In this episode of the In Search of More podcast, Eli Nash interviews Rabbi Aryeh Siegel about his transformative journey from a challenging upbringing in Chicago and early educational frustrations to his deep dive into Transcendental Meditation. Rabbi Siegel reflects on his experiences as a TM teacher, critiquing the initiation process and the mystique of its mantras, and contrasts the initial allure of Eastern practices in the 1960s with the eventual disillusionment caused by their commercialization and misrepresentation.Prompted by a profound message from a spiritual authority, Rabbi Siegel shifted away from intensive meditation and renounced elements of Hindu imagery to realign with his Jewish identity. He now advocates for "kosher meditation" as a healthier alternative, emphasizing the importance of integrating meditation practices with Jewish values and exploring the cultural implications of blending Eastern mindfulness traditions with Judaism.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with EliWebsite |<a href="https://bit.ly/eliyahunash" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://bit.ly/eliyahunash</a>Instagram |<a href="https://bit.ly/eliyahu_nash" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://bit.ly/eliyahu_nash</a>Facebook |<a href="http://bit.ly/3h3rFSr" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">http://bit.ly/3h3rFSr</a>YouTube |<a href="https://youtube.com/@insearchofmore" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://youtube.com/@insearchofmore</a>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Subscribe to the In Search of More Podcast:<a href="www.youtube.com/@InSearchOfMore?sub_confirmation=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">www.youtube.com/@InSearchOfMore?sub_confirmation=1</a>For booking inquiries, email: booking@insearchofmorepodcast.comJoin Our WhatsApp:<a href="https://wa.me/message/PBH5QDJQNQ5LJ1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://wa.me/message/PBH5QDJQNQ5LJ1</a>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Follow us on social mediaFacebook |<a href="http://bit.ly/3jr9eYT" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">http://bit.ly/3jr9eYT</a>Instagram |<a href="http://bit.ly/3JsvU5I" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">http://bit.ly/3JsvU5I</a>TikTok |<a href="http://bit.ly/3XZ60Lo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">http://bit.ly/3XZ60Lo</a>Twitter |<a href="http://bit.ly/3XNgxsR" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">http://bit.ly/3XNgxsR</a>
