How exactly do I meditate? What do I meditate about and why?There are different kinds of meditation and each one has a different purpose, so your latter questions are impossible to answer “in a nutshell”.

I would start with the book, “THE ART OF AMAZEMENT” which will teach you the foundations of Jewish meditation – the purpose, some basic skills. Once you get into that, please be back in touch (or even sooner). (FULL DISCLOSURE: I wrote the book, but I’m obviously familiar with it and think it’s a great intro for beginners).

Good luck,
