As the daugh­ter of Holo­caust sur­vivors, Monique Illona wants noth­ing less than to do tikkun olam, to repair the world.” A Dual Path is found­ed on the inter­con­nect­ed­ness of the world we live in and the peo­ple who live in the world; it is found­ed on the prin­ci­ple that in order to repair and cre­ate a bet­ter world, we must focus on repair­ing our­selves and shap­ing our­selves into bet­ter peo­ple. Illona draws from her train­ing and expe­ri­ence as a ther­a­pist, teacher, and mas­sage pro­fes­sion­al to take the read­er on an odyssey into their inner work­ings, clear­ing emo­tion­al, phys­i­cal, and behav­ioral pat­terns and trans­form­ing the macro­cosm of the world through the micro­cosm of the indi­vid­ual. If you are tired of old habits you can nei­ther shake nor break, A Dual Path pro­vides the read­er with sec­u­lar prac­tices and exer­cis­es based on neu­ro­science, med­i­ta­tion, self-explo­ration, and body­work that invites you to expe­ri­ence life as both mean­ing­ful and sacred to tikkun olam!
