  • #163 Welcoming the Queen ( Sabbath practices part 2)

    Today I share with you some deeper teachings around Welcoming the Sabbath Queen and ways you can sit with, hold and cherish your own Sabbath practice as a way to honor life and death and take a breath and a pause for your soul. I share Batya Levine's beautiful, Lecha Dodi, about the Welcoming of the Sabbath Bride and Queen into our hearts and homes, https://batyalevine.bandcamp.com/album/karov. 

    I recommend a " Sabbath practice" in the same time/ day of the week each week - no matter what your beliefs are. It's really about the soul pause, the time to listen to your inner self and to sit with the compassionate one.. try it, relax and enjoy.
