Meditation is designed to give you direct access to the spiritual. Whether it's through deep breathing during a busy day, listening to the quiet after turning off the car radio, chanting in prayer, or ten minutes of visualization exercises each morning, meditation takes many forms. But it is always a personal method of centering our spiritual self. Meditation has long been practiced in the Jewish community as a powerful tool to transcend words, personality and ego and to directly experience the divine. Inspiring yet practical, this introduction to meditation from a Jewish perspective approaches it in a new and illuminating way: As it is personally practiced by today's most experienced Jewish meditators from around the world. A "how to" guide for both beginning and experienced meditators, Meditation from the Heart of Judaism will help you start meditating or help you enhance your practice. Here, in their own individual voices, 22 masters of meditation~rabbis, scholars, psychologists, teachers~explain why they meditate, how they meditate, and how the meditative experience brings them closer to themselves, to God, and to the universe. Just as valuable as their clearly~explained techniques are their confessions about the obstacles to meditation in their daily life~and how these challenges can be overcome. Through a detailed compendium of the experts' "Best Practices," editor Avram Davis offers us practical advice, starting points, andmost of all~direction for making meditation a source of spiritual energy in our own lives. contributors = Sylvia Boorstein / Alan Brill / Andrea Cohen~Keiner / David Cooper/ Avram Davis / Nan Fink / Steve Fisdel / Shefa Gold / Lynn Gottleib / Edward Hoffman / Lawrence Kushner / Alan Lew / Shaul Magid / Daniel C.
