Inspiration & Entertainment The Daily Dose of Wisdom Bringing Heaven Down to Earth The Blueprint of Creation

Meditation

Tzvi Freeman

This is meditation:

Once you have thoroughly learned a teaching and organized the ideas in your mind, try to visualize it as clearly as you can.

Once you have that visualization, try to feel the essential life of the teaching.

If your mind is completely focused, then the teaching will move you until you are no longer the same self, and your day is no longer the same day.

Then it has become yours.

United Meditation The Zohar describes only the states of unity and connection we feel between us.

The Kabbalists would meditate to try find this internalized network existing between them. They described the various qualities, forces intentions needed to relate internally in a way to reveal the sublime image of G_dliness between them. When the egoistic forces of separation capitulated to the forces of connection, they felt the illumination of holiness fill their senses.

To meditate alone fills the senses of reception, the 'klipa', the pleasure for myself. I remain in this world
To meditate in unity to form the holy network of connection opens the spiritual world for us. Then we attain the higher insight from this higher plane above our ego. Reply

I am a healthier person when I meditate, I am more in touch with my essence when I meditate, I am a better me when I meditate. I believe G-d has given me a gift and I need to use it more! My meditation is not the usual mind emptying kind but being in touch with my whole self and the energy I contain side me. Thank you for this reminder! Reply

Meditation Your description is one form of meditation on an object or concept not what all meditation is. Reply

Meditation Good morning,
That's what I needed to hear. Rabbi, you reminded of a doctor writing out the prescription of what I need to see and feel my way through on this journey. I thank you very much.
Shalom. Reply

Meditation Is there more to meditation than visualisation? Surely it goes much deeper, as your article suggests. Once our whole being is captured in the meditative process, are we not approaching that soul changing realisation we all seek? I guess that depends somewhat on the object of our meditation. If we lose ourselves in meditation, do we not find our new self, remade in the process? Reply

Meditation Meditation- 5 steps
Learn- study what the Word says about the subject.
Visualize- picture, imagery
Feel- internalize deep in myself.
Move- act upon it.
Be transformed- not the same self anymore but becoming more the person the L-rd intends to make me. Reply
