Kabbalah
Kabbalah is the Mystical Tradition underlying both Judaism and Christianity.
- It is the body of esoteric teaching from the West and is an oral tradition passed down from teacher to student for thousands of years.
- The Hebrew word “Kabbalah” means “to receive” and asks us to open to receive the universal teaching of how to wake up and return to our true nature. It guides us to be a true divine human being.
This is no easy task!
How do we become a true divine human?
According to the Kabbalah map, there are 11 spheres of consciousness we learn
Kabbalah is one of the most profound and effective methods of spiritual training for those seeking to develop their souls. The universal principles of Kabbalah provide a powerful guide to enhance all areas of life – personally, professionally and spiritually.
The Tree of Life is a sacred map of the inner landscape to guide us through the necessary developments and transformations so that we can reconnect with the source of all life.
The main teaching diagram in Kabbalah is called the Tree of Life.
It consists of 11 archetypal qualities called “Sephirot” (pronounced Sef-ee-rote), which is a Hebrew word representing the spheres or fruits on the Tree. These archetypal qualities originate from the Divine Being and are echoed in human nature because we are created in the image of God.
The Kabbalistic Tree of Life is based on the sacred geometry of 3 Pillars and several Triads: the lower Vegetable Triad of thoughts, feelings & actions, the Awakening Triad, Soul Triad, Spiritual Triad, Divine Triad. There are also important side triads of Emotional Complexes and Intellectual Concepts.
Sacred Geometry
The Tree of Life map is a sacred geometric diagram that overlays onto the human body, activating what we call the Light Grid. This is also called the Merkabah, the Light Body or energy body that connects the physical body to our emotional, mental, astral and spiritual bodies.

Let’s climb the Kabbalistic Tree
- Starting from the base of the Tree, Malkhut (mal-koot) represents the body and our anchor point to the earth. Here we consciously connect with nature and feel grounded and embodied in the present.
- Yesod (yes-od) represents the ego, the foundation of the psyche concerned with safety, comfort and survival needs. Yesod knows exactly what you want and need to feel secure in life.
- Hod (hode) is your communication system, your ability to receive information, process, analyze and make the appropriate connections. It facilitates your intuition.
- Nezah (net-zah)represents your instinctive, “gut” responses to life; attractions and repulsions that naturally draw you to or away from people and situations.
- Tiferet (tee-fer-et)is the captain of the psyche’s ship, your true Self that can harmonize and integrate the personality into a working whole. Tiferet is your radiant, shining core Self concerned with your individual truth and self-expression.
- Gevurah (ge-voo-rah)is the justice and discipline carried out by the Warrior within you. This is the energy you use to set boundaries and protect your truth. Gevurah focuses your energies and harnesses your will.
- Hesed (hes-ed)is your ability to love and show mercy and compassion. Hesed is an active, powerful force leading you to your passion and heart’s true desire.
- Daat (dah-aht) means knowledge, direct experience that brings a profound sense of knowing without a doubt. Daat enables you to transform your heart and renew your mind.
- Binah (bee-nah) is Divine understanding, the ability to see the universal laws at work in the world and in your own life. Binah understands the workings of fate and how all events are woven together in a vast cosmic plan.
- Hokhmah (hoke-mah) is Divine wisdom, the flash of revelation, inspiration and divine insight that can radically change your world in an instant. Hokhmah is your expansive, creative energy, always thinking of new possibilities and new horizons.
- Keter (keh-ter) means crown and is your connection to the Divine, the source of all life. Keter dissolves all boundaries that are keeping you from the Divine and enables you to experience profound healing and inner peace.
The Three Pillars
The Tree is based on 3 vertical pillars that are in a constant interactive dance: the left pillar of form, the right pillar of force and the central pillar of consciousness.
Alternatively they are called the pillars of structure (left pillar), expansion (right pillar) and equilibrium (central pillar).
As your soul ignites into an awakened state, developing and transforming, it dances back and forth between the left and right hand pillars, experiencing sorrow and joy, constriction and expansion, reflection and action, rest and play.
The Central Pillar of Consciousness
The goal of the transformation process is to continually touch base with the central pillar of consciousness, processing and making sense of your life experiences.
When stable and permanent contact is made, the central pillar integrates all your diverse experiences, emotions, revelations and dreams into a meaningful whole. With this powerful harmonizing and equalizing focus, the soul can develop, flourish and find its purpose in life.
