Meditative Kabbalistic eating is an ancient method describing the spiritual changes occuring within food during its absorption into the body and actualizes this knowledge in practice via a series of exercises in guided imagery. In a somewhat novel approach, this method is not about WHAT to eat but is a guide on HOW to eat.

The gastronomic topic serves as a springboard to the basic concepts of Kabbalah, building a broad lexicon of terms and presenting them in an accessible and logical framework. From a Kabbalistic point of view, there is an intimate connection between spirit and matter, similar to a ‘tango’ dance which allows us to highlight the amazing harmony between the mystical aspects of eating and nutritional science.

The reader will discover a varied and rich tapestry of information that rarely appears inside a single book and is intended to appeal to every inquisitive person - regardless of their religious belief.
