About
Total Healing to the Limits of Living:
A Sourcebook for Awakening and Engaging the Healing Energies of the Tree of Life
This is a book for self-healers seeking personal and spiritual growth as they deal with challenge. The focus is on the growth possibilities hidden in the experience of illness or other adversity.
The kabbalistic Tree of Life suggests that particular areas of being and experience may be brought into balance by particular healing practices. This book suggests practices for remedying and overcoming any sort of imbalance or adversity. These practices are drawn from the great wisdom of Yoga, Jewish mysticism, Taoism, Buddhism, contemporary transpersonal psychology, and body-centered awareness practices. They cover the four worlds of experience—the physical world, the psychological world, the spiritual world, and the divine world.
