Week 02 of 8
Presence
Carry the stillness into one ordinary action.
In the sitting
Name one place you forget Hashem. Do not solve it. Set Shivisi there.
Ritual
Presence in One Action
- 1Choose one daily action — making coffee, opening a door, greeting someone you love.
- 2Before you begin: pause. One breath.
- 3Whisper: Shivisi Hashem l'negdi tamid — I set Hashem before me, always.
- 4Begin the action slowly. With the awareness that you are not alone in it.
Do this once a day. Then twice. The body learns by repetition. So does the soul.
Between weeks
- Choose one daily action. Pause. Whisper Shivisi Hashem l'negdi tamid. Begin slowly.
- Repeat the same action each day. The body learns by repetition.
