Most people don't live; they react. They confuse control for protection and insecurity for kindness. This leads to nonstop problems in life and relationships.
During Sefirat HaOmer, we are called to elevate ourselves beyond our programming and personal autopilot. We are to work through the emotional blurred lines that sabotage our potential and poison our relationships.
By understanding how the Sefirot express themselves in our lives and in our emotions, we can learn how to move past momentary "self-help" into lasting "self-mastery." We can dismantle the shadow trait (sitra achra) of each of the sefirot that manifests itself in our lives, and replace it with the balanced polarities required for a life of powerful presence, healthy Torah observance, and refined relationships.
The Core Polarities
-
Chesed | Care vs. Codependency Transform your giving to come from a place of depth, rather than a desperate need to be needed.
-
Gevura | Boundaries vs. Control Harness the internal strength to say “no” so that your “yes” is a real “yes”.
-
Tiferet | Self-Worth vs. Egoism Ground yourself in an inherent sense of infinite value without making life all about you.
-
Netzach | Assertiveness vs. Aggression Master the art of winning your battles without destroying the environment you're fighting for.
-
Hod | Agreeability vs. Insecurity Distinguish between genuine harmony and the "people-pleasing" that erodes your soul.
-
Yesod | Relationship vs. Entanglement Build connection based on conscious choice rather than emotional dependency.
-
Malchut | Vulnerability vs. Weakness Utilize the power of conscious openness and authenticity to live life to its fullest.
I am leading a 7-part course over Zoom on these topics during Sefirat HaOmer to help people upgrade their lives and relationships by making significant change in these areas.
It will also include a WhatsApp group to share practical tools and further the conversation.
And Yes, all Zoom meetings will iyH be recorded and accessible.
Stop being a passenger to your own personality. Master your Middos, so your Middos don't master you.
