Today I ran across a short documentary video that does a great job of introducing the concept of Hitbodedut to a wider audience:
According to Rebbe Nachman:
“Hitbodedut is the greatest thing - above all else. That is to establish at least one hour or more to be alone in some room, or in the field, and to voice one’s dialogue between himself and his Owner. Reasoning and arguing with graceful words of appeasement and conciliation, requesting and beseeching before Him who is Blessed to bring one close to His service in truth. And this prayer and supplication should be in the language one speaks naturally.”
-Likutei Moharan II, 25
Yeshua, himself, encouraged the practice of spending time alone in prayer:
"But you, when you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. For your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."
-Matthew 6:6
