Tishrei is an incredible month that allows us to start over and begin from the beginning. The episode breaks down the month of Tishrei and its holidays and wisdom Elisheva is learning from her pregnancy and connects it to the unknown adventure of the upcoming year.
This episode shares Elul's unique opportunity to review your year, where you are at, and the hopes for the upcoming year. I opened up about how the practices of Elul gave me direction in my life, helping me understand who I am and the wisdom I have learned by going inward. I know it can be hard to take an honest look at yourself but just know that you are lucky to have what to work on and improve on. You have a chance to change your life and Hashem is providing you everything you need to do it. You just need the will and the action. May you have an insightful month.
Av is best known for the first 9 days of hardship with the lowest point in our calendar on the 9th of Av, Tisha B'Av which serves as our greatest loss of the two temples and the dwelling place of the Shechina. From this day forward, we are 7 shabbatot away from Rosh HaShana, and this notably shifts the energy from despair to love as we begin the first steps toward our soul's journey for the high holidays. In this episode, you will a secret of Av and just how we are meant to begin going inwards in preparation for Elul.

In this episode, I share with you a difficult time for our nation, the loss of our brothers and sisters lives due to terrorist attacks in Israel. I open up about my process of mourning, feeling, and emotions and learning how to incorporate the pain. I share the struggle of standing after falling, gathering the strength, and reviving my faith with the intention to give you strength and guidance, where ever you may be on your journey.
Chodesh Tammuz is known to be one of the most challenging months, but what makes it hard? The tests and the increased emotions? Yes BUT there is something else incredibly important that is hidden in Tammuz, the presence of the Shechina.
In this episode, you will learn about how to cope with Tammuz's difficulty and see it as an opportunity to really overcome old habits and move forward with your healing.

In the month of Sivan, we are gifted with a very special message and that is to learn about something by learning what it is not! By understanding what it means to be lost, we know what it means to be in the right place, and by knowing what it means to be sick, we can know what healthy is. Sivan is the month that we learn how two opposites come together to produce an outcome and this is why the Torah was given in Sivan and not any other month - because it can teach us this lesson. In this episode, you will learn about Sivan and its incredible meaning as well as how to notice Sivan's energy in your life.

It is not a coincidence you have been feeling extremely reactive and angry. The first 9 days of Av are challenging and the hardest time of the year. Our sages teach that in the month of Av, we are to decrease our happiness and dive into the deep world of unpleasant feelings. Sometimes the deepest work comes from doing the darkest work. Av teaches us polarity. On one side, we have the energy of destruction; on the other, we have the energy of unification. When learning about the energy of the month, you learn how to optimize your time and navigate it. No matter if you were born in this month or not, everyone is affected by the energy of the month. To learn about the energy of the month according to Kabbalah, be sure to listen to the episode.
In this week's episode, Elisheva is joined by sound and vibrational healer and meditation guide, Julia. Together they explore how sound helps people enter a deeper state of meditation and healing. Through Kabbalah, Julia reveals the secret to healing, love. Sound healing uses crystal bowls that are tuned to a specific frequency to help center meditators during the practice. Each person can feel energy or the vibes of a situation or person. Julia breaks down these concepts to help people become the architect of their own healing. Thanks to the unique sound bowl's frequency, spiritual cycles, meditation practice, and Torah you can access ultimate healing with the love frequency. Love is the ultimate form of medicine for healing and our antidote during challenges. Through true love, there is a pure union of the soul and God. You learn that everything happens for your soul's growth and you can notice more abundance in your life.

Elisheva is joined by Dr. Talie Kramer that focuses her practice on integrative medicine. Dr. Talie explores taking deep healing by introducing us to her method - the 4 body system. Here, she teaches what it is and how you can easily do it, anytime or anywhere. The 4 body system gives a name, feeling, and expression to the different parts of yourself and these are the physical body, emotional body, mental body, and spiritual body (there is also the sexual body that Dr. Talie introduces). The 4 body system is a great method and tool for healing practitioners and people on a healing journey that want to explore the depths and root causes of pain and trauma.
Check out Dr. Talie's book here:

Elisheva is joined by Avigail Sapir, a Judaic and spiritual artist to explore healing with art. Healing comes in many ways and art is one way to explore your inner world. Avigal shares her journey in healing with art and brings to the table ways to overcome focusing on the end result and instead brings the focus to the process of self-exploration. Art can be intimidating because we tend to doubt and judge ourselves. When you allow yourself to become free with no judgment and connect to your creative channel, it is a great way to express your emotions without words, process complex feelings, and find relief. Avigail shares practical and excellent tools to help start your journey in healing with art without judging yourself and your art and change your perspective to focus on self-preception and healing.

Family healing is tough and can get ugly.

Every month there is an energy shift. This month is no different. In the Hebrew calendar, we are now in the month of Tammuz. According to Kabbalah, Tammuz is one of the hardest months. In this episode, I share some insight into the Hebrew month and its energy. Tammuz corresponds to the astrological sign of Cancer. In Tammuz we experience less light and more difficulty however, it is within the hardship we can find our biggest blessings. Tammuz is known to be very emotional. During this month, explore your emotions and learn to open your heart to expand your ability to love even the darkest parts of yourself. If you find yourself struggling with emotions, just know they are meant to be felt and to be let go. Take deep breaths. One day at a time.
Hendy Metuka Israel joins this week's episode in sharing her personal story of taking ownership of her life and the tools she used to help her through life's most difficult experiences. Healing from within is a personal journey, it looks and feels different to every person. Hendy and Elisheva pore over starting a healing journey by shifting from victim to accountable. This mindset shift can generate many opportunities for healing that are not indeed easy such as, needing to learn how to take accountability for your life. As part of taking accountability, learning to forgive yourself and welcome all parts of yourself, even your most darkest - is part of the process. Hendy and Elisheva provide you with the tools that have worked and still work for them in meeting their darkest parts, loving them, and getting to them (IFS).
Ayala Friedman joins Elisheva in sharing her personal healing journey, learning important lessons about taking care of herself, and balancing motherhood in the process. In this episode, Ayala and Elisheva explore self-care as a priority and not as something being selfish. Ayala and Elisheva express the importance of continuous self-renewal as a form of self-care so that you can constantly keep moving forward without being stuck in the past. Ayala shares a major lesson she learned when we recently gave birth - surrender. Learning to go with the waves of life can reveal the greatest lessons that our soul needs to grow through. As humans, we naturally create the ideal outcome in our mind, and sometimes, God has a different plan and this plan is better than the one we could ever think about, even though at the moment it doesn't seem like it.
Sonja Forster, a physiotherapist specializing in women's health and the pelvic floor is very passionate about women's health and sharing it with more women. In this episode, Sonja joins Elisheva on a very important topic - women's health and the connection of self-love. Self-love is a love language that you have with yourself and it's very common for women to not prioritize their wellbeing. In this episode, Sonja shares her personal story and connection to women's health, the importance of physical healing, and living with chronic pain.
From this episode, you will learn to heal your shame around getting help for your body, how physical pain is connected to emotional wellbeing, steps to healing from within, and the motivation to keep moving forward while validating yourself.
Maya Leiber, an Astrologist and Spiritual Life Coach, joins Elisheva in talking about astrology, its role in our life, and the energy of the month. This episode, you will learn the fundamentals of astrology and how it's unique to everyone. Together, Maya and Elisheva explore balancing feelings of uncertainty with connecting to your truth and self-expression. Here you will learn the signs of being in your truth (or not) as well as the tools you need to move through uncertain times and ground yourself to ultimately live in alignment with your truth.
In this episode of Elevate with Elisheva, Dan Martin makes an appearance to discuss healthy confrontation and communication in a relationship. Together, Elisheva and Dan explore these topics while giving practical and valuable guidance and tools on confronting your partner, S.O., friend, family member, or boss. In this episode, you will learn the importance of getting clear with yourself first, confronting with compassion, and being open to listening to what each person says.
Rosh Chodesh marks the birth of the new month. According to Kabbalah, each month has its own unique energy, and this week, we celebrate the new month of Sivan. Every month has its own challenges, energy shift, and tools to navigate the month. Sivan is the month of Gemini, the month of duality. We also received the Torah this month and this is known as the holiday of Shavuot. In this episode, you will learn Kabbalistic secrets about this month and the ways to elevate it.
Meditation is medicine. Meditation allows you to process emotional events, gain clarity, grow your confidence, increase focus, and so much more. At first, meditation can seem 'boring' and 'pointless' if you don't know what to do. Meditation is an internal process where you meet yourself. The benefits of meditation are phenomenal and truly appear when you commit to the practice. In this episode, I share my story about meditation, how it continuously helps me, the benefits you can receive, and how to start a practice.
In the spirit of Iyar, I am focusing the next few weeks on my favorite topic - healing. Movement is one of the most extraordinary medicines and tool for healing that I personally do every day. In this episode, I talk about how movement is a healing tool, what you can gain from it, how it helped me, and how you can get started with intentional movement.
Healing is not easy. Healing is a beautiful process of commitment and recommitment to yourself and your wellbeing. In this episode, you receive a beginner's guide to starting your own healing journey. Healing can come off as sounding super pleasant or maybe a one-time thing but in full disclosure, healing takes continuous effort and it can be pretty painful. If you don't know what to expect, where to begin your healing journey, or simply want to remember why you started your healing journey, this is for you. Learning the tools to heal are tools for LIFE! To feel is to heal, to love the darkest parts of yourself is true self-love, and to establish a healthy relationship with yourself is to heal - and these are things you can learn, anytime.
Learn about the energy update for the month Iyar, the zodiac sign Taurus, and the Hebrew letters relating to this month. Learning about the energy of the month according to Kabbalah is a navigation system to guide us towards stepping into our light and greatness.
Rosh Chodesh reminds us to keep moving forward and restart. Iyar is a month packed with light and a time to nurture the seeds you planted in the winter months before the harvest in the coming month.
Leveling up to our greatest selves is not a seamless process (most of the time at least). There is always inner work that needs to occur to truly liberate yourself and step into your power. An insight from Kabbalah teaches that when you are leveling up, you are exposed to situations that call for you to respond differently. Sometimes, you might also experience over-thinking and actually hold yourself back. This week's episode explores leveling up and how it can manifest in your life. Through personal stories, I share some tough moments I experienced in the past week and how I navigated through the challenges.
In this week's episode, Elisheva gives you the energy forecast for the month of Nissan. As we shift into spring energy, Kabbalah teaches incredible secrets on how to elevate your month, the challenges to overcome, and the abundance we can access. Nissan is the month of spring, intense energy, and challenges us to overcome our personal slavery. The energy of spring is rebirth and coming back to life after the winter months but just like real labor, birthing is not easy but it is greatly rewarding. To experience the rebirth you must give yourself permission to move forward even when it's hard and to live a better life. Being reborn is to be better than who you were before the birth. Learn the secrets of Nissan and experience the rebirth of spring.
Have you ever found yourself contemplating if what you are doing is good enough and always aiming for perfection? In this episode, I share a practical tool from Kabbalah that allowed me to surrender to life's adventures and release control. Perfectionism held me back from starting something new and even prevented me from seeing how valuable it is to try and try again. In a self healing-journey, it is never easy to recognize that you can be the source of your pain and problem but yet it is also the most freeing practice because you also become the source of your greatness.
To turn your life around is not another catchy sentence, but a fact. It is possible for every person to make a change and with consistency, completely shift their life. These people are you, your loved ones - just everyday people! In this episode, Elisheva talks about the Hebrew month of Adar, the energy of the month, and the story of Purim on how it all connects and relates to changing our lives. According to Kabbalah, each month has its own unique energy with its own spiritual and personal processes for growth. Learn what Kabbalah says about Adar and how we are here to transform and struggles are an opportunity to choose a different outcome.
