The Hildegard Healer
Hildegard Von Bingen was a German Benedictine religious who had very broad-minded ideas for the time.
She was a healer who offered alternative medicines, she was interested in all areas of knowledge but she didn’t define herself as a well trained person rather a “well educated person from the deep of her soul” who was eager to understand all the mysteries hidden behind every creature.
She was always available despite of the many activities she did and she never refused to give comfort with her words of wisdom.
She always followed her heavenly inspiration, her interior visions without compromising with anybody, even with the Church and with Emperors.
She saw the Man in his overall view, as a unicum of body, mind and spirit.
She considered the illness as a breaking of the balance between those elements, while she considered health as the regaining of that lost balance by leading a healthy life, being in touch with the Nature and its rhythm, which put in contact with God.
The secret of keeping a good health was in: practising the virtue of discretio, that is the sense of proportion in every area of knowledge; leading a life free of every excess; keeping a healthy body and feed it with fresh food.
Hildegard thought that people who has got a calm and balanced soul, they don’t feel sadness nor evil, and their hearts are easy to open to the happiness, like flowers open themselves to the sunlight.
We propose the typical stall of medieval healers reared in the Hildegard Von Bingen school, where we explain the equipments and the use of the healing ingredients such as stones, diets and ideal lifestyles, by showing some of her healing techniques related to the three elements (body-mind-soul) that was responsible for the Man balance.
