  Answer to the person in Israel

  On a motzei Shabbos, I often had to travel alone on dangerous road. I'd be quite frightened. One night on this trip in car, I spontaneously started to create a poem about myself and Hashem in my mind. It relaxed me tremendously. On other journeys along the road I'd create a song with a similar theme. Since then, I've adopted this method as a regular tool to lift me up and take me through dark or difficult "journeys". It has generally relaxed me and it has increased my belief that Hashem is always by my side.

  What an amazing class Rabbi. As an educator we practice mindfulness with our students. This has given me a whole different perspective in what mindfulness truly is!

  JUST YESTERDAY

  R. Manis gave a free introductory webinar for a course  on anxiety.  (The course costs) . He seemed to indicate that emunah is the cure for anxiety.  And emunah as a cure is the course

  A way to help

  get into a place of alignment, even recommended by the Rebbe, is to read and study Shaar Habitachon, Duties of the Heart

  If the cuddled baby never traveled because he was always

  Enwrapped in his mother's arms, what a highly evolved person feels he is constantly entrapped in Hashem's arms, can he travel without an eruv or beyond the tchum on Shabbos?

  on the one hand...

  I see and understand what you are saying about the baby being with the mother being the "same" as the Jewish people in their wanderings being with and in the protection of GD, the baby really doesn't know any other reality. The Jewish people I'm thinking because of the fact that they are human with human emotions, with their failings and maybe not enough bitachon and emunah like the innocent baby, that the awareness of GD being there for us like the mother of the baby are harder to realize and KNOW all the time and every moment.  When one gets there, it must be amazing.

  If my emotions are the same here and there, and therfore I can

  Dismantle a construction on Shabbos, then why can't I dismantle on Shabbos if my emotional state, very subjective and ephemeral, is the same here in the original place where the construction is as there where I might reassemble?

  If the yidden were permitted to dismantle on Shabbos

  Because they would reassemble on the same place, emotionally, why do the 42 stops have different names?

  Like the baby who is entrapped in his mother's arms throughout

  All the journeys the mother took; and so the baby was in one place emotionally throughout, 

  How did yidden take sea journeys, entrapped by the ship,  across the Atlantic from Europe to America before planes became commonplace which perforce included a Shabbos? 

  Could one take a 25 hour flight to New Zealand that starts before Shabbos at that place and ends  after Shabbos at that place?

  Could it be that the command to actually do melacha in the Mishkan and Beis Hamigdash and to make

  Cherubim (statues otherwise forbidden), both forbidden outside those holy locales, were "exceptions that prove the rule"? So dismantling on Shabbos on "command" from the indication of the clouds, were specifically allowed  there and then only and so nothing can be derived from that elsewhere?

  The yidden might take apart the Mishkan and reassemble in the same place.

  Of the 42 journeys did that actually ever happen?

  On Shabbos we may not give a gift because it's a type of transaction

  Yet, all say that Hashem gave the Torah, as we just re-experienced it, on Shabbos. 

  How could Hashem give a  gift on Shabbos?

  We may not do melacha. We may not make a cherub type statue.

  Why is it that these two are allowed and even prescribed in the Mishkan and Beis Hamigdash itself?

  If it's creative work that's disallowed on Shabbos

  How come the MOST creative work we can do, the creativity that most resembles Hashem (you've mentioned that postpartum depression might result from having gone thru what most closely resembles what Hashem does); namely either conceiving a child on Shabbos (as recommended) or birthing a child, are BOTH not only allowed but the former is encouraged?
