Nefesh: The Earth-Soul

A spirit-stimulating sequence to explore your body's divine aspects.

By Jay Michaelson

Madonna, Britney, and Demi recently popularized Kabbalah (the Hebrew word for "tradition") first for Hollywood and then for America. But the body of esoteric, mystical Jewish teachings has been around for centuries.
