Editorial Reviews

Review

"A top pick for spirituality readers that should not be overlooked." --Midwest Book Review

"...Takes the reader through a typical day with exercises that can help one live a more joyous, productive, and spiritual life in the modern world... He also has many overall whole life exercises, which range from confronting the inner terrorists-the creatures (thought patterns that have taken root) within us that keep us stuck (in the past) or worried (in the future); to confronting indecisiveness; to burying the past; even to awakening to spirit and joining the divine...This beautiful book emphasizes balance and patience; it even promotes releasing goal-setting and to set intentions instead. Above all, every page advocates consciously making wise choices-away from the confines of time and back to the place where freedom and peace exist: now." --Science of Mind

"...Mental imagery exercise to use throughout the day to increase awareness, balance, and peace." --Foreword Magazine Review

"Strategies for dealing successfully with the everyday stresses...Do you have inner Terrorists? This book offers a way to overcome them." --Bill Tammeus Faith Matters Weblog

"As a physician and pioneer in the use of mental imagery to heal mental and physical ailments, this book delves into the imbalances that lie at the root of our daily stresses. This inspirational book fuses the ancient mystical wisdom of the Kabbalah with 60 visual exercises that help us conquer negativity, reopen our spiritual passageways, and find strength amid life's challenges." --Vision Magazine

"We rarely post "Kabbalah" books here, which has become an unseemly industry, But this book is different...Dr. Epstein discusses why GOALS should be abandoned and replace with "aims and intentions." Rather than being in love with the future and the past, he teaches how to refocus our love on the Present." --Myjewishbooks.com

"Epstein is already an established expert in using guided imagery to heal both mental and physical ailments. The author of Healing Visualizations, here he draws on Kabbalah as a source of inspiration and guidance, providing practical exercises for relaxation and restoration, along with stories of successful treatments." --JTnews.net

"According to Epstein, the disconnection between people and the divine force comes from constant external stimuli from work, finances, television and myriad distractions. Yet through these daily exercises, we can tune out the racket and transcend into a mystical union that brings healing, balance and harmony to our lives." --Sepharim.net

This review is from: Kabbalah for Inner Peace (Paperback)

Kabbalah for Inner Peace can take you through your day in a new way as an important guide to your inner life. I have used it personally and have recommended it to my psychotherapy clients who have found the imagery exercises to be meaningful avenues to trarnquility and healing. This book has something special to offer everyone. It speaks to people where they are and can teach them ways to go in a direction they're seeking.
