MEDITATION: The Stillness that Can Hold Pain (Parashat Shemini)

This meditation connects Aharon’s stance of demamah, of stillness, at the death of his sons, to the “still, small voice” of God that Eliyahu experienced, understanding stillness as a divine point implanted in each of us that can hold any pain, no matter how intense. We work first on developing a sense of this stillness inside us, and then we welcome in any difficult feelings that need to be held in that calm space.
