Cheshvan Meditation

MEDITATION

👑 A Tomer Devorah Meditation for Cheshvan: Emulating our Creator though Keter

MarCheshvan is THE time
to tap into
and reflect
Our inner Light and Simcha

Absorbed into our being
From the Chagim
We now are in our full Keter
Finding comfort and strength
in life’s humble descents
with the ebb and flow
With the rhythm of our breath

Inhaling and exhaling ...
Ascending and descending ...

Cheshvan is the "yerida l'tzorech aliya" -
descent for the sake of ascent
into the physical world
to elevate its sparks
and grow to an even higher level.

Willed in Elul.
Confirmed in Tishrei.
Incubating in Cheshvan...
And will be revealed in Kislev IY”H.

This is the cosmic story
of the feminine
and holy work.

MEDITATION

Visualize your Keter / crown.
Light from your Keter is
radiating above and around your head
eminating from you nefesh Elokis,
your G-dly soul.

Feel your soul rise
In this moment
Of connection / yichud
With your Creator

BREATHE IN CONNECTION...

Turn your focus to ANAVA / humility
The most encompassing trait of Keter
Feel your ego dissolve
Into the protective surrounding light.

Descend your gaze
downward
melt away any remnant of
holding yourself aloof.

Visualize slowly...
H-Shem’s 4 letter name
ו-ק and ‎י-ק
Within your Keter

BREATHE IN Elokut / G-dliness
BREATHE OUT EGO / anochius

Focus your attention on your Thoughts
entering your mind
in waves
One following the next
in rhythm with your breath

Know
That H-Shem has empowered us
With the capability to
Purify and refine our thoughts

To emulate Him
our Creator
the chochma of Keter
Never stops thinking good thoughts.

At this moment
Choose to refine your thoughts
Which are constantly flowing with
your natural thinking patterns.

Feel you yourself
surrounded and protected
As the ohr ha makif /
H-shem’s surrounding light
Encompasses you with complete
rachamim / compassion

with no din/ judgement
Or koshi / hardness
At all

BREATHE IN POSITIVITY
BREATHE OUT RA’A / NEGATIVITY

Pop any the bubbles of
anger, resentment,
vengeance, lack, jealousy...
as if were a game.

Fill your inner space / Ohr HaPnini
with Keter thoughts
of love and compassion
For your self
And the people
In your life

BREATHE IN LIGHT
BREATHE IT OUT TO THEM WITH BRACHA
