Hello,
Welcome to Guided Jewish Meditations.
My name is Eliezer.
When King David danced with all his might in front of the Ark of the Covenant,
He wasn't just moving his body to the beat of the music.
He was taking everything within his reality and existence.
His body,
His heart,
His mind and his soul,
And offering it all to the source of all in the only act man can perform that involves every part of him,
The act of dancing.
He was giving his all to the source of all.
Dance has the unique ability to complete an inner unity that combines every facet of our being into one essence.
In a state of meditation,
Dancing is an enormously powerful tool to connect to the divine as the Hasidic masters of history have taught their students and the world.
Today's short meditation will follow the usual intervals of spoken word and music.
However,
It should actually be performed during a physical dance.
Therefore,
Try and conceptualize the concepts in this meditation in your mind which will allow you to apply them while physically dancing as well,
Whether in the company of other people or by yourself in the privacy of your own home.
Let us begin.
Follow the beat of the music in your mind.
Discover its essence,
Its soul,
Echoing in the steady rhythm of the tune,
Back and forth,
Over and over,
Revealing its inner divine light.
Point on the inner essence of the music.
It has the power to move you,
To cause your body to merge with the beat of the rhythm one with its essence.
Allow your soul to attune itself to this beat.
Give the music the ability to move your body and soul together with every step and beat,
Moving together,
Your soul and body combined as one.
Focus your mind on this unity,
Your body,
Mind and soul united as one,
Moving to one beat,
A complete unity of your entire existence.
Here I come.
You Now in your mind's eye look forward and ahead and picture the music as flashes of light running across the scope of your mind.
Allow the music to transform its essence into colors of light,
Moving as does the music,
Reacting to the divine nature of your own soul as the essence of the music converges with your soul,
A divine dance of connection and light.
It is in the beat of the music of your soul that you find the connection to the divine at the pulse of your existence,
The innermost aspect of your being.
Meditate on this connection and hold onto it in your mind,
Using the movements of your body to reflect the movements of your soul as your innermost desire finds its expression in this dance.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Allow the music to flow into your mind as your soul unites with its source.
One in dance,
The complete unity of all through you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
