Jerusalem Consciousness

Jerusalem Consciousness

Jerusalem Consciousness is a Jewish meditation and mindfulness podcast designed for a world that feels increasingly overwhelming. At a time marked by war, uncertainty, and rising antisemitism, this podcast offers a space to pause, breathe, and reconnect—with ourselves, our bodies, and something deeper. Hosted by certified meditation instructor Liam Reis, each episode guides listeners through accessible, Jewish-rooted mindfulness practices centered on kavanah—the power of setting intention. Drawing from ancient traditions and modern techniques, Liam introduces meditation, breathwork, mantra, and visualization in a way that is welcoming to both beginners and experienced practitioners. Whether you’re looking to manage stress, deepen your spiritual connection, or simply take a few minutes to reset, Jerusalem Consciousness invites you to come as you are—and return, again and again, to a sense of presence, intention, and oneness.

This week on Jerusalem Consciousness, we continue our exploration of consciousness — moving out of the thinking mind and into the heart, or Lev in Hebrew. In a world pulled toward the material, the heart offers a refuge and a doorway to something deeper. 
As another Jewish meditator, Richard Alpert(aka Ram Das) would say, "Quiet the mind and open the heart." Using Lev as our mantra, we slow down, turn inward, and reconnect with an a...

This week on Jerusalem Consciousness, we explore the Jewish meditation practice of engraving, a technique that invites us to hold a Hebrew letter in the mind as a pathway to deeper spiritual awareness. In this guided meditation, we focus on the letter aleph, the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, often associated with the Ein Sof, or the infinite. Through this practice, we turn our attention inward with intention, opening ourselv...

This week on Jerusalem Consciousness, we enter into the spacious awareness of HaMakom—the Divine as “The Place,” the ground that holds all things while remaining beyond them. Drawing on this ancient name, we explore what it means to live within a reality that is at once intimate and infinite, where every breath, every moment, is woven into a larger field of presence. In this meditation, we gently anchor ourselves in the mantra HaMa...

This week, in the third episode, Jerusalem Consciousness, we center on Achdut—unity and togetherness—and what it means to belong to Am Yisrael, the People of Israel. On today's journey into mindfulness and spirit, we soften the edges of the self and reconnect with something larger: a shared story that stretches across generations. This practice invites us to remember our collective identity, to release isolation, and to step into a...

Our meditation centers on Psalm 27, a text traditionally read during the month of Elul, leading into Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. We focus on a few key lines throughout todays practice.

Our first recording session was interrupted by a missile attack, and we had to finish the episodes at the Miklat(bomb shelter). 

Even while making a meditation podcast, we were reminded of the stark reality faced by so many throughout the region. 

We hope and pray that these wars will end and peace will come to the entire MENA region.
