Thirty-seven days of the Omer 5777

Today is thirty-seven days, which is five weeks and twodays, of the Omer. Gevurah of Yesod, Discipline in Bonding.

Don't beco-dependent and give your partner space is one way to look at today's aspectof Divine wisdom.

On adeeper level, a foundation is only as strong as its limits. Create a clearblueprint of the life you want to live, the values you want to embody, thelines you will not cross before laying your foundation. Refer back to thoseblueprints and decide whether opportunities align with your higher judgment.

Clear boundaries create the space needed to flourish. Byunderstanding what is within your purview, you shut out the noise and giveyourself permission to thrive. This is part of the generative power of Yesod.

And incase the sephirot are completely new to you, Yesod is symbolized by thephallus. In my experience, having the discipline to honor the deep connectionforged by sexual intimacy greatly heightens its potency.

It ishealthy to have more dependency on others when we are children. The disciplinein my bond with my toddlers is rooted in love rather than strict judgment. Myhope is that by experiencing healthy bonding in childhood, they will not seekunhealthy attachments in adulthood.

May we allhave the strength to nurture our inner children, provide ourselves with theboundaries we need to thrive, and stay firmly rooted in building the belovedcommunity.
