The Restorative Power of Kabbalah

Rivka teaches classes such as this one, on the Restorative Power of Kabbalah for the Faith Learning Initiative at Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, IN and can teach this for your group.

This is a course designed for the lay person with no background in Judaism or Kabbalah, focusing on Kabbalistic principles and how they can be incorporated into our lives to reduce stress and tension and promote well-being.

Kabbalistic Healing

In this workshop we will approach healing from a holistic perspective – working on all levels of body, mind, emotion & spirit. Since all levels are interconnected, making changes on one level can affect all levels and the whole. It is considered particularly important to work on the spiritual level, which contains the “blueprint” of all that manifests on the other levels and our physical reality.

The seminar will include:

• Healing of Self, others and the world (Tikun Atzmi and Tikun Olam)
• Wisdom Teachings of the Rambam, Kabbalists and Chassidic Masters
• Kabbalistic Healing: Energy work and Sacred Sounds ("Toning") based on the teachings on Ma'aseh Bereishit, The Creation of the World, as expounded in Sefer Yetzira and other mystical teachings including Ma'aseh HaMerkavah, The Workings of the Chariot, mediations and healing treatments based on Ezekiel's vision.
• Laying on of Hands
• Heightened Sensory Perception: Sensing The Auric Field and strengthening one's intuition
• Meditations and Guided Imagery Work
• Sacred Sounds: Chants, Niggunim, Kabbalistic and Intuitive Toning
• Prayers and Psalms used and recommended for healing
• Distant (Absent) Healing

Aura Soma Color Therapy and Aromatherapy

Niggunim (melodies)

A niggun is a melody, generally a wordless tune, which is used to calm and focus us. Its repetition occupies the linear, language-making or left brain part of our brains, helping us to let go of the chatter within our minds.

Niggunim go back for millennia. Many niggunim were composed by the Kabbalists and Chassidic masters. More are continuing to be created.

Join Rivka in exploring niggunim and their power to evoke deep emotions, helping us achieve a closer connection to the Divine, a state of devaikut (cleaving) to G-d, higher planes of consciousness and ecstatic states that help to transform our lives with joy.
