The Difference Between a Gregorian Calendar and a Kabbalistic Calendar The Gregorian (traditional) calendar determines the month and year based on solar cycles, whereas the Kabbalistic Calendar determins the month according to lunar cycles and the year by the solar cycles. In a Kabbalistic Calendar, a month always starts on or near a new moon and has either 29 or 30 days (a lunar cycle is about 29 1/2 days). Positive Days Certain days are imbued with energy of abundance, making them a preferable time to begin something new. These days are an optimal time to plant a seed for new ventures, getting married, buying a home, scheduling important medical procedures and so on. The first day of each month, New moon, is particularly positive day, as it contains the seed of the entire month. Negative Days Just as positive days have more energy, negative days have less. Seeds planted on negative days have a harder time bearing fruit. Neutral Days If we have an important task to accomplish and a positive day is not an option, a neutral day is preferable over a negative day. Letters Of The Month The Sefer Yetzirah (Book of Formation), written by Abraham the Patriarch some 3800 years ago, states that the Hebrew letters are the DNA of the universe. They are the physical representation of te energy force that created everything, from the plantes to the galaxies. Every month is represented by a sign of the zodiac, and by a plantet, both created by a Hebrew letter. The Book of Formation explains that by meditating daily on the Hebrew letters specific to the month, you can influence how your month plays out. אבג יתצ Ana Bekoach Located on the first row beneath the name of the Astrological and Kabbalistic month, you will find a line from the Ana Bekoach. The Ana Bekoach is an ancient kabbalistic prayer built around a sequence of 42 letters that are encoded within the first 42 letters of the Book of Genesis. Each line of the prayer corresponds to the energy of a particular month. By meditating on the Ana Bekoach daily, you enrigh your life with pure spiritual Light and positive energy. Anniversaries Every year on the anniversary of the passing of a righteous person, that persons soul returns to this world. The Zohar teaches that all the positive energy revealed by that righteous person is available on this day. Awareness, combined with meditation, allows you to connect to their souls so that you can inject extra energy into your life and receive their spiritual guidance and help. New Moon Rosh Chodesh, which means head of the month, is the first day of the lunar month. Just as the seed contains the DNA of the entire tree, the first day of the new month contains all of the distinct forces that will be revealed that month. On New Moon, you have the opportunity to draw power from all of the months positive aspects, as well as the opportunity to protect yourself against its negative ones. That is why Kabbalah Centres and Kabbalah Study Groups all over the world offer special lectures on maximizing the specific opportunities of each month, followed by beautiful, inspiring meditations to celebrate this time of renewal. Shabbat Every Friday at sundown begins the time known as Shabbat, and it concludes with the setting of the sun on Saturday evening. Kabbalists explain that Shabbat is the only day of the week when the spiritual and physical worlds are united. The Light flows throughout the entire day and is available for you to receive from it as much as you want. Shabbat allows you the opportunity to change your personal destiny at the seed level for the coming week. Holidays Holidays are not about tradition. They are one of the most powerful technoligies available to you for improving your life. Holidays allow you to connect to different frequencies of spiritual energy of whihc you might not be aware. These forces activate and enhance your ability to remove certain types of negativity and chaos, thereby increasing your personal fulfillment. Each holiday profides its own distinct channel to the Light. Chol Hamoed These days are still part of the framework of the holiday; however, work is optional.
