Listening Beyond The Triggers

How often do you internalize the messages that are sent through the underlying triggers we consistently face? In the Torah portion of Eikev, we learn about the importance of paying attention to the unconscious parts of ourselves. Eikev means a heel of a foot which is the most desensitized part of our body.

Eikev also refers to the times before geula- redemption, where we will finally learn to embrace and cultivate awareness of all parts of ourselves. When we bring awareness to our "heel" we begin to truly heal on a personal and collective level.
