The Hearts Laser Beam

Singing or humming holy music or niggunim during hitbodedut is an excellent way of opening our hearts. Such music may awaken hidden feelings or forgotten memories and may inspire a connection to Hashem. Alternatively, we can choose a certain passuk or verse from Chazal and repeatedly recite it with intense concentration. The holy words act as a laser beam, piercing our heart with emotion. For instance, repeating “Ribbono Shel Olam” or “Avinu Malkenu” over and over again may enhance our emotional bond with our Creator.

Feel and heal exercise of the day:

Put on a niggun, any niggun, hug yourself and gently sway back and forth while closing your eyes. Feel your heart elevate and soul sour beyond the room -> feel the closeness of Hashem in your life.

Moving Out

One reason why difficulties arise is to remind us of G-d’s presence and motivate us to change our ways. We should constantly view ourselves and our world as transient, as if we are moving to another home. Our reality is constantly changing and helping us to move forward. When you move to another house, your current home appears on the surface to be in utter chaos, confused and disorganized. However, we can view change as stressful, or we can view it as an exciting opportunity. We shouldn’t fall apart because of this move; it’s part of the renewal process and anticipated change.

It is important to remind ourselves that there is change in every growth process. Place your right hand on your forehead and place left hand parallel to the back of your head and repeat “I love myself for all that I have gone through” – breath in the energy of acceptance.

 

Shabbat is Coming – Like the World to Come

Some of the many similarities between Shabbat and the World to Come include:

• We prepare our bodies physically in a similar way as we do when we depart from this world – washed, nails trimmed and dressed in white.

• We cease to create, build or prepare on Shabbat. In the World to Come, we enjoy the fruits of the lifetime of work in this world.

• The nature of Shabbat is constant and eternal. The way things are at the onset of Shabbat remains the same throughout Shabbat, reflecting the elevated spiritual status of the soul when it has transitioned from this world to the next.

A sweet taste of the World to Come!

How can we judge?

Emuna empowers us to hope and trust in G-d when beset with misfortune. Though we may lack understanding of why we suffer, pain is not ‘senseless’.  Emuna enables us to accept the pain and know intrinsically that somehow, in some way our pain is necessary for our spiritual repair and growth. This awareness and inner faith should help steer us away from assessing our difficulties and judging whether they are good or bad.

Infuse your thoughts with a teaching of Rebbe Nachman ztk’l -> Accepting suffering with love is like bringing a sacrifice.

 

Feeling Secure

We are instructed to serve G-d out of Emuna and Bitachon – clear knowledge that G-d is always with us and steadfast trust that helps us act on that security. Doubts are insidious and often interrupt emuna growth. They may arise out of uncertainty over G-d’s ability to help, or fear of something we believe is greater and more powerful than G-d.

Feel & heal exercise of the day

Gently press the indented area between top lip and nose while taking three deep breaths and say “I fully trust in G-d. I am never alone. He is always taking care of me.”

 

There is a reason

The Chofetz Chaim ztk’l teaches that we are brought down into this world for the sole purpose of rectifying the world through recognition and acceptance of G-d as the Creator. It is called a clarity of ’Oneness.’ Emuna enables us to dismiss all doubts about G-d’s existence and the fact that everything that happens to us is for a reason and is for our best.

Feel & heal exercise of the day

Give yourself an Emuna hug as you say out loud “I have emuna shleimah that all that G-d does is for the very best”

Shabbat is coming – Relax

All of our week should serve Shabbat. Shabbat should be an intimate meeting with G-d, without the distraction of material temptation. If we rearrange the letters of Shabbat, we can spell ‘teshev’ (return). Shabbat represents a return to the perfect state – a unity of spirit that replaces the fragmentation of the workweek.

Shabbat is a day where we sit ‘shev’. Whereas the six days are a state of ‘becoming’, Shabbat is a day of ‘being’. The idea of sitting relates to a state of rest – a break in the constant struggle to balance the spiritual and physical aspects of life.

He Never Leaves

When we experiences challenges – such as marriage problems, illness or problems with children – we need to remind ourselves of G-d’s loving Presence that remains with us always. It is vital to avoid blaming others or ourselves for these challenges, since this blame drags us back into Galut (exile). Though something may appear to be going wrong, we must have emuna that it is perfectly in sync with G-d’s Divine calculations. We are all traveling on a path to geula (redemption). Let’s allow the realization of the future gila (joy) we will all experience in geula fuel our current state of happiness now!

Feel & heal exercise of the day

Focus a few minutes on the idea that life is a process – an ever-changing road we travel on and at any given moment it can change B’H only for the better!

Geula Time

Geula is an unfolding of events leading to the revelation of the presence of Hashem. Geula is related to the word “giluy” which means revelation. The Malbim ztk’l teaches when the redemption arrives we will all be in a state of “gila” (happiness) – a place of renewed happiness that we have never experienced before. This joy will come as a result of discovering that Hashem has always been in our lives and that His love is everlasting.

Feel & heal exercise of the day

Spend a few moments thinking about a time when you discovered a new aspect to an incident or of a person that brought you a sense of joy.

What arises?

As negative feelings arise the distance between G-d and us widens.  G-d is our shadow; as we respond to Him He in turn reacts back.  Hence, it is essential to be true with ourselves, talk with honesty to G-d and use the mode of communication called Tefillah as an opportunity to ‘clear the air’ and make peace with our Creator.

Feel & heal exercise of the day

Spend a few moments discussing one issue with G-d that causes you anguish. Begin the process of letting go.
