Your Brain on Trust: How Bitachon Improves Mental Clarity and Physical Health

Have you ever noticed that your body relaxes the moment your mind truly lets go?

That’s not a coincidence—it’s the miracle of bitachon, the Jewish spiritual practice of radical trust in God.

In this week’s class, we explored what happens in our body and mind when we finally believe that we are safe. Safe in our choices. Safe in our timing. Safe in our process.

🔥 This Week’s Bitachon Highlights:

• Letting Go of Control. We often think anxiety is a thought pattern, but it’s a full-body experience. In this class, we learned that by replacing excessive hishtadlut (effort) with surrender, we make space for real solutions—spiritually and physically.

• From Overthinking to Inner Knowing. Bitachon helps us slow down and hear the quiet voice of wisdom inside. Lily shared how practicing bitachon can actually rewire the brain to make calmer, more aligned decisions. This is especially helpful when managing food choices, boundaries, or health goals.

• Emotional Eating and the Safety Response. When the nervous system is on high alert, it reaches for quick comfort—often in the form of food. Bitachon brings emotional safety, which lowers the urge for impulsive eating. You’re not broken. You’re just scared. And God is here.

  
  

🍽️ Harmony Plate & Bitachon: A Match Made in Heaven

When you stop hustling and start trusting, your body starts cooperating.

Pair this with the Harmony Plate for calm, balanced meals:

• 🥬 Start with water

• 🥗 Fill half your plate with veggies

• 🥑 Add 100 calories of a healthy fat

• 🍗 Include 20+ grams of protein

• 🍚 Top off with whole grains or fruit

Bitachon reduces cortisol (stress hormone), improves digestion, and makes mindful eating possible. No need for punishment. Just permission and presence.

🙏 Key Insight from the Class

“When we stop clinging to what was supposed to happen, we start to see the good that is happening.”

Let’s Reflect:

• What would change if I actually believed Hashem wants good for me?

• Can I trust that my body is working with me, not against me?

• Am I open to letting go of control so I can receive more health, joy, and ease?

That intense craving you feel? It’s not just about the food.

It’s your body calling out for safety. For relief. For grounding.

And just like with panic or anxiety—when we pause and listen, something shifts.

In my Harmony Plate method, we use simple somatic tools to return to presence.

One of my favorites is this: Place your feet flat on the ground.Take a deep breath in, and say to yourself,‘I am here. I am safe. I have a choice.
