OMER MEDITATION
A Spiritual Guide to the Counting of the Omer
Forty-Nine Steps to Personal Refinement
Examine the bonding
aspect of your sovereignty. Healthy independence should not prevent
you from bonding with another person. On the contrary:
self-confidence allows you to respect and trust another's
sovereignty and ultimately bond with him. And that bond will
strengthen your own sovereignty, rather than sacrifice it.
Does my sovereignty prevent me from bonding? Could that be because
of deeper insecurities that I am unaware of? Do I recognize the fact
that a fear of bonding reflects on lack of self-confidence in my own
sovereignty? Do I talk to the one with whom I bond and discuss my
fears that bonding will compromise my boundaries?
Exercise for the day: Actualize your sovereignty by
intensifying your bond with a close one.
