Kabbalah For Inner Peace offers a contemporary approach to the 4,000 year-old spiritual tradition called Visionary Kabbalah. This practice weaves the wisdom of Kabbalah with short mental imagery exercises. Through this path, we discover new perspectives, create change, and open ourselves to Spirit. With more than 60 exercises, the book takes us though a typical day and addresses the challenges that we frequently face, from centering ourselves in the morning to alleviating insomnia at night. In between, Dr. Gerald Epstein teaches us to conquer the inner terrorist of anxiety and self-doubt, master our financial worries, cope with physical pain, and deal with past trauma.
