Meditation and Kabbalah (P/B)

Meditation and Kabbalah clearly demonstrates how many advanced meditative techniques were used by the ancient Kabbalists, and explores their development in depth. The Kabbalah is divided into three branches, the theoretical, the meditative and the magical. While many books, both in Hebrew and English, have explored the theoretical Kabbalah, virtually nothing has been published regarding the meditative methods of these schools. This is the first book ever published in any language to reveal the methodology of the ancient Kabbalists and stress the meditative techniques that were essential to their discipline. Kaplan offers a lucid presentation of the mantras, mandalas and other devices used by these schools, as well as a penetrating interpretation of their significance in light of contemporary meditative research.
