Good morning, everyone. Good evening, good afternoon, wherever you are, and welcome to the weekly

energy boost. My name is Elie Sheva, and I am here with David.

Hello.

And we are both teachers at the Kabbala Center. This show, we prepare every week a spiritual energy forecast for the coming seven days.

We let you know what potential storms might be out there.

I think actually one of the most beautiful things about this specific guidance that Kabbala offers around navigating each week is that it's like,

you know, sometimes in L.A. here, you put on a sweater in the morning and you wish you had a tank top on

by the afternoon. So the Kabbalists teach us not only what's the terrain going to be like,

but what are the tools that are going to help you navigate that

terrain? So every week we study, we prepare, we talk, and we take questions from you. So over the last

few weeks, we've been getting awesome feedback and questions around proactive confrontation.

I think one of the big things that came up that the impediment that makes it hard to be

proactive in confrontation is getting angry, getting upset.

So we want to lean on that this week.

We're also beginning this week a particularly spicy time in the Kabbalistic calendar.

The wisdom of Kabbalah is a biblically based wisdom based on the teachings of the Old

Testament, but not as a do-what-they-do style, more as there are secrets inside the text

itself and the Zohar, which is the...

Amazing secrets.

The main text of Kabbalah divulges those secrets.

So that's really the basis of our conversation.

And that, for the next six weeks, the whole story is about working on the ego.
