Atonement, Forgiveness, Gratitude, Move On

Eileen Lichtenstein — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 13:44:51 +0000

On the Hebrew Calender, in the Jewish religion, Yom Kippur, a day of atonement and fasting concludes the week starting with Rosh Hashanah , the Jewish New Year. It is a week of prayer and celebration, introspection, forgiveness and gratitude the last day of a week of introspection, forgiveness and gratitude concluding with fasting and atonement onYom Kippur concluding with the blowing of the Shofar (ram’s horn).

Yom Kippur

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yom Kippur (Hebrew: יוֹם כִּפּוּר or יום הכיפורים‎, IPA: [ˈjom kiˈpur]), Also known as Day of Atonement, is the holiest and most solemn day of the year for the Jews. Its central themes are atonement and repentance. Jews traditionally observe this holy day with a 25-hour period offasting and intensive prayer, often spending most of the day in synagogue services. Yom Kippur completes the annual period known inJudaism as the High Holy Days or Yamim Nora’im (“Days of Awe”).

Yom Kippur is the tenth day of the month of Tishrei. According to Jewish tradition, God inscribes each person’s fate for the coming year into a book, the Book of Life, on Rosh Hashanah, and waits until Yom Kippur to “seal” the verdict. During the Days of Awe, a Jew tries to amend his or her behavior and seek forgiveness for wrongs done against God (bein adam leMakom) and against other human beings (bein adam lechavero). The evening and day of Yom Kippur are set aside for public and private petitions and confessions of guilt (Vidui). At the end of Yom Kippur, one considers oneself absolved by God.

The Yom Kippur prayer service includes several unique aspects. One is the actual number of prayer services. Unlike a regular day, which has three prayer services (Ma’ariv, the evening prayer; Shacharit, the morning prayer; and Mincha, the afternoon prayer), or a Shabbat orYom Tov, which have four prayer services (Ma’ariv; Shacharit; Mussaf, the additional prayer; and Mincha), Yom Kippur has five prayer services (Ma’ariv; Shacharit; Musaf; Mincha; and Ne’ilah, the closing prayer). The prayer services also include a public confession of sins (Vidui) and a unique prayer dedicated to the special Yom Kippur avodah (service) of the Kohen Gadol in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

As one of the most culturally significant Jewish holidays, Yom Kippur is observed by many secular Jews who may not observe other holidays. Many secular Jews attend synagogue on Yom Kippur—for many secular Jews the High HolyDays are the only recurring times of the year in which they attend synagogue,^[1]—causing synagogue attendance to soar.

I find this week of tradition, feast and fasting, introspection and renewal totally congruent to my personal belief system and with prayers for world peace and resolution of the economic, political and environmental global crisis we find ourselves in.

L’shanah tovah (“for a good year”) to all!

Connecting Stress-Anger-Depression-Forgiveness-Gratitude

Eileen Lichtenstein — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 01:23:10 +0000

Connecting stress, anger, depression,forgiveness and gratitude is not difficult; each impacts the others in big ways. Starting with the end in sight :

Gratitude has been getting a lot of press in self-help/development curriculums because it is essential to acknowledge personal gratefuluness in several categories to help up your forgivess quotient and transform the others! Try this: Sit back, close your eyes and visualize everything you are grateful for including several categories:

personal attributes and abilities
people in your life
material things in your life
a lifestyle
environment

Let it free flow and then write them down in columns. Review this whenever you are feeling down, first thing in the morning and before bed.

Forgiveness of one’s self for wrong doings and poor attitudes is necessary before you can forgive others, as loving oneself must happen before you are able to love others. Forgiveness of heinous crimes is not possible for most people and not necessary. You do not need to let go of 100% anger/guilt to let go and move on. Try forgiving a percentage, and “work on it” through EFT, guided imagry and de-sensitization techniques, hypnosis, coaching, therapy to get the percentage higher. It can be helpful in acknowledging that those in question may have been doing the best they knew how or were capable of (due to personal history, mental capacity, mental illness).

Depression is almost always supressed, repressed, not communicated (or communicated partially) anger, with or without genetic tendencies.

Anger expressed at over-the-top levels results in socially unacceptable aggressive behavior that steps over physical and/or emotional boundaries (hitting-pushing-punching-pulling, property damage including throwing things, slamming doors and name calling, cursing-yelling. Health related symptoms of high anger and stress levels include high blood pressure, headaches, racing pulse, difficulty breathing, tight muscles.

Stress levels elevate when feeling out of control or “overwhelmed” and may cause someone to exhibit angrily acting out or be irritable. The flip side is a depressive episode.

It is important to remember that human beings are not perfect and we all “mess-up” at times. If you or someone you are close to experience any of the above on an ongoing basis or regularly, it is time to get help! Often learning simple coping strategies and techniques as well as how to communicate effectively is all you need to do- in conjunction with a practitioner you feel comfortable with and can create a trusting relationship with.
