Week 06 of 8
Tears
Let what overflows be prayer, not apology.
In the sitting
No agenda. If tears come, they are received. If they do not, silence is enough.
Ritual
Letting the Tears Be Prayer
- 1Sit with Hashem in stillness. Don't bring an agenda or a goal.
- 2If emotion rises — let it. Don't redirect it. Don't manage it. Don't apologize for it.
- 3Whisper: Dim'ati lecha — My tears are for You.
- 4Know that each tear is received. Every single one. None are lost.
Dim'ati lecha is a prayer of this guidebook, not a pasuk.
Between weeks
- One sitting with Hashem without a goal.
- If emotion rises, do not manage it. Dim'ati lecha — if the words are true.
