Kabbalism is a spiritual trend. It is not a religion on its own. It is the mystical part of Judaism.
And the ones who are dishing out all over the place are just out to make a buck. However, I don't see anything wrong with it overall, as it's simply a trendy fad and method taught generically to supposedly deal with the spiritual side of life, regardless of one's religious affiliation.
There is a tremendous amount of contradiction in saying one believes in what is supposedly Kabbalah, while not being Jewish.
I view it as no different than the trend in major corporations nowdays to attend Indian guru and swahmi get-togethers for various management disciplines. Will it help? Could be. Could be not.
