In the room a candle flickers, marking the space as sacred. One woman's office now becomes a spiritual sanctuary. The stillness says it all: This is her time with God.
But she's not alone. Today, like most days, she will welcome visitors. Maybe a man will come with a heart that is breaking. Or a woman will tell of a spiritual awakening that followed a recent illness. As diverse as their stories will be, each person visits this woman for one reason alone—spiritual guidance. She will help them explore the tangibility of God in their lives.
Rabbi Amy Eilberg, the woman behind the candle, has known this life for nearly a decade. Rabbi Eilberg is a Jewish spiritual director. She helps people who search for something higher—those who hunger to see God right where they are. Eilberg describes her discipline as "the conscious intent of bringing attention to the presence of God."
