Description
Today, there is unanimous regard for the various benefits of meditation. Today, online formats of meditation are ubiquitous. In fact, mindfulness meditation has become one of the most widely used techniques used in current evidence-based therapeutic modalities (consider DBT, MBCT, MBSR, etc.). Additionally, there is significant research demonstrating the beneficial neuroplastic effect meditation has on the brain. Even though there are obvious clinical and health benefits, many available methods contain some avizrayhu d’avodah zara (subtle Eastern religious carryover elements). The Lubavitcher Rebbe was very strong about getting the neutral format out as soon as possible (over 40 years ago) since Jews were led astray. The Rebbe predated many current, cutting-edge, evidence-based research with his approach to meditation. In the ’60s and 70’s he approached individuals, groups, and then publicly gave an address about Transcendental Meditation and its idolatrous elements.

About the Presenter:
Learning Objectives:
- Be able to understand and explain to another person, the rudiments of meditation and simple self-regulation techniques.
- Understanding the basic halachic considerations, enumerate them prior to embarking on or training someone in a meditation practice. (I will go over 11 specific points.)
- After in vivo experiences of the various techniques, participants will have the ability practice them independently on their own and demonstrate them to others.
Agenda:
In this workshop, I will teach basic information regarding halachically questionable elements found in various current available formats of meditation (such as TM, “Mindfulness” meditation from Buddhist sources, etc.). We will review basic science and neuroscience concepts regarding self-regulation. Additionally, participants will become conversant with basic elements from the techniques so that they can share them with clients, friends, and family. We will have time for practice and experience with techniques, as well for questions and answers.
