Summary

A practical guidebook to Kabbalah -- an ancient Jewish mystical tradition -- for the general reader. A meaningful spirituality for people of all cultures and faiths, Kabbalah explains why we are born, the purpose of our lives, and where we are going once we complete our current cycle.

Up until very recently in certain Jewish traditions, Kabbalah was taught only to an elite group of men. Now Kabbalah is enjoying a resurgence of interest among powerful female role models, who are embracing its fundamental principles as a means of self-understanding and furthering personal and spiritual growth.

Uniting Western and Eastern spiritual traditions, the author clearly explains Kabbalah, making it accessible to readers from all backgrounds. With each concept, the author offers practical exercises drawing on your creativity and imagination so that you can integrate Kabbalah into the fabric of your daily life.
