Healing ways - All you need is love

“In October 2006, we featured an account of the remarkable life of Hilde Holger, pioneer of modern dance and movement whose daughter Primavera, also a dancer, has specialised in Alignment Therapy, closely akin to to Yoga posture. Central to both their lives is Darius, son of Hilde, who was born with Down’s Syndrome and who celebrated his 58th birthday on 9th February... The many ways in which Darius has influenced others, directly and in more subtle ways, is testimony to the power of love and “spirit” to shape an equally remarkable life...
It was feared that Darius would not survive as a baby, and many times subsequently. The medical specialists at Great Ormond Street were rendered helpless. He was born with three holoes in the heart and severe circulatory and breathing problems. But, thanks to our father’s care and innovative treatment, he is with us still. Encouraged by his positive progress, our father who was a doctor and homeopath, was to devote much of his later life to research for non-toxic treatments for cancer.
Our mother always believed that Darius deserved an expressive life and actively involved (him) in dance classes...
I too owe such a lot to Darius. He has shown me that logic is not always the solution in healing. What is most important is the attention and exchange of love. Darius has been a great teacher to us all. He has such wonderful, healing energy and shows unconditional affection. Everyone always feels relaxed in his presence. He treats everyone with great respect and is completely translucent in his emotions...”

The article continues to discuss various aspects of Darius’ life and how he has influenced and affected many people.
