3 Steps to Freedom Video
A while back I wrote an article called, "3 Steps to Freedom: With a Belt, Shoes and a Staff." You can find it here.
In case you're a visual learner, I shared the ideas on the video below.
I hope you enjoy and wish you a redemptive Pesach!
Love,

Do You Suffer from Seder-Overwhelm?
I know dozens (and dozens) of women who have a love-hate relationship with the Seder. And I'm not talking about the cleaning and preparation entailed. I'm referring to the deeper challenges the Seder brings up for so many of us.
Granted, the physical preparations for Pesach are a big deal. Reb Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev actually links the various aspects of the cleaning we do for Pesach to the shofar blasts of Rosh Hashanah, explaining that the physical effort we expend at this time of year stands in our stead at the time of spiritual judgement. That said, I challenge the heights we've taken "cleaning" to. In my opinion, it's waaaay over the top. I don't buy that all the frenzy is coming from a healthy place. With age I slipped free of the "cult of cleaning." Yes, I now differentiate between Spring Cleaning and Passover Cleaning and whereas I used to tell others these words of the Lubavitcher Rebbe's, I now actually live by them: "Dust is not chometz and children are not the Pesach offering."
Okay, one down. We can get beyond the physical exertion stuff. But two, or three, or four to go. The real deep challenge for most of us is not in the preparation but in the Seder itself.
How many folks do you know who have reservations about the meal? (Yes, you can include yourself in that list.) We don't know how to accommodate the relatives who "just want to get to the food" - or we're one of those relatives ourselves! We think our partner doesn't have a grip on social graces; is not "spiritually in tune," is too cerebral; lacks warmth; too gushy; doesn't engage with us at the table. There's no lack of things to obsess over regarding others. Next we dig in to ourselves. After all our work, don't we deserve more? Don't we deserve to have the Seder run the way we think it should be? And then the double-whammy! Why are we SO demanding; critical; uptight? You get what I mean.
But it doesn't have to be that way. And I'd like to share some ideas I have with you about "How to Seder."
This coming Monday night begins the New Moon of the month of Nissan. It's the month of our Freedom not only from an exile of long ago but from the ways of being that keep us trapped today.
I thought it would be an opportune time for us to get together, celebrate the New Moon and tap into the wave of freedom.
Here's what I have in mind for the How to Seder event:
The first ever New Moon blessing was said in honor of the month of Nissan. We've been going strong for thousands of years. Hop on the energetic wave of Freedom and miracles and join me for a very special teleconference. With over 500 people in our group, you'll also experience the power of global connection, and energize and focus yourself for the month ahead.
To enroll in the Kabbalah Class Group, just fill out this form.
You'll receive an automated reply with the dial in info as well as a link to the Kabbalah Class archive page.
If you want to turn this New Moon into something really special, infused with the energy of Nissan and Pesach, treat yourself and join hundreds of other seekers on the call.
I hope you enjoy and look forward to greeting you on our call.
Happy New Moon!

Here's what I have in mind for the How to Seder event:
- Touch on what it takes to become emotionally free.
- Look at how to balance setting an intention and letting go of the outcome.
- Glance at the basic structure of the Haggadah (I'm not referring to content. Rather this will be a look at the flow of the text. I find it is useful for people to make sense of the sometimes seemingly disconnected readings.)
- And I'll share some meditations you can focus on to go deep within and make the Seder more meaningful for you regardless of where anyone else is holding.
- And then I'll take questions from the group. If you like, you can email them to me by using the webform on my site.

Got Protection?
I don't normally promote this kind of thing but I have
something to share that I believe will enhance your life. Here's the scoop: I can't imagine you or
someone you know couldn't do with a little help in at least one of these areas:
•Car warranty issue?
•Mortgage questions?
•Is your dog in trouble?
•Need advice on legal questions concerning your business?
•Want to draw up a will?
•Have a traffic ticket to deal with?
•Being sued by a charletan?
•Were conned by a shark?
Now you can call as attorney as many times as you want,
whenever you want. It's that
simple. For less than $20/month an
accomplished local attorney will champion your cause whenever the need might
arise.
Legal Shield is one of the best investments I ever
made. Period.
Join me on Feb 26 at 9pm EST to find out how you can
easily afford legal insurance. And if you're interested in a business
opportunity, this is a great one!

7 Foods for 7 Habits: A Step by Step Guide to the Mystic Meal and Life's Journey
This coming Thursday will be Tu B'Shevat (the 15 of the month of Shevat,) which is the Jewish New Year for Trees.
At least that's the explanation they give on Wikipedia. It doesn't seem to mean much though.
Why do trees need a New Year? So the Oaks can hold a party and make resolutions? So the Redwoods can commit to standing tall? Or the Lemon Trees to filing their taxes?
Not quite. Practically, this is the season in which trees wake from their winter hibernation and sprout their first blossoms. And legally, the new year has to do with tithes that were separated from produce grown in the Holy Land.*
But the holiday is so replete with meaning that if I could, I'd re-brand Tu B'Shevat as "the Kabbalah Holiday." This date may seem minor compared with other holidays on the calendar (and the amount of menu-planning involved for you). But Tu B'Shevat is MAJOR in terms of mystical significance.
If you want to turn this weekend from a regular one into something really special, infused with the spirit of Tu B'Shevat, I have a treat for you.
In conjunction with JLI, I made a video about the connection between the 7 Species of the Land of Israel and a 7-stage plan for spiritual growth. In fact, this lesson of the 7 foods is one of the numerous mystical backdrops for my coaching system and Method for Self Mastery. I've had many requests to see that video again so here it is. I hope you enjoy.
I also designed a chart explaining the significance of the 7 Foods for you to print out and enjoy. To view or print the chart, click here.
Happy Tree New Year!
Love
Shimona
