On this day of the journey we bring Gevurah into Tiferet, and the energies connect the heart and the left shoulder. The day is one of healing, for we take the sefirah of Limitation and Judgement into the sefirah of Compassion and Balance.

Into the Light of the Heart we bring the great Limiter, that which at once gives from to the flow of Love from Chesed, limiting its expansion that it might shape itself in a balanced fashion in this world. This essential paradox of Gevurah draws to it energies of fear and shadow. Today we shelter even that fear within the Light of Compassion.

We should not deny the shadow side of our own being. We cannot pretend that the problematic aspects of our existence and our struggles for awareness do not exist. We bring these struggles with us wherever we go. Our task is to find ways to walk with our fears as allies, to release the power hidden within them.

We need to bless that which is in most need of blessing. Creation unfolds through the act of blessing that which is.

We have all that we need to support the Tikkun Ha-Olam, the Healing Completion of Creation. The higher truth is that our experiences are absolutely fitting for each one of us. When we accept them, they are no longer forced to remain as they are; when we resist them, we keep them—and ourselves—from changing. On this day, we open to the emotional energies within us which are in need of blessing from our Greater Awareness.
