What is Kabbalistic Healing (KH)?

It is an energy and information-based healing system derived from the age-old wisdom system of Kabbalah. Kabbalah has a very long tradition possibly dating back over 4,000 years - some say the knowledge predates creation itself! KH incorporates general and specific practices for sharing of this energy-information between a client and practitioner.

These practices can be taught and are fairly easily learned by most anyone given the appropriate training. Many of the practices can really be conceptualized as forms of nonsecular, spiritual prayer. KH enables the practitioner to "channel" universally available energy/frequency information for the integrated healing of body, mind and spirit (ih-BMS).

Due to the very nature of KH - because it operates in a realm that goes far beyond the 4 dimensional domain of our "standard" material earthly existence - KH actually goes even beyond your ih-BMS (which is amazing if you give this some thought); KH fundamentally addresses the personal evolvement of the individual on a spirit-soul level.

It is in a sense helping to create a new "opening" within, of you to your Truest self. In other words it is accelerating your remembrance of who you truly are. Such an opening, even in a single session can have a huge positive impact on your life and all its aspects - under the condition that you choose and allow that for yourself.

Exercising choice and assuming responsibility for self are keys! In a sense KH is a form of nonsectarian shared prayer - Kabbalah prayers! KH is actually based on centuries-old, well-established and validated holistic, systematic healing principles and our work has clearly demonstrated its positive impacts on many of our clients - some might even consider them miraculous (although we make no such claims as to KH's effects). You'll find the testimonials of my clients very informative in that regard, along with some of their case studies.



What is Kabbalah?

Kabbalah is a Hebrew word which can be translated as received or accepted wisdom, or received tradition. It comes from a root Hebrew verb meaning to receive, get or accept (another unrelated meaning of the root is to make parallel - very significant in that it tells us that Kabbalah has tools to help us make choices of pathways freely available to us!).

The object of this reception is knowledge and information that has been (made) available to humankind since the dawn of creation concerning our origins and who in fact we are. In that, Kabbalah is an advanced information-wisdom system that incorporates the principles of Life, Love, and Light - the 3L's!

The most fundamental of the concepts of Kabbalah - is that there exists a unifying and integrative Source of all of creation from which all is born and all imbued with the "signature" (the "virtual DNA") of the Creator - that Creator is pure being itself, beyond the created and ultimately beyond human conception or comprehension.

This knowledge and information is however, already a part of (inside of) each human being, mostly in latent or dormant form following birth. One of our missions in life, as we develop, is to remember we who indeed are and whence we have come - which has the effect of reconnecting us back to our Source and ourselves.

By increasing personal awareness of these realities through study, prayer, meditation, and other techniques ( e.g., astral projection, OBE, healing), one becomes increasingly able to access and manifest the infinite Light emanating from our Source (and bathing all of creation) for our own personal development-evolvement and for the repair and reunification of the entire cosmos!

This concept, which is closely related to monotheism (the One God concept) is usually attributed to Abraham, the Father of the three Western faiths of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, while bearing in mind that the germination and development of this idea likely spanned history from Adam and Eve down through the generations (to Noah and from there continued on to Abraham then on to Moses, to Jesus, Mohammed and continuing on to our present generation).

The wisdom of Kabbalah also may have "headed east" when Abraham sent several of his sons there bearing gifts (as recorded in the Book of Genesis). Those gifts may possibly have led to the original dissemination of knowledge and wisdom within the traditions of Ayurveda, Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, etc. Or the wisdom in those traditions may have come independently from Source just as the Kabbalistic information which was received (first) by the Hebrews (the descendants of modern Judaism) and passed on from there.

Kabbalah is a dynamic living corpus whose chief symbol is the Kabbalistic Tree of Life - a living symbol representative of "man created in the image and similitude of God." It is not sufficient to study Kabbalah - ultimately it must be experienced in order to "get it."

As a result of receiving the gift of Kabbalah, the Jewish people assumed the sober responsibility of "paying it forward" - that is, disseminating the wisdom and information embodied within Kabbalah to all the nations and peoples of the earth to be taken on as each's own birthright and legacy. In this way then, Kabbalah transcends all religions and therefore holds arguably the greatest potential to unite all peoples, religions, nations and communities - the entire world - in everlasting peace, harmony, and love.

Think about that last statement for a moment: a system for ensuring not only universal peace but personal peace and salvation is readily available - all we have to do is use it! Although for centuries Kabbalah was taught in secret, the information contained within it is freely available today to all peoples and embodies an ongoing system of personal and communal continuing education.

There are many excellent sources of information on Kabbalah and you'll find some of these discussed throughout our website. No one group or individual "owns" Kabbalah or has brought it forth alone to the world, nor does anyone have a copyright on it.

Many groups, from many different traditions (not just Jewish ones) have passed this wisdom down throughout the ages. I like to think of Kabbalah as God's gift to ALL of humanity given first to the Jewish people and from them to ALL peoples and nations of the world to be shared as true partners of peace and love.

What is Kabbalah-Consciousness, and why is it important?

Kabbalah Consciousness refers to two related concepts: it is YOU, after you have studied Kabbalah for a while and you have experienced what is sometimes referred to as an "aha" moment - a moment of enlightenment. At that point you have gone through what I refer to as a Gateway to the Endless and have achieved a basic "consciousness" of Kabbalah. You have begun the process of reception and acceptance, which is the very hallmark of Kabbalah.

From there your remembrance and your development-evolvement continues to unfold. Note that Kabbalah Consciousness is not quite the same as Kabbalah itself. That is because one cannot truly partake of Kabbalah by merely considering it as if it were an academic subject or discipline for study (like taking a math or science course). Kabbalah must be experienced (internalized) on many different levels to begin to "get it."

In other words Kabbalah is lived from the inside out, not just thought about or discussed (from outside in). The second idea is that Kabbalah Consciousness is a meta-concept of "mind" - that is The Divine Mind or Universal Cosmic Consciousness. In this sense Kabbalah Consciousness is an emanation of Light-energy-information from The Creator forming a field or substrate (a "matrix"!) that comprises and indeed permeates all of existence.

This idea of consciousness goes well beyond that of human consciousness. Kabbalah consciousness is a meta-concept that includes human consciousness. We humans are blessed in that not only is this field an integrated holistic part of us, each of us can actually "tap" into it, extracting energy and information (only) for our own betterment, the betterment of others and of the entire cosmos!

And that indeed is the very purpose of Kabbalistic Healing - to assist one in "tapping into" their portion of this field in order to enhance their personal development and evolution in a dynamic movement toward the ultimate reunification of The All That Is!



How does KH work?

Essentially, the healing facilitator "opens up" a channel through which the Universal healing energy-information from Source comes through. In this way the facilitator becomes a conduit of this Divine energy-information and then transmits/shares this with the client in order to open up the client's own gateway to allow this energy-information to flow through her.

The facilitator's deliberate intention to allow this healing energy-information to flow through her along with the client's permission to allow for self-healing, act as the "mechanisms" for both healing and personal evolvement (transformation/shifting) to occur. The facilitator does not actually perform the healing - rather, the client, along with the Universal Wisdom-Intelligence of The Creator, directs her own healing process.

The facilitator is therefore functioning as a kind of "assistant healer" for the client, as the healing work is actually directed by the client herself! In fact the facilitator has no control, "say so" or necessarily even knowledge of the kind of shifts that may take place for the client. And yet, the facilitator is often an integral and extremely powerful catalyst to enable the healing to take place with the client.

The work is taking place at the ih-BMS level - the level of the "total You." Sessions really serve as an initial opening to the universal energies-information - from there results unfold in time. The process does not require any active participation from the client, nor is it necessary for the client "to believe in it."

KH, just like Kabbalah itself, is not religion! The process however, is determined by the client's having taken responsibility for their life, and then granting permission, through their expressed intent, for self-transformation to occur - only then can the healing facilitator's work be maximally effective for the client.

In addition, it is important to recognize that within this type of system there is a perspective where there is little distinction between client and facilitator - because the system is an interactional one - one of optimal sharing. In that sense both are "exposed to" and therefore partaking of the healing energy-information-Light (recall the words "physician heal thyself" which is addressing this principle).

Procedurally, the client sets up an appointment for a session with me in my office or remotely. In the office the client lies on a very comfortable massage table, and closes her eyes. Clients are not required to do anything other than keep eyes closed and experience whatever it is they will experience. It is suggested that they mentally observe and "record" what they experience during the session. It is almost invariably very pleasant and relaxing.

Normally, unless requested for purposes of specific physical healing, there is no physical contact with the client other than at the end when I place my hand on the shoulder to signal the end of session. Considering that there is usually no physical contact it never ceases to amaze me what transpires for clients during sessions.

Following this I "debrief" the client and take notes or record what they report as to their experiences during the session (anything they felt, heard, saw, thought). I am using this information to catalog case studies of my clients as a form of research I am conducting to be published soon in book form.



What is the Kabbalah KonnectionTM (KK)?

It is an advanced form of KH developed exclusively by us. It is carried out as a live "procedure" and is based specifically on the "technology" of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. It takes place over two sessions at least 24 hours apart and no more than 72 hours apart.

Each of us was created in the form of the Tree of Life (which has many attributes of our God-Source) but from the time we were infants we have not been, for the most part, aware of or connected with our Tree's powerful presence within us. This Tree is analogous to an advanced energy-circuit network within us - your energetic-etheric body.

The Tree has roots that one can think of as analogous to an electrical plug. The plug connects to the energy-information-Light of God. However, the roots of our Tree are no longer plugged in!

The KK is designed to first bring back into your field of awareness the presence of the Tree - this energy circuit-body - within you, then to essentially connect the roots (the plug) back to Divine Source, and finally to energize or open up fully all the spheres, channels and pathways within your Tree so that the energy-information-Light from Source can flow freely and fully throughout your entire being.

This has several effects, 1) to restore our connection back to Divine Source, 2) completely revitalize our Tree and therefore ourselves, 3) reduce the myriad blockages that impede our lives, and 4) restore energy-information-Light flow throughout our bodies and the totality of our being.

In short, KK plugs you back in! Unless you somehow "unplug" yourself, you only need to do this one time in your entire life. It is a very powerful and advanced evolutionary procedure that you can enjoy for the very low price of only $244!

This amount corresponds numerologically with an energy of wholeness, unity, Oneness (2 + 4 + 4 = 10; 1 + 0 = 1. The tenth letter in Hebrew, Yod, the smallest, is symbolic of God's presence, while the first letter Aleph is symbolic of the four letter name of God, the Tetragrammaton, Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh).

How can you afford NOT to do this? I require my clients to have at least one regular KH session prior to the KK. If you have one KH session plus the KK, the combined cost is $316 (which retains the energy of Unity), that's almost 50% off of the first KH session (usually 75 minutes long, $120).

Please note: from here on when I refer to KH I am referring to both regular Kabbalistic Healing sessions and the KK.



Who should experience KH?

Every human being could benefit from experiencing KH! It could enhance everything and anything positive about an individual, especially their overall health, well being and personal development. The earlier in life it is experienced the better the opportunity one has to live up to their full potential.

Therefore, EVERY person could/would benefit from experiencing this form of healing work! Think about the potential benefit-to-risk ratio: it cost very little on a per session basis to experience KH compared to the potential lifelong benefits.

Most of us will spend tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars over our lifetime in health care costs. For the cost of a few KH sessions and/or the KK you might very well eliminate a HUGE amount of such expenditures. I call that a major health insurance plan!



What could KH do for me?

Here are specific things that KH can assist one in achieving after just one or a few sessions, given their full permission and intent for it to be so:

  • Heal ANY condition such as cancer, heart disease, high cholesterol, obesity, ADHD, neuropsychiatric disorders, sleep disorders, skin conditions, body shaping/contouring, and many, many others!
  • Improve memory, intelligence and the ability to learn.
  • Increase self-esteem, eliminate depression and anxiety, erase fear!
  • Reduce anger and violence, reduce limiting self-beliefs.
  • Increase peace of mind, restfulness, calmness, and instill a sense of well-being.
  • Enhance psychic/paranormal abilities!
  • Optimize your personal evolvement, achieve optimal health!
  • Increase energy and vitality, overall balance, slow/reverse the effects of aging!




Is KH safe and effective for animals?

Yes, completely. In fact animals seem to take to this kind of energy-information very easily, seem to enjoy it and appear to benefit from it as much, if not more than people do.



Can KH be done remotely ("long-distance")?

Absolutely. It is theoretically just as effectively done "long distance" as it is live. The reason why is because KH is primarily an information-based modality, rather than being primarily energy-based. Information transmission and reception are not restricted to the four dimensions of space-time (whereas we usually conceive of energy as limited by space-time).

It is independent of dimensionality - meaning that KH spans all dimensions including the 10-12 dimensions of superstring theory in physics. Thus distance (3D) is irrelevant. KH can work on someone halfway around the world! KK is most effectively performed "live."



Is this going to brainwash me, alter my personality, or take over my mind?

No, not at all. That would be impossible even if intended, which it is not. KH is a system whose very foundation is based on the sovereign Divinity of each individual as a totally unique aspect of our Creator. There are no hidden or nefarious agendas in KH! It is not intended to "convert" anyone, make anyone do or become something they don't wish to, take over their mind, or even to change anyone.

It is something that you, the client, choose for yourself and the entire process is under your complete and total command - fully assumeable by you and no one else, not even the practitioner! KH can only do for you what you intend for it to do and no more or less than that.

Therein lies an amazing reality because it indicates that with the assistance of your facilitator, you can call forth and actualize anything you intend and desire for yourself. KH fully holds the potential of that for you - and therein lies its power. Most people for various reasons cannot "handle" the responsibility that the judicious exercise of such power entails, and therefore, often unconsciously, they simply do not assume that responsibility.

They in turn fail to utilize this inherent power within them for transformative change in their lives. Often, just agreeing to experience a session or two can "get one over the hump" in assuming this Divine gift of transformation. One of my clients "Joan" called for and experienced this - a kind of total rebirth of herself (click here to learn more).



Is this medicine, medical practice, or intended to be a substitute for medical treatment?

Not at all. KH is not a form of allopathic medicine, medical practice, or medical treatment and is not intended as such. KH should never be used as a replacement for medical care or instead of regular medical checkups. Always consult your physician for any medical conditions you may have. I am neither a medical practitioner (physician) nor a therapist of any kind (if you feel you are in need of general psychotherapy services please contact Ms. Stephanie Brandt, LPC, via email or call 713 461-6662 (press 1) to schedule an appointment).

I do not practice any form of medicine or therapy of any kind! KH is a form of consultation with the client or coaching. That being said, KH is a form of integrated holistic energy "medicine" that can significantly enhance your health! In other words it can greatly complement your medical care, e.g., speed up your recovery from illness, or improve prevention.

There have been a number of "miraculous" spontaneous remissions/cures of various medical conditions reported following such (related healing modality) sessions and I have personally achieved very good results with my clients using KH. It has been used successfully on individuals for whom the medical community has not been able to offer further help.

KH is a form of communication/consultation between practitioner and client to facilitate their own healing, personal well-being, and above all, personal development-evolvement.



KH and its relationship to other modalities

There are many different modalities of energy-based healings that exist today, in fact we are seeing a resurgence of ancient time-tested techniques, outgrowths of them and possibly even new forms of healing work - including some which are marketed as brand new but are in fact repackaged/reconstituted embodiments of perennial methods and wisdom. They all have things in common and differences as well, and they all have their advantages and disadvantages relative to the individual who considers making personal use of one or other.

When it comes to healing, one size does not fit all, "different strokes for different folks" as is said. We are all traveling a uniquely personal evolutionary path. While KH can potentially benefit every human in my view, it is not appropriate for every individual at any particular time. Nor is any other modality. Others may be more appropriate for one person and not for some others. In my experience and from the perspective of Kabbalah - all healing is self-healing in "concert" with Spirit.

A so-called healer cannot truly heal another, yet one may assist or facilitate another on their healing journey. This is the essential and nonexclusive domain of Kabbalah and fundamentally what it has always been about in a way that transcends time and space. The capacity for an individual to heal is an innate Spiritual gift - one that is readily available to every human within themself and cannot be found outside of them. By our deliberate choice and allowance to heal we access this gift and put it to work for us - unleashing the power of limitless health in the process.

From time to time many of us make an enlightened, "full frontal" choice to seek assistance from a healing practitioner to help us do just that - manifest our innate self-healing, self-rejuvenating energies to sustain and evolve ourselves. For some, just making that choice moves us further along the healing path. Who and what we place our trust in is important. The essential message is: Consumer beware!

My advice would be to ask good questions and make sure you get all your questions answered. First, have a good sense of yourself, what you are looking for and what you feel you need. What type of practitioner works for you - what personality traits might enhance/detract from your personal objectives and healing experience? Use your own discernment as a sovereign and Divine human! The process of giving consideration to these points will in itself promote your self-healing. If a healing or health practitioner of any kind does not answer all your questions would you still be comfortable with their assistance?

Because healing is the personal birthright of every individual, ask yourself if you want to partake of a modality that claims "ours is the best for everyone." Since healing is Spirit's gift to all of humanity, are you comfortable seeking assistance from an organization that copyrights/trademarks/patents their approach and must control the entire process from start to finish? - "ours is the right way and only we can do it/teach it. It's our way, or the highway."?

This is also a subtle form of misrepresentation since it's likely "their way" was effectively appropriated from Spirit who gifted it to all of humanity in the first place. In other words they are hoarding and attempting to acquire, possess and "own" something that belongs equally to all of us. So my advice: look very carefully at the developers/originators of the modality, understand their background, how/through whom they received the materials. Do they attribute proper and appropriate credit to those from whom they received the information? How do they conduct business? How do they treat clients as well as those who volunteer and work for them?

Are they holding and controlling the materials for the purposes of making huge amounts of money for themselves "on the backs" of their clients? There is nothing wrong with making money and being a successful healing facilitator business-wise. But to me there is something fishy about an organization that makes unsubstantiated claims, misrepresents itself as the creator or originator of a "brand new" system, or fails to give credit to not only Source but to others from whom the materials may have been originally channeled via Source, angelic entities, etc.

Kabbalah and KH are Spiritual gifts that belong to all of humanity - they are our legacy and part of all of us. There are no trademarks or copyrights that one should be asked to pay royalties for to partake of KH. We are in a time now where the energies are changing rapidly in the direction of an opening up to ever-increasing levels of "consciousness awareness." My experience tells me that Kabbalah and KH will continue to reside at the forefront of this paradigm shift. By its very nature as expansive, KH continues to evolve to whole new levels with respect to its effectiveness, as my client's testimonials indicate.

KH provides, in addition, an unprecedented opening up of "you to You" which based on my experience, has a much deeper and more profound effect on the totality of the client. KH incorporates specific and unique tools from Kabbalah in the form of prayers, visualizations, counseling, meditations and energy movement. With KH one has the opportunity to "plug in" directly to Source within. This is like taking an allowable and accessible shortcut to one's destination rather than choosing the long and difficult road. It requires a commitment - a choice, and the willingness on the part of the client to take responsibility for self as well.



What is your background and why did you, an internationally recognized scientist, become a practitioner and researcher of KH?

I am a trained physicist (B.S.) and biomedical engineer (M.S. and Ph.D.) with over 20 years of research experience studying the workings of the human brain/mind and known for pioneering applications of computational science in biomedical research. I have been involved in research in diverse areas such as cosmology and astrophysics, neuroscience, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, immunology, developmental pediatrics, and others.

I have authored or co-authored over 70 peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals in my areas of research. I have made numerous presentations locally, nationally, and overseas in these areas. I achieved tenure from a local medical school and serve as a faculty researcher and professor in the Texas Medical Center.

I am currently involved in four largescale, government-sponsored research projects involving brain imaging in children with various neuropsychiatric disorders (such as autism, spina bifida, and traumatic brain injury). I have a great interest in the human dimensions of healing and how to facilitate and speed up the healing process.

I have been a student and "experiencer" of Kabbalah for 9 years now (teacher of it as well) and have been working to establish linkages between science (particularly biomedical) and spirituality for many years. I also received training (Levels I, II, and III) in Reconnective Healing (RH) and The Reconnection - powerful and effective energy-based modalities brought forth by a chiropractor Eric Pearl - with clear connections to Kabbalah and Judaic symbolism (I presented four times about these ties at two consecutive annual meetings of Dr. Pearl's organization by his personal invitation).

I do this work because I am very interested in helping people achieve maximum well-being in their lives. I also feel that it is important that biomedical scientists - those who presumably understand a great deal about health and healing as a result of being on the "frontlines" of research - do this work because of their unique, extensive biomedical training and experience.

After all, wouldn't you want an experienced and knowledgeable professional health scientist working with you to assist in your healing and body-mind-Spirit evolution?

I personally would not settle for anything less when it comes to who I would trust for those needs! Click here for a detailed summary of my background.



Have there been any scientific studies of KH?

There have been a few studies of related modalities but nothing specific about KH that I am aware of. I am presently conducting my own research by cataloging case studies of my clients. I have made numerous presentations about the scientific bases of KH. Much of this material is presented on this website in articles and downloadable lecture and workshop recordings.

Click here to download and listen to these free recordings. I would love to hear what you think of them. Feel free to contact me anytime. You can expect a personal response usually within 12 to 24 hours.



How can I try KH?

Very easily! Simply contact me for an appointment via email or call me at 713 461-6662 (option 2). The first (live) session usually takes between 70 and 90 minutes. Subsequent sessions are 45 - 60 minutes long.

On your first visit you will be given a consent form to read and fill out - I will provide you with a copy and I will keep one for my records. You will then lie down on a massage table, close your eyes and simply "check out"! You need do nothing more - I will place my hand on your shoulder to let you know when the session is over.

I will then ask a few debriefing questions about anything you may have experienced or recalled during the session, and will record your experiences (anonymously of course and with your full privacy respected). That's all there is to it!



What do you charge for KH sessions?

I offer KH sessions on a voluntary donation basis with a suggested minimum of $96 per 60 minutes ($24 per 15 minutes). Everyone's ability to donate is different. Some may offer more, some less. I believe no one should be denied the opportunity to experience KH and I turn no one away who earnestly desires to experience it. This donation policy is similar to a sliding scale based on financial need (e.g., senior citizens, students, lack of financial resources). Donations may be made by cash, personal check or by PayPal through my website. As KH is not medical in nature, these sessions are not covered by health insurance companies, sorry!



Will you be offering trainings in how to do KH and KK?

Yes. I am offering weekend workshop trainings in both KH and KK. These workshops will enable you to perform these both on yourself and others - loved ones, friends, clients. As an added bonus there will be instruction in Kabbalah, Kabbalah Consciousness and their connections with science and biomedicine.

No advanced science training or education is necessary, just a willingness to be open, and an excitement to learn something that is special and privileged. These will be exciting, fun-filled weekends. Start your own business and become a healing facilitator of KK and KH! See more details here.

Contact us if you are interested in attending a full weekend workshop - one will be starting up soon. Pricing for each weekend training session will be very reasonable - competitive with other similar trainings. People should not have to pay "an arm and a leg" to learn how to do something that is already their birthright!
