Honor - A Mindful Jewish Moment

A Mindful Jewish Moment for Honor. This short meditation is a perfect way to start the day, take a quick break during work, or do a quick reset. This practice can also be used at the beginning of a longer silent sit.

This practice begins with a very short teaching and continues with brief, guided instruction.

Transcript

Rabbi Jonathan Slater teaches who we are emerges from what we do.

We may have money,

Title,

Status,

But none of that means anything unless we act according to the demands of honor,

Compassion,

And justice.

Heroes are people who extend themselves with great effort or even unintentionally for the sake of another in need.

Rest your eyes,

Relaxing body and breath.

Find a comfortable way to sit and allow your eyes to come to a soft focus and gently relax the body.

Call to mind someone who treated you with honor,

Extending themselves on your behalf.

Sit with the image of this person before you.

Offer thanks for that moment.

Call to mind an instance where you treated another with honor,

Extending yourself on that person's behalf.

Offer thanks for that moment.
