A guide for using the Kabbalistic Tree of Life in Jewish Meditation. This innovative book provides support for personal and spiritual awakening, and includes practices to encourage greater self-understanding and more compassionate action in the world. A meditative approach to greater awareness by a rabbi-psychotherapist who has taught Jewish meditation for almost thirty years.
Written originally for the 49-day Omer period between Passover and Shavuot (the receiving of Torah at Mt. Sinai), A JOURNEY OF AWAKENING has been expanded for use over any seven-week period of the year.
