Connecting With A Higher Power? 

• We are co-creators with G-d. 
• Because G-d is a creator, and we have parts of G-d within us, therefore, we have the ability and power to create. 
• We have an innate desire to create which stems from having a part of G-d within us. 

Watch the recap below: 

What is a Higher Power? 

• G-d wants us to be in a loving relationship with him. He seeks a relationship with us. 
• We need to infuse everything we do with this relationship. Just like we wouldn’t ignore our spouse or partner so too we shouldn’t ignore G-d. 
• A relationship with G-d is a flow. 
• Serve G-d with happiness and joy. If your service of G-d isn’t with Joy, it’s being done wrong. 
• Tap into the G-dly flow of energy. 
• Every relationship shares the same goal - to have a relationship with G-d, with a higher power. 
• Connect with the flow. 

Quote: “If I’m in the river, if I’m in the flow, Then I’m doing the right thing, that’s all I know” - Yermi Kurkus

What is Religion?

• Our understanding of religion is heavily influenced by our upbringing. 
• Religion is not a separate part of who we are. It’s an encompassing part of our being. 
• Most people are born into a religion. 
• Your relationship with G-d is more important than the “community” or “religion” you’re a part of. 
• You have to have a connection to your higher power that goes beyond the physical aspects and practices of the religion. 

Watch the recap below: 

Overcoming Challenges with Relationships with G-d: 

• Everyone has their own journey they go through with G-d. And they have to go through it. 
• Take a step forward. Start with Joy. When you start with Joy and make space for happiness and joy it opens the door for other experiences and feelings. 
• Learn to accept your religion and spirituality as your own.

Watch the recap below: 

Religion and Spiritual Connection:

• Religion and spirituality have to be personal. 
• Most people are religious without being spiritual. 
• Being spiritual means “to have spirit” to be soulful - to have a lively spirit. 
• The opposite of having a spirit is being dead - unlively
• When you meet someone and “vibe” with them it’s because your spirits are connecting. 
• Without putting the spirit into the religion all you’re doing is checking off boxes of the practice. 
• Now that we no longer have to be in the “religious survival mode” we have to focus on putting life back into the religion.
