I agree that it was a difficult read, and no knowledge in Kabbalah will find you searching for understanding through other sources, regardless, it was a fascinating book, and subject, and I cherish this book, that I have gone off to purchase for others I really care about. I own two copies, one I lend out, and the other I won't let go of. I rarely can finish a book from cover to cover, I've read it twice. I highly recommend Rabbi Ginsburgh's earlier book, and somewhat of an introductory to Kabbalah, "What You Need To Know About Kabbalah" so as to have an easier time navigating through the pages.

Body, Mind and Soul: Kabbalah on Human Physiology, Disease and Healing is by the noted rabbi and chassidic kabbalist, Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh (of inner.org) and published by Dwelling Place Publishers.

The concept behind this book is to lay out the kabbalist framework of health and, G-d forbid, it's opposite, disease. It discusses in depth and in detail, how is the body energized (how G-dly energy is received by and flows through the body), and how certain symptoms related to certain problems associated with it. And of course, potentially that leads to understanding certain spiritual corrections that need to be made, thereby leading to healing.

And it's great, in concept. As a practical matter, the book requires at least an intermediate level of kabbalah or chassidic understanding, and is written like a college textbook. The presentation is dry and technical, making it a hard read and more useful as a reference book than a topical review.

If you've got some serious kabbalah background and are looking for a book to research specific health issues, you may find it useful in pinpointing spiritual problems (note I didn't say resolving them). Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it.

Thanks for being so prompt with the arrival of this book. It was shipped and received in a timely manner. Much quicker than anticipated! Thank you!
