How to Talk To G-d
Pour out your heart.
Pour out your own words in the language
of your heart before the Master of the universe.
This can include compliments, complaints, excuses,
words seeking acceptance & forgiveness, and words of praise.
Say it out loud. Speech has a great power to awaken a person spiritually.
The meditation must be spoken out loud, at least loud enough for honesty.
Speak to G-d as you would to your closest friend.
Your conversation with G-d should be in the everyday language that you normally.
Then it will be easy to express your deepest thoughts and feelings and your heart
will be drawn up after the words. Express everything that is in your heart and tell
it to G-d. Thank G-d for every blessing in your life. Ask G-d for everything you
need, no matter how large or small.
Sighing. The breath of the sigh is drawn from the breath of life with which G-d
created the world. When you breathe long and deep, you draw in new life. The sigh
you let out because you are far from holiness breaks the bond of impurity which
was trapping you. Then the soul can draw nearer to the body and whisper its
message of G-dliness. Be sure to sigh from the depths of your heart and draw
in a full measure of the breath of life.
Don't be afraid to cry. Crying is a very powerful way to communicate with G-d.
Crying should never be forced or anticipated. But when you reach the deepest
expressions of your heart, it is inevitable that you will sob with profound feeling
whether from pain or joy which ultimately unify in the highest emotion. It is only
when the heart breaks open that true change can take place.
