Healing in the Western view refers to the transition from a sick state to a state of recovery, exit from an illness. It is mainly connected to construction or building something that was weak or underperforming and is now recovering.
Healing from the Kabbalah perspective is different, it is related to a central concept in Kabbalah called Kelipot, shells, and is related to dysfunction or malfunction in the world. A person can be stuck in a reality of dysfunction such that sickness in this sense refers to heaviness or sadness or depression. The expression can be mental, emotional or physical. The idea is the same.
Another point, the root of healing, REFUA is very close in meaning to something that breaks down, and what breaks down is the shell. Breaking the shells of depression, sadness, breaking the shells of wrong and harmful patterned behavior.
The second idea in Kabbalah is that everything starts from the spiritual realm then in a gradual process spreads to the ‘real’ world. Our spiritual reality is what produces the mental reality, the emotional reality and the physical reality.
The idea in healing according to Kabbalah is: Instead of putting the focus on the solution in the physical, emotional or cognitive space, to put the focus and explore what is happening in the spiritual space, what is happening at the root of the problem. What requires treatment in a space that I am not aware of because it is in my subconscious and not in the conscious mind.
This kind of healing means that there is some energy deep inside me that is the root of the problem and that creates and causes psychological suffering or emotional pain, even physical dysfunction, and it has to be dealt with. So the idea is not only to break the shells but also to reach the source, the root that creates the problem in the spiritual space. And since everything is derived from there, healing at the root will lead to empowerment in all the other areas of our lives.
When working with people dealing with behavioral patterns that are not beneficial or illness or being stuck or even someone who is at a crossroads in his life in spiritual development and significant transformation.
All of these have a spiritual point that affects the situation, the spiritual diagnosis is very important in order to understand what is happening in other dimensions than the problem itself in order to know how to treat or deal with the situation, illnesses or indecision that we are facing. Exactly for the same reason that if you want to solve an equation, then you need to know all the parts of the equation we are dealing with.
There are several effective ways to examine the situation in its entirety, its conscious and less conscious parts. Through tools with the help of the tree of life, you can get the information and understand the complete picture, that is, the root of the problem.
Through the diagnosis we can understand in a practical way what is behind the emotional level and the cognitive level and what is happening at the root of the matter at the spiritual level. This process is important in order to refer to an appropriate way of treatment with the focus on the root of the matter itself.
After going through a process of diagnosis and in case that I can assist. The healing process itself is around the root issue we focus on. Usually the process includes a defined number of sessions where we dive through the levels of consciousness, physical, emotional and cognitive and bring the necessary healing to each dimension. The next step is to bring healing to the spiritual dimension as well, to unite all the parts and complete the process.
The healing process itself combines conversation, guided exercises, writing exercises, observation, self-work and guided meditative work. Root healing work will bring us to the release of that blockage or the release of the destructive structures or to the opening of the insight and defining new beneficial patterns for the stage we are in. The healing process will allow us to move favorably from this point in life on to the next point where we need to be.
There is a wide range of people I work with, there is no need to be connected to Judaism itself or a religious affiliation or Kabbalah.
The thing is, most of the issues I work with people are universal, we all have relationships, work, we all have spiritual crises, we all develop and we all face life. So it doesn’t matter. The point of working from esoteric knowledge from Kabbalah doesn’t change anything because the knowledge helps me understand the situation and from there I translate it into everyday knowledge so it doesn’t matter what the source is.
The knowledge from Kabbalah is important to me personally as a tool, but for those who come to me, it does not matter what their religious or spiritual background is, gender or identity. All are welcome.
