Meditation & Kabala by Arie KAPLAN

"A lucid in-depth presentation of the meditative techniques and practices used by the ancient Kabbalists.
The Kabbalah is divided into three branches—the theoretical, the meditative, and the magical. While many books, both in Hebrew and English, have explored the theoretical Kabbalah, very little has been published regarding the meditative methods of the various schools of Kabbalah. Aryeh Kaplan’s landmark work, reveals the methodology of the ancient Kabbalists and stresses the meditative techniques that were essential to their discipline, In addition, Meditation and Kabbalah presents relevant portions of such meditative texts "

SEFER HAYETSIRA in theory & practice by Arie KAPLAN

Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan has translated the Sefer Yetzirah the oldest and most mysterious of all kabbalistic texts, and now brings its theoretical, meditative and magical implication to light.
When properly understood, the Sefer Yetzirah becomes the instruction manual for a very special type of meditation meant to strengthen concentration, and to aid the development of telekinetic and telepathic powers. The magical kabbalah is closely related to the meditative kabbalah, and uses various signs, incantations, and divine names by which initiates could influence or alter natural events. This translation includes the meditation in five dimensions, the transition from Binah to Chakhmah consciousness, the point of infinity, kabbalistic astrology, Ezekiel's vision according to the Sefer Yetzirah, and the mystery of the 231 gates.
This is the most complete work on the Sefer Yetzirah in English.

La vie du monde a venir d'Abraham Aboulafia
traduit par Georges Lahy

..Georges Lahy (who often writes under the Hebrew pen name Virya) approaches the text from a practical mystic perspective.He specializes in Gematria (Jewish numerology) and Kabbalistic meditation.His books don't just translate the words; they translate the meditative mechanics, heavily annotating the text so that a reader can actually comprehend how to perform the vocalized and breathing exercises Abulafia intended.
Lahy is not a traditional rabbinic authority recognized by Orthodox yeshivot. He operates in the realm of Western esotericism and independent Kabbalah research. However, because his understanding of Hebrew roots and Kabbalistic geometry is so advanced, Lahy's versions are generally considered superior in depth and commentary to the basic English equivalents.
