Many Jews are unaware that Judaism, similar to other religious and spiritual traditions, has a long history of meditative and spiritual practices. These practices include visualizing Hebrew letters and other Jewish symbols (the Tree of Life, Merkaba/Chariot, etc), Hitbodedut (talking to G*d), contemplating the attributes of Divinity, blessing practices and much more.
Jewish Mindfulness Meditation shares the basic mindfulness/heartfulness skills used in most meditation practice, such as, skills that calm and stabilize the mind, develop compassion for self and others, patience, and non-judgment. These skills help to increase our capacities to meet life with greater acceptance, strength, faith, wisdom, joy and love. It can be a practice for increasing both inner peace and inner power.
No previous meditation or chanting experience is necessary. All are welcome - come with your curiosity, questions and yearnings. Please email Ruth at rsrosenblumlcsw@gmail.com if interested in participating. RSVP to info@hamakomtheplace.org
