Sighing: 1

Rebbe Nachman spoke often about situations which a person finds so painful to the point where he begins to cry out and moan. At times a person can bring himself to this point by calling out to Hashem and sighing. One of his students writes: I was once standing before him as he lay on his bed and said, "The main thing is ,מבטן שאול שוועתי" (From the stomach of the depths I have cried out) the words of the Navi Yonah as he was in the stomach of the fish. Rebbe Nachman explains that a person has to always grasp onto whatever he can and not give up. There is always the possibility of returning. There is never a place for despair.
If a person finds himself continuously falling into quicksand, he calls for help each time, he explained.
