The Embodied Jewish Woman with Rena Reiser

Wrapped in Love: A Guided Embodiment Experience

In Rena's guided somatic mindfulness practice, we began with grounding breaths, focusing on our heartspace and the rhythm of our breath. Then, we brought to mind three sources of love: our own heart's affection, a loved one, and Hashem's boundless love. With each breath, we immersed ourselves in the warmth of these connections, feeling their presence within us. As our focus softened, we surrendered to the collective embrace of love, allowing it to saturate our entire being. In this state of openness, we observed the sensations in our bodies and minds, noticing how love impacted us. We remained in this space, enveloped in love's nurturing presence, for as long as it felt right for each of us.
