"When the level of consciousness cannot speak, the body takes over and the disease appears as a symbol."
Ruediger Dahlke, the father of holistic healing, has already contributed to a better understanding of diseases and symptoms with several successful books - Path to wholeness, The language of the soul: the disease. He emphasizes that the symptoms are closely related not only to the development of the body, but also to the development of the personality. By analyzing the symptoms, it shows that each disease carries a message for both children and parents.
As a recognized representative of spiritual psychosomatics, he perceives illnesses as meaningful events, which, in his opinion, are unresolved conflicts raised by the soul to the level of consciousness. Since, according to spiritual philosophy, important things are decided at the beginning of life, it is essential to deal with the healing of children at the level of the soul. In this work with her experienced homeopath co-author Vera Kaesemann, Dahlke digs down to the roots in a radical way for the child's complete recovery. They introduce us to pediatrics, present the opportunities offered by homeopathy, and give many useful practical advices. The authors go through most of the classic diseases and symptoms known in pediatrics - mumps, measles, rubella, chicken pox and whooping cough, as well as abdominal pain, three-month colic, diarrhoea, fever and otitis media, from both an interpretation and treatment point of view. Their manual, which is indispensable on family bookshelves, also discusses symptoms such as nail biting, bedwetting or stuttering, and also deals in detail with the issue of vaccinations.
We can recognize the stages of development in almost all childhood illnesses. Through the process, the child gets closer to his own real nature.
