Turning Darkness into Light “ALL THOSE WHO CHASE HER CATCH UP TO HER BETWEEN THE STRAITS’’ [Jeremiah /Lamentations] ****The Chasidic masters teach us that we can catch up to the greatest divine Light in these dark days….. Tonight we enter a new Time zone…… we enter in to the 3 weeks from the 17th of Tamuz until the 9th of Av [the period containing both the darkest darkness and the potentially brightest light]…. ..Inside of the external revealed calamity and darkness we encounter within and without ourselves, there hides an internal hidden salvation and light, the likes of which, we personally, and the world have yet to witness .... May we be worthy to elicit the Infinite Hidden light from inside of all of this darkness....Please accept the following Healing Approaches---practical ways of eliciting the great light that hides inside the darkness; TURNING DARKNESS INTO LIGHT HEALING APPROACHES 1. MELT THE DARKNESS HEALING [‘…..Lo tira mipachad Layla/ Don’t be afraid of the fear of the night…..’] Collect all of your negativities one by one into a big wax ball …..fill yourself up with light—the light of trusting in Hashem to come through for you and loving and being loved by Hashem and in knowing that hiding inside of the pain is Hashem , and when you find Him there, the pain disappears….gather all this collected and concentrated light into an imaginary vessel and direct this light at the big wax ball of darkness ….keep the light shining on the wax ball until you see and feel that you’ve melted away all of the darkness…..notice afterwards the experiential as well as the real life effect….. 2. FREEDOM FROM WORRY AND NEGATIVITY HEALING [‘…….Hashleich al Hashem yehavcha/ Toss up to Hashem your burden…’] Bring up from the subconscious to a conscious state, any negativity that you feel or have in your life….identify the 2 main sources of your bad feeling—the need to control and/or the need to get approval ….send up these inner feelings on a cloud to Hashem –for Him to take care of ….feel the experience of mind freedom and being worry free that you enjoy after doing this exercise and the cumulative effect that you gain after doing this repeatedly….also feel how the more that you do this , the more that you free your mind up to encounter your challenges with genuine creativity and innovation…. 3. REFRAME AND ELEVATE HEALING [‘…..Hamagbiah Shefalim/He raises up the fallen……] Find a trait or part of your personality that would be considered troublesome or fallen or damaging …..look deeply into your inner motivating factor ….reframe this motivation into a positive direction….for example, uplift the trait of self destructive lust to becoming a passion for doing goodness or G-d connection or loving your neighbor….or reframe arrogance into being holy pride for taking a stand on doing all that is good and right or raise up obnoxious skepticism to becoming holy 4. G-D DIALOGUE HEALING [‘…….Hashem Sefatai Tiftach/Hashem, open up my lips…’] Write a letter to Hashem expressing your problems and your blocks…etc….and then write back to yourself, playing the role of G-d , and directing and guiding you in a way that you think He would….carry out ‘G-d’s advice’ and report back to him and ask what’s next and keep up this dialogue as much as you can….notice the inner knowing that you plug in to in playing the role of G-d, and notice the breakthroughs that you ultimately achieve …. 5. INNER STRONG POINT MESHING HEALING [‘….Veyachaid levaveinu/and unite our hearts….] Identify a weak area of your life….search for a part of your life that is strong—a strong point [if possible, a point that is in the same realm , yet is the opposite of the weak point]….now mesh the two traits together….do this energetically by simply meditating on how the strong trait comes to empower the weak one….do this also practically by finding a way to apply the strong point right in the very midst of the weak one….for example, if you are very self conscious about speaking in public, and you have a strong point of connecting with people 1 on 1—then when you next speak in public, focus all your attention on just one special person…. 6. PERFECT AS IS HEALING [‘…Ain ra yoreid min haShamayim/Evil doesn’t come from G-d] Repeat the phrase, ‘Perfect as is’ every 15 to 20 seconds repeatedly…..Allow your mind to wrap itself around all the imperfections and difficulties in your life….Sweeten all of these thoughts by accepting that they are personally sent to you from ABOVE by Hashem [and therefore have no intrinsic negativity] at this particular time , place and manner---because Hashem feels that it’s the best possible thing for you…..trust that Hashem has guided you and helped you overcome similar challenges in the past---so too now….. 7. LOWER SOUL INTEGRATION HEALING [‘…..Bkhol levavecha/with all of your hearts…..’] Connect with that part of yourself that you normally tend to repress ---the ‘shadow’ part—the part that tends to sabotage your efforts, the more that you try to repress it---the part of you that is usually looking to be ‘done’ with responsibilities and to have fun [and a host of other questionable traits—not including those of the yaitzer hara\ the evil inclination driving you to go against Hashem—that’s not part of this approach] …..rather than continuing to repress it,integrate it…do this in any one of several ways---make a deal with it—win win---you give it it’s free reign as long as it does you no damage, or you replace it’s fallen traits from being destructive, to being helpful and empowering…..notice how the more that you positively integrate this lower part of your self, the more energized and peaceful do you feel…… 8. HELPLESS LIBERATION HEALING [‘…….Hoshiainu V’nivasheia/save us and we will be saved….’] Express to Hashem all of the efforts that you have made to overcome a certain problem….keep going until you find that you’ve done everything you could and the problem is still there….at this point , experience your helplessness and in a very emotional way, scream out to Hashem, ‘I can’t do it anymore, Hashem—please do it for me’….follow up your session by processing how you feel now [usually realizing and giving over to Hashem your helplessness is a very healing and liberating feeling] and how this exercise affects your life Providentially [I’ve found that prayers are answered doing this, more than any other practice] as well is the effect it has on you long term [I’ve found that even the most insensitive and cold people become soft-hearted and loving doing this consistently over a period of time]…. 9. SEEING WITH THE EYES OF G-D HEALING [‘…..Lecha Hashem hagedula vhagevura/yours Hashem is the greatness and the might….’] See the challenge that you or others are going through as being one that is only problematic when you see it from the narrow perspective of the present, but just Hashem represents past, present and future all at the same time [He Was , Is and Will be]—so too when seeing with the eyes of G-d….whatever problem you or others face, there’s a past history to it that makes it understandable and even elicits empathy and compassion….and when you add to that the ultimate future rectification, healing and perfection that you or they are destined for—and you bring that into the here and now, then whatever problem exists now melts away… 10. MICROCOSMIC HEALING [‘..Bishvilli Nivra Haolam/For me, the world was created..’] Realize that all that you see inside of yourself AND outside of yourself is a reflection of YOU ……your thoughts and history and intentions and much more, figure in to these manifestations---based also on the fact that you are created as a microcosmic being –and all that is outside you, is also inside of you, also as a result of all of us being interconnected and therefore responsible for eachother’s wellbeing…..the more responsibility that you take for all that you encounter as being your own creation [especially that which you feel strongly about—positively or negatively], the more you will be able to heal the situation….take responsibility for what you encounter—as being somehow caused by you and then ‘clean’ or heal the situation by saying I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you and I love you repeatedly….keep doing this, until you feel peace of mind….afterwards, notice how your healing has shifted reality inside and outside of yourself [****note—part of what I bring here is based on an ancient Hawaiian healing strategy called Hooponopono---but the connections to mystical Judaism are unmistakeable…] 11. CO-CREATING HEALING [‘…Naase Adam Btzalmeinu/Let us make human in our image…’] Declare or create a projected reality—a very different scenario than your present blocked up one….realize that your declaration has the power to manifest---it’s your birthright, being that you are Created in the Image of Hashem, and therefore are given the G-dly power of creating…..with clear and powerful Emuna and intention—watch how Hashem makes the reality manifest—in His own time and way—possibly with your inspired assistance [if you choose to assist] , but mainly on His own, with you out of the way…..out of His way….. 12. WAITING FOR THE RIGHT TIME HEALING [’…. Ana Atid Lalededt/I will give birth….’] Realize that when you are in a constricted mindstate that you are able to wait it out and simply do nothing at all…..rather than jumping in and arguing or making a decision or acting in any other way upon your present instinct—which is based on a corrupt mindstate, and will inevitably lead to negative results-----just wait until your mindstate will be expanded ---and then act…. 13. IMPACT TRANSFORMATION HEALING [’..Libi Challal Bkirbi/My heart is void inside of me..’] Experience the negative emotional impact of your present ‘story’ or ‘life coping recipe’ so vividly, that you have no choice but to throw it away……allow a new healthy recipe to be born ---ie…automatically be drawn down from ABOVE to fill the void that’s left in the place of the old recipe’s way of doing things [without you doing virtually any planning at all]…. Blessings, yitzchak
