Books by Eugenia Koukounas

When the author of Searching for Grace realized she needed to face her fears about the Covid-19 pandemic, she decided to create a scroll fifteen inches by thirty feet exploring the Hebrew alphabet, and she dedicated this work as a prayer in action for those who needed prayers during this time. This book offers one aspect of that scroll-the Zohar story of God deciding which of the twenty-two letters will be chosen to initiate the creation of the world. The story appears in Psalm 119, which lists eight verses for every letter of the Hebrew alphabet, as well as some of the energetic qualities that each letter expresses.  The author hopes to remind us that the world remains beautiful even in such troubling times.

This concise exploration of the ways in which Kabbalah, the Medicine Wheel, and Taiji have enabled the author to find—through sustained devotional practice—her own path to wholeness offers tools for successfully pursuing any path to wholeness.  Organized around the kabbalistic Tree of Life, the shamanic Medicine Wheel, and the Taoist principles behind Taiji, the book describes in intimate detail how the author gradually overcame her own doubts, insecurities, and resistances.
