Explore, Cultivate & Harmonize the 12 Tribes Within!
1 Tishrei-Ephraim-Lamed-Truth
New beginnings! Ephraim, the son of Yoseph is the diplomat within. How do we live our truth while making space for others? Peace expresses the ultimate truth.
2 Cheshvon-Nun-Yosef/Menashe-love
Honoring inner and outer conflict allows us to forgive and love. Yosef was able to forgive his brothers for selling him to slavery. He merited to build a family, attain leadership and save his entire family from the famine.
3 Kislev-Benyamin- Samech-eternity
Time to purify our visions with the lights of Chanukah. Are they fulfilling ego desires or are they merging with the eternal vision of Redemption for all of Creation?
4 Teves-Dan-Ayin-wisdom
How can we bring the ultimate eternal vision of Redemption for the entire world into our reality now? With wisdom we build vessels to contain Your light.
5 Shevat-Asher-Tzaddik-spiritual pleasure
How can we nourish ourselves the best way possible? Now, like the tzaddikim all of our orfices; eyes, ears, nose and mouth are guarded. We absorb only that which nurtures our eternal visions.
6 Adar-Naftali-Kuf-Will
When all is said and done Your Will is the deciding factor. Like the deer of Naftali I gracefully submit to what is, in spite of all of my efforts. This is a key to true happiness.
7 Nissan-Yehuda-Hei- Faith
With total faith I wear the royal crown. I put my right foot forward and with the roar of a lioness I hear my soul speak its purpose for being in this world. With courage I walk through life with authenticity.
8 Iyar-Yissachar-Vav-Understanding
Listening within, I clarify the discrepancy between who I am now and my greatest potential. I absorb the light of my crown throughout my entire being. I reclaim full dimensionality now, in this lifetime.
9 Sivan-Zevulun-Zayin-Sincerity
This month we receive the Torah; the choreography of the dance of life. I discover the exhilirating cosmic rythmn of Your law; a Divine gift of love for the sake of my true freedom.
10 Tammuz-Reuven-Chet-Awe
I’ve stumbled down this path before and I don’t want to repeat this pattern. This month you give me the insight and strength to make a better choice. This time I will live the truth of my Divine soul.
11 Av-Shimon-Tes-Humility
With humility I listen to the inner voices of my immaturity. I tolerate the cacophony, trusting that the unique melody of my soul will be revealed. I am ready to rebuild whatever I have destroyed.
12 Elul-Gad Yud-mercy
I re-gather the sparks of my soul that I lost in messy interactions. Gad within reclaims my borders as I ask for forgiveness and forgive. When we are merciful we are judged with mercy.
