Torah Healing Meditation





By: Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz

Dear friends,

In honor of Rosh Chodesh Iyar and the 3rd week of the Omer – the Tifferet week---which both share the characteristic of HEALING …Iyar’s acronym is Ani Hashem Rofeicha –the Hebrew initial letters convey the phrase ‘I am G-d, your Healer’ and Tifferet the represents the harmonious flow of Healing –which is actually what Torah is all about as well.

Chodesh Tov and Happy Tifferet week [which both begin tonight],
Yitzchak

******Torah Healing is an awareness….One is aware of the Torah’s healing powers that our Sages [ both contemporary and ancient] reveal to us…. One is aware of the potent power of Torah, with a mindset and intention of awe ,holiness, intensity, dedication and a relentless dedication to achieve clarity and the greatest possible depth…Then, as a consequence, one remains aware of one or many of the healings that result and is personally transformed and healed…..


******Just as the Torah is infinite, it stands to reason, that the number of it’s healing benefits are infinite as well, but being the finite being that I am, I bring a partial, finite list of Torah Healings;


1. HEAL PHYSICAL PAIN----If your head hurts,or your arms, stomach or your entire body—occupy yourself with Torah and remove the
[Talmud]

2. HEAL YAITZER HARA---- Learn Torah as a remedy or a type of healing spice/herb {Tavlin} for transforming your inclination for going against Hashem’s Will {Yaitzer HaRa} into an inclination to do Hashem’s Will {Yaitzer HaTov}
[Talmud]

3. HEAL INNER CHAOS
----Occupy yourself with Torah and transform your natural chaotic perspective or mindset to being a clear ,orderly, rectified state
[Kabbalistic interpretation of the rectification of the ‘Broken Vessils’]

4. HEAL EVERYTHING\CURE-ALL----Whenever you are in need of healing/ Tikun, just increase the quantity and /or quality of the Torah learning that you presently are used to

[a tradition from my Rav, and his and many others]

5. HEAL THE G-D CONNECTION----Know that Torah actually is G-d’s Presence filtered down infinitely to the level of conceptual words on paper----so attach yourself to these concepts and you automatically connect yourself to G-d
[Kabbalistic teaching]

6. HEAL CONNECTION TO THE ESSENTIAL SELF---Know
that the Torah, Yisrael and Hashem, are one,
therefore, the more that you engage in Torah, the more that you connect to and refine your essence

[the Holy Zohar]

7. HEAL YOUR SOUL----Know that Torah can be learned
on one of a number of levels---from the most simple to the deepest of levels, and what is in-between….....All of these levels correspond to one of the levels of Soul….......To the extent that you engage Torah on one or more of these levels, to that extent you refine and heal that level of your Soul

[the Teachings of the Ariza’l]
