Great for Beginners

I read this book from cover to cover, then began focusing on some of the different meditations, prayers and movements. This is a very easy way to start learning about Jewish meditation. This book doesn't bog you down, nor does it put too much on your plate at once. Also, a cassette tape is available from the publisher, that leads the prayers, movements and meditations. I plan to purchase that as well!

helping me play with movement and prayer

This book is helping me play with movement and prayer. There are also great visualizations and discussions of healing. I also value the phrase-by-phrase translations / explanations of the traditional prayers.
