Kabbalah and Spiritual Healing

[coolguy]

In recent years a number of high profile celebrities, including Madonna and Britney Spears, have publicly embraced the Kabbalah, the ancient practice of Jewish spirituality. This popular coverage has made it seem to some that Kabbalah is a new invention, or a religious trend. In fact, the roots of Kabbalah go back for thousands of years.

The practice of self-healing through spirituality in the Jewish faith stems from the principles in Kabbalah as well as the Torah. Traditional or mainstream methods for achieving healing have involved prayers, singing and other more widely accepted approaches.

There are also alternative methods, ones that involve a more direct and personal connection to the physical self, as it relates to the spiritual. The Kabbalah promotes a deeply spiritual version of healing that calls upon the power of the human soul to bring about healing and wholeness.

At its core, Jewish healing is centered around a belief that all healing comes from a divine source, as a result of the will of God. And whether you are healed by a physician, medication or another source, it is God’s will that caused the healing to occur. This differs quite radically from other types of spiritual healing. In most alternative therapies, the healing comes from whatever source directly brings it about. In Kabbalah, the healing itself comes through a variety of channels, but emanates from one spiritual and divine source.

It is relatively easy to find Kabbalah masters to help you learn the arts of Jewish healing. Several organizations exist to help you connect with a Kabbalah center in your city. And there are programs available online that can help you connect teachers and instructors.

One of these organizations is the Society of Souls. This group promotes the use of a method called Integrated Kabbalah Healing, or IKH. It is based on a combination of ancient Kabbalah understanding and modern-day science. The method aims to provide a practical framework in which to promote healing of one’s self and others. This is in accordance with Kabbalah’s belief that individual healing helps to bring about healing in others and in world at large, as we are all related on a spiritual level.

The Society of Souls offers a 3-year training program, offered in a series of weekend retreats. The program includes a support system for students, and can be an intensive spiritual journey.

There are other programs available for learning the art and science of Kabbalah and spiritual healing, including self-study guides. One program, call Life First, is available online at the Jewish Healing website. It is a set of 6 CDs, and the program is designed to give you the basic understanding you need to begin to use the techniques of Jewish spiritual healing. The makers of the program are attempting to continue the trend of given ordinary people access to the methods and wisdom of the healing arts. Often reserved as the realm of mystics or Kabbalists, Jewish spiritual healing can now be practiced by anyone with a sincere desire to learn it.

To find out more about the Kabbalah, and its practice of divine spiritual healing, contact your local Kabbalah center. You can find them in most mid- to large-sized cities. If you can’t find a Kabbalah center near you, try the local Jewish community organization for help. You may also be able to find a resource near your through the Internet. Or, contact one of the many Kabbalah guides that advertise on line.

Even though the modern publicity may make it seem like a fad, Kabbalah healing has been practiced for centuries, and is likely to continue to be an integral part of the Jewish faith.
