For many of us, when we start connecting to Kabbalah, we start disconnecting from certain people, situations, and behaviors that weren't healthy for us. For whatever reason, we didn't see how toxic these relationships or activities were. It's a gift to be able to see like this, but it's also painful. And it's part of the spiritual process.
As my mother and teacher Karen Berg puts it, "it's like taking a shower and putting on clean clothing: If a person is trying to get close to God, he has to allow himself to be cleansed before he can put on new spiritual clothing."
The next time you experience a challenge like this, stop for a moment and remind yourself that God is only trying to encourage you to take a shower!
