Build the Life You Want

Applying the four-step Kabbalistic model to actualizing your dreams Are you seeking to become more productive in your life? To actualize your potential and dreams? How often do you have a great idea but find it difficult to implement? Or the other way around: You may be good at execution, but find it challenging to find an exciting idea to embrace. Some people are visionaries; others at bringing a vision into reality. Is there a method to bridge the two -- and have the best of both worlds: function and form, soul and body, the big picture and the details? Now, for the first time, discover a powerful, life transforming Kabbalistic model which lays out the four vital steps to realize any concept and idea; a methodology to develop a successful project and build a lasting structure of every type -- from establishing a healthy relationship to perfecting your communication, from writing a book to composing a song, from crafting a business plan to building an edifice. These four steps will help you in every aspect of your life. Please join Rabbi Jacobson in a unique 4-part series, in which he deciphers these four steps and applies them to help you reach your goals. Learn how to harness the power of the four spiritual "worlds" in manifesting new ideas and projects - from concept to fruition, from form and structure to end result. Step 1: Atzilus; Vision Step 2: Beriah; Outline Step 3: Yetzirah; Shape Step 4: Assiyah; Finalize This week's program begins with Step 1: Atzilus. It addresses the first necessary step: Having a vision. Before building anything you need a clear and crystallized vision of what you want to achieve -- an overriding concept, a birds eye view which connects all the details, allowing you to see the forest from the trees. Imagine what it would be like if a builder started laying bricks before there was an architectural plan... if actors began to rehearse before a story line was conceived and written... if a design preceded purpose. Whether you are a "big idea" person, a project manager or looking to be think in a more organized way and be more efficient, you won't want to miss this series.

How can we balance individuality and the greater good of the whole? Do we need to compromise ourselves for the benefit of the community, or the other way around? How do we avoid diversity turning into divisiveness and conflict? -- a question that is particularly pronounced in these polarized times. Can diversity work in harmony with inclusion? Please join Rabbi Jacobson in this poignant presentation in which he outlines a psycho/spiritual model -- based on Kabbalsitic mysticism -- of discovering the secret of inter-connectivity amidst diverse multitudes. Through demonstrating the parallels between the human body, nature and metaphysics, learn how every healthy organism and system is driven by the paradox of finding harmony within diversity.

Every one of us has developed armor and defense mechanisms to protect ourselves from hostile and predatory forces around us. But what often happens is that your armor becomes so thick, and the masks you wear become so strong, that it gets difficult for you to let anyone in and to let yourself out. Even worse: at times your armor becomes your identity, and you may even lose sight of your own inner gentleness. This is especially true for one who has suffered sustained abuse and pain. The wounds cause us to lock up to avoid any further distress. We lose our trust in people and in ourselves; fear and insecurity can dominate our lives. And the implications can be devastating: With our walls up it becomes increasingly difficult to build trusting, intimate relationships. But all is not lost. Please join Rabbi Jacobson as he discusses ways to preserve your tenderness even as you protect yourself from threatening forces around you. Discover how to access -- and maintain -- the softness of your heart and soul in an often difficult and challenging world. You have incredible reservoirs of beauty within yourself. It would be a shame if it remains trapped beneath the layers upon layers of protective gear. It''s time to reclaim yourself; to celebrate your vulnerability; and to reunite with that beautiful, soft side inside of you, waiting to be freed.

Child rearing is fraught with challenges. Every parent will be faced with difficulties, many of which will be unexpected, in bringing up a child. Children are also different from one another, as are parents. All of us have our shortcomings and weaknesses as we have our strengths. Humans also fluctuate. And there is no such thing as a professional parent; all parents are amateurs learning on the job. With all these variables, how can we become better parents? What methods can we employ to produce the best possible children? Please join Rabbi Jacobson as he addresses specific ways you as a parent can incorporate to both preempt problems as well as address them as they arise. Discover an all encompassing formula coupled with principles and specific skills to deal with any given challenge in a healthy and balanced way, to create an exquisite home and beautiful children.

Children are our most precious commodity. Every good parent wants to bring up the best possible child. Children also represent our future. How we raise our children will impact how they will raise their children. Therefore, our parenting has perpetual, generational implications. But the big question is this: How do we raise healthy, wholesome children? What can we do to assure that our children will grow up in the best possible way -- confident, kind, focused on the greater good -- living up to our highest standards? This is particularly challenging in our turbulent times, faced with so many options and distractions. In this first of a three-part new course, How to Raise Happy Children, Rabbi Jacobson addresses the root of it all: what is the true nature of a child. After all, we cannot produce healthy and happy children if we don't first define the very psyche and soul of a child. Once we appreciate what makes a child tick, the unique personality of a child and his/her needs (in contrast to those of an adult), we then can identify what we must do to nourish, nurture and invigorate the child to thrive, flourish and blossom into a healthy adult. Like a flower seed that requires water and fertile soil, providing the nutrients for the plant to grow, a child needs psycho/spiritual and emotional nutrients to ensure its growth and actualization of its great potential.
