HANDBOOK FOR RHYTHMICAL EINREIBUNGEN
According to Wegman / Hauschka

• Monica Layer, et al.

Rhythmical Einreibungen are gentle, rhythmical forms of therapeutic massage used by nurses, carers and therapists working out of anthroposophy. (The word 'Einreibung' refers to the application of an oil or ointment to the body.) The methods - developed by Dr Ita Wegman and Dr Margarethe Hauschka at the beginning of the twentieth century - were first used exclusively in medicine and nursing, but have since been applied more widely in care and nursing homes, hospitals and clinics, as well as in curative education and social therapy.

HEALING POWER OF THE CHRISTMAS ROSE, THE
The Medicinal Value of Black Hellebore

• Johannes Wilkens

A medicine with huge potential for treating Alzheimers, stroke, cancer and even Aids, the Christmas Rose (Black Hellebore) is in the process of being rediscovered by doctors and medical practitioners. Once admired by Hippocrates, Paracelsus and Hahnemann but long forgotten, the Christmas Rose is proving effective once again – both in trials and in clinical practice – for healing the serious illnesses of the new millennium. It is also being used to address many other conditions such as Attention Deficit Disorder in children, delayed brain maturation, in gynaecology and for joint disorders. Written by a practising medical doctor, this book offers comprehensive treatment regimes and numerous case studies demonstrating the successful use of this important plant-based medicine.

HEALING THE SKIN
Holistic approaches to treating skin conditions
A practical guide based on anthroposophic medicine

• Lueder Jachens

Our skin is the visible barrier between what is inside and outside of our bodies. It can respond with sensitivity to tender contact, allowing us to experience pleasure, or, should harmful influences come to bear, it can contract or erupt, causing pain. The increasing prevalence in recent years of various types of skin conditions is an indication of the fact that toxic influences are on the increase.

HEART OF THE MATTER, THE
Discovering the Laws of Living Organisms

• Olive Whicher

In this concise and richly-illustrated work, Olive Whicher introduces a radical new science of living organisms, forms and processes, based on the pioneering work of Rudolf Steiner and his pupil George Adams.

HEAVENLY SOPHIA AND THE BEING ANTHROPOSOPHIA

• Sergei 0. Prokofieff

Based on the author's own experience of the supersensible being who stands behind the science of the spirit known as Anthroposophy, The Heavenly Sophia is the culmination of 25 years of work by Sergei Prokofieff on Rudolf Steiner's spiritual impulse. The being Anthroposophia, he shows, is not a poetic image or an abstract concept, but is an actual spiritual entity who works in the higher worlds for the good of earthly evolution, bringing to humanity "...the new revelation of the heavenly Sophia, the divine wisdom".

HERMANN BECKH
Life And Work

• Gundhild Kačer-Bock

Hermann Beckh (1875-1937) was one of the co-founders of The Christian Community. A remarkable linguist and universal scholar, he mastered six European and six Oriental languages and published more than twenty works on the humanities, dealing with Christology, Cosmology and Musicology. Having first studied Law, he later channeled his extensive research of Hinduism and Buddhism into a renewal of sacramental Christianity. ‘Without the Professor’, wrote his colleague Rudolf Meyer, the beginnings of the new religious movement were ‘unthinkable’.

HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL OF SPIRITUAL SCIENCE
The First Class

• Johannes Kiersch

The School of Spiritual Science, together with its individual sections, was founded by Rudolf Steiner at the Christmas Conference of 1923-4 with the intention, in his own words, of presenting 'the esoteric aspect'. It was intended to have three classes, but only the First Class was instituted before Rudolf Steiner's death in 1925.

HOW THE NEW ART OF EURYTHMY BEGAN
Lory Maier-Smits, The First Eurythmist

• Magdalene Siegloch

The actual historical moments of birth of the various arts are not known. At most, significant changes of direction are distinguishable – and these are usually detected retrospectively. However, the founding of eurythmy, a new art of movement, has been extensively documented. The story of the first eurythmist, Lory Maier-Smits, told in the pages of this profusely-illustrated book, is a valuable contribution to that legacy. It brings to life the pioneering period when the new artform was being developed under Rudolf Steiner’s personal instruction.

HUMANITY’S LAST STAND
The Challenge of Artificial Intelligence
A Spiritual-Scientific Response

• Nicanor Perlas

Although still in its earliest stages, artificial intelligence (AI) is radically transforming all aspects of society. With the immanent emergence of Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) and the illusory temptations of ‘transhumanism’, mankind stands at a crossroads. In Humanity’s Last Stand, Nicanor Perlas makes an urgent plea. It is imperative, he says, that we take immediate steps to ensure that digitized technology is aligned to human values and priorities. Otherwise, ASI will kill the essence of our humanity. Further, if we do not master it now, ASI will transform mankind into its own image. Ultimately, it will destroy the human race.

HYMNS TO THE NIGHT SPIRITUAL SONGS

• Novalis • Foreword by Sergei O. Prokofieff

Novalis, born Friedrich von Hardenberg, was the most significant representative of German romanticism at the end of the eighteenth century. A true contemporary of the approaching scientific age, he excelled not only as a poet, writer, religious thinker and philosopher, but also as an enthusiastic student of science, mathematics, chemistry, physics, medicine, mineralogy and mining - even working as an inspector of coal pits.

IF THE ORGANS COULD SPEAK
The Foundations of Physical and Mental Health
Understanding the Character of our Inner Anatomy

• Olaf Koob

‘This book can help us trace the secrets of our own body, to see it as a wonder of creation, and to marvel at it time and again with reverence and gratitude…’ – Prof. Dr Volker Fintelmann

ILLNESS AND HEALING
and the Mystery Language of the Gospels

• Judith von Halle

"The contents of this volume have arisen from my own spiritual experience, and do not represent any kind of hypothesis or speculation, except where I expressly say that I am unable to make any definitive statement about a particular event or set of circumstances..." - Judith von Halle

ILLUSTRATED CALENDAR OF THE SOUL
Meditations for the Yearly Cycle

• Rudolf Steiner • With 52 Pictures by Anne Stockton

Rudolf Steiner's beautiful meditative verses for the yearly cycle have been used by countless people over the years. Their purpose is to awaken a feeling of unity with nature, and at the same time to stimulate a discovery of self. In listening to the changing language of the year and awakening a profound sympathy for it, we can in turn discover our own individual nature. Steiner's original and unique meditations facilitate this process, leading to a healthy feeling of being at one with the natural world.

IN THE SHADOW OF THE MACHINE
The Prehistory of the Computer and the Evolution of Consciousness

• Jeremy Naydler

Contemporary life is so deeply reliant upon digital technology that the computer has come to dominate almost every aspect of our culture. What is the philosophical and spiritual significance of this dependence on electronic technology, both for our relationship to nature and for the future of humanity? And, what processes in human perception and awareness have produced the situation we find ourselves in?

IN THE SIGN OF FIVE: 1879-1899-1933-1998-TODAY
The Five Spiritual Events, Tasks and Beings of the First Half of the Age of Michael
An Apocalyptic View of Contemporary History

• T.H. Meyer

‘Spiritual knowledge is not given to us as in ancient times. By spiritual means it must be struggled and striven for against a host of demons... We must therefore get to know the powers that would cover up and obscure all spiritual knowledge.’ – from the Preface

INNER RAINBOW, THE
An illustrated history of human consciousness from Ancient India to the present day

• Henk van Oort

Featuring more than 50 colour images, The Inner Rainbow takes the reader on an journey through time, from Ancient India to the present day. This is the journey of human consciousness - the story of an eternal, metamorphic process. As the author suggests, consciousness is not a self-contained, unchangeable faculty. The way we perceive the surrounding world today - with the potential for sophisticated and exact observation of natural phenomena - has evolved over thousands of years. What was once a blurred and fragmentary perception in the time of Ancient India has evolved to a clear awareness of everyday reality.

INSIDE AN AUTISTIC WORLD
Spiritual experiences of people with autism

• Interviews with Hilke, Andreas, Erik and Martin Osika and Jos Meereboer, edited by Wolfgang Weirauch

Many individuals with autism are highly intelligent and gifted, but some are effectively imprisoned in their bodies and unable to communicate verbally. However, developments in technology have enabled autistic people to transmit their thoughts directly. In this true account, three autistic people, two of them brothers, speak via the method of "facilitated communication", with the aid of a computer keypad. What is conveyed are not just everyday thoughts and experiences, but surprising and sometimes shattering spiritual and metaphysical perceptions. The conversations reveal remarkable clairvoyant gifts, such as the ability to read other people's thoughts, to see past lives, and to communicate with supernatural entities.

INTERVALS, SCALES, TONES
Intervals, Scales, Tones and the Concert Pitch c = 128 Hz

• Maria Renold

Why is it that certain intervals, scales and tones sound genuine and others false? Is the modern person able to experience a qualitative difference in a tone's pitch? If so, what are the implications for modern concert pitch and how instruments of fixed tuning are tuned?

JERUSALEM
The Role of the Hebrew People in the Spiritual Biography of Humanity

• Yeshayahu (Jesaiah) Ben-Aharon

‘The better I understand the roots of the Hebrew people and its universal-human mission, the better I shall understand the nature of humanity and its mission; and the more human I become, in the most universal sense, anchored in a new spiritual knowledge and practice, the more fulfilled, active and creative I can be at the roots of my existence as a Jew and an Israeli.’ – Yeshayahu Ben-Aharon

JOHN’S GOSPEL
The Cosmic Rhythm, Stars and Stones

• Hermann Beckh

That there is a living stream of Johannine Christianity can no longer be doubted. There is now an abundant literature from Rosicrucian and esoteric traditions – from the deepest prayer and meditation – that addresses the exalted nature of John the Evangelist as expressed through his Gospel, Letters and the Book of Revelation. Yet it fell to Hermann Beckh to elucidate clearly how the individual known as ‘John’ became the source of such undying love and wisdom in Christ. According to Rudolf Steiner, John was the ailing Lazarus, called from death to a new life as ‘the disciple Jesus loved’. Beckh demonstrates how John’s invaluable writings were based on personal spiritual knowledge and experience, expressing the divine work of the Cosmic Christ on human nature and on the Earth, leading far into the future.

KASPAR HAUSER
The Struggle for the Spirit

• Peter Tradowsky

"Here lies Kaspar Hauser, riddle of his time. His birth was unknown, his death mysterious." (Inscription on Kaspar Hauser's tombstone.)

KASPAR HAUSER, CHILD OF EUROPE
An Artistic and Contemplative Approach to an Enduring Enigma

• Eckart Böhmer

‘From time to time in the history of humanity, extraordinary individualities appear, carrying with them great tasks which are difficult to assess. Through this lens, the events around Kaspar Hauser (1812-1833) can be seen as signposts to one of the most important mysteries of modern times, which will radiate far into the future. Kaspar’s appearance and the essence of his being are deeply connected with the question of the identity of the human being itself.’ – From the Foreword

KINDLING THE WORD
The Karmic Background of Marie Steiner-von Sivers

• Rahel Kern • Brien Masters

From the moment that Marie von Sivers met Rudolf Steiner in 1902, their relationship became key to the development of anthroposophy. Marie Steiner's immense contribution is well known in the fields of eurythmy, speech, the arts, and in her management and publication of Steiner's literary estate - but she also assisted in almost every aspect of Rudolf Steiner's work. So why has she been so neglected by the anthroposophical movement?

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR, THE
Influences from the past and impulses for the future

• Compiled and edited by Gil McHattie

'It is becoming more and more important to add truth to the plethora of distortion that surrounds the Knights Templar. The Order's spiritual legacy therefore needs voices that make conscious the impulse they carried, and to show how these impulses have reappeared and metamorphosed in later times, and how they continue to be of pressing relevance today in all spheres of life - from spirituality and the arts to politics and the worlds of banking, commerce and business.' - from the Introduction

LANGUAGE OF THE STARS, THE
Zodiac and Planets in Relation to the Human Being
The Cosmic Rhythm in the Creed

• Hermann Beckh • Rudolf Frieling

‘Astrology is a concern of the Christ and the work of Michael.’ – Hermann Beckh

LEARNING TO EXPERIENCE THE ETHERIC WORLD
Empathy, the After-Image and a New Social Ethic

• Baruch Luke Urieli • Hans Müller-Wiedemann

Our world today is increasingly characterized by speed, movement and flux. There is often a lack of sufficient time to do 'what needs to be done', and life seems to be marked by change, upheaval and revolution. But in the midst of this turmoil, say the authors, people are having conscious and semiconscious experiences of the etheric world - the world that comprises the forces of life. However, this growing sensitivity to the etheric realm only intensifies experiences of movement and upheaval. To counter such feelings, we should take hold of our inner life and strengthen the 'I' - our true self.

LEONARDO DA VINCI THE LAST SUPPER
A Cosmic Drama and an Act of Redemption

• Michael Ladwein

Numerous great works have been created within the realm of Christian art, but none has received as much acclaim as Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper. Art lovers venerate it for its composition and noble aesthetics, while for Christians it epitomises the intimate relationship between Christ and his disciples. In recent years it has also become the focus of intrigue, controversy and speculation, following the publication of some bestselling fictional narratives and questionable historical studies.

LETTERS ON JOHN'S GOSPEL

• Friedrich Rittelmeyer

‘These Letters … aim to make John’s Gospel accessible to people today as their own gospel, both as a whole and in the details; to illuminate it with the spiritual knowledge of the age and to make it fruitful for life, not only for meditation but also for practical ordering of destiny.’ – Friedrich Rittelmeyer.

LIBERATION OF THE ACTOR

• Peter Bridgmont

The artist was once a messenger of the gods. Breathing in, the Greek actor was lifted into a realm of thought and inspiration. And breathing out, the will was strengthened. Can modern actors again become messengers through their own power of description and dramatization?

LIGHT ROOT, THE
Nutrition of the Future
A Spiritual-Scientific Study

• Ralf Roessner • with Clemens Hildebrandt

"This plant is the only one which is in a position to store light ether; this will be indispensable for people in future." - Rudolf Steiner

LORD'S PRAYER
The Living Word of God

• Judith von Halle

'The contents of this volume have arisen from my own spiritual experience, and do not represent any kind of hypothesis or speculation, except where I expressly say that I am unable to make any definitive statement about a particular event or set of circumstances...'

LUDWIG POLZER-HODITZ
A European

• A Biography by T.H. Meyer

Finally available in English, Thomas Meyer’s major biography of Ludwig Polzer-Hoditz (1869-1945) offers a panoramic view of an exceptional life. One of Rudolf Steiner’s most valued and independent-minded colleagues, Polzer-Hoditz was born in Prague – in the midst of the Austro-Hungarian Empire – to an aristocratic family with royal connections. Leaving behind the traditions of his background, he was to become a key actor in Steiner’s regenerative ‘threefold’ social impulses, working tirelessly for a genuinely unified and free Europe. Polzer-Hoditz also fought to protect Rudolf Steiner’s esoteric legacy and the integrity of the Anthroposophical Society that had been founded to further his work.
