Prayer being a part of meditative practices has been deeply rooted in Judaism for thousands of years, meditation practices of sitting quietly and chanting a few words in repetition, or singing to God. Focusing on thoughts of loving-kindness, forgiveness, gratitude or generosity are a part of Judaism. And these meditation techniques provide a new opportunity for modern practitioners to connect with tradition Judaism practices of meditation. The Jewish meditation is an enriching worship, deeply rooted in traditional practices of teaching, texts and prayers. Contemporary Jewish meditation is about rediscovery of what was always there. It offers a fresh entry to ancient wisdom and practices, a way of keeping the name of God always before us. Meditation is designed to bring us to a direct experience of ourselves and of God.There are three schools of meditation that seem to be solidifying within Judaism, Ayin meditation, Chesed meditation, and Kabbalistic meditation. Ayin means 'nothingness' and 'the void' and it describes the state of complete oneness with God. The active form of Ayin is called 'Devekut' meaning 'merging' or 'cleaving.' Chesed is loving-kindness. Kabbalah is the most mental - it relies on fierce study, complicated visualizations and recitations.
