Breathing the Spirit – meditations for times of day and
seasons of the year
Collected
verses and meditations by Rudolf Steiner
In this collection of verses and
meditations, Rudolf Steiner delves into the rhythms of nature and
their relationships to the cycles within the life of human beings.
The verses in the first part relate to the cycle of waking and
sleeping, echoing the greater rhythms of birth and death. They
provide an accompaniment for each day, gently reminding us where we
have come from and where we are going. The second section focuses
on the human being’s passage through nature’s changing seasons – a
greater cycle of sleeping and waking. Together they offer us a
spiritual light for our journey through life.

Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) called his spiritual philosophy
'anthroposophy', which he defined as 'the consciousness of one's
humanity', and the disciplined methods of studying this he termed
‘spiritual science’. As a highly developed clairvoyant and spiritual initiate, he spoke from
his direct cognition of the spiritual world. However, he did not see
his work as religious or sectarian, but rather sought to found a
universal 'science of the spirit'.
His
many published works (written books and lectures) - which include
his research into the spiritual nature of the human being, the
evolution of the world and humanity, and methods of personal
development - invite readers to develop their own spiritual
faculties. He also provided indications for the renewal of many
human activities, including education - both general and special -
agriculture, medicine, economics, architecture, science, philosophy,
religion and the arts. He wrote some 30 books and delivered over
6000 lectures across Europe, and in 1924 founded the General
Anthroposophical Society which today has branches throughout the
world.
