HEART of the HEART

Kabbalistic Sephirotic Counting of the Omer Day 17
Truth, Beauty, Balance, Harmony, Compassion

During this 17th day of the Counting of the Omer, my heart was touched by others, 
and I touched others' hearts.

Is my heart whole?  Has my heart been circumcised?  Does my heart have holes?  Is it broken?  Is there maror in my heart?  How do I heal my heart? 
How can I hold so much expansive love, and in a heart with holes?  How does my heart soar?  Is my heart full? Does my heart stretch?  How do I share my heart?  How else can I serve G*d with my heart?
Do I have inner hearts?  Heart behind heart?  Pockets in my heart?  Door to my heart?  
What secrets does my heart hold?  Do I love my neighbor as myself?  
With Tiferet, how do I mediate, bring balance between, and harmonize in Truth, Chesed and Gevurah.
Is my heart mindful?
What is the Emet/Truth of my heart?  What is the Art of my Heart?  - Joy Krauthammer


Many Tiferet Hearts

On this Tiferet Heart day, wanting others to heal, I have shared my art to add a smile in Bikkur Cholim.

On this day in Tiferet/compassion, I have shared links to today's stories on prayer, healing and mindfulness. 

On this day, I manifest my caring in Tiferet.

My Sephirah of Tiferet gained refinement learning with the Warrior Goddess Divas and Shamans
present at the CSUN Empowerment of Young Women conference on this day.

HEART FELT
Marcel's birthday again in hospital
 © Joy Krauthammer
Today would have been Marcel's, z"l, 70th birthday.

Tiferet In Tiferet means to me the compassion in my/our hearts that I/all shared with my husband, Marcel, z"l, over the 18 years that he was treated over and over again for metastatic brain cancer and severe constant complications.

How loving, tender, constant, intense, enthusiastic, expressive, limitless, authentic, genuinely empathetic --was Compassion that I/we shared?

Could we share Compassion?  Did it overflow, or were we limited, abrupt, disengaged, compulsive, careless?  When? Why? (fear, scary, seeing self, mortality, bitterness, anger?)  
Was/Is Compassion from a sense of duty, pity, self-serving, selfless or meeting the other's needs? 
Is my Compassion beautiful?  
Does my Compassion hold in harmony the other six Sephirot?  
Can I go beyond previous limitations in my Compassion and circumcise again my heart? 
Compassionately, I share my soul's Love, that is my expressive nature.

FLOWER BEAUTY - day 19 HOD sh b' TIFERET

PSALMS OF MY SOUL
ספירת העומר

Kabbalistic Sephirat HaOmer - day 19
2 weeks and 5 days of the Omer
Hod sh b'Tiferet

Awe, radiance, splendor and gratitude within beauty and harmony.
Little raindrops and dewdrops.

In humility I stand back, and hold my breath, witnessing the miracles and soak in the magnificence of the Divine One.
In the presence of blossoms and raindrops, they are huge to me, radiating the splendor of gifts of G*d, I am in awe. I am grateful for the beauty, and the rain, so badly needed. The shiny drops reflect their surroundings and garden colors are on the surface of the tiniest drop

How can I be present always in harmony and gratitude for gifts of humans and G*d? How can I integrate humility and awe and resonate that within my world? What little actions can I take that make a difference in our world and bring joy to others?

Enjoy the flowers I share from my garden that I tend for the Holy One.

- Joy Krauthammer
