Rabbi Joey Rosenfeld on Let’s get Real with coach Menachem, Sunday June, 28.

The practice begins with visualizing the four-letter name of Hashem (Yud-Kei-Vav-Kei) as a “secret formula.” By keeping this awareness in the mind, one draws divine consciousness into the frequency of daily experience.

Drawing on teachings from the Vilna Gaon and the Baal Shem Tov, the discussion highlights that the Hebrew letters are not just linguistic signs, but the fundamental “building blocks of reality” and portals for a deeper relationship with the Creator.

Rabbi Rosenfeld explains that Shivisi is rooted in hishtavus (equanimity). It means maintaining a state of inner peace and “all-rightness,” recognizing that at the core of reality, everything is unfolding as it should.

This is a practical tool for everyday life. By “engraving” the name of Hashem into one’s neural pathways, one can navigate challenges, such as traffic or personal anxiety, by grounding oneself in the constant presence of the divine rather than getting lost in the past or future.
