Patient/Personal Empowerment

Our medical systems need to embody real heart-based care in order to be effective.

Our current healthcare crisis exists, because we need to shift how we practice medicine and how practitioners treat patients, because kind and compassionate care is the only healer in the world. Loving kindness always heals.

Patients should be asking themselves how they can learn about their innate strengths and weaknesses and how to work with them successfully. We all have weak spots and places where we must put a lot of effort into healing and places where things are easier for us. Understanding our wiring on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level helps us to become proactive persons or patients who understand what they must do in order to prevent disease. The goal should always be to consciously work with the challenges we came into this life with.

It is so easy to take a pill and hope for a cure. Unfortunately, this is not how life works and by suppressing important lessons and our vital force to the detriment of our growth, we worsen our health over the long term.

Only through brave and honest investigations into our medical and psychological blueprints, can we make smart choices pertaining to our health that lead to health and healing. We are all unique and there is no way we can possibly fall into current disease categories. It is simply impossible. Even the birth charts of twins and the stories their souls come into this lifetime with, are different. Medicine falls short in offering individualized care and even the search for the holy grail of medical research - our DNA - fails to account for the soul. the energy which animates us.

Through her own experience with her own challenging medical issues and many misdiagnoses, Elke has learned how to use astrological timing techniques to create awareness of the interplay between emotions, her body and life-events, which assist in soul growth and development. Through many her own medical challenges, she learned to become the best astrologer and patient advocate she can be.

We call this approach the astrobiomedical approach, using the birth chart as a template to provide accurate information not only about the physical body, but also how we think, how we feel, how we approach life and how this is all woven together to make us who we are. AND, how time works with us to shape us continuously. It’s not until life is over that we stop learning. Our life is given to us to learn. To grow. To become better.

Truly, our bodies, minds, emotions, soul and spirit are one and must be treated as such if healing is to take place. Thankfully, astrology can teach this wisdom.

The biggest void in current medical understanding is the lack of a cohesive system addressing all causes. But astrology, with its multi-faceted approach of looking at a person through a physical, mental and emotional lens, can achieve this. And in the process, astrology empowers patients through self-knowledge, so they can support their own health journey in wise and enlightened ways, that are more likely to steer them in a positive and preventative direction.

The basic premise is this: we come into this world with a physical body that serves as a vessel for learning how to become a more evolved soul. Many times, difficult circumstances, and especially health issues, propel us forward in our soul’s learning and we must take care not to suppress these valuable lessons.

With full understanding of who we truly are, we can navigate life happier, healthier and with an awareness of what we are meant to do here in this lifetime.

Which means peace. And the inevitable immeasurable power that comes with understanding who we are and what we came here to do.

Disclaimer: Elke is not a licensed physician. She does not practice medicine. But she does interpret the astrological chart to advise on inherent weaknesses and strengths, all of which can support health. Complex medical issues can often lead to insights and understanding through this broader lens, but actual diagnosis and treatment is ALWAYS left up to the professionals.
