Journals- Thrive Within
🌿 INTRODUCTION — HEARTBREAK IN KABBALAH
In Kabbalah, heartbreak is not only emotional pain.
It is a fracture in the vessel of love (Tiferet), where connection, beauty, and harmony reside.
Heartbreak may come from:
the end of a relationship
betrayal or abandonment
unrequited love
divorce or separation
loss of intimacy
emotional neglect
broken promises
love that could not be realized
The Zohar teaches:
“The heart breaks where light once flowed.”
Heartbreak hurts because love once lived there.
This prayer does not rush healing or encourage forgetting.
It supports the soul in repairing the heart without closing it.
🧭 SIGNS HEARTBREAK IS ACTIVE IN THE HEART
Persistent ache in the chest
Waves of longing or sadness
Intrusive memories
Difficulty trusting again
Fear of vulnerability
Emotional withdrawal
Idealizing the past
Anger mixed with grief
Feeling unlovable or rejected
Numbness toward intimacy
Heartbreak is not the failure of love.
It is the cost of having loved deeply.
