Meditation
While practicing meditation, we sit with and acknowledge whatever is in front of us in the moment. Sometimes that something is pleasant; other times it is excruciating. So meditation isn’t necessarily about finding your bliss. The idea is that when we practice sitting with what is, we become more skilled at recognizing and better equipped at handling difficult moments and appreciating beautiful ones as they occur.
I am grateful for my own meditation practice of many years. For the past ten years I have been called upon as a meditation teacher in the Jewish community. From teaching for the Institute for Jewish Spirituality, to hosting a Jewish meditation group at University Synagogue and Wilshire Boulevard Temple, to serving as a visiting scholar, it is a great joy to introduce the depth of spiritual connection that a Jewish mindful meditation practice has to offer. During the pandemic, I created guided meditation tracks for Insight Timer, an online app, and was chosen as editor’s pick of the week three times. I am available to visit your community.
