Fulfilling Our Deepest Needs

Humans have eight emotional needs that must be fulfilled in one way or another - healthy or unhealthy. In this broadcast, I speak about this in relation to three couples and one individual receiving Emuna Coaching. I'm bringing this to you, courtesy of Breslev Israel. It's our gift to you!

The 8 Essential Human Needs

I have found everything that I need for a good life in the writings of my beloved Rebbe, Rabbi Shalom Arush -  may he be blessed with good health and long years. 

According to Rabbi Arush, every person regardless of age, gender or ethnic background was created with a deep need for the following:

1.  Faith   2.  Gratitude   3. Truth   4. Specialness 5. Purpose and Meaning  6. Self-Improvement   7. Love and Relationship 8. Courage.

By learning to recognize and meet these needs in yourself and your loved ones you will be guaranteed the ultimate good and happiness of this world and the next. That's why they are the foundation of our Emuna Coaching programs. 

Have a blessed day!

Power Parenting

The Ballen family moved last week and I didn't have much time to prepare for this broadcast - so I used the time I had to pray - Hashem answered me with loving-kindness -  and I think it's one of my best. I hope you enjoy it!

Every Blessing,

The Ultimate Marriage

Peace in the home ranks first in importance when it comes to serving Hashem. Marital peace is the primary receptacle of Divine Illumination in the world. The happier the marriage, the more the couple actually feels Hashem's presence in their midst.  Anyone who faithfully follows our guidelines for marriage is guaranteed to taste the sweetness of true marital bliss.

Carry this prayer by Rabbi Arush with you and read it whenever you need inspiration. Men or women can use this: 

Master of the Universe, have mercy on my wife/husband, on my children, on me, and on all those who are dependent on me.  Let me understand that my happiness and success depends on my wife's/husband's happiness, namely, that she/he feels that she's/he's the most important part of my life.  Master of the Universe, have mercy on me and instill in my heart an abundance of love for my wife/husband, a love that is greater than anything in the world. Have mercy on me so that my heart won't tempt me in any way whatsoever. Help me to successfully withstand all the trials and tests that come my way, and that I will always place my wife/husband and her/his needs, aspirations, and desires above everything else.  Let me internalize the knowledge that this is Your desire in Your Divine wisdom. Let my wife/husband feel that she's/he's truly the most important part of my life.

Every Blessing,

Dr. Zev Ballen

Marital Guidance

There are extreme fundamental differences between a man and a woman. Few people appreciate how extreme these differences are. A man's way of thinking and his emotional functioning is different than a woman's. They see the world in different ways, react differently to situations, and have different priorities and values. Without understanding what make each other tick, they are bound to make big mistakes without even understanding what they are doing wrong.

If people would realize the tremendous difference between the spiritual and mental make-up of men and of women, they would certainly seek a capable person that could teach them how to successfully live together.

Even great rabbis with vast knowledge in different branches of the Torah sometimes don't understand why they should need marital guidance, especially when those giving the guidance may be far less learned than they are in other areas of Torah knowledge.

- Rabbi Shalom Arush

Start Your Day Right

 

Start your day with an emotional and spiritual boost that conditions you for continuous growth and movement toward your ideals.

• Take a deep breath, close your eyes and see a big, bright, clear picture of just how you would like to live your day today.
• Take a deep breath, exhale fully and step into that picture or "video" in you mind so you are there in the posture that you would  have and you have the facial expression and the breathing pattern that you would have if Hashem would give you the day you want to live today.
• Tell Hashem that you know this all depends on Him and that you trust that He wants you to be fulfilled and successful today.
• Thank Hashem in advance for helping you to achieve your goal.

Have a great day!

One Choice

People who are sincerely seeking a real connection with G-d often ask me. "What am I doing wrong? Why am I still so far from living the spiritual life of emuna that I really want to be living? " When I get to know these people, I often discover that they are faithfully practicing daily personal prayer, and seem to be utilizing our books, articles and CD's. So I asked myself: "What's missing here? How is it possible that people whose lives are seemingly immersed in emuna are not feeling fulfilled? Read about it in: One Choice.
