Nina Amir's Thoughts on Human Potential, Personal Growth and Practical Spirituality
2012. The world was supposed to end, some said. (We knew better.) But things were supposed to change–the energy was supposed to change, at least. A whole week has gone by. We are being flooded now with the light of the first full moon of this pivotal year, which is supposed to affect our consciousness [...]
Many of us get stuck in the past. By that I mean we end up living our life looking backward at things that happened in our lives and regretting them. Some call this “looking in the rear view mirror.” I call it living life looking backward. Here’s the thing: No matter what bad thing happened [...]
I woke today at 5 a.m. in California worrying. “I should get up and check the news,” I thought. “I should be sure everything is okay in New York.” Both my children are in New York. But I don’t like to focus on the negative.I try not to worry (although I’m a worrier and was [...]
People come into our lives in all sorts of ways. Some are born into our lives. We are born into the lives of others, thus they become part of our lives. And some walk into our lives due to the places we go and and the experiences we have. In all cases, we have to [...]
Sometimes life just hands you situations and you simply do what’s necessary. Or at least you begin taking steps to do what you think might be necessary. Then you watch, wait, listen to see if the pieces fall into place. A friend reminded me of Angeles Arrien’s teaching: Show up. Pay attention. Speak your truth. [...]
During her last show, Oprah Winfrey’s said, “Each one of you has a platform, your circle of influence.” I wondered how many people heard that and took it to heart. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you do, you can create change in the world. You can teach your children, influence your neighbors, [...]
Did you know that anger just covers your hurt? That’s right. So, when you feel angry, you really feel hurt, which means you usually need to forgive someone for something. Once you forgive, your anger will dissipate…and you’ll change–not only from feeling angry to feeling more peaceful but into someone a bit different. Your heart [...]
My husband and I were discussing how we react to things that happen in our lives. We have very different approaches to what could be seen as “irritations” that occur. I tend to take what I call a more “spiritual” approach; he tend to take what I call a more “reactive” approach. I’m not saying [...]
Each year during the Passover holiday Jews tell the story of how the Pharaoh in Egypt enslaved the Israelites. Sometimes we talk about what modern day pharaohs exist in the world. I, however, think most of us live with personal pharaohs every day–those in our minds. I know I struggle with the chains put on [...]
Lately I’ve been feeling stuck. I want to be unstuck. Ever been there? I’ve tried prayer. I talked to God. I cried to God. I pleaded with God. I tried counseling. And I got really honest with myself and with others, baring my deepest feelings. Today in the car I decided to follow Rebbe Nachman [...]
