This is Kabbalah,
Qatar,
Where we've taken Eastern martial arts movements.
And combine them with our Jewish prayers.
And Modaoni is the prayer that we say first thing in the morning.
It's a prayer that we say when we're just waking up,
So it's actually the first words a person might say.
Which is basically saying thank you for letting me be alive today.
Thank you for letting me wake up with my soul returned to my body.
And this is connected to the Qabbalistic idea.
That when we go to sleep.
Our soul.
Rises out of the body.
And goes on a spiritual journey.
Into the heavenly realms.
And some Qabbalists said that they would study in the Yeshivami Ma'al,
That they would learn secrets or learn truths and be inspired.
So that during the day when they were in the waking state they would be inspired by the things their soul had learnt during the night.
And so that's one of the themes that come through in this prayer where we say that my soul was returned to me as I woke up because it was out there.
Doing its thing,
Learning or just being replenished.
So some,
The Zohar,
The 13th century Qabbalistic text from Spain,
Talks about how the soul during the night goes travelling into the spiritual realms and actually gets replenished and re-energises itself.
So that in the morning,
When you wake up,
The soul's back with the body,
The body's been re-energised through physiological processes.
And the spirit is re-energised through spiritual processes.
And so we can have a think about that and feel that as our intention as we do this Kabbalah Kata.
Thanks.
