Private Sessions with Miriam:
Healing, Teaching, and Spiritual Mentoring
"Miriam is a path to the gifts of our soul to which we can return and refresh ourselves in our sometimes wearying journey."
-- Peter Yarrow, (of "Peter, Paul, and Mary"), May 27, 2006
Miriam offers private healing, teaching, and spiritual guidance sessions in person or over the phone. These sessions have become very popular with people around the country via the telephone and in person at retreats and workshops around the country. The sessions involve teachings, guided imagery, shamanic journeying, life issues guidance, and unblocking impediments to personal healing. When applicable, these sessions also involve teachings from the Jewish tradition that strengthen one's healing practice as well as personal growth, specifically for those who wish to delve more deeply into Kabbalistic and/or Shamanistic concepts and practices as defined by ancient Jewish sources.
Cost for the sessions whether in person or over the phone is $180 per hour (a minimum of one hour) for the actual session as well as for any time involved in research, correspondence, and other necessary pre-session requisites. For those confined to a medical facility,or who are homebound, Miriam could possibly meet with and work in their own setting. Additional compensation will then be calculated for travel time and expenses.
What is Shamanic Kabbalah?
Shamanic Kabbalah belongs to the ancient school of Jewish mysticism known as Kabbalah Ma'asee'yot, which translates as "practical kabbalah", a wisdom of channeling spiritual energies from the o'lam ha'nees'tar, or "universe of mystery" into our own world, o'lam ha'neeg'lah, or "universe of unfolding."
The Kabbalah is a spiritual science that focuses on the interactive dynamics between both worlds, between spirit and matter, soul and body. Much of what we are wrestling with in the known world can be helped or remedied by our understanding of what is happening simultaneously in our life in the unknown world, in the mystery realm of our self-essence.
Shamanic Kabbalah teaches us how to bridge the two realms so that we can draw support and clarity to issues we are dealing with, whether health, relationship, family, or difficult life choices. This lesser-known aspect of the Kabbalah -- only recently undergoing restoration from ancient and early-medieval Aramaic and Hebraic source texts and oral traditions -- incorporates a consciousness of the sacredness and spirit dimensions of the mineral world, the plant world, and the animal world for a deeper understanding of the human world and the human soul.
"In every human," it teaches, "is incorporated the powers of all the stones, plants, and animals, for when Creator said 'Let us make the human in our image', Creator was addressing all that had been created until that point, meaning all the stars, the mountains, the trees and grasses, and all the animals" (15th-century Rabbi Mosheh Cordovero). It is with the wisdom and rites of this rich body of practical and esoteric Jewish mysticism that these healing and mentoring sessions are implemented, accompanied with the rhythm of drum and the vibration of chant, as well as other sacred tools of ancient Jewish practice.
How Does A Session Work?
1. The session begins with you first telling me what it is you'd like us to work on -- physical, emotional, spiritual healing -- or what issues you would like some help around -- daily life challenges, major decisions, relationship and family issues, life journey direction, deeper learning etc.
2. Then I talk you through a meditation journey during which we will enter a place where we can observe together, as a team, important aspects of your life. Often, symbols, various images, might come up that guide us toward what it is you are to see, experience and /or know at that time.
3. During the session I lay my hands on you unless you are uncomfortable with touch -- in which case I move my hands over you -- while I work on you energetically. If what you need is renewed energy and or strength and would just like to lay back and receive healing, this is totally wonderful as well. I will work on you energetically with prayer, chant, instrumentation, and many other shamanistic and Kabbalistic tools.
4. I will always ask for you to tell me if anything feels uncomfortable as I can do any of these using different methods. I never guarantee anything as the healing process is a partnership between you and the Infinite One. I am a conduit. There are many factors involved. Sometimes healing or mentoring comes in layers and we may go to the next level for you. Sometimes exactly that which you came in to work on or to learn will be sufficiently addressed and you will feel a shift -- whether on the spot, or with time. And more often than not, whatever is blocking you gets loosened, sometimes even lifted completely.
5. When applicable, I will provide you with symbols, spiritual exercises, and/or a meditation to work with on your own after the session.

“Miriam Maron’s healing gifts have profoundly transformed my mind, body, and spirit! I have received healing of chronic immune system dysfunction and, more importantly, continued restoration of my soul. My experience with Miriam is that the healing intention of her chant, spoken word, and touch is infused with the wisdom of the Divine Mystery flowing through her. What I receive unfolds over time – after weeks and months – opening still wider and deeper my own healing process. She, too, engages me in my own healing – encouraging and guiding me with love and compassion, and most importantly – laughter and joy. My heart says that this woman is authentic – that she will be regarded years from now as one of the most important women healers and teachers of Kabbalah of our times. She has brought blessings and peace to the lives of many.”

“As a teacher and healer, Miriam is more than just a lantern in the darkness. She is the ferryman who carries you across the waters to new and distant shores.”

“Miriam Maron is a compassionate and richly skilled healer who brings the fullness of her presence to her work. She combines hands-on healing, guided visualization, prayer and sacred connection to open the flow of reintegration of body and soul. When I was facing major losses and an undiagnosed illness, Miriam helped me recover a deep sense of purpose which guides and sustains me. When I reflect on what Miriam offered me, the words ‘respect’, ‘caring’, ‘resourceful’, ‘courageous’ and ‘uniquely engaged’ come to mind."

“The work that I did with Miriam through the Jewish Shamanic Healing Training Program has been deeply transformative for me. I came away from each personal healing session with her with a renewed sense of connection between my ‘Rosh’ (head) and my ‘Shoresh’ (root). Images and sensations experienced in those sessions have remained with me and I continue to draw from their wisdom. Miriam is a role model for me as a healer and an educator. Her work brings into embodiment our ancient teachings. She has an incredible gift for finding the essence of our holy Hebrew phrases, translating them into movement and music that contributes to healing. Every time I came to the trainings, I eagerly anticipated the many new gifts of music and movement that I knew I'd receive. Miriam’s tremendous generosity of spirit as she does this work has profoundly influenced my own practice as a healer as I sing her tunes and teach her dances to others, spreading this love and light that I have received, out into the larger community. She has deeply touched me and I am proud to have her as my teacher.”

"My work with Miriam have enabled me to go deeper within myself and therefore has catapulted me into a new realm within my own healing practice. I have also had several healing sessions with her and they have allowed me to go to a much deeper place within myself where I was able to make some necessary internal shifts. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to study with such a learned, beautiful teacher."
