ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A JOURNEY TO THE
I wish to thank my patients, students and trainees who helped me get acquainted with more and
more magical powers and imps, and touched me deeply time and time again with their ability
to muster the magical powers within them. Thank you for allowing me to accompany you in LAND OF IMPS
your courageous journey of development, self-realization and dealing with your own imps which
constantly try to hinder this development.
Discovering Magic Powers in the Soul Creatures' Land
Many thanks to the numerous teachers I have met along the way: children, adolescents who
struggle to make inner peace within their conflicted souls and adults who seek to listen to and
express their inner child - all who teach me to believe in the wonderful healing powers that lie
within every human soul each and every day.
My deepest gratitude goes to Shalom Kweller who succeeded, with his artful hands and creative
thinking, in transforming the soul creatures from an abstract idea into charming characters, filled
with humor and grace. He has taught me important lessons in the ability to transform emotional
pain into creativity, and has long supported my work, with collaborative thinking about each of the
imps and magical powers.
Thank you Sharon Maayan, for your partnership in this journey and for managing the practical and
technical part of the Soul Creatures' Land and the Land of Imps.
Thank you Sarah Kweller, for your support, your help and your idea for the cards' names.
Thank you Haim Grinberg for your sensitivity, your suggestions and guidance in the complex process
of the transition between languages.
Many thanks to all educators, teachers, parents and therapists who have
learned the language of the "Soul Creatures' Land" and continue to develop
it and pass it on to their patients and students. Your enthusiasm and
feedback encouraged me to write this book in order to make this language
accessible to other people and provide them with an easy and experiential
means of knowing and using it.
