011 - 7th of Nissan - Ephraim & Tishrei

[Posting this a day early so people can catch it before Shabbos!]


There’s a quiet majesty in today’s energy—an invitation to step into your own spiritual royalty. On Day 7 of the 12 days of Nissan, we align with the tribe of Ephraim and the month of Tishrei—the month of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, and Simchat Torah.


Tishrei is full. It asks everything of us—introspection, release, joy, embodiment. But before we arrive at that intense cluster of spiritual portals, we walk through Elul, the month of realignment.


Elul is the gentle return. Tishrei is the embodiment of that return.


It’s not enough to reflect and realign. At some point, you’re asked to live it. And that’s the invitation today—to move from inner work into inner sovereignty.


Ephraim, the son of Yosef and grandson of Yaakov, didn’t demand power. He didn’t hustle for approval. He simply carried his lineage with quiet readiness. And because of that, he received the blessing. The responsibility. The next chapter of the story.


You’re being invited to do the same.


Not to lead in the traditional sense, but to own your essence.


To live in alignment with the truth you’ve uncovered.


To stop waiting for permission.


To walk like someone who remembers:

I am a chelek Elokah mima’al mamash—a literal piece of the Divine.


And when we truly remember that?


Everything opens. Everything shifts. Everything becomes possible.


📓 Day 7 Journaling Prompt: Inner Sovereignty

Take a few quiet moments with these questions. Let the answers rise without overthinking:

  • What aspect of myself am I ready to claim more fully this year?
  • Where have I been giving away my power—through doubt, fear, or seeking approval?
  • What does sovereignty feel like in my body?
  • Who am I when I stop performing and simply return to my essence?
  • How can I embody the choices that reflect the Teshuva and alignment I’ve done?

HEY, I’M RUCHELI…
