The greatest spiritual achievement is not transcending the body but joining body and spirit together. But to do this, you must break through assumptions that draw boundaries around the Infinite and wake up to the body as the site of holiness itself. This groundbreaking book is the first comprehensive treatment of the body in Jewish spiritual practice and an essential guide to the sacred. With meditation practices, physical exercises, visualisations, and sacred text, you will learn how to experience the presence of the Divine in, and through, your body. And by cultivating an embodied spiritual practice, you will transform everyday activities - eating, walking, breathing, washing - into moments of deep spiritual realisation, uniting sacred and sensual, mystical and mundane. The best text ever composed on the Jewish way to integrate our spiritual paths with our physical bodies. Clear, concise and beautifully written. Highly recommended. - Rabbi David A. Cooper, author, God Is a Verb . A work of genius…Recasts Jewish observance and daily living as spiritual practices that act as bridges between our physical and spiritual worlds. Should be read by every rabbi - by every Jew - in America. - Rabbi Eliezer Diamond, chair, Department of Talmud and Rabbinics.
