Seeing Christ in Sickness and Healing

Anthroposophical medicine encompasses not only the body also the soul and the individual biography, bringing a broader dimension to modern medicine. Peter Selg shows how anthroposophical therapies draw heavily on the Christian concept of healing as seen in the New Testament. Practically, he suggests that healers and carers can, through meditation, allow the healing power of Christ to work. They must also recognise that sickness can be part of a person's destiny, and that the process of healing can help realise the purpose of the sickness for the person's individual biography.
