MEDITATION: Shabbat and Our Inherent Value (Parashat Vayakhel-Pekudei)

This meditation focuses on the concept of shabbat, first finding that place of inner shabbat peace inside us, and then coming into awareness of that divine essence as who we really are, seeing clearly the misconception that our value is dependent on our work and accomplishments. Finally we return to look at work from a different place, from this shabbat knowledge of our own inherent value, and see how work might feel and look different, more generous and effortless, as it does in the work of the building of the mishkan which immediately follows the shabbat commandment in our parsha.
