Episode notes
Illness As A Spiritual Turning Point
- Rebbitzen Orit Esther Riter described her MS diagnosis while pregnant and being wheelchair-bound before healing practices helped her recover mobility.
- She framed the illness as a divine 'welcome home' that launched deep spiritual and healing work rooted in emunah and surrender.
Surrender And Request Guidance
- Surrender actively: tell Hashem you accept the situation and ask for guidance instead of only complaining.
- Use 'holy chutzpah' to demand clarity about your soul's mission and request replenishment of your inner toolbox.
Meditation Needs A Higher Anchor
- Jewish meditation must return the person to the higher self (Hashem) rather than pure nothingness to avoid empowering the ego.
- Without reconnecting to the Ani, empty-state meditation risks making the self the center and increasing selfishness.
