Nina Amir's Thoughts on Spirituality, Judaism, Human Potential, Personal Growth, and Living Fully
I’ve written about fear a lot, however, when a magnitude 8.8 earthquake hits somewhere in the world, in this case in Chile, it brings up some fear in me. You see, I live in California. My home sits between two fault lines.
The earthquake in Haiti brought up some fear, too. So do the little tremblors [...]
Do you think your prayers fall on deaf ears? Do you pray and pray and pray, all the while thinking that no one hears your words? Do you look around and see that nothing changes despite your prayers? Do you wonder why you can’t hear God responding to your requests?
Today, get really quiet. Listen hard. [...]
Today, on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Jews can have a dream, too. We can dream of peace in Israel. We can dream of religious equality for Jews all over the world. We can dream of an end to anti-Semitism. (For more on this, click here.) We also can have more personal dreams.

Today I pondered the benefits of being gullible, this after being approached by a scammer this past week and by being told that Facebook would donate money to Haiti if I posted a particular status message today.

As Jews all around the world prepare for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, astrologers are watching as the new moon rises and six planets align in Virgo. What does this mean to us?
It means that not only are we entering into the most holy 10 days of the Jewish year, a time of introspection, soul [...]
I often teach the wisdom of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov. And I always say I teach what I need most to learn — as I think he might have said when it came to the subject of being happy. Many experts on Rebbe Nachman claim he lived most of his life in a struggle with [...]
Are you living your dream or dreaming your life? While Law of Attraction proponents would say that dreaming your life will create it, you might spend a lot of time dreaming — visualizing and combining thought and feeling — and never actually living your life — taking action and doing what you want to do.

I’m so struck today by the fact that worry constitutes just another form of negative thinking. In this current economy, many of us are stuck worrying – and thinking negatively. Thus, we create just what we don’t want.
