Guided Jewish Meditations

Show Notes

There is a short morning prayer that is spoken by Jews upon waking up every morning: מודה אני לפניך / Modeh Ani Lefanecha I am grateful to You

מלך חי וקיים / Melech Chai Vekayam King, Alive and Everlasting

שהחזרת בי נשמתי בחמלה / Shehechezarta Bi Nishmasi Bechemla That You have returned my soul to me with mercy

רבה אמונתך / Raba Emunasecha How abundant is Your faith

This short prayer contains within it a deep secret of daily renewal, an awakening with praise, hope, deep purpose and contentment. This visualization meditation guides the listener to an experience of this secret. Please note that this guided meditation is spoken in the first person.

Using a deeply engaging visualization, the listener is guided towards experiencing the D'Yo, the divine ink that flows from the energies of one's own toil in the pursuit of the Divine, and into the Kulmus, the spiritual quill, that allows the self to channel this energy into these holy letters, and into the Ineffable Name of the Creator.
