THE HEALING BREATH Body-Based Meditations on the Aramaic Beatitudes

In the Aramaic language that Jesus spoke, there was meaning in the Beatitudes (the biblical sayings that start with "Blessed are the. . . ") that one won't find in the politically shaped words of the King James version. To Jews in that region, God was less a gray-haired man than a unity in the world, a pervasive higher power that one trusted and which was manifested through our breathing, vibrating body as well as our spirit. This masterfully done invitation to heal is a skillful blend of the author's welcoming voice, his musical presentations of the original words of Jesus, and his far-reaching interpretations of the words of our greatest teacher.
