Awaken your body with prayer each morning... Discover how to balance body, mind and soul with movement and meditation. Create a Temple of the Soul, your own soul, that you can take with you through every moment, every task of your day. From the Jewish spiritual tradition, with its affirmation of the body, come ancient prayers that can awaken our profound energies. With simple gentle movements, the body learns to move to the rhythm of prayer. Images from nature and Jewish tradition cleanse and refresh the mind. With this new vessel, the soul can deeply unite with the body. In this video, Judy Greenfeld and Tamar Frankiel demonstrate the prayers with their meditations, teach the movements, and lead a group prayer. You will learn: Modeh Ani, uniting the body and soul; Al Natilat Yadaim, washing of the hands; Mah Tovu, creating a temple for the soul; Asher Yatzar, focusing on the gift of the body; Bircat HaTorah, balancing the mind through the gift of Torah; and Elohai Neshamah, opening to the reality of the soul. Tamar Frankiel, Ph.D., is a scholar of comparative religions and author of The Voice of Sarah (Biblio Press). She teaches at University of California, Riverside. Judy Greenfeld is founder of Homeaerobics, Inc. and is a professional dancer, choreographer, and fitness trainer. |
