Do you sometimes get this feeling that you just need to take a break and escape into the one percent reality?

Scorpio is a high pressure month, so don't feel guilty about doing what you need to do to recharge and realign yourself. If it's a manicure at the salon or a shopping spree at the mall or getting lost in a video game - do it.

Do something to nurture yourself today. Being kind to yourself creates a bigger vessel for you to be kind to others.

Yesterday I called a support line for my malfunctioning iPod. I was on speaker phone when the customer service rep finally answered, and asked for my name. I said it and he asked me to repeat. I said it again he still me to repeat. This happened two more times and finally I hung up in frustration, only to realize a second later I had him on mute! How many times do we put ourselves on mute to people? There they are - ready to help - but we can't hear them, or refuse to see that we are blocking them. Furthermore, when people need OUR help, we say we're too busy or we can't and effectively mute out Light and wisdom that we could receive.

Today, put it in your mind that every person you meet has something to teach you. And vice versa.

Love is confession. Confession of fears, hopes, fantasies, inappropriate thoughts. Confession of your truth. Kabbalistically, the process of being vulnerable destroys any blockages in a relationship. Blockages that, if not brought to light, can simmer and explode.

Today, be real with your loved ones. Share what's going on inside. Release yourself from the prison of, "what will they think?"

There's a well-worn kabbalistic story of a man who complains he has no shoes until one day he sees a man with no feet.

Today, to avoid the trap of focusing only on what you are lacking, it's a healthy exercise to look around and see where others are lacking. This will help you appreciate what you have. This is valuable because there is a spiritual principle that states, either we learn to appreciate all things in our life, or we have to lose them in order to realize their value.

How are your gifts benefiting others?

Kabbalistically, the highest fulfillment we can get is not achieving for ourselves, but achieving for others. Our gifts are assists from the Creator to help us influence and achieve these great things, on a scale bigger than ourselves. Today, look around you and find a life into which you can shine your Light.

We never know how much time we have on this earth to do our spiritual work, so, there is no time like the present, as they say. We must be on our toes, all the time, guarding against over- thinking and over-analyzing. We must avoid getting our feet stuck in the mud. Today, do things quickly. Don't get bogged down in any one thing. If you do, then repeat, "next, next, next."

I often use the terms God, Light, or the Creator. Sometimes I receive emails from skeptics who think Kabbalah is asking people to passively believe in an external God.

This is not the case.

Kabbalah shows how to experience the Light within yourself. The reason we stress looking within and confronting your fears is because these are the barriers that keep you out of contact with that eternal part of yourself.

Pay attention to your fears today. Watch how often they come up and notice how painful it is to sit with them.

I often use the terms God, Light, 

"Next time a mosquito's hum or a fly's buzz annoys you, recall this Kabbalistic teaching: 'Even worms, flies and mosquitoes - all of them communicate wisdom, and there is not a single animal in the world, even from amongst the creeping-crawlies, that does not communicate some form of wisdom.'" - Rav Chaim Vital, student of the Ari, 16th Century Imagine what people can teach us!

Be open today. Listen with the intention of hearing something new. You can get wisdom from every one you meet.
