential mathematician, mystic and scientist throughout history. While numerology is now regarded as pseudo-mathematics, it cannot be denied that its conclusions are a direct result of scientific study. Spiritual attributes have been connected with numbers for a long time and has been interpreted differently by various cultures, that it has become unwieldy to utilize the spiritual meaning of numbers into practical use. But if you are bent on using spiritual numerology to enhance your success and pave the way to a meaningful life, it goes without saying that familiarity to what the numbers represent is very important.

However, we are not going to deconstruct the significance of each number since overlapping of meanings between values can only cause confusion. A short and concise enumeration of spiritual values that are easily distinguishable from each other is a much better method to establish a concrete conceptualization of what the numbers represent. Below is a short guide to each of the numbers and the values attributed to them:

One: Strong Will, Aggression, Positivity
Two: Duality, Harmony, Balance
Three: Magic, Talent, Intuition
Four: Stability, Groundedness, Solidity
Five: Travel. Expansion, Journey
Six: Sincerity, Love, Truth
Seven: Mystery, Magic, Knowledge
Eight: Success, Strength, Opportunity
Nine: Universal Influence, Accomplishment

Now that you are aware of what each of the numbers represent, it is important to realize that each attribute can have a different meaning to each person. The result, positive or negative, is dependent on the perspective of each individual and the environment that he responds to. Factors such as cultural upbringing and unique personality traits affect our perceptions and actions in response to these spiritual values.

Although numerology is an imperfect science, as we just pointed out, it doesn’t mean that you cannot benefit from its usage. In a world where everything is in perpetual motion, what is constant are numbers. They can be quantified, and are the cornerstones of everything that is quantifiable, while everything else are just vibrations. Using numerology to your advantage is getting in sync with these vibrations, and utilizing them to the betterment of our lives.

It gives us more perspective in how we view ourselves in relation to everything around us since numerology makes us aware that there are hidden forces that govern the universe’s stability. And we notice perfect order in protons, electrons, neutrons, and the DNA since there is always a code – a constant value that allows them stability starting from the sub-atomic level. Nature in itself is dependent on numbers. Speed, time, height, weight, gravity and other dimensions are what made life possible. They are all quantifiable by numbers.

In our eyes, the world is in constant chaos, or so it seemed. It’s true that all is in continuous flux. But if you ever feel confused and disillusioned about your spiritual and need a compass to decide your actions, what are the things that you can trust? You guessed it right. It’s numbers!
