Jewish Meditation for Everyone

The Spiritual Power of Waiting

Episode Summary

In this episode, mindfulness teacher and coach Yael Shy explores the spiritual significance of waiting, based on the Torah's description of the priests needing to keep "God's watch" for seven days before the Divine Presence can dwell within them. She connects this with our own yearning and waiting for spiritual connection, inviting us to explore how recognizing divinity within ourselves might transform our relationship with ourselves and others. Join her for a guided meditation to imagine the Divine Presence dwelling within us, embracing the uncertainty of spiritual waiting with kindness and faith.
