The Sepher Yetzirah
Basic Meditation
The Sepher Yetzirah describes the basic
forces of creation - the twenty two letters of the Hebrew alphabet. It assigns
to each letter a number of attributes relating to time, space and the human
body.
The following meditation can be used to
restore the harmony of the original creation both within ourselves and in the
wider universe.
The meditation starts with a short
section which is very much like the Lesser Pentagram Ritual of Hermetic kabbalah
but which is based on a traditional Jewish prayer.
If you have any problems in
performing this meditation or any questions relating to it please do contact Mirach.
