In this book Christopher L. Schilling offers a critique of this transformation. Schilling discusses problematic aspects of Jewish mindfulness meditation, and the relationship between Judaism and psychedelics, proceeding to explore the science behind these developments and the implications they have for Judaism.Palgrave pivot.Judaism and culturePsychology and religionJewish Cultural StudiesPsychology of Religion and SpiritualityJudaism and culture.Psychology and religion.Jewish Cultural Studies.Psychology of Religion and Spirituality.296.39296.09730905Schilling Christopher L.1983-1026795MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484039703321Zen Judaism2586099UNINA
