Estelle Frankel mengt meesterlijk dieptepsychologie met de wijsheid en helende praktijken van de Kabbala, voortbouwend op haar uitgebreide ervaring als psychotherapeute en spiritueel adviseur. Ze biedt een unieke lens om de ingewikkelde verbinding tussen de psyche en het spirituele domein te onderzoeken, geïnformeerd door decennia aan het onderwijzen van Joods mysticisme. Haar aanpak biedt lezers wegen naar zelfontdekking en spirituele groei, waarbij ze de complexe wisselwerking tussen de innerlijke wereld en oude mystieke tradities onderzoekt. Frankels werk nodigt uit tot een dieper begrip van genezing en transformatie door de lens van Joodse wijsheid.
In Sacred Therapy Estelle Frankel travels to the heart of Jewish mysticism to reveal how people of any faith can draw upon this rich body of teachings to gain wisdom, clarity, and a deeper sense of meaning in the midst of modern life. In an engaging and accessible style, Frankel brings together tales and teachings from the Bible, the Talmud, Kabbalah, and the Hasidic traditions as well as evocative case studies and stories from her own life to create an original, inspirational guide to emotional healing and spiritual growth.
A deeply affirming exploration of the challenges and possibilities of the unknown with meditations and exercises that can help transform the fear and uncertainty of "not knowing" into a sense of openness, curiosity, and bravery. For most of us the unknown is both friend and foe. At times it can be a source of paralyzing fear and uncertainty, and at other times it can be a starting point for transformation, creativity, and growth. The unknown is a deep current that runs throughout all religions and mystical traditions, and it is also the nexus of contemporary psychotherapeutic thought and practice and a key element in all personal growth and healing. In The Wisdom of Not Knowing, psychotherapist Estelle Frankel shows us that our psychological, emotional, and spiritual health is radically influenced by how comfortable we are at navigating the unknown and uncertain dimensions of our lives. Drawing on insights from Kabbalah, depth psychology, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, and ancient myth, Frankel explores how we can grow our souls by tapping into the wisdom of not knowing. She also includes case studies of individuals who have grappled with their fears of the unknown and, as a result, have come out wiser, stronger, and more resilient. Each chapter includes experiential exercises and/or meditations for befriending the unknown. These exercises help convey how we must be willing to "not know" in order to gain knowledge and be able to bear uncertainty so we can be free to enjoy a healthy sense of adventure and curiosity
