The teaching
This week's Torah portion opens with the commandment: "You shall appoint judges and officers for yourself."
Why does the Torah add the words "for yourself?" Beyond justice for others, we must look inward. To become aware of what we allow into our minds and lives, and how we respond.
Internal martial arts teaches a similar discipline. Before we respond effectively to forces around us, we must first become aware of what is happening within us. Our tension, balance, and intent.
True strength begins with self-awareness. Before judging the world around us, learn to judge - and understand - yourself. Learn more at TorahTaiChi.com.
