The Most Important Thing | Zayin Meditation, Chayei Sara

We tend to think of spirituality as just another thing on the to do list, like exercise or doing the laundry. And this CAN be helpful if it gets you to make meditation part of your routine. But when you’re actually meditating, you’re not just working on some aspect of your being, like your muscles or your mind; you’re getting to the root of the matter.

When you clear away all the content of your life, what’s left? Who are you really, behind all the stuff going on in your life, which really means behind all the stuff going on in your mind? We’ll explore this through chanting, meditation, and the Torah portion, Parshat Chayei Sara, on this episode of the Torah of Awakening Jewish meditation podcast with Rabbi Brian Yosef Schachter-Brooks.
