Nina Amir's Thoughts on Human Potential, Personal Growth and Practical Spirituality
I spent my last evening in Germany having dinner with some of my husband’s colleagues. He’d been to Berlin on business. I’d tagged along to visit my son in Dresden. The conversation turned briefly to the fact that three of us would be flying the next day—December 21, 2012. Someone joked, “I wonder if you’ll [...]
My flight for Newark, NJ, took off almost an hour and 45 minutes late. Or maybe it was on time. The exact moment of flight was 12:12 p.m. EST on 12/12/12. The world did not end. In fact, in that moment I felt everything was beginning anew. And a huge wave of gratitude swept over [...]
I spend so much of my time doing things to try and get noticed. Promote, promote, promote. With my new book coming out soon, I feel the pressure to make myself seen and heard all the more intensely. Yet, truth be told, most days I feel quite alone. I make the effort to reach out [...]
When recently have you experienced pure joy? I had to ask myself this very question as I watched a recent episode of Oprah Winfrey’s new Lifeclass. Leave it to Oprah to get me thinking. In this Lifeclass she showed several episodes of the Oprah Show when people experienced “joy rising,” including one I wrote about [...]
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 [...]
The winter holiday season offers us a wonderful time to focus on hope, faith and miracles. Chanukah revolves around the idea of miracles—a small band of Jews fought against a large army while trying to preserve their religious freedom and won. 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 [...]
Most people feel hard pressed to give even a dollar to the person collecting money outside the grocery store for charity or to the homeless person standing at the corner near the traffic signal. Their own sense of lack—their fear that they don’t have enough or won’t have enough—causes them not to reach into their [...]
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. Do you [...]
