OUR HEALING MODALITIES
1) Ohr Hadash Holotropic Breathwork
A New Light. A New Breath. A Return to Wholeness.
Rooted in the luminous teachings of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, Ohr Hadash Holotropic Breathwork is a sacred practice of returning to the breath as the original divine medicine—the Ruach Elohim that hovered over the waters in Creation, the breath that animated Adam, the sigh that breaks through the heart, and the deep exhale that restores the soul.
What It Is
Ohr Hadash Breathwork is a somatic, spiritually-centered practice of conscious breathing, designed to gently release trauma, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect the body and soul to the primordial breath of HaShem.
Combining ancient Jewish wisdom, modern nervous system science, and mystical kavanot (intentions), this breathwork journey offers a deeply healing experience guided by Torah, compassion, and divine presence.
Foundations from Rebbe Nachman
Rebbe Nachman taught that the hevel (breath) of a person, especially when brokenhearted or yearning, is more powerful than words. He revealed that the breath is a vessel for teshuvah, for healing, for song, and for returning to joy.
“The breath of the heart, the hevel of yearning, breaks all barriers.”
— Likutei Moharan
His teachings guide us to restore deveikut (union with God), not just through the intellect, but through the body—through breath, movement, and emotional release. The breath becomes a prayer, a lullaby to the nervous system, and a bridge between worlds.
Why We Need It
In a world of overstimulation, collective trauma, and emotional constriction, many souls feel disconnected—from their bodies, their purpose, and their Creator.
We are in a time of geulah (redemption) that requires not just intellect or effort—but embodiment, softness, and surrender.
This breath-work is a tool for:
Releasing stuck pain and grief stored in the body
Regulating the nervous system and moving out of chronic fight/flight/freeze
Reconnecting to joy, clarity, and purpose
Awakening divine consciousness within the body temple
Opening the heart to HaShem and to life again
This is not just wellness—it’s avodah (holy service).
This is not just breath—it’s Ohr Hadash: a new light, breaking forth from within.
2) Sound Healing
A Journey Through Frequency, Vibration & Return
Before there was form, there was sound.
Before there was time, there was vibration.
The universe began not with a bang—but with a breath and a tone.
What It Is
Sod HaKol ("the secret of the voice/sound") is a sound healing experience using instrumental frequencies—crystal singing bowls, tuning forks, gongs, bells, and chimes—designed to restore the soul’s alignment with Divine resonance.
In this deeply immersive session, participants lie down and receive sound as a form of energetic re-balancing. It is not music in the traditional sense—it is frequency medicine, anchored in sacred intention.
Foundations: Kabbalah & Chassidut
The Zohar teaches that sound precedes creation.
"With a soundless sound, the Infinite One engraved the world into being..." (Zohar I:15a)
Creation began with ten Divine utterances (Ma’amarot)—these are not just words, but primordial sound vibrations. The world continues to be sustained by those frequencies.
The Shofar, blown on Rosh Hashanah, is not merely symbolic—it is a call to return to the original vibration of the soul. The shofar pierces all worlds, awakening deep memory and shaking off spiritual forgetfulness.
The Baal Shem Tov taught that sound bypasses the mind and goes straight to the inner essence of a person. Instrumental tones allow the soul to "remember its source."
Rav Kook wrote that holiness is harmony, and that the higher a soul is, the more it can sense the harmony embedded in all of existence. Dis-ease, in his view, is a kind of spiritual disharmony—and restoration comes through attunement.
Why We Need It
In today’s world, we are bombarded by disruptive frequencies—emotional, digital, societal. Many of us are living in a state of spiritual noise, unable to hear the soft pulse of the Divine within.
This kind of sound healing helps us:
Return to our original frequency—the tone we were born with
Cleanse the energy field and nervous system through pure vibration
Rebalance the sefirot within—our inner spiritual architecture
Enter meditative states that allow the body to self-heal
Access stillness—the space between thoughts, where the Divine dwells
The soul recognizes these tones—not as something new, but as something ancient.
In this space, time bends. Trauma releases. Light is remembered.
We return not through words, but through the unspoken resonance of sound.
We are not adding anything. We are stripping away everything that is not us.
3) Dance Therapy
Returning Through Rhythm: Dance as Divine Therapy
A Soulful Movement Experience Rooted in Jewish Mysticism
Long before we could speak—we danced.
When words failed our ancestors, they wept, sang, and moved.
Dance is one of the oldest forms of prayer.
A language without words. A cry, a praise, a release.
What It Is
This is not performance. Not choreography.
This is Dance as Teshuvah—a sacred, embodied return.
In this class, participants are guided through intuitive, somatic movement to free the body, unblock stuck emotion, and awaken the soul.
Set to music intentionally chosen to resonate with specific emotional and energetic centers, this experience creates space for release, healing, and joy.
It is dance as devotion. Movement as medicine.
Foundations: Dance in Kabbalah & Chassidut
The Zohar teaches that the soul dances before the Divine throne.
Movement is the soul's natural response to spiritual presence. It is how it aligns itself.The Baal Shem Tov would often enter states of ecstatic movement during prayer, losing awareness of time and place. He taught that a fire too great for the heart alone must be danced out through the limbs.
Rav Kook believed that the body, when sanctified, becomes a holy instrument for Divine revelation. He wrote:
"The highest light comes not from silence alone, but from the body moving in harmony with the soul’s yearnings."
In Sefer Yetzirah, it is written that each limb corresponds to a sefira—meaning, when we move with intention, we activate and rebalance our inner spiritual system.
Dance is also a form of joy, and joy breaks all boundaries (simchah poretz geder). The Lubavitcher Rebbe taught that dancing dissolves the self, allowing a person to merge with a higher will.
Why We Need It
We live too much in the head.
Our bodies store what our minds cannot process—trauma, tension, uncried tears.
But the body remembers how to return.
Through movement, we:
Dislodge stagnant emotion and energy held in the limbs
Reclaim the body as sacred, not separate from the soul
Heal from within by releasing trauma not through language, but through embodiment
Reconnect to joy, spontaneity, and innocence
Open to Divine flow through the dance of the sefirot within us
As it says in Psalms:
"Let them praise His name with dancing." (Psalm 149:3)
This is that praise.
This is how we rise.
We return not just in thought or word, but in movement, in sweat, in joy.
The soul’s home is not only in the heavens—it also lives in the rhythm of your feet.
4) Yoga
Embodied Light: A Torah-Based Yoga Journey
Movement, Stillness & Alignment with the Divine Flow
Before we speak, before we act, the soul yearns to align.
To bend not just the body, but the will—
to surrender into the truth that God is in every breath, every cell, every space between movement and stillness.
What It Is
This is not yoga as a religion or dogma.
This is movement as prayer.
Stillness as surrender.
Breath as Divine alignment.
In this sacred movement class, we reconnect to the wisdom of the body as a holy vessel for the soul.
Each pose becomes a way to listen.
Each breath becomes a way to return.
This is a Jewish-rooted, trauma-aware yoga practice inspired by the rhythm of the Hebrew calendar, the breath of creation, and the ancient pathways of the soul revealed by our sages.
No experience needed—just a heart willing to soften.
Foundations: Body & Breath in Jewish Thought
The Zohar teaches that the soul moves through the body like light through glass. When the body is open and aligned, the soul shines more clearly.
The Hebrew word for breath, "neshima," shares its root with "neshama" (soul). Every breath is a whisper from the soul. Every inhale is Divine presence entering us anew.
The Baal Shem Tov said that even the smallest movement—done with intention—can transform your inner world and draw down light from above.
Rav Kook taught:
“When the body is healthy and full of light, the soul rejoices and becomes a throne for Divine consciousness.”
He saw physical alignment and vitality as spiritual gateways.In Kabbalah, the body is not a barrier to spirituality—it is a mirror of the Tree of Life.
Each limb, breath, and flow reflects a deeper spiritual pattern.
Movement brings these patterns into harmony.We are told, "Kol atzmotai tomarna: Hashem, mi kamocha?"
"All my bones shall say: Hashem, who is like You?" (Psalm 35:10)
This verse teaches that even our bodies can become instruments of praise—when moved with devotion.
Why We Need It
In a time of fragmentation and trauma, the body often holds what the mind cannot explain.
Movement gently opens what was closed.
Breath dissolves what was heavy.
Stillness reveals what was forgotten.
Through this sacred practice, we:
Restore presence to our bodies after stress or disconnection
Release emotional blockages held in the joints and muscles
Align the physical with the spiritual, honoring the body as a holy vessel
Ground ourselves in truth, bringing heaven into earth through every posture
Remember the breath of creation—and that we were created to move in harmony with it
"And God breathed into Adam the breath of life…" (Genesis 2:7)
That breath never left.
Yoga, in this setting, is simply remembering how to breathe again—with God.
5) Art Therapy
Revealing the Hidden Light: Art as a Portal to the Soul
A Sacred Jewish Art Therapy Experience
Before creation was spoken—it was imagined.
The world began as Divine thought, shaped by Divine light, then expressed into form.
Every time we create, we return to that beginning.
What It Is
This is not a painting class.
This is a journey into your inner world—guided by color, symbol, and soul.
Through a series of gentle prompts, intuitive art-making, and guided silence or music, we invite participants to express what the voice may not yet know how to say.
No artistic skill is needed. Just a willingness to show up with your truth.
This is art as prayer, drawing as soul-expression, and color as healing light.
Mystical Foundations: Art in Kabbalah & Chassidut
The Zohar says, “A person is called a creator (borei),” because in our essence, we are partners with God in shaping the world.
Each act of creativity is a return to the infinite light (Or Ein Sof), drawing it into physical form.The Baal Shem Tov taught that everything a person sees or imagines is a mirror to their inner world. When we draw or paint, we reveal pieces of the soul that are otherwise hidden.
Rav Kook, himself a poet and artist, wrote:
"Art is the garment of the Divine. Beauty and creativity are vessels for the Infinite to enter the finite."
In Kabbalah, colors are tied to sefirot—emotions and Divine energies. For example:
Red: Gevurah (strength, boundary, anger, passion)
Blue: Chesed (kindness, expansion)
Green: Tiferet (harmony, compassion)
By choosing colors intuitively, we’re often painting with our inner sefirot—even without realizing it.
The Hebrew word for imagination, “dimyon,” shares a root with “domeh”—to resemble.
When we imagine and create, we resemble our Creator, tapping into the deepest purpose of being human.
Why We Need It
In a noisy world, our inner voice gets quiet.
Our traumas, fears, longings, and dreams don’t always come through in words.
But they do come through in image, color, texture, and movement of the hand.
Through art therapy, we:
Transform emotion into image—and begin to understand it
Bypass the analytical mind and reach the heart of what we’re holding
Feel safe to express the unspeakable
Bring the light of consciousness to shadowy places within us
Engage in Divine play—because creativity is a holy act of joy and restoration
As it says in Genesis:
“Let us make the human in Our image.” (Gen. 1:26)
To create is to remember that image.
To return to our own divine likeness.
To heal the world—starting with our own inner canvas.
More Coming!
