The Amazing Beauty of Hitbodedut (Jewish Meditation and Prayer)

This inspirational video presents a beautiful way of connecting to God in a way that we're all familiar with. Talking to Hashem in english (or your whatever your native language is) is tremendously powerful, because it feels so much more personal when you understand what you're saying. Praying in Hebrew is great, but talking to the creator in english, about issues and events in your everyday life, is a whole different side of your relationship with Him. God becomes your best friend, and you start to feel connected to Him in every aspect of your life. We're used to thinking of God as some sort of distant spiritual being, but when you talk to Him during hitbodedut (personal prayer) it helps you see how God is present and is involved even in the most physical parts of your life.

Prayer and emunah (faith) go hand in hand. Prayer, and especially hitbodedut and personal prayer in your own words, make God so much more real to you. If you realy believe in a Creator, then He's someone you can talk to. And the more you pray and recieve divine intervention the more faith you will gain, and the more small miracles you will start to notice. God is not just a figurehead from the torah (bible) that exists for Judaism, major religions, and morals. A connection to HaShem (God in Hebrew) is meaning, purpose, and direction. He is the source of your soul, your life force, the universal truth, and the reason you are alive. True happiness is inner happiness and inner peace. Inner peace comes from a meaningful life. Depression, anxiety, and sadness come from a desire and and dependence on outside sources of happiness and excitement, but when the simcha (happiness) is radiating from within, from the soul, nothing can take that away, no matter what external events, dealing with challenges, or difficult situations come up. Rebbe Nachman of Breslev says this from of meditation (personal prayer and hitbodedut / hisbodedus) is heaven on earth, like living in paradise. Rabbi Nachman of Breslov writes that the only way to reach true simcha/happiness is through perfect emuna (faith), and trust (bitachon), because then you have nothing to worry about, nothing to fear, and can relax. The best cure, the most effective self help and natural emotional healing, is to realize that God exists, loves us, and that everything is for the best!

I can't tell you how much this means. Am in a very dark place. Reaching out to HaShem was exactly what I needed to do. I will watch this video over and over again. Thank you for reaching out to all of us on the internet.
