Meditation at the Western Wall

Dear friends,

In this world, there is a place that serves as its spiritual center.

This place is located in Jerusalem and is the Western Wall of the Temple, Kotel HaMa'aravi (Heb.).

When visiting such a sacred place as the Western Wall (Kotel HaMa'aravi), it is important to attune yourself to a deep spiritual connection. Meditation and prayer will help open your heart and mind to the Divine energy of this place.

Around 15 years ago, with God's Help, I composed the meditation and prayer presented here, which you are welcome to use if you wish.

Meditation at the Western Wall

1. Preparation: Before approaching the Wall, find a quiet place nearby. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths in and out. Focus on your breathing.

2. Attuning to the Space: Imagine a powerful energy emanating from the Western Wall. Feel this energy begin to permeate your body, starting from the top of your head to the tips of your fingers.

3. Connecting with the Universe:

   • Silently repeat: "I am open to the energy of the universe. I am ready to receive whatever it has prepared for me."

   • Visualize the light of the Divine descending upon you, filling you with peace and confidence.

4. Meditation on the Care of the Universe: Imagine the universe taking on all your worries and concerns. Repeat to yourself: "I trust the universe. It cares for me, guides me, and protects me."

5. Conclusion: Feel gratitude for the opportunity to be in such a place. Stay in this state for a few moments, feeling peace and unity with the universe.
