Individual treatments

Sometimes your life gets out of control, be it through illness or drastic life events. Then the soul needs something where it can breathe out, relax and at the same time feel and strengthen itself.

By immersing yourself in the variety of colors and shapes, you will discover the creative source of your own creative ability. In dealing with the artistic means, you will come into contact with yourself, with your ego, which has to prove itself in the ups and downs of life.

In this way, the qualities of colors and forms are both nourishment for vitality and for mental well-being. Through artistic activity, life patterns can become visible and find their healing transformation. The art therapist accompanies you in clarifying your personal issues.

For people who have experienced trauma, it is particularly important to experience security and stability. Trauma-sensitive therapy helps to correct old experiences of powerlessness and loss of control and to regain a sense of self (self-empowerment).

When we paint or create, we embark on a journey into the unconscious. Every brushstroke, every shape, every color is an expression of our innermost feelings, dreams and longings and is an opportunity to track down our inner conflicts, old hurts and buried memories. In this way, we can recognize what torments our soul and what makes us ill.

Painting, sculpting and sculpting can help us to resolve old or current conflicts, develop new behavioral strategies or find solutions in crisis situations. Last but not least, creating art is simply fun and a path to self-realization!

Humanism means humanity. A humanist attitude respects the dignity of every individual and strives for a life without violence, in which everyone is free to express their opinion.

Biography work understands the human life course as a unique, individual path of development, both on a mental-spiritual level and on a physical-vital level. Biography work means self-awareness and actively shaping one’s life.

In self-reflection, we take a loving, unprejudiced look at the course of our lives in order to enter into a lively dialog with the often puzzling and unexpected events in our own biography. By incorporating rhythms and earlier phases of life, we gain a deeper understanding of the current life situation, the current issue.

What room for maneuver do I have?
Am I in contact with my inner source from which I can be creative?

Life motives and creative freedom can become clearer. Perspectives for further development become visible and new courage for future steps is formed.

We humans are individuals and have our very own history. A story that shapes us, that guides our behavior and our reactions in certain situations, that regulates our relationships with others. A story that determines our personal satisfaction – indeed, our happiness…

In biography work, we try to find the root of our current condition. In doing so, we look at old feelings, thought and behavior patterns that may have become entrenched, as well as old injuries and unhealed wounds.

Where do I want to go? And what is preventing me from embarking on this path to a self-determined future?
What long-cherished dreams are waiting to finally be realized?
Are there conflicts that need to be resolved?
Are there wounds that need to be healed?
Are there any forks in the road in my biography where a different decision and therefore a different path would have been possible?

Biography work is as lively as life itself – a process of permanent change and perpetual self-reflection.

“In fact, we have organs on the inside and these organs have certain forms. Each organ form has a certain connection with a possible form of movement of the external human being, so that you can say: Suppose any organ tends to deform, to take on an abnormal form, then there is a form of movement which counteracts this for each organ.” (Rudolf Steiner)

When we look at diseases, we find that they are always associated with organ weakness. This means that the organ-building forces have limited access to the organs that have become weak. With eurythmy therapy we can remove this restriction.

In eurythmy therapy, we work with the laws of language and music, which are expressed in movement gestures. These gestures activate the forces that build up everything physical and spiritual. These forces can therefore be used therapeutically in a targeted manner and have a healing effect on people.

Every illness can be counteracted by eurythmic movements. They set the healing process in motion.

The five grip qualities of classic massage – kneading, rolling, stroking, tapping, circling – have been modified and differentiated in accordance with the anthroposophical view of the human being (body, life force, soul and ego).

The characteristic strokes, the suction quality, the binding and loosening of the tissue and the rhythmic design of the procedure have a deepening or stimulating, shaping or loosening, decongesting or warming effect on breathing, pulse, heat distribution and metabolism.

Rhythmic massage therapy primarily has a regulating effect on the fluid flows and respiration of the entire organism. It stimulates the flow of fluids in the body via the subcutaneous cell tissue. Cellular respiration is activated. Solidified and compacted structures, congestion and tension are released. A positive bodily life can set in.

By stimulating the body’s own warmth, you experience a new self-awareness. New initiative can emerge and have a positive effect on your healing process. The massage stimulates the rhythmic processes that are the origin of every healing process.

Rhythmic massage can be used in many different ways: In pediatrics, for example, it can positively influence restless and aggressive behavior, nutritional disorders and sleep disorders, in geriatrics it can revitalize sclerotic processes, in neurology it can improve body awareness or in cancer therapy it can support the special heat therapy of anthroposophic medicine. In the case of diseases of the internal organs, it can have a relieving effect on the cardiovascular system, in orthopaedics – especially before and after joint operations – it can support a good healing process and in psychosomatic medicine it can have a positive influence on many mental disorders. Rhythmic massage has also proved particularly effective in pain therapy and in the treatment of chronic illnesses.

The earth we use for this treatment has been mineralized by volcanic rock over millions of years. It is heated and remains on the affected area of the body for approx. 40 minutes. This leads to deep relaxation, pain relief, improves heat regulation and provides envelopment and grounding. The restorative life processes are stimulated.

The volcanic earth wrap can be applied to the back (you lie on the wrap), joints, hands and feet (the corresponding area is wrapped). During the pack, you rest lovingly wrapped up on the lounger.

The volcanic earth pack also works well in combination with a classic massage, before or after.

We have developed this special treatment here at the Therapeutikum from the healing treasures of the island and the sea: from soil that has been mineralized by the volcanic rock over millions of years and from hand-scooped Atlantic salt from the Janubio salt pans.

This multi-stage treatment has a relaxing, detoxifying, warming and enveloping effect. It stimulates the circulation and metabolism, cleanses the skin and makes it velvety soft. You will feel an invigorating effect afterwards.

On the heated massage table, you will first receive a full body scrub with sea salt mixed with a little sesame oil. The salt remains on the skin while the warmed, slightly liquid earth is then applied from head to toe. Now you are wrapped up warm and rest in this cocoon for 20 minutes to allow the substances to take effect. A shower is followed by a gentle rubbing with an enveloping oil. Once again, you rest well wrapped up and on a warm surface for approx. 20 minutes. Warmed through and refreshed at the same time, you slowly get up.

A lomi lomi massage is a special experience because it is actually a rite of passage from the spiritual tradition of Hawaii that prepares people for a new beginning. If you allow yourself to enjoy this full-body massage with lots of oil, you can experience a small rebirth.

Lomi-Lomi is suitable for letting go of the old and opening up to the new, for life transitions, clarification, cleansing and healing.

The boundaries become blurred as hands and arms dance over the body and convey a feeling of security and inner peace. You will experience deep relaxation and travel to other spheres through the flat, flowing, wave-like touches.

The masseuse works with her hands, forearms and elbows. Grips combine the elements of fire, earth, air and water. Certain parts of the body are stretched, you are held and rocked and feel stroking and connecting touches.

A sound massage has a highly relaxing effect, releases blockages and brings the body back into balance. The energy of the sounds has an effect on body, mind and soul.

Singing bowls are placed on the body and made to vibrate. The massage takes place on a sound bed so that the resonances are further supported and round off the sound image.

A soothing relaxation sets in. At the same time, the energy flow in the body is stimulated, activating the body’s self-healing powers. Deep-seated tension can also be released and joint pain alleviated. The sound massage also supports regeneration after operations.

The resulting soundscape invites you to dream and let go …

Today, sound massage is used as an alternative healing method in medicine in many Western and Eastern cultures.

Wraps are a gentle and very effective method of relieving pain and strengthening the body’s self-healing powers at the same time. They stimulate the body’s own heat production and help to achieve inner peace and relaxation.

Wraps and compresses work with herbal active ingredients and other substances such as curd, onion, potato, honey and more.

The liver wrap with yarrow has a particularly stimulating effect on the metabolism. Applied at lunchtime, it helps with convalescence, digestive weakness, detoxification and difficulty sleeping through the night.

The kidney compress is applied with ginger and helps to produce a strong internal warmth and detoxification.

With the arnica cap, the substance acts from the head to the whole body. Immediate, but also later application is effective for acute blunt or bloody trauma, headaches and restlessness. The body is kept in intense rest and thus relaxes the whole body.

Further wraps on request.
