Torah: Healing Sun Energy & Meditation
Rabbi Eliezer taught that the ‘Shechinah’/ Feminine Divine Presence rests above one’s head at all times. In the Temple Period, Kabbalists would meditate on this light hovering above them as a midnight-blue glow ( Sefer Chareidim, Chapter 3).
Sit quietly and invite all of your presence here and now. Sense the space above the crown of your head, visualizing a glow of blue light. If you cannot feel this presence, gaze upwards and humbly ask for the light of the Shechinah to present herself to you. Smile at this vibrating light.
What area of your body or life needs healing? Invite the Shechinah’s light there.
Angels according to Torah & Kabbalistic thought. Create one with me!
We welcome the new moon of Iyar, the month of Healing, with an inward-focused slow flow on our mat. Jenna guides us to invite in the Ziv Ha Olam/ The Radiance of the World into our breath and bodies. Iyyar is unique in that the counting of the Omer spans the entire month, each day an open slate for healing and spiritual progress. We’ll replenish and restore the body part of the month, the kidneys, otherwise known as the “engine of chi/life force” or the “great purifier”. As King David proclaims in Tehillim, “At night, my kidneys advise me”.
Following the flow you’ll have the opportunity to practice a temple-ancient custom of circling the Bima (in this case, our yoga mats) 7 times for healing. Each circle, we’ll rectify one of the 7 emotional Sefirot together.
The acronym for Iyyar is, “Ani Hashem Rofecha”/ I am G-d Your Healer. Let’s welcome the month together by tuning in the natural healing energy that is infused in this special , sacred month.
Suggested props include 2 blocks or pillows, and a meditation bell
