Blessing for Elul
 

I send prayers for blessings of holy grace from God's land in the Galilee to bless our life on Earth with the gifts of love, spiritual growth, and the healing of our minds, hearts, bodies, and spirits. Sacred essences, please continue to illuminate us, nurture us, guide us, inspire us, and shine love, life, joy, friendship, and peace into our lives, our families, our communities, and our world. Amen.

Let's affirm and unite our human tribe with a global goodwill message of oneness, love, hope, and peace for people of all faiths, Nature, Mother Earth, the Universe, and for
all future generations. 
God bless us all.
Amen.

Crystalize Our Best

*Pack your bags 
אֱלוּל

Elul is one of the most elevated months in the Hebrew calendar. The month of Elul is a gateway, opening to a very meaningful time in the yearly cycle and in Jewish spirituality. Elul marks a time of repentance in preparation for the High Holy Days, celebrated in the following month, Tishrei.


Elul is the last month in the Jewish year and is known for spiritual rituals which are very powerful in accessing and integrating natural cosmic quantum energies. These rituals activate our will and empower us to connect with the
Divine Source of Oneness.

*Light our faith and bless us all, Amen.
Elul is a Call for Awakening
 

We are being called to awaken our spirits' longing to unite with the Source of Holy of all Holies. During Elul, we blast our horn--the shofar every morning (except on Shabbat) from Rosh Chodesh Elul, which is the beginning of the month, until the day before Rosh Hashanah. The shofar blasts are meant to inspire us to begin the soul searching to draw close to God in preparation for the coming Day of Judgement, Rosh Hashanah, which is the Jewish New Year, and Day of Atonement, the Holiest day in Judaism, Yom Kippur. These holidays provide a God given way for humankind to come back into harmonious relation with the Divine, within ourselves, and with our families, friends, and communities.
 

*A Time of Preparation
Healing of a Nation
 

Elul is a time of spiritual preparation for entering the New Year for each one of us and as a whole, as one united tribe--the tribe of Yisrael. Tradition teaches that on Rosh Hashanah, each person is written down for a good or a poor year, based on their actions in the previous one, and their sincere efforts at atoning for mistakes, sins, or harm. 


It's a time of awakening to our day-to-day actions, thoughts, and intentions in order to seek the strength to ask and grant  forgiveness. This cycle, originated thousands of years ago, involves renewal, spiritual growth, contrition, and purification for the coming New Year. As individuals and as a nation, we are guided by moral and universal core values as codified in the Ten Commandments.

*Aligning our Intentions
Seeking for Forgiveness
 

Elul's significant ritual practice is to recite selichot, which are penitential poems and prayers that are usually recited between midnight and dawn. The Thirteen Attributes of Mercy are a central theme throughout these prayers, which are said in the period leading up to the Holy High Holidays, and on Fast Days.


These selichot hold the magic of shining frequencies that are associated with forgiveness, love of God, peace, and a holistic soulful way of healing our being. These prayers uplift our spirit, give us strength, nurture hope, and align our thoughts and actions toward a positive mindset of love, mercy, goodness, and goodwill. 


These essences embody the Divine magic that feeds our souls, elevates our spirits, and fills our hearts with elements of faith, wholeness, hope, and harmony. ♥

כְּתִיבָה וַחֲתִימָה טוֹבָה
 

During the month of Elul we greet each other with wishes for a good year. The standard Hebrew blessing is "K'tiva VeChatima Tovah," which translates to English as, "A good writing and sealing of judgement." This prayer asks that the person be written and sealed in the Book of Life for a good, blessed year.
