The Omer is counted every nightfall starting the 2nd night of Passover until the night before Shavuot (marking when we received the Torah). This yearly cycle of counting lasts 49 days and every nightfall has its own opportunity for reflection. Each of the 7 weeks has its own focus and each of the 7 days within each week has its own focus within that focus. During Sefirat Ha'Omer, we are invited on a mystical journey, a journey that spirals us deeper and deeper into discovering what exists within our psyches and souls…

gevurah b'netzach (discernment and strength within endurance)
During childbirth, I needed a kind of endurance that I’d never needed before.
What brought me the ability to keep going was the discernment
in knowing what to focus my energy and attention on.
The intensity of the moment brought me into a sort of hyperfocus of my surroundings,
and in every milli-second when I felt the pain becoming unbearable again
I shifted focus onto a new object and named it in my mind…
“yellow chair… blue curtain… white ceiling”
This gave me the inner strength to keep going a moment longer.
And because I went through that I have a feeling like I can go through anything.
When I become overwhelmed, I can notice the objects in the room I’m in,
and it snaps me back into remembering who I am and what I’m capable of.
