Finding the wholeness within is aligned with everything that Hasidus represents, the idea of a Pintle Yid, within me there's a part that is always whole.
In this episode of the Neshamas Podcast, host Moshe Charan engages in a heartfelt conversation with Elka Cubacub, a yoga teacher and psychology student who has bravely faced the challenges of Bulimia and Binge Eating Disorder. Elka shares her personal journey of recovery, which began during her time in seminary in Israel.
As she navigated the complexities of restrictive eating habits and compulsive bingeing, Elka realized that her struggles were deeply rooted in underlying emotions and a sense of spiritual disconnect. Elka's story is one of hope and healing, as she delved into her inner self to confront depression and disordered eating.
Through her exploration of Hasidus and Jewish philosophy, she discovered the concept of finding wholeness within—a notion that aligns with the idea of the 'Pintle Yid,' a core of completeness within every person. Her journey was marked by pivotal moments, such as reading 'Brain Over Binge,' which offered her insights into observing her experiences from an outsider's perspective. This approach empowered her to detach from the urges to binge and embrace a mindful awareness of her body and emotions.
Elka emphasizes the importance of vulnerability and sharing one's story, noting that releasing shame is crucial to healing. Her website, soulsubstance.org, serves as a platform to connect the spiritual self with physical well-being, advocating for the recognition of the body as an extension of spirituality. Through this episode, listeners are invited to reflect on the intertwined paths of psychology and spirituality, and how they can contribute to personal growth and healing.
Elka's courage to share her experiences offers a beacon of hope for others struggling with similar challenges, reminding them that they are not alone in their journey. The Neshamas Podcast continues to create a supportive community for mental and emotional health, encouraging listeners to embrace vulnerability and promote healing within the Jewish community.
