We
all have our own personal struggles. Some people deal with health problems or
abusive relationships, while others battle poverty or addictions.
In the midst of these struggles, we can become so consumed that simply surviving becomes the goal. We forget life is meant to be so much more than just keeping our head above water.
As long as the goal is merely surviving, we cannot arrive at a place where we are truly thriving.

The kabbalists teach there are two realities: The physical reality, which
includes our often chaotic daily lives, and the metaphysical reality where there
is absolute order, perfection and infinite spiritual energy, or Light.
The reason we experience chaos is because we live mostly in the physical
reality. Even for those of us who are spiritual, if we are honest with
ourselves, we probably spend at the most an hour a day expanding our
consciousness through meditation or spiritual study. This constitutes a very
small percentage of our entire day.
This doesn’t mean that we need to
live out our existence meditating on a mountain. On the contrary, the purpose of
Kabbalah is a practical one, enabling us to draw energy from the spiritual
dimension and infuse it into every part of our material lives.
This
isn’t easy. It takes awareness, effort, discipline, and support.
Part of
the spiritual path is living in the material world, but not reacting to it. This
can often feel impossible, but with the help of the energy accessed from our
investment in meditation, study, and the use of the kabbalistic tools, we can
elevate our consciousness to a place where we are unmoved by the chaos of the
physical world. It is with this consciousness that we tap into the possibility
of attracting great miracles and blessings into our lives.
Being
connected to something so much greater is possible, but it all begins with a
spiritual investment. If you’re currently spending five minutes a day in study,
make it ten. If your life has benefited from these Tune-Ups, consider it might
be time to take your inspiration to the next level and get a teacher.
The more we invest in our spirituality, the more consistently we can
elevate our consciousness and connect to the spiritual source of everything
good.

DIALING GOD
I will quiet the static that blocks my spiritual path. I see chaos and difficulties, negative energy that I have created, standing in the way of my Light source. One by one, I remove the obstructions. As I throw them away, the Light becomes brighter and clearer. I am connected to the Light source. There is an opening through which my prayers can be answered.
