Sinossi
La Kabbalah si divide in tre aree fondamentali: teorica, meditativa e magica. Molti libri ne hanno esplorato l'aspetto teorico, ma pressoché niente è stato scritto sui suoi metodi di meditazione. Nel presente libro, il celebre rabbino Aryeh Kaplan, avvalendosi di numerosi testi mai tradotti o apparsi a stampa, presenta le tecniche meditative utilizzate dagli antichi kabbalisti, esplorando in profondità il loro sviluppo. Per questa ragione, "Meditazione e Kabbalah" raccoglie per la prima volta le testimonianze sulle tecniche essenziali alla pratica kabbalista. Kaplan offre una lucida panoramica degli strumenti meditativi come mantra e mandala, utilizzati dai mistici e dalle scuole esoteriche kabbalistiche, coinvolgendo il lettore in una penetrante interpretazione del loro significato alla luce della moderna ricerca sulla meditazione e sugli stati non ordinari di coscienza.

Recensioni
I found this book to be very helpful in my study of Kabbalah and Meditation as the title suggests. Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan is a fantastic guide through some very intricate and detailed subjects. I would recommend any of the books Rabbi Kaplan has written. This is a book that should be read and re-read be Leggi tutto
This is an incredible book. It is so in depth yet it will suck you in. Probably one of the best books I have read on the subject.
This book changed my life, and was a major reference during the eight years I spent writing The Kabbalah Sutras.
unorganized information Clearly the author has done a tremendous amount of research on the topic but it’s pretty unorganized and difficult to digest. There’s very little in the way of practical instruction and dense passages packed with names places and dates that don’t seem very relevant to modern u Leggi tutto
A great source of wisdom for meditation methods, as well as a study of the history of Kabbalah and many of its various sages and rabbis who have provided this knowledge over the centuries since the Spanish banishment.
This book provides a clear history of the development of Kabbalistic ideas and their ties to the practice of Jewish Meditation. It's clear, interesting read and worthwhile for anybody looking to begin understanding the mystical side of the Jewish tradition.
another step towards 3500 year old meditation
This could've used a bit more actionable information (meditations) and a bit less history/academic background
Fascinating and one of my three favorite books of all time. It's not for the faint of heart or the judgmental uneducated on Kosher Torah Kabbalah kind of people.
