Spiritual Healing

THE BIG IDEA

Don’t underestimate the power of the Iyar moon, and I’m not just saying that because it’s my birthday month, this moon is known to carry potent healing energy within it. Combined with the potential for personal refinement and self adjustment during the counting of the omer (the seven weeks between Passover and Shavuot),  the parsha energy around purification from spiritual contamination and sickness, AND the New Moon-on-Shabbat positive forcefield–-  this weekend is a very very favorable time to heal what hurts, and loosen the toxic grip of behavior patterns that are causing hurt in and around you. 

If you are feeling especially “marked” by 6 weeks of bombardment to your nervous system, trust your condition to be a sign of your spiritual status.  It is said that only those of a high spiritual level would get the mark of the spiritual sickness of Tzarat —- Trust that just as those with Tzarat had egos strong enough to carry the stigma of the sickness, and the honor a purification process that mirrors the initiation of the Kohen Gadol and his sons — with the power in this moon, you have the ability to restore your inner peace and sense of connected calm.

May this month bring deep healing and ease to everyone that needs it, and may we count our way to a Shavuot where we all feel ourselves to be an active part of a happier, healthier, holier, whole.
