This episode features a teaching and meditation by Rabbah Dr. Mira Neshama Weil on "Healing Our Shadows." As we move more deeply into the month of Kislev, towards Hanukkah, we often think about light as juxtaposed with darkness, light emerging from darkness. But light and darkness are always present. In this gentle teaching and meditation, Rabbah Mira invites us to attend to our own internal shadows—the aspects of ourselves we'd rather avoid, but which actually require kind attention and healing in order for light to shine forth.
