Synopsis

For centuries Kabbalah has been considered too sacred for the general public. Now it is becoming widely known and widely studied. Here, in one volume, is an introduction to its perennial wisdom and its practical application to your life. The unique map of consciousness central to Kabbalah is the so-called Tree of Life, which aims to integrate all aspects of ourselves: mind, body, and spirit. Just as Sufism represents the mystical or devotional path of Islam, so the Kabbalah enhances an understanding of Judaic law and lore.

About this title

Review:

. . . it's to Dedopulos' credit that he makes (almost) understandable something that is so very complicated . . . The clean format aids concentration, the historical images add interest, and illustrations of the Tree of Life are clear and helpful to learning . . .Exercises allow readers to try out meditation techniques that lead closer to the practice of kabbalah. A good starting point. --"Booklist""
