In this episode, join mindfulness teacher Nomi Shifrin to explore the reality of pain in our lives, and the surprising light that can be found within it, drawing on the Biblical story of Joseph and the approaching season of Hanukkah and the winter solstice. Through reflections on sensation, presence, and the Kabbalistic notion of divine resource, she invites us to consider how love, compassion, and awareness can help us meet even our darkest moments. Join us for a guided practice to cultivatie pleasantness in the body—building the inner capacity to meet life with softness, confidence, and profound trust.
