Thank you Rabbi. Although I am a Christian this lecture gradually makes me see that Judaism is more practical. All distortions about Judaism are phasing out.
Makhi Nxumalo, This feeling will increase as you study, even a casual study of videos here, or say, the Tanak Talk channel, where Michael contributes, too. Shalom ☮️
Interestingly, even Christianity has a deep tradition of mysticism and meditation. This is found in some Catholic mystics, but the mysticism is particularly prominent in eastern Christianity in the orthodox churches. I highly recommend reading the writings of the desert fathers as well as Gregory of Nyssa and Isaac the Syrian.
Love and blessings for Israel 🇮🇱 From Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Hashem bless Yisrael always... my life has changed because of the liberating truth of tora and Judaism 🙏🏻 TODA RABA
I am a born again Christian , but I enjoyed listening to your teaching , and hope to use some of the meditation techniques. I recommend that others give a listen !
I actually just finished reading Aryeh Kaplan's Jewish Meditation, don't I feel smart. That guided meditation at the end was the best guided meditation I've ever been privvy to.
Perhaps somewhat ironically, I had to keep consciously telling myself not to open other tabs while watching this, my hand kept going for that mouse. I feel like this lesson in mindfulness will stay with me. My favorite part was learning to receive a breath instead of taking one. The visualization at the end was great and something I will use in the future, just a little slower though!
Dear Rabbi Skobac, In acting theory, concentration or Kavanah is called “identifying your purpose”, i.e., in a staged scene (according to the character you are playing). I think I understand King Hezekiah, behavior on learning he was going to die soon 😂. One way is to imagine the desired outcomes of the prayer, such as being able to spend more time with your family or other benefits, which could be lengthy. You just assume the desired outcome has already happened (time itself being emergent from the universe, or illusory). That’s how I do and get my best results. Yes miracles happen from Gd! Very good lesson! 🙏🏻
Do you believe in Yahshua, and his Father YHVH. Then this mediation will be meaningful to you. I am a Messianic Jew. An Israelite believing that the Messiah came and will return at the end.
Miriam, I think one day you will wake up and realize you have been duped. I will pray for you that you might be enlightened one day as I have been, to the unflinching truth of the Torah, and concomitant beauty of Judaism.
+Miriam Hameda Barran I recommend you learn proper Hebrew at least if you're going to continue trying to say JC in Hebrew. His name was originally pronounced 'yeshua.' I know this because I have taught Hebrew for years.
34:21 Serious meditators should abandon focusing on the breath or a mantra as soon as they have gained the focus that that exercise is designed to impart. Otherwise meditation can become useless and even harmful. The problem with many popular yoga "meditation studios" is the teacher is not focused on G-d. Avoid such places.
Love to see the church tithe ten percent to the poor. LOL. MY experience is everything and everyone is working hard to keep the poor down and far away from sight. God help us all.
Richard Vass Not everyone. If this is what you see, what are you doing about it? I know I sound like an A-hole, but im not trying to be one. If you see people struggling and suffering, help them. Be the light of the world, teach them to overcome their obstacles and to better themselfs. Dont just feed the person by catching a fish for them, teach them how to fish.
meditation is breathing over a certain thought ... if the thoughts are about g-dly thoughts, then you are doing the most important thing you can do. trancending and getting close to g-d
This is a fantastic explanation of mediation. A great teaching for Christians or believers of the Great I AM. I will incorporate this in my mediation as a Messianic Believer. Thank you Rabbi
Miriam, you should watch Rabbi Skobac's videos: A Rabbi Cross-Examines Christianity; Why Jesus Didn't Have To Die to Atone for Sin; The Real Messiah P#l,ll,lll; Scripture Twisting: How Missionaries Jews for Jesus Messianic Jewish Christians Distort Jewish Bible; Judaism vs Chritstianity: Parting the Ways, Zecariah 12:10 -Piercing a Messianic Illusion; and, Larry Levey's Jews for Judaism video "Former Jew For Jesus Speaks Out". These videos will help you escape the mess you're currently in. Meditate on that.
Being mindful of g-d all the time is not always easy in this world where almost every one around isn't that way.I think it's important to meditate on god.I didnt learn any thing from this video.
We all want God's mercy, love, justice and righteousness....especially now...in times of final days. Interesting that we can "experience anything" as spiritual and meaningful.h Right at the very end.....I'm a Christian,....I've never had any discourse of hate of the Jewish people. God obviously loves the Jewish people; Jesus was the King of Jews. I believe that most people can have both extremes of hate and great love within them...it's up to each one of us to decide which way to move toward. Only God can know everything...to cast out "one subset of man"....is merely a human consideration - God doesn't do this....nor should any man to another.
Israel Ben Yehuda Two sides of the same coin. For me Jesus is God. Had a supernatural experience. Nothing to do with the argument you are feeling. Bless you.
This is what happens when you flee from the word of God ! You step into PAGANISM, practicing the way of the heathen ! That's me ! Well, I have the word of God the KJV so I don't practice the practices of my heathen kind, but the point is, how is your religion different then the heathens when YOU practice the SAME paganism ?
There is nothing pagan about thinking and being conscience at all times of your connection with the very Creator G-d that made you. IDK... you are insane. When are Jews going to learn that our forefathers were constantly aware of G-d..... that our Hashem even tells us to love with all our hearts, our souls and might.... that means everything including your thoughts. HELLO!
"times of your connection with the very Creator G-d that made you." You wont have any connection to God through worldly meditation practices ! Meditation is not this mind opening thing, meditation is really just thinking about God, at a given secluded moment.
Did you listen to the video? He is not teaching any worldly meditation practices. I agree with you but this is not what he is teaching. Do you not go outside at night and look at the sky and can you not see G-d's handiwork... do you not sit in awe at the beauty of His imagination. That is this meditation of which this Rabbi speaks. Is all that people do nowadays is see how much they can judge and put down another human being. That seems to be what you are about. Why not pray and learn to be kind with your words... then maybe you will draw closer to Hashem and understand of what this Rabbi speaks. Shalom IDK
There are two kinds of Kabbalah, the Hollywood form in America is paganism..... but the real Kabbalah goes all the way back to Abraham.... the Prophets spoke in Kabbalah terms. King David wrote in Kabbalah terms. Kabbalah is the revealing of the receiving of very deep concepts from Hashem.

Thank you for your time and dedication ..I love the way Hashem comes through to me with you’re the way you teach...
I`m a believer of the G-d of Israel, Blessed be his Holy NAME. wonderful teaching I`m very grateful
Can we be friends? Do you have Facebook or Instagram?
How beautiful the meditation was at the end :-) thank you Rabbi.
This is beautiful teaching, Rabhi. Thank you. This teaching about meditation is what I'm looking for. And I will seek for more of this.
I'm so happy to find this. My friend gave me Jewish Meditation by Aryeh Kaplan.. I'm so excited!
Very helpful as always. More than grateful for this!
Thank you so much Rabbi, this is a beautiful teaching.
I actually just finished reading Aryeh Kaplan's Jewish Meditation, don't I feel smart.
That guided meditation at the end was the best guided meditation I've ever been privvy to.
Oh... I appreciated receiving the breath rather than taking it, and I appreciated when Rabbi Skobac connected this to "the apple"...
This is so good, thank you, good Rabbi.

Excellent Presentation...
Toda Rabbah !
May Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan zt"l be praised for generations.
Brilliant as always
everything is prayer, when you are focused on YHWH, every movement throughout the day, is an act of prayer
+Mayyim Ruach Hayyim I agree with that
Dear Rabbi Skobac, In acting theory, concentration or Kavanah is called “identifying your purpose”, i.e., in a staged scene (according to the character you are playing).

Where is Adonai? Adonai is simply where ever you let him in? This whole video is great. Thanks.
I think I am going to the Jewish faith, thanks for this video.
Do you believe in Yahshua, and his Father YHVH. Then this mediation will be meaningful to you. I am a Messianic Jew. An Israelite believing that the Messiah came and will return at the end.
I will pray that Yah open your eyes to the truth. When the scales fall off you will be mesmerized. Peace and blessing
Miriam, I think one day you will wake up and realize you have been duped. I will pray for you that you might be enlightened one day as I have been, to the unflinching truth of the Torah, and concomitant beauty of Judaism.

I did watch it, it didn't change my views
What do you mean you "...did watch it,..."? I listed many videos, not just one video.
Awesome!!!
Anyone else misread the title as "exploding jewish meditation"? Hahaha
Otherwise great video
Lovely vid
Hashem naturally brought me to this kind of state, teffila meditative state.

Two sides of the same coin. For me Jesus is God. Had a supernatural experience. Nothing to do with the argument you are feeling. Bless you.

Kabbalah is paganism.
No. Kabbalah is a deep expression of Judaism with very advanced teachings. It is centered mainly on the Torah. Nothing pagan about it!
