Total Kabbalah: Bring Balance and Happiness into Your life

Rate this book
In the same illustrated format as the best-selling Total Feng Shui , here is a highly accessible guide to the practice of Kabbalah, the once-hidden tradition of Jewish mysticism. Total Kabbalah systematically describes each school of kabbalistic thought, including Jewish, Christian, Magical, Toledano, Lurianic, and Hasidic varieties. Straightforward text and easy-to-read diagrams, charts, and bulleted lists outline the facts, traditions, legends, and formulae behind each doctrine and also address the rumors and misunderstandings that surround this mystical practice. From divine principles and guidance on reading the Bible to practical techniques for prayer and meditation, Total Kabbalah makes it easy to draw on this ancient wisdom today.

About the author

Maggy Whitehouse

41 books13 followers
Rev. Maggy Whitehouse teaches Kabbalah, Bible Metaphysics, Soul Wisdom, Abundant Living and HeartWork: Spiritual Marketing in workshops across the UK, USA and Europe. She is the author of 16 published books including ‘Total Kabbalah, ’ ‘From Credit Crunch to Pure Prosperity’ and the best-selling 'Miracle Man' (O-Books), a novel about a modern-day messiah who is a judge on the US X Factor. Imagine a Simon Cowell figure as Christ!

Her other fiction and non-fiction books include practical and easy-to-understand guides to Kabbalah, the Spiritual Laws of Prosperity and the life and times of women in Biblical times.

Maggy trained as a journalist and has worked in print media, radio and television including the BBC World Service. She was the UK's second female breakfast DJ on local radio and an assistant producer on the fabled Pebble Mill at One.

She wrote her first book, China By Rail, in 1987 after spending six summers travelling around China - and met her first husband while filming two ITV documentaries in China a year later. Henry Barley died a year after their wedding in 1990 and it was the hospital chaplain who told Maggy that, as an atheist, Henry could not go to heaven, who inspired her to start investigating alternatives to her previous 'armchair Christianity.'

This search was intensified after she came out the winner in a brief encounter with an eight-foot barracuda off the Barrier Reef in Australia...

Maggy is a qualified teacher of healing in two disciplines and studied Kabbalah with Z'ev ben Shimon Halevi for sixteen years. She has written three Kabbalistic novels, ‘The Book of Deborah,’ ‘ Into the Kingdom’ and ‘Leaves of the Tree’ about a fictional adopted sister of Jesus of Nazareth, and is an acknowledged expert both on the life and times of women in Biblical times and also in Kabbalistic interpretations of the New Testament.

She teaches seminars and workshops in the UK, USA and Europe and is just as happy speaking to Masons in Washington DC as to congregations of traditional and New Thought Churches and local holistic fairs. In 2011 she is teaching in the UK, USA, France, Czech Republic and Romania.

Maggy is consultant editor of the Midlands holistic magazine, The Tree of Life, and has taught workshops in Kabbalah, Prosperity Consciousness and Comparative Religion in the UK, USA, Europe, Russia and Israel since 1993. She was the founder-producer of the BBC's now-defunct spirituality website, which was morphed into the corporation's Religion & Ethics site.

In 2007 she was ordained into The Apostolic Church of the Risen Christ, an independent sacramental church. She is now visiting lecturer in Judaism and Kabbalah for the UK Interfaith Seminary.

Maggy lives in Birmingham, England, with her husband, Peter Dickinson.

I don't really want to create a shelf, but if I were to make one for reference books that I have explored but not fully digested, I'd put this on there. Really readable text with fantastic layout and visual presentation -- I just realize now its the kind of book I'm more likely to leaf through when I need a different angle on a topic than to read from cover to cover.

Very interesting read, but it's my first book on Kabbalah. It is looking at the basic concept of the Tree of Life from many different angles. I felt like it broke things down quite succinctly.
