We tend to think of spiritual awakening as a kind of self-mastery, which is true, but that master image can create a sense of disappointment and resignation when comparing oneself to that ideal. But this is just another way for the ego to keep us trapped. The remedy? Forgive yourself for not being enlightened. In fact, this inner act of forgiveness is itself a direct path to enlightenment. This is not just a feel good cliché or a l...
We tend to see things that are painful, stressful, or even sensual and desirable all as obstacles to spiritual awakening. But this way of thinking is actually what keeps you stuck; whatever “obstacle” is in front of you is the portal to the Eternal, if you know how to unlock it. Learn more as we examine Parshat Pinkhas, followed by a guided meditation on the Hebrew letter Koof.
There’s a kind of guidance that speaks to us through the reality of our situation, if we know how to listen. How to do we attune ourselves to these messages that we might call, Divine guidance? Teaching and guided meditation on Parshat Balak and the letter shin.

When our sense of identity is dependent on external forms defined by our thoughts, we tend to grasp at an imagined future, barely conscious of the miracle of the present. But there is a deeper level to who we are, and to the degree that we can make contact with this deeper level, there is a Wholeness and a Rootedness that’s far greater than anything we can get from external changes of gratification, wealth, status, power or a...
The fruit of meditation could be described as a homecoming into the place you already are: the Holy Land of Presence. But there are obstacles. In Parshat Sh’lakh L’kha, the Children of Israel send out spies to check out the Holy Land. They bring back delicious fruits, but they’re too afraid of the giants they encountered there to give a good report. And just as the spies are fearful of the giants, for us fear and ...
Rabbi Brian Yosef Schachter-Brooks guides Hebrew chanting and meditation on the Hebrew letter ג gimel, awakening the sense of Wholeness and Completeness in the still field of awareness beneath your thoughts and feelings.

Psychologically speaking, most of our lives are spent oriented toward the future, even if we’re not aware of it. As we go through our days, nearly all our activities are aimed at producing some result in the future, and whether were aiming at the next moment, the next week or ten years from now, the psychology is the same: we’re motivated to act for the sake of some future fulfillment. And of course that’s fine an...

Learn how meditation frees us from negative reactivity, especially when you’re feeling attacked or accused by others.

Liberation in the external sense means escaping – getting away from the thing that you’re enslaved to, whether it be a relationship, a job, a situation, whatever. But spiritual liberation is the exact opposite, because it’s getting free from the need for things to be other than the way they are. In other words, it’s getting free from you...

The Divine Presence is not something abstract. You can sense it directly by simply offering your attention to this moment as it is in all its fullness – in its beauty and ugliness, in its order and chaos. This is because the Divine Presence is not something other than your own attention, your own awareness, hearing these words right now.
Knowing this for ...

To create inner space, you need to first bring awareness to whatever mental noise and emotional pain are cluttering up that space; the awareness transmutes the clutter. And what is awareness? Is it not the consciousness of Reality Itself, waking up in the universe through your nervous system? In other words, God? Create an inner temple and heal emotional pain t...

There’s a huge difference between dabbling in different practices and actually making a home of your spiritual life in a solid tradition. And while dabbling might seem more freeing, there is a much deeper freedom that comes from giving up the seeking, and coming home to your essence within a committed community and practice. But to do that, you need to aw...
