Jerusalem Consciousness is a Jewish meditation and mindfulness podcast designed for a world that feels increasingly overwhelming. At a time marked by war, uncertainty, and rising antisemitism, this podcast offers a space to pause, breathe, and reconnect—with ourselves, our bodies, and something deeper. Hosted by certified meditation instructor Liam Reis, each episode guides listeners through accessible, Jewish-rooted mindfulness practices centered on kavanah—the power of setting intention.

Whether you’re looking to manage stress, deepen your spiritual connection, or simply take a few minutes to reset, Jerusalem Consciousness invites you to come as you are—and return, again and again, to a sense of presence, intention, and oneness.

12 MAY 2026 · This week on Jerusalem Consciousness, we continue our exploration of consciousness — moving out of the thinking mind and into the heart, or Lev in Hebrew. In a world pulled toward the material, the heart offers a refuge and a doorway to something deeper.
As another Jewish meditator, Richard Alpert(aka Ram Das) would say, "Quiet the mind and open the heart." Using Lev as our mantra, we slow down, turn inward, and reconnect with an awareness that lives beyond thought. Settle in, breathe naturally, and join us. This podcast was produced by Sam Fisher, written by Liam Reis, edited by Sam Fisher, music by Adi Goldstein, Ambient Boy.
5 MAY 2026 · This week on Jerusalem Consciousness, we explore the Jewish meditation practice of engraving, a technique that invites us to hold a Hebrew letter in the mind as a pathway to deeper spiritual awareness. In this guided meditation, we focus on the letter aleph, the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, often associated with the Ein Sof, or the infinite. Through this practice, we turn our attention inward with intention, opening ourselves to connection, presence, and meaning. This podcast was produced by Sam Fisher, written by Liam Reis, edited by Sam Fisher, music by Adi Goldstein, Ambient Boy.
28 APR 2026 · This week on Jerusalem Consciousness, we enter into the spacious awareness of HaMakom—the Divine as “The Place,” the ground that holds all things while remaining beyond them. Drawing on this ancient name, we explore what it means to live within a reality that is at once intimate and infinite, where every breath, every moment, is woven into a larger field of presence. In this meditation, we gently anchor ourselves in the mantra HaMakom, returning again and again to the thread that connects us to something eternal. As distractions arise and fall away, we practice softening into the space within and around us—discovering a quiet sense of freedom, expansiveness, and belonging. Settle in, breathe naturally, and join me as we bridge the gap between the infinite and the deeply personal, carrying this awareness with us into the days ahead. This podcast was produced by Sam Fisher, written by Liam Reis, edited by Sam Fisher, music by Adi Goldstein, Ambient Boy.
21 APR 2026 · This week, in the third episode, Jerusalem Consciousness, we center on Achdut—unity and togetherness—and what it means to belong to Am Yisrael, the People of Israel. On today's journey into mindfulness and spirit, we soften the edges of the self and reconnect with something larger: a shared story that stretches across generations. This practice invites us to remember our collective identity, to release isolation, and to step into a deeper awareness of connection with our ancestors, with one another, and with those who will come after us. Settle in, breathe naturally, and join us as we cultivate gratitude, presence, and a renewed sense of unity. Tune in next week as we continue to deepen our practice of Jewish meditation. This podcast was produced by Sam Fisher, written by Liam Reis, edited by Sam Fisher, music by Adi Goldstein, Ambient Boy.

27 MAR 2026 · Our first recording session was interrupted by a missile attack, and we had to finish the episodes at the Miklat(bomb shelter).

We hope and pray that these wars will end and peace will come to the entire MENA region. This podcast was produced by Sam Fisher, written by Liam Reis, edited by Sam Fisher, music by Adi Goldstein, Ambient Boy.
26 MAR 2026 · “Welcome to Jerusalem Consciousness, Jewish meditations for everyday use that allow us to discover the power of setting an intention, Kavanah in Hebrew, in our mindfulness practice.
I’m Liam Reis, a certified mindfulness meditation instructor.
My belief that regular meditation can give us superpowers was validated during my core teaching experience, leading group meditations as a volunteer instructor at a maximum-security prison in Ohio.
It is important to clarify that although I have studied observant Jewish practice at a Yeshiva in Jerusalem, I am not a Rabbi or a fully observant Jew.
I simply identify as “just a Jew,” like many of you tuning in.
Let's come together wherever we are, as whoever we are, to let go of our egos and practice returning to the source of ever-present oneness.”
In doing so, we honor our ancestors whose ancient practice of Jewish meditation can serve as a guide for our return.” This podcast was produced by Sam Fisher, written by Liam Reis, edited by Sam Fisher, music by Adi Goldstein, Ambient Boy.
