Wake up!!!

Ner Mitzvah, Alter Rebbe

When a person contemplates how G dliness permeates all existence,
his soul will desire to become batel to G d
and he will desire to take an active role
in the mission G d has entrusted to man:
to transform the darkness of material existence to light.

Material existence is called darkness
because it is characterized by the concealment of G dliness,
which allows for the influence of kelipah to take hold…

Meditation

I set my intention
I lower my gaze
humbly
I ask Hashem to help me
Connect to Keter / crown

Will I reach to my keter as
as Moshe reached for his staff
To gracefully walk through this yam suf
To the other side

With Your rachamim
You enable me to
To choose!!

Stretch my arms
Upward
And stretch my legs
downward
At the same time
Feel the pulling of both sides

Keter
Reaching upward
Connecting to
Ratzon
Oneg
Emunah

Malchut
Facing down

Bring your focus to tiferet
Heart center / balance / harmony

mindful of the the nes
Of this moment
Of the heavy cloud
Kaveidut Lev
Heaviness of Heart
And the rising sun
with hitromemut Lev
Inspiration
Hitorerut / awakening

Mekabel the oneg on this connection
Al manat lhashpia
To share with others

I can do this
Knowing it is against my nature
My story
being with the dark thoughts
I will choose
To know I am collectively
A receptacle of all this energy
in order to create this new moment
Compose a New Song
Shira Chadasha

Humbly reaching up
gaze is downward
I am destined to greatness

The dichotomy of opposites
I am in Bina / Patience
Sovel Hafachim
And only then can I
support others to
cross to the other side
geula consciousness

not pushing or controlling or forcefully
trusting
the right time will come
bheisech hadaas

With this humble knowing
I am you daughter
You made me part of You
Our branches are intertwined
Knowing
 am made for this

Gleaning the netzutos
Of my dark stories
Of guilt, lack, abandonment
Now
bChasdei Hashem
accessing Keter / the endpoint
Of
Yichud
One-Nes

Being a channel
Shining my light
Brightly
Transforming fear to awe
Gathering the light from my soul root family
Reflective support
