Don’t React & Be Free | Torah, Meditation: Nasso

Learn how meditation frees us from negative reactivity, especially when you’re feeling attacked or accused by others. True spiritual strength is not the force of an ego defending itself, but rather, the capacity to rest in the silence and be aware of reactive feelings without needing to become them. Followed by a guided meditation on the Hebrew letter ס samech, which represents the foundational support of this inner silence to set you free from emotional reactivity.

Teaching and guided meditation with Rabbi Brian Yosef Schachter-Brooks. Opening song Hashkiveinu and piano improvisation also by Brian. Hashkiveinu is from the album Ayn Od by BRIAH, and features the vocals of Jeannette Ferber and Bon Singer, along with Sam “Shmully” Markewich on drums, Joshua Miele on bass, and Lior Tzarfaty on guitar.

Awaken Your Inner Torah | Shavuot, Malchut

The Baal Shem Tov gives a simple and practical method to conect with the source of Torah within your own being.

Beneath your thoughts & feelings is a radiant field of awareness, free from negativity and connected to the aliveness of the present moment. This is the heart of Judaism: Sh’ma – Listen! Through paying attention, you will come to know the Divine Oneness that permeates everything, from which you are not separate.

Torah of Awakening with Rabbi Brian Yosef Schachter-Brooks cuts through the vast complexity of the Jewish tradition to this simple, experiential core of Jewish spirituality — revealing the inner meanings of Jewish texts you can find within your own experience.

Two Stages of Jewish Meditation

Learn Integral Jewish Meditation free: https://www.torahofawakening.com

In this episode we explore a beautiful and incredibly helpful teaching from Rabbi Yosef Yitzhak Shneerson about how meditation really comes in two different stages. If you understand these stages, then meditation is almost effortless, but if you don’t, it can seem almost impossible. We then dip in experientially through a guided meditation based on the Hebrew letter Mem, with Rabbi Brian Yosef Schachter-Brooks.

Opening song Hashkiveinu and piano improvisation also by Brian Yosef. Hashkiveinu is from the album Ayn Od by BRIAH, and features the vocals of Jeannette Ferber and Bon Singer, along with Sam “Shmully” Markewich on drums, Joshua Miele on bass, and Lior Tzarfaty on guitar.

Resist Nothing | Jewish Meditation on Vayikra & ALEPH

Learn Integral Jewish Meditation free:

https://www.torahofawakening.com

Liberation in the external sense means escaping – getting away from the thing that you’re enslaved to, whether it be a relationship, a job, a situation, whatever. But spiritual liberation is the exact opposite, because it’s getting free from the need for things to be other than the way they are. In other words, it’s getting free from your emotional resistance to whatever you’re experiencing in the moment.

In order to do that, you have to consciously be with whatever is present on purpose – even if this means being with the thing you feel enslaved by, rather than the normal thing, which is trying to escape from it. Because when we do that we can transcend our identification with those feelings of wanting to get away, and actualize the power of awareness to be with whatever arises, and not get pushed around by it. This is meditation.

But do that, we need to hear the silent call behind all experience. This is the inner message of the Torah portion Parshat Vayikra which you’ll experience with a guided meditation based on the Hebrew letter Aleph, with Rabbi Brian Yosef Schachter-Brooks.

Opening song Hashkiveinu and piano improvisation also by Brian Yosef. Hashkiveinu is from the album Ayn Od by BRIAH, and features the vocals of Jeannette Ferber and Bon Singer, along with Sam “Shmully” Markewich on drums, Joshua Miele on bass, and Lior Tzarfaty on guitar.
