Zion I am sorry to ask this, but what is KLIPOT?
Thank You.
Klipot, translated as “Shells”. It related to all negativity that create separation between us and the light. Some Klipot are in existence for us to break through and reveal the light. We create Klipot with our negativity and by that distance ourself from the light. Some Kilpot are hard to break and some are easy. It is all depend on our Tikkun process.
Shalom Zion Nefesh,I love the new ketores , You guessed it ,can I get the text in a form where I can convert the whole thing into ashuris? Sincerely, Yaakov Meir. By the way I look forward to transforming the zohar into ashuris. Im really getting the hang of it .. A demo parsha soon to come , maybe 2-3 days as I have work etc .
Zion I would like to know if it is very important to recite this Pray as you do? with the same sounds?
“Zion I would like to know if it is very important to recite this Pray as you do? with the same sounds?”
No. read it or scan it as you can. I recites the text my way to give it an elevated state to benefit the people that can not read.
Zion again ME, I was reading SIMJA H BENYOSEF book, and He says that after SHEMA we should read KEDUSHA, that is very important but I can`t find it, should we do it?
Kedusha can be recited only in Minyan (At least ten men). It is a section that is added just before the third blessing tat bring the balance of the three columns into one. That is why we do it in standing position.
Individually, you can read it but not aloud.
As always thank you Zion for bringing light to my life.
e verdade q o incenso de canela traz beneficios se for aceso no Havdala´?
Could you please translate me what Maria Benedicto is saying. in english or better in spanish.
Thank you Zion.
Shabbat Shalom to everybody.
Google translate this from Portuguese as
“qo and true cinnamon incense burning brings benefits if the Havdalah “
“qo and true cinnamon incense burning brings benefits if the Havdalah ‘”
I did not hear of burning it during Havdalah. It can be used to make the blessing of “Boreh minei Besamim”.
In general cinnamon is a very positive incense. It is described in Song of Songs 4:14 as one of the top incense.
Shabbat Shalom Zion, Thank you for always been there when I need you, Bless be you and your family
Thank you
thanks Zion por ser 1 instrumento do Eterno q transmite sabedoria e luz
Zion, I am a humble product of America and have never learned Hebrew, but I do know the alef-bet somewhat. Does listening to you and scanning also draw the light that reforms ?
Shalom

Hello Zion,
I would like to ask you a question in regards to this page. I scanned yesterday the ‘View/Download and expanded version to remove negativity.’ At night I had a dream about ‘things’ coming out of me, my intuition tells me that it was a good thing. It was actually like woman have their period but in big quantities, sorry for sensitive people for the additional details, but I just wanted to see if you, Zion, had any comment about this (I am sure it could happen to many other women).
About these kabbalistic meditations links that you have above, is there any instructions one should follow?
Thank you again and please no rush, whenever you have time to answer I will appreciate it.
Take care,
Lisa
Zion good morning you know how much I love this PRAY FOR PROTECTION, I would like to know the words, and what does it says, I can feel it in my heart and something wonderful happen in me every time I scann it. could you please help me.
SHABBAT SHALOM

It is a very powerful prayer.
Please search on Google for “pitum haketoret” and you’ll find many references.
It is in the prayer books so there are translations to many languages.
Shalom Zion,
there are few links to download Pitum haKtoret in this page.
Today I opened the last one (Adobe) and I found some problem with the letters at the end of the page 1/2 and at beggining of the page 2/2.
Thank you for everything, shavua tov and lots of Light to alll,
Lea
Lea, I checked all the links and they appear to be fine (all pages).
Try downloading the file first to your PC then open it. It could be incompatibile version of Adobe PDF reader. Check for upgrade to the reader. It is free.
Thank you Zion, for the reply.
The only link for Pitum HaKtoret I saw this problem is the one “Download article as PDF” -- with the Adobe logo on its left, above Responses……….
Actually it happens in the last phrase in page 1/2 and in the second phrase in page 2/2.
In anyway I will do the Adobe upgrade and once more, many thanks.
Blessings, all the best and lots of Light to all,
Lea

Greetings,
I am very interested in reading ( pray ) the above text on a daily basis but I can not read hebrew and would like to know if there is a translated version in English for me to read.
Best regards
Do not use translated version for meditation. You need the Hebrew text for it. The text describe the process that the High priest follow in the Holy Temple to prepare the 11 incense. The energy comes from the Hebrew text not any other translated language.
You can use http://dailyzohar.com/hebtrans.php to transliterate any Hebrew text.
Copy it from this page and paste it into the transliteration utility.
While listening to the reading follow the text you prepared

Parashat HaKetoret
http://dailyzohar.com/wp-content/uploads/audio/pitum-ketoret.mp3
Best times to recite it is in the early morning, after first light and in the afternoon, before sundown. Not much impact if recited at night time. Do Ana B’Koach after it to strengthen and protect it.
