Living in our Bodies

Join Rabbi Nicole Auerbach as she leads a guided meditation focused on bodily awareness and appreciation, to notice pleasant sensations as part of the Jewish practice of counting the Omer between Passover and Shavuot. Drawing inspiration from the Torah portion Tazria-Metzora and the concept of Tiferet (beauty/harmony), she emphasizes how our bodies contain wisdom that helps us discern when to engage with community and when to turn inward for healing. The meditation invites participants to experience the continuous renewal of creation through mindful attention to bodily sensations, using the mantra uvtuvo michadesh (new each moment) as an anchor for awareness.
