To prepare for a new (Jewish or secular) year, it's often necessary to meditate on what was, and release, forgive, and let go.

Explore the terrain of your mind and heart's desire in this guided visualization.

In this meditation on the New Year, use the paradigms of Acceptance (Malkhuyot), Reflection (Zikhronot), and Calling (Shofarot) to prepare for the time ahead.

Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev (1740-1809) said, "How do you know that your fortune is ahead of you? It could be that it is behind you, and you are fleeing from it." Let's take pauses to let God's grace embrace us, even from behind.

Trouble sleeping? Need rest?! Put on your jammies, cuddle up under the covers, get comfy, and join me as I translate the Jewish ritual before bed to transform it into a meditative practice for everyone. Then, Sleep well!

Let's cultivate mindfulness, attention and attunement through this guided visualization that invites you to see more detail in a space you may already know, and find grace and gratitude there.
