A New Way to Beat the Post-Seder Blues

The candles are lit; wine is being poured; the smell of fresh matzah wafts; freshly grated horseradish tickles the nose. It’s so easy to feel inspired at the Passover Seder. We experience the transcendent energy of G-d’s miracles as we tell the story of the Exodus from Egypt. Among family and friends, we get that taste of freedom and faith that we wait for all year.

Then the morning arrives after the four cups of wine and the four ounces of dry matzah. It’s a special kind of hangover called “The Post-Seder Blues”. Thanks to the Meaningful Life Center, there is now an app for that! The upgraded and newly released MyOmer App is your antidote to the challenge of maintaining inspiration after the Seders are over.

The MyOmer App shows you how channel the tremendous potency of the Seder into day-by-day character refinement through a 49-day journey.The custom of counting the Omer is based on the forty-nine days the Jewish nation spent in the desert preparing themselves spiritually for the most monumental experience of all time: the giving of the Torah. According to tradition, each day of the Omer corresponds to one of the 49 facets of the human psyche and by focusing on the corresponding character trait of each day, app users can attain healing and self-understanding. MyOmer features daily exercises for each of the 49 days, covering the entire spectrum of human emotions.

Users can download the free app in Google Play or the iTtunes App Store.  In addition to receiving an analysis of each day, users will get daily reminders, thoughtful exercises, the ability to record their journey through an in-app journal, sync with your calendar, checklists, and the option to count in Hebrew, English, Spanish, French, and Russian.

MyOmer is more than a counter. It’s a story, an illumination – a journey through the human genome. This app is timeless and timely – it offers for the very first time a proven 3300 year system applied to contemporary life. The 49-step journey is as exhilarating as it is challenging, as it opens up your emotions and provides you with new life skills and tools.

With so much guidance and inspiration right there on our smart phones, the Post-Seder Blues have no chance this year. Good bye hangover; hello MyOmer App!
