Experiencing the Holy Temple in our own Spiritual Practice (Part 3): The Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire of Prayer

The time period that we are in now is commonly referred to as "The Three Weeks of Mourning", when we commemorate the destruction of the Holy Temple and Jerusalem on two different occasions in our history. But we can only feel the depth of these weeks if we understand what the Holy Temple represented and feel some connection to it.

In this mini-series, we will explore the secrets of the Holy Temple, what it represented and how we can connect to that in our own spiritual practice today, especially in the domain of prayer. We will explore how the morning prayer is structured to recreate the Temple experience, and how we can all taste the holiness of the Temple if we step up our awareness of the true essence of prayer.

This is the third of several episodes. In this episode we explore the four sections of prayer and the four sections of the Temple and show how they correspond to our four inner realms and the four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire.
