Barbara Brodsky is founder and head dharma teacher of the Deep
Spring Center for Meditation and Spiritual Inquiry, an interfaith
center that offers Vipassana meditation and Tibetan dzogchen
teachings, which stress the nondual nature of existence. Brodsky
has been practicing meditation since 1960 and teaching since 1989.
She is also a member of the Ann Arbor Friends Meeting and an active
participant in the Quaker community. Since becoming totally deaf in
1972 at the age of 29, she has sought a deeper understanding of
healing and wholeness. Barbara is also the channel for the spirit
Aaron, and with him offers personal spiritual direction sessions
and group workshops.
Brodsky was featured in two episodes of the NPR radio show This
American Life and was one of the featured teachers in the
internationally acclaimed documentary One- The Movie (2005)
directed by Ward Powers. Her writing has been included in the
anthologies Being Bodies- Buddhist Women on the Paradox of
Embodiment and Buddhist Acts of Compassion, and in numerous
magazines and journals.
Brodsky lives in Ann Arbor, MI.
"As I go through Aaron's material, I am struck by its
sophistication and its lightness, its clarity and its beauty."
--Ram Dass, author of Be Here Now and Still Here "Barbara Brodsky
shares her amazing journey, learning from the most powerful healers
how her own suffering could transform her into a vehicle for
healing countless others. Cosmic Healing reveals the essential
elements of true healing and inspires us to cultivate the love,
light, and faith that are required."
--James Baraz, coauthor of Awakening Joy "The voice of Aaron is a
vessel of wisdom, its current direct from the awakened heart-mind.
Read this book--it will give you fresh understanding and faith in
the essence of dharma, the truth of your own luminous, loving
being."
--Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance "Clear dharma; living
nonduality."
--Lama Surya Das, author of Awakening the Buddha Within "Cosmic
Healing tells the story of a powerful spiritual journey.
Interweaving teachings and experiences from several traditions,
Barbara Brodsky opens us to new dimensions of understanding and
healing. It's a fascinating and illuminating read."
--Joseph Goldstein, author of One Dharma and A Heart Full of Peace
"I have found Aaron to be ever kind, compassionate, and wise, his
teachings both gentle and profound. Over the years, my
conversations with Aaron have been a source of inspiration and
illumination, always pointing to unveiling, and trusting, the
wisdom within."
--Aura Glaser, PhD, clinical psychologist, cofounder of Jewel
Heart, and author of A Call to Compassion: Bringing Buddhist
Practices of the Heart into the Soul of Psychology "Barbara is
devoted in her service and teachings and a pristine vehicle for
Aaron's essence, love, and profound wisdom. Thank you Aaron and
Barbara for birthing Cosmic Healing--the message and unconditional
love is palpable and will touch the souls of many."
--Heather Cumming, translator for John of God and coauthor of John
of God "There are many paths to enlightenment or union with God.
Barbara Brodsky's Cosmic Healing, better than any book I have read,
sets forth the path to enlightenment by means of physical and
emotional healing. Brodsky shows how resolutely dealing with
illness, whether serious or ordinary, can purify us emotionally and
spiritually unto the highest levels of the spiritual life. She also
includes a superb description of the various states and stages of
the spiritual path. Cosmic Healing is a great gift of love and
offers practical methods to bring us into a life of ever-new love
and bliss."
--Jim Marion, author of Putting on the Mind of Christ "Cosmic
Healing exemplifies storytelling as a deep form of healing.... Each
page brought me to a stop, to savor, to ponder, to feel. Barbara
unfolds a map of the spiritual journey which transcends any single
religion. Words fall short! I will be digesting this book for a
long time!"
--Haju Sunim, resident priest, Zen Buddhist Temple Ann Arbor "There
are three distinct adventures woven together beautifully in this
story. The first is the extraordinary courage, transparency, and
transformation into wholeness that has come through Barbara
Brodsky's personal contact with and application of liberating
teachings. The second is the in-depth exploration of the process of
healing itself. Lastly, this is a seminal work for anyone
interested in knowing more about the Casa of Dom Ignacio and the
entities associated with John of God.... I highly recommend this
book."
--Ajahn Thanasanti Bhikkhuni, Theravada Buddhist nun and founder of
the nonprofit Awakening Truth, dedicated to supporting a Bhikkhuni
training monastery for Buddhist nuns "Cosmic Healing ... is a rich
treasure trove for those who want to go deeper into healing and the
search for personal truth. Are you seeking for more? This book is
for you! I laughed, I cried, and I loved it!"
--Carla L. Rueckert, channel for The Ra Material and other books
"Cosmic Healing is a book that opens one's eyes to alternative ways
of looking at reality and living from one's own truth. Aaron speaks
of his teachings as being similar to a finger pointing to the moon
and not the moon itself. However, even his pointing is filled with
brilliant illumination."
--Matthew Flickstein, author of Swallowing the River Ganges and
Journey to the Center "What a wonderful work! If you have been
swept away by trauma, medical calamity, or life not being what you
expected it would be--read this book..... Use Barbara's map and you
will feel more secure in the steps of your own journey. May this
book reach many people who need the loving guidance she
offers."
--Emma Bragdon, PhD, director of the Foundation for Energy
Therapies and author of Spiritual Alliances and Kardec's Spiritism
"One woman's very personal account of her journey from our
collective human outlook on life to the awakening of her divine yet
human Self. ... This is definitely a page-turner book of the
highest degree. Fascinating reading!"
--Judith Coates, channel for Jeshua ben Joseph; editor, Jeshua, The
Personal Christ series "In this book, Barbara has generously shared
with her readers her personal journey. It is a journey of fear and
courage, learning and teaching, pain and healing, and most of all,
a journey of love....May the readers feel their hearts touched, as
I have, through Barbara's story and its healing medicine of
Love."
--Josie RavenWing, author of The Book of Miracles, A Season of
Eagles, and The Return of Spirit
