Speaker 1 (00:09):
Good morning everyone, good evening, good afternoon wherever you are,
and welcome to this week's Weekly Energy Boost. My name
is Elisheva, and today Aton and I are revealing the
secrets behind awakening abundance through gratitude.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
This is a topic.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Both abundance and gratitude are topics that we've touched upon before.
If you notice, many times the year provides us with
multiple opportunities to connect and deepen our awareness and reveal
aspects of ourselves in different ways multiple times over the
course of a year. But as you've been listening in
(00:47):
the last few weeks, we're gearing up in a special
way toward creating a different year for ourselves in the
coming month. And part of that technology, part of that
system is redefining how we experience the blessings in our lives,
shifting our perspectives and of course opening ourselves up to
(01:08):
receive ead even greater blessings. And today the tool we're
focusing on for that is gratitude. Weekly Energy Boost is
a seven day spiritual weather forecast where we provide our
listeners with the most practical and powerful tools to navigate
the coming seven days by gleaning through the wisdom and
tools of Kabbalah, and providing our listeners in every episode
(01:30):
with timeless wisdom and tools that can help you not
only in this week to navigate potential challenges and accessing
the gifts, but really any time of the year, any
time of your life. And because we're still in the
month of Elul, in the month of Virgo, where every
moment of the month is an opportunity to travel back
in time and redefine how our past influences and effects
(01:56):
not only the current version of us, but also the
future versions of us, the potential version of us. We
want to take time today to break down and understand
how to use the unique gift of this week to
expand our future selves, to heal the past, and to
use the present moment to be the to use the
(02:19):
present moment as the maximum catalyst for the goals and
the desires and the true soul cravings I guess you
could call it that are within each one of us.
So Aton, we've been talking these last few weeks about
really how to take advantage of the unique gifts of
this month and then specifically the week. What is so
(02:41):
special about this week and how can we make sure
not to miss those gifts.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
I think it's so so powerful that very often when
we are reflecting, what do we need to change my
reactive nature, my judgmental nature, I heard other people, and
very often we are overlooking the obvious. What about so
(03:09):
many moments in the past year that we were blessed,
but for some reason we took it for granted. For
some reason, we chose to focus on what I'm lacking.
For some reason, we didn't spend enough time to appreciate,
to feel that the Creator is with us and unblessed beyond.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Because all those.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Moments in the past year that I buy past the
opportunity to bless what I actually have done. I created
a disconnection from the Creator.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
And that I would love.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
To fix and to transform. And it's never too late.
We can do it now. So why we will speak
about deep, deeper consciousness of true gratitude for.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
The right intention.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
We will recommend everybody that is listening as part of
this weekly reflection of the past year, to actually observe
those moments that we took for granted. So I would
like to start first more the deeper, bigger picture behind gratitude,
(04:30):
the deeper picture behind that consciousness grued gratitude and true appreciation.
A lot of people would say the reason I would
like to practice gratitude because they'll be happier, tres beautiful,
so good beginning, or because more gratitude you have more
(04:51):
blessings you can attract, which is also great. But ultimately,
let's look at our purpose in life. Our purpose in
life is to get closer to the Creator, and to
get closer to the Creator is to increase my level
(05:15):
of trust of the Creator and to act like the Creator.
That's called the cout or cleving and oneness. How do
I elevate my vibration from thoughts hard action to be
like the Creator, which is more in a state of
(05:38):
true giving without agenda, because that's the only I can
really experience and become one with the Creator. And at
the same time, when you one with something or someone
you trust, especially that the Creator is the infinite force
of giving.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Now we know.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
That the Creator created two paths for us to transform
and to get closer to that energy of oneness, which
will allow endless blessings and more will allow my true
gifts and potential to shine. One is true challenges and
cares that will wake me up to that reality and
(06:22):
one true gratitude and appreciation, change, growth, innovation, having lasting
blessings in our life, and lasting experiencing of the light
of the Creator doesn't have to be through the path
of challenging. Yes, always will be some challenges, but in
(06:47):
our ultimate purpose and in the depth of our DNA,
we meant to grow, not from suffering and pain, from
gratitude and appreciation. And remember there's two forces within us,
(07:08):
the ego. What is the motivating force of the ego?
I need to change my life because I am lacking. Now,
that's a driving force of the ego. I want to achievemo,
I want to get more because I am lacking. That's
(07:28):
the constant reality of the ego. That's the constant lenses
of the ego. I will look at myself, at life,
at situation, and my accomplishment.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
I am lacking.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
That's a deep belief system and for that reason I
want to change my life that I'll be happy, which
is illusionary perception of reality from the soul point of view, Yes,
I'm driven to growing, to improve.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
But I am blessed. Huge difference. I am blessed or
am I lucky?
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Appreciation is awakened in the belief system that the Creator
is it with me and I'm blessed right now, and
from that place I want to grow.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
And it's a choice, it's a daily choice. It's hundreds
of tests a day. Am I lacking? Am I blessed?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
And from that place I want to grow? So that's
the first thing. Am I actually driven by um lacking?
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Or I am blessed? And when I'm driven by I
am blessed?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Change, growth, miracles happen through blessings, not through suffering.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
And even I might go through challenges, in imagine you
feel in the midst of it, I am blessed.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
That's the path the creator cave ust. The question is
what does it mean practically? How do we shift that
consciousness daily from I'm lacking to I am blessed? How
can you shift it now? Where would you start that
you share up well?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I think when we're stuck in a mindset of lack,
the quickest way to shift out of it, or to
begin to move out of it, is to ask yourself,
what's the best thing that happened to me today?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Such a small.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I think, even for the neurons in the brain to
stop the flow of negative thinking and reflect on the
day and say what did I enjoy today? What was
special for me today? And I remember even asking this
in a class. People said things like taking my dog
for a walk in the sunshine, talking to my uncle,
(10:06):
you know, and all these different you know, we would
call them mundane moments. Nobody was talking about winning the
lottery or you know, hearing from a doctor that.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
They're cured from a disease.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
These were very simple, typical moments, moments that you maybe
have ten twenty thirty in a day that you move
so quickly through that we miss the opportunity to feel
the goodness of the light in those moments. So whenever
I'm speaking with someone who's asking for a shift in
(10:42):
this consciousness and this perception, it always begins with what's
the best thing that happened to you today? And even
if it's you had a delicious cup of tea or coffee,
or you watch the sunrise, attaching your your heart and
your mind to the appreciation to that moment where really
(11:05):
what the universe did.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
If we understand the way that the.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
System works, the universe is giving us constant opportunities throughout
the day to connect to the light of the creator.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
So we can look at I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
We get a bill in the mail for I don't
know electricity or water right, and we can say, oh
my god, another bill I have to pay. But we
can also say, thank god I live in a house
where I have utilities that I need to pay. Thank
God I have a job that helps me pay, and
to feel in that moment the lack or the blessing
(11:41):
is really a choice.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
And if we don't.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Slow down every so often and take the time to
do that, I can't find I'm not sure I know
the exact word how to distinguish from having a gratitude
journal making a list of all the blessings in your life.
It's good and it's important, but it's not the same
thing as dedicating that time to feeling the light inside
(12:07):
the goodness that you experience in your life, especially when
you are feeling lack that that really is like the
cure for being bombarded by negative thoughts when you're hard
on yourself, when you're comparing yourself to others, when you're
feeling insecure or anxious about something, you stop and you
(12:30):
ask yourself, what is the best thing that happened to
me today? And it doesn't have to be something monumental.
The opposite. You start to realize that in those small
moments of goodness, the universe is sending you opportunity after
opportunity after opportunity to recognize the light of the Creator
in everything that happens.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
In your life.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
And the more you do it, like you said, Aton,
it's that's really the basis. That's the magnet that begins
to grow that connection of oneness versus craving that oneness
because we feel like we're so in the dark, which
you might accomplish them the end result may be the same,
(13:10):
but think about what kind of is and joy is
in the process When you're proactively creating that affinity by
shifting the way you feel about the little things that
are happening in your life.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
That's beautiful. The thing is that something important. It's so
easy to bypass those moments of blessings if you don't pause,
because actually there's a deep cabalistic teaching that's.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Saying that.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Every day we meant to bless and to think the
Creator at least hundred times and under time is the
critical mass that you shifting your mind from lack consciousness
to I am blessed consciousness undertime. Now there's also diffabalistic
(14:04):
teaching that they're saying, as we know, the Creator created
the opponent toil to challenge mankind the negative force, and
it's actually the job of the opponent, the job of
the evil inclination, is to try to prevent the see
and feel and express true internal gratitude that I'm blessed.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
In this moment.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
So another way to look at this, when I'm looking
at life from lacking consciousness ego consciousness, I'm searching for
the diamonds tomorrow, I'm searching for the diamonds after I'll
fix this problem, for the diamond of a feel good conversation,
(14:51):
for the diamond of closing a deal.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
For the diamond of my.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Pain will be removed. The creator tells us, I gave
you today today hundred diamonds.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Just search for that.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Because those hudred diamonds, if you recognize them, and I'm
not suggesting you have anxiety. I have only ninety seven,
should have one hundred. No, don't get to that lack consciousness.
But if you really know this diamond right now, the
illusionary consciousness of the ego, when I will fix so
(15:37):
guess what's happening. When you're gonna fix and you're gonna
get what you wanted, the thought will bring you happiness
because the consciousness is when I will when you're gonna
get it, you Singlena, but when I will fix the
next thing. So shifting the consciousness, there's hundred diamonds today.
For example, we have a short memory.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
It's part of the challenge.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Yesterday, your stomach feel hey yesterday. Let's say your stomach
feel amazing. Today, your stomach don't feel good, and then
ten minutes later, your stomach feel good. Very often when
we don't feel great, a stomach don't feel great, or
(16:28):
whatever issues you have, you have, digestion issues, you have package.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
You cannot exercise you when you want it.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
We realize I should have appreciate yesterday when things were
flowing in my body, but I didn't feel the anxiety
and the stress.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Remind yourself all these moments of life that you did
know that things were good, that you took for granted
of this moment that things were not good. And look
at your body right now. Wow, I feel flaw in
my chest. I feel amazing. Conversation with someone, Where did
(17:14):
it come from? That's normal. Nothing is normal. You know
what's normal.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Each one of us is an empty vessel without any energy.
Imagine an apple without an energy will be rotten. The
mere fact that I could have a great conversation with someone,
it's the endless light of the Creator. Sharing is abundance
with me right now. The mere fact of my heart functioning.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Right now, all the way from.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
The source of all sources, I'm receiving an energy that nurturing, feeding, healing,
protecting my heart, my stomach, my legs. I'm allowed to
walk the beautiful synchronicident and the body.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
We are good to.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Appreciate a blessing right after potential disaster, potential accident, and
then I get saved. That's what consciousness is about. Connect
these two realities. In the present moment, you feel great,
Remember all you didn't feel great and I've granted you. No, no, no,
(18:26):
But that's not the problems I'm dealing with. We're chasing
after fixing problems instead of charging all batteries. With connection
to the Creator, you are blessed right now, and from
that place dealt with issues.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
It's a war, internal war.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
The opponent within us wants to take for granted and
to focus on what's lacking and to make us things
or I will appree when all those things will happen
in my life.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I think also the connection to drawing. I don't want
to even know if I want to.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Use the word physical, but using the tool of gratitude
to attract more blessings. Right, we have this phrase, we
say what you appreciate appreciates But on a kabalistic level,
the idea is that right, And I don't know if
(19:33):
we speak about it specifically enough, because it's one of
those concepts that in Kabbalah is so fundamental it's obvious
everybody must understand it. But the idea is that like
attracts like, and therefore light attracts light. So when we
operate on that level of abundance, feeling fortunate beyond ever
(19:57):
being able to earn my blessings, overwhelmed with gratitude and appreciation,
that creates the most powerful magnet for increasing our blessings.
It's like the the The concept of affinity of form
is that when two things are similar, they're close, and
(20:19):
when two things are different there far It's not about
physical space, right, It's not about proximity, It's about likeness.
And that energy, that vibration of abundance creates abundance. It's
such a subtle you know, it almost sounds cliche something,
(20:40):
you know, it sounds like okay, and you roll your eyes.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Of course, abundance.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
No, it's a scientific it's something you can measure that
when you appreciate and see the blessing in all of
those small moments that we were talking about, the things
that are so easy to blast through to rush through
in the course of a day. And you appreciate those moments,
you literally attract more. You appreciate the dollar, the five dollars,
(21:09):
the delicious sandwich or you know, smoothie that you had,
you literally attract more food, more money, more friendship. It's
really the value you place on what you have is
what increases what you have.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Absolutely, absolutely. The other day I met a couple that
really love each other, but there was struggling.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
They're going to a tough time, and of course usually.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Each one would present what they upset about the other person,
and focusing on what the other person lacking, the behavior,
the lack of sensitivity, did, the lack of appreciation, and
everybody at valid points, and I'm sure there's some truth
in it.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
But we started with the exercise. Both of you close
your eyes now, just relax.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
And then look at each other eyes and tell each
other what do you appreciate about them?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Yeah? What deal with the lack? What do you appreciate
about them?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
What is the attributes, the blessings, the goodness, the behaviors,
the personalities, the.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Kindness that you appreciate about the other person. And that
shifted the energy of the room.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
After ten minutes completely, Then we can learn lessons about
our issues. Everybody could look responsibility out they care. It
can be better.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Because you're coming from eyes off light.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
It's very simple, like you're saying, Elicia, but like attracts
like are you coming from light or are you coming
from anti light? Light means abundance, anti light means lack.
Where are you coming for? If you can involve, Wow,
(23:03):
I appreciate. I smile laterally because I appreciate you, and
then okay, let's observe how it can be better. Of course,
life is about transformation and being better. And actually the
ultimate level of appreciation is what a person is able
to appreciate even the.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Challenge, knowing.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
And eventually drawing the feeling even though I have no clue.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
I know the challenge is a gift from the Creator.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
I choose to appreciate it, please the create, to open
my heart to appreciate it. And that's how you actually
totally master in life and creating miracles beyond. But it's
a shift of a mindset. And when we're talking about
this period of time, reflect that the past, hear moment
(24:02):
you did not spend enough to appreciate and because of that,
you spend too much time complaining about. Look at the
things you're complaining about these days, and look back at
the years. Did I appreciate enough when things were good?
You don't have to find a deep issue you need
(24:22):
to fix lack of appreciation, it's lack of connection to
the creator. What is the period of the shuvar repentance, reflection,
all the moments I did not connect to the Creator
in the past, tear I deny the Creator.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
I was more.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Busy in my head then knowing that the Creator is here.
Appreciation it's power of the way to demonstrate a certainty
the Creator is here, and then you are with the Creator.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
And when you're not, you're not acknowledging it, you're not
feeling it. You're not taking the time.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
You planted a seed of this connection, not that God
is punishing us. Consciousness is everything. Either the Creator is
with me now or not. Every moment you did not
acknowledge the Creator is not with you, is not with you,
then we need to learn lessons in a tough way.
(25:21):
So it's a great tweek to reflect. You're right, I
was not appreciated this meeting, this connection with people, these
creative ideas, this amazing time, this amazing vacation, this amazing
new friend, amazing connection with my child.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
I took it for granted.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I think it's so important, especially this week when we do,
when we.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Go through that reflection process, and.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
To me, I have these moments every so often where
I feel so fortunate to have this perspective, have this
consciousness to hear this wisdom, to even you know, I
had a realization about something that I did or maybe
something I didn't do over the past year that I
would like to work on and transform and focus on,
(26:14):
and I was so I had this moment of overwhelming
gratitude that I heard the message at that moment, and
I realized something about myself that I think has been
either I've been avoiding it or blind to it for
so long. And I was so grateful in that moment,
like my ears were open, that I had the thought
(26:35):
that the light allowed me to see and to listen
to the conversation in a different way. And I think
it's that simple beginning on that level where you sit
back for a moment to do you have that kind
of awe, right, It's very easy to go and watch
a beautiful sunset or a waterfall or you know, and
you're in awe of nature. Nature is at work all
(26:56):
the time, revealing miracles to us all the time. And
that's so different for such a different approach in the
month of Virgo, when it's so easy to fall into
the criticism and that being harsh on ourselves and being
heavy about it. The fact that you have this wisdom
that you can shift your perspective, that you have access
to the tools that are going to help you have
(27:19):
a dramatically better year than last.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Year, even that just sit in that for a moment.
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Billions of people in the world don't have that. And
from that place, approach your growth and your transformation this week,
this month. They think it's going to create a revolution
for all of us beautiful. Weekly Energy Boost is available

The Weekly Energy Boost
Good morning everyone, good evening, good afternoon wherever you are,
and welcome to this week's Weekly Energy Boost. My name
is Elisheva, and today Aton and I are revealing the
secrets behind awakening abundance through gratitude.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
This is a topic.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Both abundance and gratitude are topics that we've touched upon before.
If you notice, many times the year provides us with
multiple opportunities to connect and deepen our awareness and reveal
aspects of ourselves in different ways multiple times over the
course of a year. But as you've been listening in
(00:47):
the last few weeks, we're gearing up in a special
way toward creating a different year for ourselves in the
coming month. And part of that technology, part of that
system is redefining how we experience the blessings in our lives,
shifting our perspectives and of course opening ourselves up to
(01:08):
receive ead even greater blessings. And today the tool we're
focusing on for that is gratitude. Weekly Energy Boost is
a seven day spiritual weather forecast where we provide our
listeners with the most practical and powerful tools to navigate
the coming seven days by gleaning through the wisdom and
tools of Kabbalah, and providing our listeners in every episode
(01:30):
with timeless wisdom and tools that can help you not
only in this week to navigate potential challenges and accessing
the gifts, but really any time of the year, any
time of your life. And because we're still in the
month of Elul, in the month of Virgo, where every
moment of the month is an opportunity to travel back
in time and redefine how our past influences and effects
(01:56):
not only the current version of us, but also the
future versions of us, the potential version of us. We
want to take time today to break down and understand
how to use the unique gift of this week to
expand our future selves, to heal the past, and to
use the present moment to be the to use the
(02:19):
present moment as the maximum catalyst for the goals and
the desires and the true soul cravings I guess you
could call it that are within each one of us.
So Aton, we've been talking these last few weeks about
really how to take advantage of the unique gifts of
this month and then specifically the week. What is so
(02:41):
special about this week and how can we make sure
not to miss those gifts.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
I think it's so so powerful that very often when
we are reflecting, what do we need to change my
reactive nature, my judgmental nature, I heard other people, and
very often we are overlooking the obvious. What about so
(03:09):
many moments in the past year that we were blessed,
but for some reason we took it for granted. For
some reason, we chose to focus on what I'm lacking.
For some reason, we didn't spend enough time to appreciate,
to feel that the Creator is with us and unblessed beyond.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Because all those.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Moments in the past year that I buy past the
opportunity to bless what I actually have done. I created
a disconnection from the Creator.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
And that I would love.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
To fix and to transform. And it's never too late.
We can do it now. So why we will speak
about deep, deeper consciousness of true gratitude for.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
The right intention.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
We will recommend everybody that is listening as part of
this weekly reflection of the past year, to actually observe
those moments that we took for granted. So I would
like to start first more the deeper, bigger picture behind gratitude,
(04:30):
the deeper picture behind that consciousness grued gratitude and true appreciation.
A lot of people would say the reason I would
like to practice gratitude because they'll be happier, tres beautiful,
so good beginning, or because more gratitude you have more
(04:51):
blessings you can attract, which is also great. But ultimately,
let's look at our purpose in life. Our purpose in
life is to get closer to the Creator, and to
get closer to the Creator is to increase my level
(05:15):
of trust of the Creator and to act like the Creator.
That's called the cout or cleving and oneness. How do
I elevate my vibration from thoughts hard action to be
like the Creator, which is more in a state of
(05:38):
true giving without agenda, because that's the only I can
really experience and become one with the Creator. And at
the same time, when you one with something or someone
you trust, especially that the Creator is the infinite force
of giving.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Now we know.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
That the Creator created two paths for us to transform
and to get closer to that energy of oneness, which
will allow endless blessings and more will allow my true
gifts and potential to shine. One is true challenges and
cares that will wake me up to that reality and
(06:22):
one true gratitude and appreciation, change, growth, innovation, having lasting
blessings in our life, and lasting experiencing of the light
of the Creator doesn't have to be through the path
of challenging. Yes, always will be some challenges, but in
(06:47):
our ultimate purpose and in the depth of our DNA,
we meant to grow, not from suffering and pain, from
gratitude and appreciation. And remember there's two forces within us,
(07:08):
the ego. What is the motivating force of the ego?
I need to change my life because I am lacking. Now,
that's a driving force of the ego. I want to achievemo,
I want to get more because I am lacking. That's
(07:28):
the constant reality of the ego. That's the constant lenses
of the ego. I will look at myself, at life,
at situation, and my accomplishment.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
I am lacking.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
That's a deep belief system and for that reason I
want to change my life that I'll be happy, which
is illusionary perception of reality from the soul point of view, Yes,
I'm driven to growing, to improve.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
But I am blessed. Huge difference. I am blessed or
am I lucky?
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Appreciation is awakened in the belief system that the Creator
is it with me and I'm blessed right now, and
from that place I want to grow.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
And it's a choice, it's a daily choice. It's hundreds
of tests a day. Am I lacking? Am I blessed?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
And from that place I want to grow? So that's
the first thing. Am I actually driven by um lacking?
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Or I am blessed? And when I'm driven by I
am blessed?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Change, growth, miracles happen through blessings, not through suffering.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
And even I might go through challenges, in imagine you
feel in the midst of it, I am blessed.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
That's the path the creator cave ust. The question is
what does it mean practically? How do we shift that
consciousness daily from I'm lacking to I am blessed? How
can you shift it now? Where would you start that
you share up well?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I think when we're stuck in a mindset of lack,
the quickest way to shift out of it, or to
begin to move out of it, is to ask yourself,
what's the best thing that happened to me today?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Such a small.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I think, even for the neurons in the brain to
stop the flow of negative thinking and reflect on the
day and say what did I enjoy today? What was
special for me today? And I remember even asking this
in a class. People said things like taking my dog
for a walk in the sunshine, talking to my uncle,
(10:06):
you know, and all these different you know, we would
call them mundane moments. Nobody was talking about winning the
lottery or you know, hearing from a doctor that.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
They're cured from a disease.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
These were very simple, typical moments, moments that you maybe
have ten twenty thirty in a day that you move
so quickly through that we miss the opportunity to feel
the goodness of the light in those moments. So whenever
I'm speaking with someone who's asking for a shift in
(10:42):
this consciousness and this perception, it always begins with what's
the best thing that happened to you today? And even
if it's you had a delicious cup of tea or coffee,
or you watch the sunrise, attaching your your heart and
your mind to the appreciation to that moment where really
(11:05):
what the universe did.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
If we understand the way that the.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
System works, the universe is giving us constant opportunities throughout
the day to connect to the light of the creator.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
So we can look at I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
We get a bill in the mail for I don't
know electricity or water right, and we can say, oh
my god, another bill I have to pay. But we
can also say, thank god I live in a house
where I have utilities that I need to pay. Thank
God I have a job that helps me pay, and
to feel in that moment the lack or the blessing
(11:41):
is really a choice.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
And if we don't.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Slow down every so often and take the time to
do that, I can't find I'm not sure I know
the exact word how to distinguish from having a gratitude
journal making a list of all the blessings in your life.
It's good and it's important, but it's not the same
thing as dedicating that time to feeling the light inside
(12:07):
the goodness that you experience in your life, especially when
you are feeling lack that that really is like the
cure for being bombarded by negative thoughts when you're hard
on yourself, when you're comparing yourself to others, when you're
feeling insecure or anxious about something, you stop and you
(12:30):
ask yourself, what is the best thing that happened to
me today? And it doesn't have to be something monumental.
The opposite. You start to realize that in those small
moments of goodness, the universe is sending you opportunity after
opportunity after opportunity to recognize the light of the Creator
in everything that happens.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
In your life.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
And the more you do it, like you said, Aton,
it's that's really the basis. That's the magnet that begins
to grow that connection of oneness versus craving that oneness
because we feel like we're so in the dark, which
you might accomplish them the end result may be the same,
(13:10):
but think about what kind of is and joy is
in the process When you're proactively creating that affinity by
shifting the way you feel about the little things that
are happening in your life.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
That's beautiful. The thing is that something important. It's so
easy to bypass those moments of blessings if you don't pause,
because actually there's a deep cabalistic teaching that's.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Saying that.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Every day we meant to bless and to think the
Creator at least hundred times and under time is the
critical mass that you shifting your mind from lack consciousness
to I am blessed consciousness undertime. Now there's also diffabalistic
(14:04):
teaching that they're saying, as we know, the Creator created
the opponent toil to challenge mankind the negative force, and
it's actually the job of the opponent, the job of
the evil inclination, is to try to prevent the see
and feel and express true internal gratitude that I'm blessed.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
In this moment.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
So another way to look at this, when I'm looking
at life from lacking consciousness ego consciousness, I'm searching for
the diamonds tomorrow, I'm searching for the diamonds after I'll
fix this problem, for the diamond of a feel good conversation,
(14:51):
for the diamond of closing a deal.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
For the diamond of my.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Pain will be removed. The creator tells us, I gave
you today today hundred diamonds.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Just search for that.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Because those hudred diamonds, if you recognize them, and I'm
not suggesting you have anxiety. I have only ninety seven,
should have one hundred. No, don't get to that lack consciousness.
But if you really know this diamond right now, the
illusionary consciousness of the ego, when I will fix so
(15:37):
guess what's happening. When you're gonna fix and you're gonna
get what you wanted, the thought will bring you happiness
because the consciousness is when I will when you're gonna
get it, you Singlena, but when I will fix the
next thing. So shifting the consciousness, there's hundred diamonds today.
For example, we have a short memory.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
It's part of the challenge.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Yesterday, your stomach feel hey yesterday. Let's say your stomach
feel amazing. Today, your stomach don't feel good, and then
ten minutes later, your stomach feel good. Very often when
we don't feel great, a stomach don't feel great, or
(16:28):
whatever issues you have, you have, digestion issues, you have package.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
You cannot exercise you when you want it.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
We realize I should have appreciate yesterday when things were
flowing in my body, but I didn't feel the anxiety
and the stress.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Remind yourself all these moments of life that you did
know that things were good, that you took for granted
of this moment that things were not good. And look
at your body right now. Wow, I feel flaw in
my chest. I feel amazing. Conversation with someone, Where did
(17:14):
it come from? That's normal. Nothing is normal. You know
what's normal.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Each one of us is an empty vessel without any energy.
Imagine an apple without an energy will be rotten. The
mere fact that I could have a great conversation with someone,
it's the endless light of the Creator. Sharing is abundance
with me right now. The mere fact of my heart functioning.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Right now, all the way from.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
The source of all sources, I'm receiving an energy that nurturing, feeding, healing,
protecting my heart, my stomach, my legs. I'm allowed to
walk the beautiful synchronicident and the body.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
We are good to.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Appreciate a blessing right after potential disaster, potential accident, and
then I get saved. That's what consciousness is about. Connect
these two realities. In the present moment, you feel great,
Remember all you didn't feel great and I've granted you. No, no, no,
(18:26):
But that's not the problems I'm dealing with. We're chasing
after fixing problems instead of charging all batteries. With connection
to the Creator, you are blessed right now, and from
that place dealt with issues.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
It's a war, internal war.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
The opponent within us wants to take for granted and
to focus on what's lacking and to make us things
or I will appree when all those things will happen
in my life.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I think also the connection to drawing. I don't want
to even know if I want to.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Use the word physical, but using the tool of gratitude
to attract more blessings. Right, we have this phrase, we
say what you appreciate appreciates But on a kabalistic level,
the idea is that right, And I don't know if
(19:33):
we speak about it specifically enough, because it's one of
those concepts that in Kabbalah is so fundamental it's obvious
everybody must understand it. But the idea is that like
attracts like, and therefore light attracts light. So when we
operate on that level of abundance, feeling fortunate beyond ever
(19:57):
being able to earn my blessings, overwhelmed with gratitude and appreciation,
that creates the most powerful magnet for increasing our blessings.
It's like the the The concept of affinity of form
is that when two things are similar, they're close, and
(20:19):
when two things are different there far It's not about
physical space, right, It's not about proximity, It's about likeness.
And that energy, that vibration of abundance creates abundance. It's
such a subtle you know, it almost sounds cliche something,
(20:40):
you know, it sounds like okay, and you roll your eyes.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Of course, abundance.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
No, it's a scientific it's something you can measure that
when you appreciate and see the blessing in all of
those small moments that we were talking about, the things
that are so easy to blast through to rush through
in the course of a day. And you appreciate those moments,
you literally attract more. You appreciate the dollar, the five dollars,
(21:09):
the delicious sandwich or you know, smoothie that you had,
you literally attract more food, more money, more friendship. It's
really the value you place on what you have is
what increases what you have.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Absolutely, absolutely. The other day I met a couple that
really love each other, but there was struggling.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
They're going to a tough time, and of course usually.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Each one would present what they upset about the other person,
and focusing on what the other person lacking, the behavior,
the lack of sensitivity, did, the lack of appreciation, and
everybody at valid points, and I'm sure there's some truth
in it.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
But we started with the exercise. Both of you close
your eyes now, just relax.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
And then look at each other eyes and tell each
other what do you appreciate about them?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Yeah? What deal with the lack? What do you appreciate
about them?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
What is the attributes, the blessings, the goodness, the behaviors,
the personalities, the.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Kindness that you appreciate about the other person. And that
shifted the energy of the room.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
After ten minutes completely, Then we can learn lessons about
our issues. Everybody could look responsibility out they care. It
can be better.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Because you're coming from eyes off light.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
It's very simple, like you're saying, Elicia, but like attracts
like are you coming from light or are you coming
from anti light? Light means abundance, anti light means lack.
Where are you coming for? If you can involve, Wow,
(23:03):
I appreciate. I smile laterally because I appreciate you, and
then okay, let's observe how it can be better. Of course,
life is about transformation and being better. And actually the
ultimate level of appreciation is what a person is able
to appreciate even the.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Challenge, knowing.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
And eventually drawing the feeling even though I have no clue.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
I know the challenge is a gift from the Creator.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
I choose to appreciate it, please the create, to open
my heart to appreciate it. And that's how you actually
totally master in life and creating miracles beyond. But it's
a shift of a mindset. And when we're talking about
this period of time, reflect that the past, hear moment
(24:02):
you did not spend enough to appreciate and because of that,
you spend too much time complaining about. Look at the
things you're complaining about these days, and look back at
the years. Did I appreciate enough when things were good?
You don't have to find a deep issue you need
(24:22):
to fix lack of appreciation, it's lack of connection to
the creator. What is the period of the shuvar repentance, reflection,
all the moments I did not connect to the Creator
in the past, tear I deny the Creator.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
I was more.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Busy in my head then knowing that the Creator is here.
Appreciation it's power of the way to demonstrate a certainty
the Creator is here, and then you are with the Creator.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
And when you're not, you're not acknowledging it, you're not
feeling it. You're not taking the time.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
You planted a seed of this connection, not that God
is punishing us. Consciousness is everything. Either the Creator is
with me now or not. Every moment you did not
acknowledge the Creator is not with you, is not with you,
then we need to learn lessons in a tough way.
(25:21):
So it's a great tweek to reflect. You're right, I
was not appreciated this meeting, this connection with people, these
creative ideas, this amazing time, this amazing vacation, this amazing
new friend, amazing connection with my child.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
I took it for granted.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I think it's so important, especially this week when we do,
when we.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Go through that reflection process, and.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
To me, I have these moments every so often where
I feel so fortunate to have this perspective, have this
consciousness to hear this wisdom, to even you know, I
had a realization about something that I did or maybe
something I didn't do over the past year that I
would like to work on and transform and focus on,
(26:14):
and I was so I had this moment of overwhelming
gratitude that I heard the message at that moment, and
I realized something about myself that I think has been
either I've been avoiding it or blind to it for
so long. And I was so grateful in that moment,
like my ears were open, that I had the thought
(26:35):
that the light allowed me to see and to listen
to the conversation in a different way. And I think
it's that simple beginning on that level where you sit
back for a moment to do you have that kind
of awe, right, It's very easy to go and watch
a beautiful sunset or a waterfall or you know, and
you're in awe of nature. Nature is at work all
(26:56):
the time, revealing miracles to us all the time. And
that's so different for such a different approach in the
month of Virgo, when it's so easy to fall into
the criticism and that being harsh on ourselves and being
heavy about it. The fact that you have this wisdom
that you can shift your perspective, that you have access
to the tools that are going to help you have
(27:19):
a dramatically better year than last.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Year, even that just sit in that for a moment.
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Billions of people in the world don't have that. And
from that place, approach your growth and your transformation this week,
this month. They think it's going to create a revolution
