THE BIG IDEA

According to this week’s Torah energy,  blessing is in the air. Take advantage of the intergenerational transfer of spiritual energy and infuse your soul’s purpose with a huge dose of power and strength. 

Yitzchak, (born into the Abrahamic spiritual fortune), and his wife Rivka, (born into a world of deceitful idol worshippers), brought two rivaling energies into the world in the same instant. Pay attention to places within you that, like ancestral uncle Esau, associate blessings exclusively with material abundance and pleasures, feels entitled to receive things, or might even scorn the spiritual assignment of Abraham and Sarah’s offspring. Shift your attention to the quiet places of purity and spiritual aspiration within that, like great great great… grandfather Jacob, might need a direct push and clear guidance in order to activate the blessing within the most sacred and mysterious parts of your life.

One important thing to remember… this week’s powerful energy is unlocked by honoring your parents. Without respecting the intuitive wisdom and guidance of his mother, Jacob wouldn’t have advanced to new spiritual heights, and even when there was no blessing left to give, Esau’s respect and love for his father pulled another layer of blessing into the world.

This shabbat do your best to find the deepest of respect for your parents — and the real (and often hidden) riches they pass on in the world.
