Madonna Cards - The Healing Forces of the Madonna Images
Madonna Cards - The Healing Forces of the Madonna Images
This series of images was suggested to Dr. Felix Peipers by Rudolf Steiner in Munich for use with the patients in his clinic, especially those suffering from emotional disturbances. In different contexts Rudolf Steiner repeatedly mentioned the inherent healing forces in the Madonna images, especially those from Raphael, and their healing use in the treatment of both disturbed adults and children. The essence of the beneficial effect of this series lies in the indicated sequence and their composition.
