What happens in those first quiet moments? Why is it so difficult to begin? How do we avoid turning authenticity into self-destruction? And what does it mean to receive words “like burning coals of fire” directly from Hashem?Along the way, Rav Shlomo speaks about weddings, Rav Ginsburgh, the challenge of presence, the danger of negative self-talk disguised as honesty, and the possibility of hearing Hashem’s voice through your own.For more Shuirim and Music from Rav Shlomo Katz, visit: https://ravshlomokatz.comJoin Rav Shlomo Katz's WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KHKOhhPaeHx5Kb74WL9L9a?mode=ems_copy_tCHAPTERS00:00 Opening and Sponsor Acknowledgment02:42 Importance of Yishuv HaDaas and Hisbodedus04:15 The 15-Minute Hisbodedus Challenge05:16 How to Begin Hisbodedus: Practical Steps07:11 Preparing the Mind Before Speaking09:20 The Need for Silence According to Rav Noson10:21 Rebbe’s Story of Waiting for the Frierdiker Rebbe11:22 Wedding Example: Staying Present in Sacred Moments13:08 Facing Opposition When Seeking Hisbodedus17:16 Heavy Nature of Hisbodedus and Required Silence19:51 Final Call: Daily Practice of Hisbodedus23:48 Need for More Time and Rachamei Shamayim26:52 Avoiding the Self-Perverted Authenticity Trap29:13 Distinguishing Shleppers from the Truly Seeking31:56 Approaching Hashem with Humility, Not Boasting34:23 From Soft Beginnings to Burning Coals of Words38:43 Hearing God’s Voice Through Hisbodedus42:48 Sefirat HaOmer: Tuning Ears for Divine Messages46:00...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/bX2nZ1g2EKvVMmoEaELW21_sHsygmoXEAnrqUq2lr2I/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zNDY3/ZWQzNDIzZmQ1Y2Nm/OTkyNGIxZjI1YmFh/NzRhZS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
