Madonna's New Chapter: The Queen of Pop Turns Kabbalah Teacher

Madonna has revealed her unusual new career choice as a Kabbalah teacher as she offered to teach fans about her 'spiritual journey'

MADONNA'S SPIRITUAL SIDE REVEALED: THE QUEEN OF POP TURNS KABBALAH TEACHER AND SHARES HER JOURNEY TO INNER PEACE

In a shocking move, Madonna, the 67-year-old Queen of Pop, has announced her latest career venture as a Kabbalah teacher. The singer, known for her chart-topping hits and provocative performances, is now offering fans the chance to join her on a spiritual journey through an online course.

The $30 (£22) "Mystical Studies of the Zohar" course, available exclusively on Kabbalah.com, promises to reveal ancient secrets and help participants accelerate their spiritual growth. But what inspired the iconic singer to trade in her microphone for a meditation cushion?

Madonna discovered Kabbalah in 1996 before welcoming her first child Lourdes Leon and has recently said it was a turning point in her life

According to sources close to Madonna, it all started in 1996 when she discovered Kabbalah while pregnant with her first child, Lourdes Leon. The mystical philosophy, which explores the symbolic and esoteric nature of God, creation, and the universe, has had a profound impact on the singer's life.

In a recent Instagram post, Madonna shared a video teaser for the course, where she revealed that she wants to "punish" people by humanizing them. "Whenever I'm having a hard time dealing with someone or something, and I think how I want to punish them," she explained, "I just think about this person was once a young child, they were beautiful... When I can see that, I can humanize them."

Madonna's long-time Kabbalah teacher, Eitan Yardeni, joined her in the video, emphasizing the importance of forgiveness and compassion. "The power of forgiveness is one of the greatest gifts we have," he said. "It allows us to release negative energies and connect with others on a deeper level."

But what sets Madonna's course apart from other spiritual offerings? For starters, the profits from the subscription-based model support others accessing Kabbalah, ensuring that the teachings are available to those who need them most.

So, why has Madonna decided to share her spiritual journey with the world? In an exclusive interview on Jay Shetty's "On Purpose" podcast, she opened up about her personal struggles and how spirituality has sustained her through the ups and downs of life.

"I was once a slave or victim of other people's opinions of me," she confessed. "But over time, I've learned to embrace my individuality and not 'fit in' with societal norms." Instead, Madonna emphasizes the importance of radical acceptance – accepting what is happening to you as meant to happen – and having humility.

When asked about her spiritual practices, Madonna candidly shared that success is only achieved through a deep connection with one's own spirituality. "You need to be spiritual to be successful," she emphasized. "Success is having a spiritual life, period."

Madonna's appearance on the podcast marks her first-ever interview of its kind, and fans are eagerly awaiting more insights into her spiritual journey.

So, what does this mean for Madonna's career? Will she trade in her sequined outfits for a simple white robe and become a full-time Kabbalah teacher? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – the Queen of Pop has always been known for pushing boundaries and challenging norms.
