Jewish Meditation for Everyone

Sitting at the Front Lines, with Love and Strength

Episode Summary

This episode of our podcast features a teaching and meditation by Rabbi Sara Brandes of The Awakened Body. It's a meditation for the second week of the Omer, the period between Passover and Shavuot. In this second week of the Omer, the spiritual theme is Gevurah -- Might or Strength. In these especially fraught times Rabbi Brandes invites us to situate ourselves at the "front lines" of conflict, and to notice our ability to hold both loving kindness and strength, to integrate softness and flexibility with power and resolve. It's an especially powerful practice for our time.
