I married my husband when I was 24.  We were both emotionally immature with skills that lacked a key ingredient for a successful relationship, healthy intimacy.   Our behavior patterns developed into dysfunction and that dysfunction was very hard to undo, like most people of divorce.  In 1992 we had to rebuild our lives with two small children, due to Hurricane Andrew.  My early search for self led me to divine prayer (most of the time I was pleading to God though), orthodox judaism, yoga, metaphysics and holistic living. Balancing my emotional distress, soul searching, commitment to children & family while enabling him build and re-build our business had taken it’s toll in 2003 when my own suffering caused debilitating problems in my legs, leading me to be in a wheelchair.  One day in 2005, my spouse was arrested for various charges and we were suddenly separated.   Nine months later our divorce was final.  For twenty four years I was Melinda Freiman, a woman whose heart was tired from calling out for peace.  I had been  willing to forgive all the trespasses upon myself and learn how to heal myself, gift myself with “completeness” to my ex-husband.   We co-created two beautiful children and he gave me experiences to grow from. I am able to live in a different world than I did before and now and forever I know how to achieve “peace in my heart”.  I’ve taught kundalini yoga & meditation to others, guided people with “Freedom Dance” ~ the dance I created to share in freedom, wrote 2 books, created this program, became a Rabbi and am teaching and learning Sacred Sexuality and Tantra to others who are on a similar path.

Om Shalom,

Rabbi Melinda
