This week's Parsha
Tool is based on a teaching of the Baal
Shem Tov [one of
the greatest
spiritual inheritors and teachers of R. Shimon bar
Yochai's Torah
and legacy]; He
teaches that any pain or illness [or any
negativity for that
matter], is in
essence only an illusory 'Klipa' [shell or
covering] of the Divine
presence that's
trapped and hidden inside of it.
Reveal the hidden
Divine presence and you bust the illusion –
and the pain and
the source of the pain disappear.
Here's the tool
[as it was taught to me very recently];
A. Close your eyes
and choose the pain that you want to deal
with. This may be
a physical,
emotional, spiritual pain--or any other type....
B. Pay attention
to the form or image that the pain conjures up
in your mind's
Eye - such as a
grey blob or a rock...etc...
C. Place that
image in front of you and stare it 'straight in
the eyes' [so to
speak], and then
begin to shine on it Divine light similarly to
the way one
shines a laser
beam. The Divine Light energy consists of the
following;
1. EMUNA POWER -
Fill yourself up with a deep Emuna that all is
from
Hashem and there
is nothing but Hashem and all is for the
best...etc. etc... and
then direct that
light of Emuna directly at this image saying,
'I know that truly
there's nothing
else there but Hashem'.
2. HELPLESS
DVAIKUS POWER--- Passionately ask Hashem to reveal
Himself
here and now in
the midst of this pain because 'I simply have
tried everything
and am helpless to
do it without Your[ Hashem's] help...
3. ANY OTHER WAYS
OF ACCESSING DIVINE LIGHT THAT WORKS FOR YOU -
such as trusting
that Hashem will come through for you as he's
done
countless times
before.....or else unleash a primal gut level
scream summoning
Divine help.....or
else say Emuna-based Torah verses over and
over again...etc.. etc...
4. DON'T LET GO -
Despite the fact that holding in front of you
this painful
image is in itself
painful, DON'T LET GO and don't leave this
place until you've
obliterated all
layers of darkness and all that fills your mind
is pure light!
5. SEAL AND
SOLIDIFY THIS HEALING PROCESS--- by thanking Hashem
and
then sending this
brilliant released light to all other related
pains and blocks
