The Awakened Heart Project is sad to announce the death of one of the great Jewish meditation teachers of our time. Rabbi Alan Lew’s teachings were infused with integrity, humor and insight. As a Jewish leader, a spiritual teacher and a friend he is and will be dearly missed.

Rabbi Jeff Roth discusses how to relax into both your meditation practice and your daily life, and what gets in the way.

“Let yourself be drawn to how wonderful it would be if the quality you are trying to cultivate was present. Let the attention be pulled, rather than pushed. When you are awake and present, it’s amazing. So, just let yourself go there.”
