Nina Amir's Thoughts on Human Potential, Personal Growth and Practical Spirituality
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 [...]
As I wrote in yesterday’s post, we must give as well as receive. The two are integrally connected. Indeed, when we give, we open ourselves to receiving. We also become “like God,” since God is the Giver and we are the receivers. We, therefore, move closer to God, reducing the separation we tend to feel [...]
One of the major premises in my work, both my writing and teaching, revolves around the need to give as well as to receive. The two are integrally connected. Indeed, when we give, we open ourselves to receiving. Yet, we don’t want to give in order to receive. When we give, we make room to [...]

They had hope and faith and a miracle occurred. Plus, during the rededication of [...]
Two weeks ago I attended the San Francisco Writing for Change Conference. There I met an amazing woman: Cami Walker. She authored the book 29 Gifts and started 29Gifts.org. Cami lives with the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. While she suffers from many of the symptoms and for a while could hardly walk, she now mostly [...]
The other day I read something interesting: According to Jewish teaching, two types of “good” exist. There is objective good and subjective good. When we desire good things and long for good things and try to manifest good things in our life–or things we perceive or judge as “good,” fall into the category of subjective [...]
For those of you who know nothing about The Kabbalah of Conscious Creation, or the coaching programs I offer in conjunction with this booklet, I’ve decided to begin offering a monthly audio coaching tip here. This gives you a chance to experience what Kabbalistic conscious creation coaching is all about. This month we will start [...]
This evening begins the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah. Jews all over the world will go to synagogue and pray, beginning the yearly cycle of teshuvah, or return. Return to what?
