Torah of Awakening Jewish Meditation Podcast

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.

Our practice, Integral Jewish Meditation, draws from Kabbalah and Hasidism yet is accessible to everyone. No religious background or extensive Jewish knowledge required.

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.

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.

The Divine Presence is not something abstract. You can sense it directly by simply offering your attention to this moment as it is in all its fullness – in its beauty and ugliness, in its order and chaos. This is because the Divine Presence is not something other than your own attention, your own awareness, hearing these words right now.

Knowing this for yourself experientially is called spiritual awakening. Get practical instruction in awakening through the Torah portion Parshat Ki Tisa, followed by a guided meditation based on the sefirah of Hod on the Tree of Life, with Rabbi Brian Yosef Schachter-Brooks.

To create inner space, you need to first bring awareness to whatever mental noise and emotional pain are cluttering up that space; the awareness transmutes the clutter. And what is awareness? Is it not the consciousness of Reality Itself, waking up in the universe through your nervous system? In other words, God? Create an inner temple and heal emotional pain through Parshat Terumah and a guided meditation based on the Hebrew letter Koof, with Rabbi Brian Yosef Schachter-Brooks.

There’s a huge difference between dabbling in different practices and actually making a home of your spiritual life in a solid tradition. And while dabbling might seem more freeing, there is a much deeper freedom that comes from giving up the seeking, and coming home to your essence within a committed community and practice. But to do that, you need to awaken that level of your being that longs to come home, that isn’t seduced by superficial freedom, and that is ready to make a commitment. 

In this episode of the Torah of Awakening Jewish Meditation Podcast, we’ll practice connecting on this level through Parshat Mishpatim, followed a guided meditation based on the Hebrew letter Tzaddi, 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.
