Course Overview

Meditation from Sinai: Mindful awareness and Divine spirituality to help you think, feel, and live more deeply.

Judaism places great emphasis on action. As a result, many Jews are unaware of another important facet of the Jewish tradition: deeply meaningful teachings about mindful awareness, spirituality, and meditative practices. This course advances the uniquely Jewish approaches to these fascinating topics. Whether you’ve practiced meditation before or not, this course will both inspire and practically guide so that you can reap the benefits of a more spiritual and mindful life.

Lesson Outline

Lesson 1
MIND CONTROL, I THINK THEREFORE I CAN Mind over matter—when you mind, life matters. The Torah teaches that our brains don't control us, we control our brains. When we harness our awesome gray matter, dreams become a matter of fact.

Lesson 2
SPIRITUAL AWAKENING, TUNE IN, PLAY ON What is spirituality and how do I tune into its song? Meditation is the instrument that allows you to play the spirited music of existence, and the voice that enables you to sing the soul of every experience.

Lesson 3
DIVINE ANIMATION, JOY VEY G‑d animates everything, perpetually. Discovering G‑d is opening ourselves to life's divine animation. Results include but are not limited to increased joy, more resilience, and deeper purpose.

Lesson 4
HERE AND WOW, FREE EVERY MOMENT Long before living in the moment gained its moment in the spotlight, G‑d gifted us the incredible power to live with, live in, live up, and transform every single moment of our lives. It's happening now, at this very moment. All of life is elevated by meditation.

Lesson 5
CLUB MED, EAT BETTER, SLEEP DEEPER, WORK HIGHER Here we zoom in and focus on three of life’s essentials: when we consume, when we repose, when we hustle-bustle.

Lesson 6
ACT NATURAL, CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN DO Those that can't, don't. Those that can, do. And you can. At its core, Mount Sinai is Mountain Do. Physical actions, called Mitzvos by the Creator, engender spiritual and physical change in the universe.
