Let's stand in Ma Bu... knees slightly out, feet shoulder-length apart. One hand over the other, making an energy ball in front of the Dan Tien - your energy center. Let's talk about the importance of a similar energy center for the Jews as they traveled in the desert.
In this week's Tora portion of Bamidbar, the twelve tribes camp in precise formation — east, west, north, south — arranged around the Mishkan at the center. Think of this as spiritual technology.... When the center is holy, the whole system moves as one.
Your body works the same way. The Mishkan is your breath, starting from the Dan Tien energy center behind your belly button. Your awareness — legs, arms, head, heart — radiates outward from that still, sacred middle.
Inhale into your center. Exhale and feel the energy move through your body... You just made camp, Tora style.
