On this podcast with Noah Ben Shea:
The transformational state we're all in
Noah's background and where the inspiration for Jacob the Baker arose from
"don’t let the past kidnap your future"
Who is Jacob the baker in our world
The significance of a ladder
What is said and not said: Not only the words, but the silence between the words
"what isn't said between people is also heard."
Hebrew is made from 22 consonants, 10 vowels, and nothing more. It’s the nothing more that makes the difference.
Be silent
The breadth and depth in life
The Sabbath, which creates the notion of time. A pause between days to realize the sanctity in moments.
The best way to get where you're going is to be where you are
In gratitude find prayer, in prayer find faith, in faith find peace, in peace find gratitude.
Any Peace in life is its own blessing and any Blessing that does not bring you peace is no blessing
Repeating things to be grateful for
Life is a gift, prayer is a thank you note
Gratitude is the portal to prayer
Honor what you're doing and watch at it transforms.
Ride the horse in the direction its going.
Youre not expected to finish the work, but neither are you excused from it
Play the part not the result.
"Jacob says most of us aren't lacking information, we're lacking the character to act on the information at hand."

April 29, 2020 44: 3 ways to foster your life experience
This is from a virtual speech I gave on Sunday, April 26. I was invited to speak to the adult education committee at Congregation Shaar Hashalom synagogue in Clear Lake, Texas.

Even though it was delivered to the synagogue's adult committee, other individuals of all backgrounds were present to listen as this information is non-sectarian and beneficial to all.

https://findyourvoice.lpages.co/intro-course/
Show Notes:
Sahar's Background
Cognitive behavior and emotional intelligence
Our brain needs pen on paper journaling
Streams of consciousness. When you're so aware and analytical, you got to get out of your head

Black and white bob - think all or nothing
What Sahar means by one's voice
Our brain mapping happens 2x: when we're 7 and then again at 16

Listen to the voice that is most authentic to you

How to constructively listen to oneself

Feelings won't lie. Finding all the voices and understanding which one is yours; you'll feel it on a gut level.

What was happening to you in your first 7 years? Your teenage years? What was your identity? Is it true to who you are today? Are there some patterns that need unlearning?
Listening
What feelings are you wanting to feel?

On your way to that feeling, what are you trying out? What do you think you 'should' be doing?
The feeling is the target and the activities are what make that feeling true for me
Meditation and Affirmations
The moment after affirmations and the positive side of negative emotions
Pay attention to what your voice is disagreeing

Pessimism prepares you; Sadness shows you you poor love into details; Anger shows you how important something is to you

Process emotions, otherwise we get stuck

What is the purpose of this emotion?

Acceptance happens by acknowledging, seeing the positive side, repetition and compassion. It's not being a victim

Granular with goals and affirmations

"I will" to let brain know I am in action now

Don't get caught up in narrative of rebuttal
Listening - an act of self awareness.
self regulation - regulating what you're going to act on.

Named all the voices and decide what to do with them. Listening gives you a choice.

October 02, 201939: Merging Positive Psychology with Jewish Spiritual Teachings | Rabbi Laibl Wolf
On today's episode Rabbi Wolf :
1. Rabbi Wolf's background and introduction to jewish spirituality, positive psychology, and more.
His dream of sharing with people the merging of positive psychology with Jewish spiritual teachings
2. The expansion of our heart and keeping the body healthy
Eastern practices may well be important to understand body. In Judaism, the approach to wellness and healing is not just the technology of the body, but also the aptitudes of the soul to be able to express through the soul and body, so it uses the Sefirot
3. The Rebbe's influence on his life
Story of the Rebbe giving a discourse and before giving it transcending worlds

Superhuman and ephemeral aspects

The Rebbe knew your destiny and your soul
4. Jewish teachings on free will
We can overcome all three Primary influences that psychology maintains - genes, environment and culture, and modeling from parents/home environment

Jewish teachings that our genes do not dictate our life. We have 100% free will to be able to override our genetic predisposition.

We can become whoever we choose to become
5. The 10 sefirot
3 are expressed in the mind

7 are expressed through emotions

We have this model as a analogue of the cosmos as a whole - it flows through every aspect of creation

The human is only the finite projection of the sefirot

Nonlinear and central executive default mode networks
6. The 4 worlds we live in and can we know if were in the others and meditation
The realm were in consciously is one of time and space. The higher realms have no time nor space

Praying - enunciating energies as sounds and the sounds are containers for the flow of our mind and emotion. It's the way our neshama (soul), expresses how it gets carried through all the realms through the ein sof.

Meditation (to become familiar with) common denominator is focus
7. Meditation Functions and the 71 different 'families' of souls
8. Each of our unique gift to contribute to the world
