The days between July 11 - August 1, 2017 are known as Yamei Ben HaMetzarim, roughly translated as, "Days of Narrowness" or simply put, “The Three Negative Weeks.”
Kabbalists consider this time to be the most challenging days of the year and potentially, the most rewarding. The Zohar explains that the spiritual ozone layer that normally surrounds us is temporarily removed. This lack of a filter results in concentrated Light permeating us directly. Without proper restriction, we are unable to handle this infusion of energy. Throughout history, this has resulted in wars and large-scale calamities.
However, if we set an intention to share with others and express unconditional love, the Light available can awaken us from our slumber of routine and complacency. By maintaining unconditional love and the desire to share for the benefit of others, especially when we are angry, we can generate enormous goodness on a personal and global level.
Kabbalists prescribe scanning the special meditation below, as well as the letters of the month, as often as possible. Print it out and carry it with you. Share it with friends and family. Before you scan, envision troubled areas in your personal life and around the globe. Imagine sending Light and love to those dark places.
