OVERVIEW OF THE SERIES
“The Joy of Your True Self” combines Torah insight and cutting edge psychology to lead you on a journey of healing and self-connection.
The series is based on Judaism’s affirmation that human beings are made up of a soul and a body. The soul is an inextinguishable spark of Hashem in the heart of every human being and shines with seven divine qualities (MIDDOS) that can heal and transform.
The Soul is your true self; it is undamaged by traumatic experiences, stronger than negative moods and profoundly resilient in the face of difficult situations. The soul has the power to heal the body and lead it to a life that is healthy and joyful.
Burdened by past trauma and present difficulties the body initially resists the call of the soul however with effort and persistence the body becomes receptive and internalizes the healing and joyful approach to life that is intuitive to the soul
“The Joy of Your True Self” will take you on a Torah journey to understand your seven inner MIDDOS and be transformed by these powerful gifts.
Below is a short description of each soul quality so you can see how these inner resources will help you heal from pain and connect with the joy of your true self
CHESSED (Self Connection): Awaken to the wonder of the divine soul that shines within you
GEVURAH (Discipline): Rise above negative emotions and live in harmony with your values
