Topics of Discussion Background and what led to where he is now Religious Growth and affiliation, Chabad Learning Torah but far from Truth Learning Chassidus and going to therapy Finding the right therapist Jewish Chassidic teachings and New-age Spiritual thought leaders Day job Torah, side hustle Spiritual self-help When he knew it was time to do more than studying in yeshiva Letting go of fear Do all spiritual paths lead to the same end-goal? Does it mean I can choose a different place and get to the same place? As far as spirit is concerned, G-d is found in all places. So everywhere is the path to G-d. Torah is not about this is the only way to find an enlightened perspective because it can be found in many places. What is the uniqueness of Torah? Judaism begins where Buddhism leaves off Believing in the Mount Sinai experience of receiving the Torah Other practices may have some filter keeping someone from the Unified Truth - Ohr Ein Sof His deepest spiritual experiences were in Torah The Oneness is available to everyone and for everyone If you're looking for relaxation or co-create and manifest things there are modalities. But if you're looking to return to Self, that's the placeless The goal of all is to reach Source consciousness and then internalize it and reflect It in this world The path to G-d is for everybody, but Torah is not necessarily for everybody “Your incarnation is the blueprint for your liberation” - Ram Das. Why Ram Das didn't find enlightenment in Judaism. He said no one put Kabbalah and Chassidus in front of him You don't need to look somewhere else to find the enlightenment space Your life is not a mistake. Everything that led to where you are now is for a higher purpose The Lubavitcher Rebbe's push for mivtzoim (helping a fellow Jew with Mitzvahs). Putting on tefillin is water for your thirsty soul One mitzvah. One thing at a time. The Hebrew month of Elul and Tishrei "It's all the same to Me" "The Three Conditions" G-d is not found in the noise If you really want to know G-d you have to come to know yourself. How? Do one of three things: meditate, get outside of a world-view of taking and give instead, change your priority of doing to just being - quiet, service, being --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/solomon-ezra-berezin/support

Show Notes: Rabbi Aamr's background and how he got into meditative prayer and breathwork Purpose of breath-work and meditation Difference between Davenen (prayer) and meditation Thinking Chassidus means to ask: What you learned, how does it relate to your personal life? Mittler Rebbe Derech Chayim - you should not stray after your hearts and then your eyes? Not eyes then heart? A person only sees with his eyes what he desires with his heart. “The world was created with 10 maamarim, or sayings.” Why not 1 maamar? Lehibarot (to create) comes from the word briut (health). A chassidic explanation: With one maamar you can be healthy. Types of meditation Chassidic Discourses that change the way you look at things Living with a chassidic discourse and not just reading it Whats the best hochlata, or resolution you can take? Just do it. Elevating your self with Chassidus A person only sees with his eyes what his heart desires What he teaches today with breathwork and meditation Preparing the keli, the vessel to receive, then bringing in ideas of chassidus that will attach you to G-d's unity Why does meditation have to be before davenen? Why not in the middle of the day? The Friedeker Rebbe says that once one contemplates, he taps into and unveils one's emotions, having unveiled emotions without something to keep a person focused, like prayer, or something practical, it can leave it open, which then can lead to a not-positive place. All the growth in human potential and performance is a direct result of chassidus being introduced in the world Chakras - sounds like the hebrew word sheker (lie), Reiki from the hebrew word reik (emptiness) Experiment to see the aura around a person - seeing an aura around a person with tefillin, and a woman after a mikveh, spiritual bath The depths of the highest level and the depths of the abyss, where a person gets energy from unholy forces Some things might seem wonderful but who says it's from a kedusha, holiness What is the source of it from? Rebbe to a Jew: G-d is what He needs to be to other people, but to the Jew it's the attachment through Torah and mitzvahs His personal experience with transformational breath in Israel with a elderly man Using the healing work as a temporary passageway to something higher Sharpening your Saw Learning the Rebbe's sichas, or short talk like chassidic discourses Take your time and learn to know Being in the Zone means my inside and my outside are in balance, it comes from Chassidus Breathing deeply frees a person's mind Spirit of Moshiach is the breath of air Transformational breathwork that forces a person to reach deeper areas in the body where oxygen did not get Writing your vision on paper and watching it unfold Getting out in order to return better I'm running from You to You What 12/13 Tammuz is and Rabbi Amar's personal experience with the Rebbe mesirat nefesh, self sacrifice.

Chassidic concept of *Tzimtzumim* - contractions - “One thing about confidence and vision is that people who lack it don't like it when you express it” Theme: You can always control your spirit. So everything flows from that Building awareness on cultivating awareness A workout is a slice of time Performance psychologies a summary that is unique to you or to your circumstances as a cue to yourself Things happen for you - Inward and upward (24 min) Embrace pressure “No matter how good you do I'm going to push the limit one more time “ Be satisfied and constantly improving (34 min) John Eliot - Goals and dreams / outcomes and performance Genuine confidence and focus on performance as opposed to result is a place where you're always present How to respond to events in the day Expressing innermost under pressure. Highest level of performance is almost like you're not there. (43 min) Physically satisfied but in spiritual growth never satisfied, there's always more “If the outcome is tied to the dream correctly, it becomes a spiritual pursuit.” Honest evaluation with yourself how are you responding to how things unfold. “Nothing stands in the way of a persons will” Ironically, when you experience doubt it's a sign of a high level.

How i process information under pressure dictates how I perform under pressure - Performance Identity (unique strength, super power). Under pressure it gets challenged - Performance Targets - cue focusing on ahead of time vs outcome - Mistakes we can make (1) target or result and (2) incorrectly evaluating what step they're at. - Performance Routine - physically what I do and here's the key in a rhythmic, fun, free way. - Called Quantum Performance because Quantum is looking for underlying principles that help us organize chaotic environments --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/solomon-ezra-berezin/support

Show Notes Background Main reason he connected back to religion and God was through spiritual experiences Take the things he enjoyed and elevate it to a Godly experience How the spiritual experiences guided him to a religious observance? Difference between Spirituality and Godliness/Holiness How do I take the feeling and permeate the physical with it How is sitting on a mountain top meditating all day any different than sitting and studying Torah all day? In all your ways know God — Baal Shemtov Running & Returning

Show Notes: Two States of Consciousness - Ebb & Flow/ Ratzo V'Shuv The rhythm of life is comprised of Ratzo V'Shuv Ezekiel Chapter 1: The angelic beings are running and they're returning The heart contracts and then expands, the inhale and exhale of the breath We often get stuck in wanting to be in one place but only when we embrace the value of the paradox can we actually begin to suck the marrow out of life and live every moment to its fullest. Rabbi YY's background growing up and being at the feet of the Lubavitcher Rebbe at a young age [7:34] He memorized and transcribed many of the Rebbe's discourses How he was able to memorize the discourses? Total suspension of any other mental noise. Tuning in completely to the words and the energy. If not now, when? — Hillel How to keep the relationship with a great leader pure? "It's easy for people to lose their individuality and use the great leader as a substitute for developing themselves to their own maximum" There are leaders who create followers, but the greatest leaders create leaders — Rabbi Jonathan Sacks You have to find your own relationship with God, with yourself, and realize you have a mission in this world that no one else can fulfill. You are an indispensable note in the divine symphony and the music, only your soul's violin can play How to Apply and Personalize Great Ideas Law about a Bull who domesticates other animals 3x... (Tractate Baba Kama) "If you sell the bull or gift it to another person, the calculation start over again..." We each have a bull in our own lives... This law tells us how to recover from addiction There are 2 ways for recovery: train the bull and retrain it to not goring — working with the habit sell it — surrender it to the domain of God then everything changes Approach to Judaism: Living with the observances and not being absorbed by them - Distinguishing not being a fanatic & Addiction [39 min] Approach with laws (Halacha) like in a sports game or following notes in a symphony The Baal Shemtov said that Halacha (Law) is an acronym of 4 words in Psalms: Ariyu LaShem Kol Ha'Aretz meaning Let the whole world Sing to God. The details are channels for vibration of the Divine Ebb & Flow. When it is stripped from the symphony it can be restrictive, so it's important to have the bird's eye view of Judaism, appreciate its full tapestry, the fusion between the revealed and the esoteric, the body and the soul. Then the details become the notes of a Balad Approach it not from a judgmental way. It's an invitation that by playing these notes you can channel this energy through your pschye, your brain, your body, your home. Jewish Law is describing the spiritual science of the Universe. How it applies to Kosher and not mixing meat and milk [46:15] Graduate the judgmental model into a model of opportunity to be able to live a meaningful and productive life Balancing transcending things with doing the things according to Torah (or interpretations of what the Torah means) Tanya chapter 31: Distinguishing between Atzmut (guilt, depression) and Merirut (remorse with a resolution for the future). You're not allowed to gossip about other people. You're also not allowed to gossip about yourself — Chofetz Chaim Use the 'mistake' as a springboard for awareness What it means to reveal Godliness in the world?

The way magicians think Most people when they come across a problem they can’t solve, they say it’s impossible and they stop. That’s where Magicians start, they think of the impossible and figure it out. It’s a mindset to think about impossible things and then bring them into a theatrical reality Wouldn’t it be cool if... Create predictable outcomes to ensure a magical moment Multiple Outs - steer the conclusion of an effect based upon the audiences input. You’re prepared for any situation, and can create the impression that that’s the desired effect all the while. Planning in advance for an opportunity to arise.

Background what led to the growing interest in Kabbalah, writing books, and IYYUN center My objective in life is to live. That's the biggest thing in life is to be alive. And Part of being alive was to not only understand what's going in world and spiritually understand the inner working of the world, but also to share it. All his great grandfathers were ChaBaD. They were famous spiritual teachers and guides. Everything in life has to come from within. You have to feel like somehow that you need to do this, the strong desire to share is overflowing within you.= It's about spiritually growing from within and living by example, and from that everything naturally flows outward as oppose to choosing a certain path and saying this is what I want to do in this world There's a deep part of us that's broken and an even deeper part of us that's very whole... The place of wholeness is where you're full and redeemed. Believe that it's a possibility Identify as the person beyond the struggle His series of books on meditation - tools to recognize who you are & what's your true identity Meditation, Prayer, & Shabbat With all the knowledge you have shared about being the creator of one's life, for example, then what is unique about Shabbat? Since, I can control my thoughts and over practice harness an elevated state of being, couldn't a person maintain an inner state of Shabbat regardless of the external laws? "in simple definition, you could create spaces within time and space, your own consciousness where there's a certain oasis you go inward and that's your place of wholeness and you connect with that. It can be in a day, throughout time, but the mystics will say that's actually Shabbat. What you're actually doing is accessing Shabbat in the week." There's no day, Sunday, Monday, but day 1 to Shabbat, day 2 to shabbat, which means Shabbat is the essence of all time. There's flow of time, duality of time, and there's the point of time - the stillness within all of time. Mitzvahs & Teshuva (return) Are mitzvahs just connections or much deeper? The Purpose of a Mitzvah is to connect you to the Commander of the Mitzvah The Kotzker Rebbe said it's possible a mitzvah can become idol worship because you're so connected to the detail you forget this detail is a passageway that's allowing you to enter into a place of transcendence Enter everything with Intention & the art of transitioning The person who invests in the eruv shabbat is someone who can really reap the benefits of Shabbat. The journey is the destination itself Equanimity Hishtavut from the Sheviti Hashem - I place Hashem before me at all times two descriptions about this experience A student's teacher asking if he reached a state where everything is equal Baal ShemTov - equanimity is relatable to food.

Topics of Discussion & Show Notes Rabbi Taub's background that led to becoming a well known, influential Rabbi and how it led to writing God of our Understanding "fascinated by human insights found in Torah, especially Chassidic teachings, and what they teach us about how people work... and how we can best fit ourselves for service." At age of 20 he came across the Book of Tanya, by Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi the founder of Chabad. He felt like an observer and wanted to become more of a student of life. Obvious to you. Amazing to Others -- Derek Sivers The Book of Tanya as a way to understand reality & How he cultivated the perspective he shares we intuitively sense the truth and the genius is in how to give it the proper words. Personalizing information & keys to happiness Tanya is about distinguishing between emotions and behaviors "The AR classifies thought as a behavior. There's impulse for thought, which we can't really control... but we can control what we think about." what are we going to choose to meditate on. I can't choose what I think of, but I can choose what I think about. Wisdom compared with Torah Wisdom The Wisdom of Maimonides: Truth is independent of its presenter (Mishneh Torah, book 14, treatise 17, 24:1) "Go to your faith tradition - if you're not finding it compelling. It probably hasn't been presented properly to you." "If you have a jewish soul, then your soul is going to be compatible with a jewish spiritual path." God of Our Understanding & Addiction Defining Addiction and how it is a state of being; and the process of breaking (releasing) habits how to get out of addiction if someone is using holy objects as escape from reality?

Background that led to becoming a transformational coach and meditation coach How she spent 6 years in India at an Ashram where it was taught to train the body to be submissive to the mind. A voice came through in meditation that told her to go to Israel. Within 30 minutes she booked a flight to Israel. when you let go of the how, Source shows up big time and takes care of the details for you Her Connection with Judaism before going to India The Hebrew name is a person's essence and reciting the Shema every night while in India What is idol worship and what happened at the Ashram When and how she got to Israel Magnetic pull to Jerusalem With your understanding of meditation and manifesting, plus being in control of our thoughts, what is still attracting to living an orthodox life and with modesty? Coming to Torah While the eastern culture focused on transcending the physical - celibacy, living without solid food, without sleep, etc - what drew her to Torah and Judaism was that it is a place where Heaven and Earth kiss, the spiritual meets physical Manifestation through a Torah Lens co-creating with God. My job is to get out of my own way, so God can shower me with miracles Setting a clear intention Manifesting through a Torah Lens allows God to be present in all that she teaches How Torah made manifesting easier In India the relationship with manifesting was "look what I manifested." It felt very ego-centric. When I came to Israel and learned manifestation through a Jewish lens, it allowed just me to relax so much more into the receiving part of receiving the miracles because I realized God's creativity is so much more creative than anything my human mind can possibly come up with in terms of the how trusting in Hashem's creation and not needing to set an intention — "ultimately God knows what I want, but if Hashem was in control and just gave everyone what they want 24/7, then there'd be no reason to create us in the first place...where we have no free will." A Mindset of lack creates more lack, a mindset of abundance creates more abundance When people go to pray it usually comes in the form of begging, complaining, crying from a place of lack, but when you're asking from lack what is communicated is that the person doesn't believe in God' Infiniteness and that He can create any possibility for the person. Ayelet's Meditation practice She spends 21 minutes doing visualization. She writes her intention, any doubts or blockages that she believes are stopping her from already having the desire be manifest, then 21 minutes envisioning herself in that future as if its already hers. as a daily practice 21 minutes is a magic number.

Show Notes: Background and how Jason became an international and transformational speaker, trainer, coach, author and host "Don't have to be a prisoner of circumstance, but a self leader in my life" transformational theme that when actually practiced has massive implications for how life feels How he got through the challenging, intense periods? His own coaching experience "What I know to be true is that resistance to change is the #1 reason transformation doesn't occur "sitting in the fire" Lowering the resistance to what it may look like. When we lower the significance, than it doesn’t have to feel like fire, it may be uncomfortable, but if it's looked at through the lens as speaking a new language it will be much lighter. Remove some significance: "if I never change anything about myself I am still fine. I am enough." I remove all the heaviness of transformation and I can just play with it. Let's play with transformation instead of let's overcome every obstacle. Levity. Help client look at their own situation in a humorous way, make fun of their own fears. His most powerful coaching experience from his own coach: So much compassion for what you're putting yourself through right now. "There's never been anything in my life I've gone through that I haven't gotten through" There's a lesson in everything Byron Katie's The Work "Sometimes we overthink things, they are just the way they are." How Jason navigates out of "problems" Increase level of consciousness so we have creativity to solve it. Once that happens, there may actually be no more problem to solve. Story of Barbie doll "Transcend the fact that you think it's a problem" Present but irrelevant: having a feeling be present, but not a relevant part of my experience. Analogy of driving a car with an anxious person in the passenger seat. No matter how that person feels, the car still works the same. It doesn’t have to affect how I drive the car. As long as it's not an in order to . If we try to eliminate the symptom than it's motive based. If I accept it so I can get rid of it, than I haven't really accepted it. Jeff Foster - Falling in Love with Where You Are: "It's not about immunity from stress, but navigation of them when they show up. The less we make them a problematic thing we have to get rid of, the sooner they'll move on on their own." Why Advise s against trying to let things go because it still has a implication of trying to make something happen There's not a right and wrong way to transform "Every system is perfect for the result that it's getting"If you like the result than don't change anything, if you don't than change the system. PBQ's : Prison Break Questions A format for a question that takes something that is a problem and makes it no longer problematic If I knew x, what would I do….How would I show up/respond differently? "if you're experiencing anxieties, its because you're engaging with life, doing something in the world." Usually it’s a good sign because it's something triggered because there's a next level of leadership for you to step into Whenever you feel you're in a funk, go be of service What to look for in a coach the way they see the world is a way you want to see your world. The right coach will ask a question like: "why do you want a coach?" What's the hard part? I'd love to do x, but it's hard to do y
