Medicine and Astrology

With Cornelis van Dalen (Naturopath and Homeopath) and Agostino Dominici (Astrologer)

Astrology is the science of the stars (Astro ­ stars; Logia ­ knowledge) out of which grew material science of astronomy. Our concern in this seminar is not horoscopes for hope and love, but the influence of the stars (planets and stars) in life and disease. NO KNOWLEDGE OF HOROSCOPES IS REQUIRED FOR THIS SEMINAR.
We must become aware of what streams to us from the universe. Historically, the practice of medicine and astrology were never divorced as they are now; we seek to establish an understanding for a new future in medicine.
1. Man as a cosmic being; the origin of Adam Kadmon; man as an expression of the rhythm of the universe. Does the sun revolve around the earth and other anomalies?
2. The four elements and the constellations; the temperaments and the organs and diatheses; the role of the fixed and moving stars in life: sun, moon, planets, and constellations; how the stars live in the blood. Influence of weather, seasons, in the patient¹s complaint or epidemic for it is astrology in action.
3. Practical applications for the holistic medical practitioner: organs, planets and plants; reference to Paracelsus, Culpepper, Papus et al; salts and zodiac; solar, lunar, planetary & zodiacal influences in disease.
4. The decumbiture is an astrology chart cast at the time of the person taking ill or for diagnosis. If there are sufficient numbers of astrologers or those interested in the decumbiture chart at the seminar, Agostino Dominici, an adept astrologer, will conclude the session with virtues of constructing and interpreting the decumbiture chart.

Reiki Celebration Day workshop:
At the ‘Reiki Celebration Day and Festival’, attendees experienced a taste of mediation, spiritual uplift and relaxation led by Australian Alphamusic composer, John Levine in his workshop. John Levine began talking softly while he played ‘Silence of Peace’, and invited people to fall asleep if they needed to. During the workshop session John invited everyone to hum or tone with the music and many joined in, resulting in a delightful interlude of each person coming together with Angelic sounds. Louise Cardon, reiki practitioner, recalled that in the workshop, Tracey, who normally suffers from intense fear and panic, became the most peaceful and serene that anyone who knew her could ever have imagined! Kay Paterson, another reiki practitioner, says that the workshop and getting to know John was one of the most wonderful things that has happened to her. “I very much enjoyed John’s talk”, says Kay. “Truly a wonderful meditation exercise and music!”

It helped many people to relax and forget about every day problems and about the unfortunate disease that they have to live with. Many of them have already participated in his performances and couldn’t pass up the chance to be there again. John’s input helped to make this workshop such a great success.
