Sacred Time Adar II

March 18, 2022 • Living Jewishly • Episode 70

“How do we integrate in the way that we are constantly living in relationship to these sweet, high moments that we have?”

— Bluth

How do we integrate the experiences of Purim into our every day? And what lessons can we learn from the month of Adar II?

This year, we celebrate two months of Adar, the last month of the Hebrew calendar. It is a month of laughter and joyful chaos, one that holds the infinitude of G-d in its very name. After a month of such intensity and abundance, we need effective ways to integrate our experiences — and work through our “Purim hangovers!”

This episode of the Living Jewishly Podcasts is an instalment of Sacred Time, a podcast exploring the healing art of the Hewbrew calendar.

In this episode, Bluth and Ganga Devi explore how to better integrate delight into soft daily experiences, how to open our hearts to the immense pain and joy in the world, and the deep connections between those emotions.

Bonus: this episode also contains a beautiful, healing, immersive sound journey, created with intention for this month.

“In the absence of G-d being explicitly present in any particular way… the body of what is unfolding is the body of G-d, is the presence of G-d.”

— Ganga Devi
