In this workshop, you will learn about the power of our thoughts and the energy we send out.

2. “The Healing Power of the Eye”

Many of us may not be aware how many halahot (Jewish Laws) are designed to protect us from projecting or receiving negative energy. In this workshop, you will study examples of such halachot, as well as Torah sources on the power of the human eye to send energy, and develop righteous eyes inspired by the eye of Tzaddikim. You will also practice (segulot) spiritual remedies for protection from Ayin Hara, reciting special protective prayers. This way you will learn how to guard ourselves and become less susceptible to Ayin Hara and negativity. Furthermore, you will engage in EmunaHealing exercises for sending positive healing energy through your eyes.

3. “Overcoming Negative Energy through our Hands and Spiritual Remedies”

It is well known that Ayin Hara only affects those who believe in it. On the other hand, the Torah, Talmud and halacha is replete with descriptions and examples of the existence of Ayin Hara and its negative effects. In this workshop, you will discuss the question of whether to believe or not believe in Ayin Hara. You will also learn to focus on the power of your hands in spiritual healing, including the importance of ritual handwashing – Netilat Yadayim for purifying the energy. Furthermore, you will explore the symbol of the hand (Chamsa) for spiritual protection and practice the Chamsa Energy spiritual healing exercise. You will learn to identify the five kinds of negative energies and how to overcome them, and learn about additional spiritual remedies such as how to use gemstones for spiritual protection and the procedure of removing Ayin Hara through lead – עוֹפֶרֶת/oferet. In addition, you will practice spiritual healing exercises for healing others from the effect of negative energies.

4. “The Magen David and its Protective Secrets”

In this workshop, you will learn in depth insights about the protective secrets of the ancient Magen David symbol. You will learn about the spiritual significance of the Magen David throughout the ages and study the connection between the Magen David and the Sefirot, and the concepts of Ohr Makif (Surrounding Lights) versus Ohr Penimi (Inner Lights). You will also learn to balance masculine and feminine energy as represented by the triangles in the Magen David. In addition, you will explore the triangle connection between Hashem, Torah, Israel, and prepare yourself for the coming of Mashiach through the secret Magen David connection.  The workshop includes guided meditations and spiritual healing exercises that access the protective power of the Magen David, and is enhanced by a colorful PowerPoint presentation.

5. “Dream Interpretation According to the Torah”

In this workshop, you will learn to recognize secrets about your own psyche through your dreams. You will study dream interpretation techniques from the Talmud through sources from the Bible and Talmud about dreams and their interpretation and amelioration. You will also receive practical tools for dream journaling and dream-interpretation. Dreams are communications between our conscious minds and our Neshama – soul, which dwells in the unconscious. It is through dreams that we communicate with all kinds of non-corporeal entities, disembodied spirits, angels or even G-d Himself. The holy Zohar states that “no occurrence materializes in the world that is not first revealed to one in a dream,” and that “the edicts of the Heavenly Court are first shown to people in dreams before the matter comes to pass.” Dreams implant a message deep within our psyche. When we awaken we may not know it, but the inner knowledge of our dreams may direct our thoughts, feelings and the course of the events in our lives. Cultivating awareness of the meaning of our dreams and their inherent power enables us to draw closer to our Creator.
