Opening Meditation: Awakening the Divine Power Within Us

Rabbi Yoel Glick
Israel
Yogic tradition describes a subtle body of energy centers or chakras underlying our physical form. The Kabbalah also has a similar tradition of a structure of energy centers. It is portrayed as either a Cosmic Tree that serves as the backbone of the universe, or as a subtle form that is the higher correspondence to the body of a human being. I believe that these two teachings describe the same spiritual truth. We live in a world of energies. There is a constant exchange of energy between us and the universe around us. This exchange flows through a network of energy centers that permeate all of Creation on both the macro and micro levels. In our meditation, we will tap into this great network of spiritual power to awaken the divine forces within each of us and channel their light, love, and peace into our world.
