Yesod in Marriage: Building Deeper Foundations Through Repetition

Yesod in Marriage: When the Flow Isn’t Flashy, but Still Sacred

This post is part of a series exploring the sefiros, divine attributes that shape our inner world and relationships. Each week, we focus on one sefirah and how it plays out in real life, especially in the context of marriage.

I’ve Been Binging on Reruns

But not the kind you’re thinking of.

No vintage sitcoms or 90s throwbacks. Just good old-fashioned life patterns.

You know the ones- where you land in the same situation, same setup, same symptoms, and wonder: how is this happening again?

Only… it’s not exactly the same. Because this time, I noticed.

The Spiral, Not the Circle

Three years ago, I was signed up for Fally Klein’s breathwork training. Highly pregnant. Sick with the flu. And I had to miss day one.

We had just moved into a tiny apartment mid-renovation. I was unsettled, swollen, starting something big while barely holding it together.

Fast forward to now: I’m not pregnant. But I am re-birthing my business. I am sick- this time, just a cold- but still coughing my way through. And yes… I missed day one. Again.

The similarities are almost laughable.

But here’s what’s different:

• I’m not crammed in a rental. I’m back in my home.

• I’m not a new student. I’m returning as staff.

• I’m not just stepping into training. I’m stepping into integration.

Because even though it looks like I’ve been here before, I haven’t. Not really.

The Wisdom of Yesod

This is what Yesod teaches.

It’s the foundation that holds up the structure, even when life looks like a loop. Even when the lessons repeat themselves.

Because when you lay down real foundations: With breath. With honesty. With presence. With humility. With respect.

You don’t circle. You spiral.

You’re not just back where you started. You’re higher. Deeper. Fuller. Because this time, you're carrying something you didn’t have before.

Signs You’ve Grown

How do I know I’ve grown?

Because I’m not pushing past my limits just to prove I can. I’m not driven by resentment or fear of disappointing. I’m not chasing approval.

I’m here- grounded. More me than I was. Holding space for others, while still holding myself. Not as a martyr, not as a beginner — but as someone who's been shaped by the very work she now gets to guide.

This is Yesod. The quiet build. The daily layering. The return that looks familiar… but isn’t.

Because the foundation was never just for that moment. It was for this one, too.

Practice Prompt

Where in your life are you being invited to return- not as the same version of yourself, but as someone new?

What subtle signs remind you that your roots are deeper now?

If you’re spiraling through a “same story, different year” kind of moment… Notice what’s shifted. What you’re bringing back with you. And what you’ve laid down along the way.

Because sometimes the only real difference between chaos and growth is a good night’s sleep, a cough drop, and three years of inner work.
