Speech and Memory MP6057a

Speech and Memory
The Art of the Spoken Word – Therapeutic Aspects
by Christa Slezak-Schindler.

Translated by Helen Lubin.

Modern life has changed the way we increasingly think and rely on electronic "outside memory" devices (Google, for example) to store and recall information. This book proposes the use of therapeutic speech to heal recall and to strengthen our will to consciously remove dogmatic speech patterns, which diminish true memory.

Christa Slezak-Schindler provides clear instructions for breathing techniques, movements, and verses from Rudolf Steiner and others to help guide the reader toward the goal of broader consciousness and freedom.

This book is an English translation from German of Sprüche und Lautspiele als sprachpflegende Helfer (1996).
