The Baal Shem Tov profoundly affected the way we connect to God by teaching us that everything that we do to connect to God connects us to God. So no matter where you are, God is there, so bridge the gap, press whatever button of your choice (think of what suits your personality best) for no matter what it is, be it a song, an action, or thinking about the unity of God and reality, the very fact you connect to God brings him completely into your psyche, mind-heart and soul, so you will feel connected.
