Spend Time Alone
Posted by Nathan in Uncategorized, tags: Breslov, Esoterica, Jewisophical, Judaism, Meditation, Rebbe NachmanIt is very good to have a special room set aside for Torah study and prayer. Such a room is especially beneficial for secluded meditation and conversation with G-d.
The Rebbe said that it is very good even just to sit in such a special room. The atmosphere itself is beneficial, even if you sit there and do nothing else.
Even if you do not have a special room, you can still seclude yourself and converse with G-d.
There Rebbe also said that you can create your own special room under your Tallis. Just drape your Tallis over your eyes and converse with G-d as you desire.
You can also seclude yourself with G-d in bed under the covers. This was the custom of King David, as it is written, “Each night I converse from my bed….”
You can also converse with G-d while sitting before an open book. Let others things you are merely studying.
There are many others ways to accomplish this if you truly want to meditate and express your thoughts to G-d. Above all else, this is the root and foundation os holiness and repentance. We have discussed this many times.
There are many ways of going this, but best of all is a secluded room.

I like your idea of an excluded room. It is increasinly hard to find solace in today’s chaotic and loud world. If you can find a small, quiet place take advantage of the opportunity to use it.
