At day's end, quiet your mind and unburden your heart. These peaceful reflections offer wisdom to "sleep on." For each night of the year, an inspiring quote from a Jewish source and a personal reflection on it from an insightful spiritual leader help you to focus on your spiritual life and the lessons your day has offered.

Some of Judaism's most inspirational spiritual thinkers offer pieces of Jewish wisdom for rest, hope, reassurance, and inspiration in this collection of nightly reflections.

As we move through life, our heart accumulates layers of emotional dust and debris. It's good to periodically stop, breathe, assess and sort. Like cleaning out an overstuffed purse, we must pause, dump and evaluate. Restful Reflections is an illustrated journal with thought-provoking prompts to help you process and re-evaluate. Charming imagery, paired with gentle prompts that nudge the heart will help nurture your truest self. Over time we learn the truth that the only thing that can be controlled and changed is ourselves. Only our own attitudes, habits and thought patterns are subservient to us. Rest and Breathe helps comb through some of life's circumstances. By doing so, you can wisely evaluate the 'treasure' from the 'trash' and gain a better focus for your future self. Rest and Breathe will guide and encourage your journey with delightful beauty and transcendent grace. Self-awareness is at the core of self-care. Pausing to evaluate, and readjust helps us be better aligned with our truest values. Roomy size 8.5 x 11 24 Original art illustrations High-quality cream paper Lined pages for prompt responses

Deepen your understanding of Shabbat, awaken to the possibilities, and experience the day with an extra measure of holiness. Seventh Heaven delves into the art of consciously observing Shabbat—exploring many of the day’s traditional religious practices within the context of life’s spiritual dynamics. With the help and wisdom of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov—one of the most important of the early Hasidic masters—this guidebook offers insight into the deeper meaning and purpose of a broad range of Shabbat observances and seeks to show how each custom or law fits within the whole. In accessible, easy-to-understand language, 7th Heaven is a spiritual guide for all levels of Shabbat observance: If Shabbat is new to you, or you’ve experienced it only in its popular form, but would like to deepen your understanding and connection. If Shabbat is something you grew up with, but you were never taught the inner meaning of all the customs and laws you were told to obey. If Shabbat has never been a part of your spiritual practice, but you would like to learn more about the Jewish pathway to wholeness and higher consciousness. Based on the teachings of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov (1772–1810) and those of his closest disciple, Reb Noson, the deep insights into Torah and spirituality revealed by these great Hasidic luminaries are as relevant in today’s world as they were some two centuries ago, when they were first taught.

To open the way for you to find God's presence in your life, Rabbi David Lyon uses the central prayer in Jewish worship, the Amidah, as a starting point and guides you compellingly through classic Torah texts and midrash.

Flashes of insight—surprising, entertaining, inspiring—from one of the most creative spiritual thinkers in America. "The goal of all spiritual life is to get your ego out of the way—outwit the sucker; dissolve it; shoot it; kill it. Silence the incessant planning, organizing, running, manipulating, possessing, and processing that are the ineluctable redoubts of the ego. Not because these activities are bad or wrong or even narcissistic ... but because they preclude awareness of the Divine. To paraphrase the Talmud, God says, 'There ain't room enough in this here world for your ego and Me. You pick.’" —from the Introduction Tapping the experiences and wisdom of his career as a spiritual leader, Lawrence Kushner delights, surprises, challenges and inspires us. With his signature candor, wit and compassion, he helps us reconnect with the why and how of our spiritual lives. He encourages us to find new perspectives on the “life-stuff” that shapes them, and gently reminds us of the Source of it All. These inspiring—often startling—insights will warm you during the dark times of your own doubts even as they brighten your quest for meaning, faith, identity, community—and holiness.

This volume examines the spiritual shortfalls of our current healing environment and explores how midrash can help you see beyond the physical aspects of healing to tune in to your spiritual source.
