Good morning, everyone, good evening, good afternoon, wherever you are, and welcome to this week's

weekly energy boost. My name is Elie Sheva, and I'm here this lovely Monday morning with David. And we are here to share with you the most practical and powerful wisdom and tools to help you navigate the coming week. We do that through sifting through the wisdom of Kabbalah and picking out those gems and those nuggets and also

comes across as a burden.

And we do it without injecting consciousness.

We do it without intention.

And eventually we realize that it's no longer serving us in the other person. So one of the things we want to talk about today is how do we assess whether there is what we call circuitry, whether there is a recipient, there is a vessel for what we want to give, how we're giving.

Is it working for us?

Is it bearing fruit?

Because one of the things that's important, we always talk about this is that we want to make sure that there is, I think the example we gave a number of weeks ago is that, you know,
