Whole Self: Elul 9

Holiness is not about being perfect. It is about showing up as our full selves, prepared to do the spiritual work required of us. How can we do the work of teshuvah and self-reflection while part of us isn’t being honest? Elul invites us to bring everything into the light of self-awareness.

What part of yourself do you tend to keep hidden? Can you bring it into the light of your practice today, even in a small way?

Kavanah: Bring one hidden part of yourself home today
