Hello, Welcome to Guided Jewish Meditations. My name is Eliezer. There exists a balance in creation that runs through every physical element in the universe. A cosmic dance, Every particle a critical part of a master plan. Balanced to intricate perfection by the master balancer. The creator of all this galactic music. The infinite source of all. You can tune into this balance. Become an active part of it. By recognizing your own balance within your own heart, Mind and soul. Thereby tuning yourself in to the balance of the whole orchestrated by the king of creation. During today's advanced meditation we will attempt to do this. We will look for our own balance within ourselves and in the process discover the greater balance of all unified by the infinite source. The ancient Hebrew letter that represents balance is Aleph. It is the first letter of this ancient alphabet symbolized by a center line flanked on either side by a single dot. One letter representing the perfect balance of existence. During today's meditation try and visualize this Aleph. Balance can be a powerful aid to any meditation and making yourself familiar with the shape of the Aleph will help you during each of the four stages of today's meditation. It is important to realize that every person has a unique connection with the infinite source. Your soul is a one of a kind spark of life and your ability to meditate and connect to the creator by using your soul's connection is therefore one of a kind as well. Recognize that there are no rights or wrongs. Focus inward and let your soul show you the way. Please prepare yourself for this meditation by finding a quiet comfortable place where you can sit or lay down and fully relax feeling completely safe and secure. Settle in relax your shoulders your neck and your legs and begin breathing deeply and evenly. Take a deep breath through your nose and fill your lungs completely then exhale completely through your mouth. Take another deep breath and focus your mind on the air entering your body. This air is filling every cell within you with life invigorating your mind and soul. Then exhale and as you do so try to free yourself of any negative feelings or energy you may be experiencing. Continue breathing this way and further relax your body and mind easing yourself into a deep relaxed state of meditation ready to allow your soul to become the focus of your existence. You you Center your mind pick a point before you straight ahead in your mind's eye and Focus your attention completely on this point See this point as the center of your being the point at which all of you converges into one While focusing on this point take a deep breath and slowly clear your mind of all thought Allow the threads of your thoughts to evaporate into nothingness slowly disappearing into the voids of your mind Continue doing this for a short while Now Focus your attention on the center of your torso at the midpoint between your navel and your liver This is the center of your nefesh the lowest level of your soul Where spiritual life gives existence to all that is physical within your body? Every cell within your body Lives and functions to an accuracy so immense It leaves the mind breathless This is your nefesh centered in the midpoint of your lower body Where your legs extend below? Attached to you yet able to move you carry you and execute your will Take a deep breath in the center of your mind visualize an aleph radiating with Divine light Now Move this aleph to this point in your body the center line of the aleph vertically aligned with your lower torso the sides of the letter extending above your legs on each side as This aleph begins to materialize in your mind You begin to feel a divine warmth extend from the center of the aleph filling your lower body with radiating light the warmth Extends down your legs as you begin to experience a divine balance descend upon you the perfect union of right and left your right leg extending your left leg retracting Within this balance lies the Divine The source of the life force that is your nefesh meditate on this source Allow your nefesh to connect to it the source of its life and recognize it as the source of the balance of all that is physical in existence you you you you Within the center of your body lies your heart It is the convergence of your rua the second level of your soul That lies within the center of your being at the point where all that you are merges into one your personality your experiences Your emotions and your dreams all of you finds its perfect balance and harmony at this point It is connected to your arms the immediate executors of your will The right and left that convey your desires and thoughts to all that is closest to you It is with these arms and hands that you touch embrace care with and love but also the tools of restraint and withdrawal of holding back and keeping close the balance of these two the perfect unity of giving and taking of extending and withholding lies within your rua centered in your heart Breathe in deeply Picture a second Aleph balanced along the center vertical axis of your upper body shimmering with divine light Each side of the Aleph represents an arm and hand the right side extending the left side with holding with your rua finding the perfect balance between these two sides It is however also the balance between up and down between heaven and earth and between the source of all life and the physical recipients of this life Your rua is at the crossroads of your existence the center point of your life controlled by you forever connected to the infinite source Continue meditating on this Aleph and allow it to

window to the divine To the parts of your soul that extend beyond time and space This is the third part of your soul the Nishama centered in your brain breathe in deeply and clear your mind of all thought as You center your focus on the midpoint of your brain Located between both sides of your mind at the midpoint of all that is your mental consciousness and existence As your meditation on this location intensifies You begin to see the radiating form of a third Aleph appear in your mind's eye the center line extending from your brain stem upwards It's two sides filling both sides of your brain lobes with radiating light The right side of your mind is the place where raw wisdom begins to form out of the nothingness of your subconscious will the first formation of thought raw divine light drawing life from your Nishama Then the left side takes over molding and forming raw thought into ideas and concepts The light collected into pockets of information that is useful for implementation into your life The center line of the Aleph the middle part of your brain that concludes in your brain stem Is where the perfect harmony and balance of your thoughts are collected assembled and delivered to your spine extending below your brain stem into your body below Meditate on your Nishama the perfect balance of your mind logic and wisdom and and recognize within it the connection to the source of all wisdom the divine mind Allow your Nishama balanced in your mind to become perfectly attuned with all of creation It is in this state that your Nishama becomes the conduit through which you can ascend from all that is physical and connect to the source of all Allow your mind to travel along this conduit and embrace this connection one with the infinite mind you
