Book Description

2003
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book brings the mystical to the breakfast table., June 21, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: A Journey of Awakening: 49 Steps from Enslavement to Freedom: A Guide for Using the Kabbalistic Tree of Life in Jewish Meditation (Paperback)
I am not a rabbi or a meditator or a new-age dilettante and I like this book. For centuries the wisdom and utility of kabbalah has been hidden and only carefully and sparingly revealed to the serious seeker. In this book Rabbi Falcon very carefully and clearly instructs us in exactly how to bring the usefulness of the mystical into our daily lives during the crucial 49-day period between the holidays of Passover and Shavuot. This is an instruction book; the fact that its aim is limited, focussed and utilitarian attests to its seriousness and practicality. Although it requires little or no background it is, nevertheless, not your Little Golden Book of Kabbalah. This book is for grownups.

5.0 out of 5 stars A splendid invitation to grow through Jewish mysticism., May 26, 1999
This review is from: A Journey of Awakening: 49 Steps from Enslavement to Freedom: A Guide for Using the Kabbalistic Tree of Life in Jewish Meditation (Paperback)
Rabbi Ted Falcon's "A Journey of Awakening" provides new and on going explorers of Jewish mystical tradition a beautiful opportunity to integrate sacred teachings into their personal lives. This is done without neglect of the intellectual components that comprise the tradition and in a way which fully allows for an individual flowering of the spirit. "A Journey of Awakening" is a rare contribution to the new and expanding consciousness which Jews have been seeking. It is simply a gift.
