What is Integrated Kabbalistic Healing?
Integrated Kabbalistic Healing offers a profound and transformative healing process for –
• self-exploration and personal growth
• living life more consciously
• promoting physical, emotional and spiritual healing
Integrated Kabbalistic Healing (IKH) is a profound healing method that is based on the ancient wisdom and insights of Kabbalah or Jewish mysticism. IKH offers us a path through the Etz Chayim – or Tree of Life – to Wholeness (or what some may call God), and it is in Wholeness that healing on a physical, psychological, or spiritual level can be manifested.
What is the Tree of Life?
According to Kabbalah, God created the world and manifested the many out of the One through the vehicle of the Tree of Life. Kabbalah also teaches that the Tree of Life is a like a blueprint or a map of each human being and that we are made in the image of the Tree.
The Tree of Life consists of ten emanations – called the sephirot (pronounced sphere-oat) – which are the fundamental forces of creation. The sephirot are in dynamic relationship with each other, and these relationships may be either supported or disrupted through our actions and life experiences. IKH is a powerful tool that repairs and heals the relationships between the sephirot, providing us with support at the fundamental levels of creation. As these relationships within our individual Tree of Life are healed, we gain access to our innate wholeness and truth.
How Can Integrated Kabbalistic Healing Support Me?
IKH offers a deeply transformative process for anyone who is on a path of self-exploration and wants to live his or her life with more awareness and consciousness. Each IKH session creates the conditions for you to move into greater wholeness and integration, and this integration happens at your own unique pace. The journey into Wholeness also touches us in unique ways as it brings to the surface anything that is not yet integrated in our lives. For example, we may become aware of hidden feelings or gain insights into how certain beliefs or experiences have affected our lives. As we become more integrated, we feel a deeper and fuller connection to life and we gain the freedom that comes with a greater ability to be with life as it is.
Each IKH session creates the conditions for you to move into greater wholeness and integration, and this integration happens at your own unique pace.
By healing the relationships within the Tree of Life, IKH also promotes healing on a physical, psychological, or spiritual level. Imbalances in the Tree of Life can manifest in our lives in various ways, such as through a physical symptom or illness, an addiction, depression, or an unhealthy relationship. IKH addresses the disharmony within the Tree that may be at the root of the symptom, allowing the healed condition to emerge and manifest.
It is not necessary for you to have studied Kabbalah to experience IKH, and people of all spiritual backgrounds or religious beliefs can benefit from IKH. To borrow a saying of Rabbi Isaac the Blind, an early kabbalist of the 12th century, the healing benefits of IKH are received “by way of nourishment, not by way of knowledge.”
What Happens During an IKH Session?
Each session begins with a conversation where we explore anything that you may wish to discuss about your life, including any physical, emotional or spiritual issue. The IKH diagnostic process deepens our exploration and guides me to the healing that is the most appropriate choice for that session. The actual healing is experienced in silence during which you need not do anything but rest comfortably. A session lasts about an hour.
IKH can supplement but is not meant to substitute for medical treatment, psychotherapy, or other alternative health therapies; each of these approaches has its role to play in our healing. IKH is an appropriate choice when you are looking for a spiritual approach to support your healing and evolution.
