96: Breath, Prayer, and Chassidus: Elevating Your Life with Rabbi Chay Amar
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. Authenticity of Torah continuing
Freedom is not a place on the map, it is a state of mind. Wealth is about giving.
