A Formula for Divine Protection
There is a method of thought that brings us under the protective wings of the Shechinah (Divine Presence). This process is activated by reflecting on the following concepts: HaShem is the true Master of the universe. There is no power on earth or in the higher worlds, other than HaShem. may He be blessed. His Oneness fills the all worlds of existence. After engaging in this contemplation, he intends to absolutely dismiss all negative influence in his life, Instead, he focuses on his pursea thougfhts to the Oneness of HaShem, may He blessed.
Lesson: When we trust HaShem with our full hearts, He will provide all of our needs and all the negative powers will be subdued.
Visualization: As you review this holy formula, see your heart fill with steadfast trust and faith in HaShem. Envision all negative forces neutralized. Be confidant in knowing that you are in the shelter of HaShem's protection.

Once, Rabbi Yisrael Salanter's student approached him and said, "If I had the mind of a genius, the heart of a saint, and outstanding character traits -- then, I could become a great Rabbi."
Rabbi Yisrael responded, "With your mind, your heart, and your character traits you can become a great Rabbi!"
Rabbi Yisrael dedicated his life to encourage people to strive for personal excellence. To this end he launched the Mussar Movement, providing guidance, techniques, and wisdom on how to develop good and pleasant character traits.
He had tremendous impact on the world and his message resonates today just as clearly as it did one hundred and fifty years ago.
