Finding cost-effective intuitive help
We can’t always afford one-on-one mentoring. The Spiritualist network can be a good alternative. It’s not a uniform group so you’ll need to explore options in your area. Below are some sites that list Spiritualist centres and groups in Australia and overseas:
Kabbalah & metaphysics
One can study Kabbalah in one of three ways – (1) in non-Jewish groups, (2) in Jewish lay-groups or (3) in rabbinically-led forums. All can offer value but I’ve found Jewish programs are more spiritually inclined.
- non-Jewish groups – e.g. the Theosophical Society, the Rosicrucian Order, Gnostic societies, Spiritualist centres (see above). These groups can offer interesting perspectives.
- lay forums in the Jewish system. Bnei Baruch offers classes and videos.
- rabbinically-led classes discuss Kabbalah more subtly. This, in Fran’s opinion, is where the fun is! Classes can run in or outside synagogues.
On the web, check out:
Chabad.org’s Kabbalah classes – www.chabad.org/kabbalah/

Spirituality as taught by Jewish systems
There are many ways to study spirituality. Psychic & Energy Work leans towards rabbinically-led forums. They often contain a subtle energetic bent and offer a few pathways based on gender and spiritual leaning.
For non-Jews who are monotheistic (i.e. believe in one G-d), Noahidism might appeal. A few websites help non-Jews become “righteous gentiles” – i.e. live as non-Jews who follow the laws of the Torah (Old Testament). They include asknoah.org, noahide.org, noahidenations.com.
Rabbi Eli Cohen in Sydney (chabad2000@gmail.com) helps non-Jews in their spiritual development and presents to non-Jewish groups on request.
Rabbi Yehoishophot Oliver is a great contact in the USA (rabbioliver@gmail.com).
Some Jewish forums also welcome non-Jews. Some are synagogue-based; others, not. There may be limits to what you can attend but help is usually offered in some way.
Understanding the background to you and your day
Sometimes, it helps to read – on top of any mentoring. They don’t always offer all one seeks but astrology and numerology can add a whole lot of meaning.
Great astrology websites: www.astro.com, www.astrologyzone.com, www.cainer.com, www.jessicaadams.com.
Chinese/Eastern astrology provides yet another edge. Theodora Lau is worth referring to – www.theodoralau.com/.
Fran often uses numerology but hasn’t researched what’s out there online. Notable authors include Juno Jordan and Faith Javane. Get in contact to request a chart or a reading.
Have you tried to focus?
“Focusing” helps people process things on energetic, emotional, mental, physical, intuitive and spiritual levels. It was developed by Dr Eugene T Gendlin and outlined in his book, Focusing (Bantam Books, 1981). There are a few versions available, as well as learning programs. Visit focusing.org to learn more.
A last word…
Wherever you are in your spiritual search and for whatever system you follow, remember to use your out-breath when you’re processing life or seeking divine guidance. Dare to release all mind and egoic self – yours and others’ – using out-breath (through mouth). It’s amazing what shifts and evolves when we release all that we hold.
All the very best.
