Unlocking the Light: Meeting the Darkness with Mindfulness
In this episode, Zac Newman of HaMakom, a Jewish mindfulness center in the United Kingdom, offers a teaching and practice for acknowledging and meeting with compassion and wisdom the inevitable challenges we may experience which obstruct the light and joy of Hanukkah. He suggests a simple three step meditation practice: noticing any difficulty that is present, and meeting it mindfully; acknowledging the shared humanity of the difficulty; and offering ourselves compassion. This practice encourages us to make space for both what is hard and what is joyful, helping us hold both with openness and care. Join us for a guided meditation that nurtures self-compassion and allows us to find light, even in moments of struggle.
