In this chabura we continue speaking about Shovavim in a very deep way. The fallen sparks that dwell in the mind. There are two levels of simcha: one in the mind and one in the heart. When one is able to be bsimcha on these two levels he gains control of his mind, can settle his mind, and gather the holy sparks that are scattered.
This is the first chabura in the sugya of shovavim. We learn from Tinyana 10 of Likutei Moharan and delve into the main tikkun of Shovavim. This class includes how to control one’s mind, how to settle one’s mind, and more.
