The Zohar is written primarily in Aramaic with some Hebrew words. The characters are the Hebrew letters. And, the meaning of the words is almost never literal. Even when translated into other languages, the Zohar is still difficult to understand. So, we must keep certain fundamental principles in mind to make it work for us.
To begin with, usage of the Hebrew alphabet is of great significance. As the Zohar explains, the world was created and is sustained by the power of the Hebrew alphabet; the letters, in fact, are the DNA of the universe. Although this is a hard concept to grasp, it is an important one. So, before you dismiss the power of the Hebrew alphabet, think about this: Do you believe that your voice can travel to the other side of the world through a little device made out of sea sand, soil, and oil, and which only needs a battery or the rays of the sun to work?
In order to make use of your mobile phone, you don’t need to believe in what it can do because even if you didn’t, the phone would still function for what it was designed. The same goes for the Hebrew letters.
Because the spiritual system can actually “understand” Hebrew, Aramaic–a more divine language that makes use of the Hebrew letters–is intended to bypass the negative elements that can be found in the system. The “outsiders” residing within the spiritual system seek to capture all the energy they can have access to for their survival. Therefore, Aramaic is used to safeguard spiritual connections to the Upper Worlds.
Furthermore, the most important prayers are recited in Aramaic because the language helps bridge our world to the spiritual realms. And, Aramaic is also used to elevate the souls of the recently departed. Not surprisingly, the Zohar uses Aramaic for this exact reason, thus we can use the Zohar to elevate our souls to a higher spiritual level.
Another element of the Zohar’s language is the codes and symbols in its discussions. We may read about day or night, but it actually refers to spiritual aspects and dimensions. When it speaks about walking on a path or climbing a mountain, this is likely alluding to a form of spiritual elevation. And, when it says that Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, author of the Zohar, cried, this relates to seeing the future and/or the process of entering the spiritual level of Chokmah, the level which is the father of all spiritual emanations.
Lastly, quotes from the Bible are used throughout the Zohar to connect us to the specific energy at their root. And, all Zohar discussion about the Hebrew letters open channels of energy or create paths for spiritual elevations.
Clearly, the language of the Zohar is so complex that it even requires we suspend our tendency of disbelieve. Yet, with the proper understanding of its main components, we can begin to understand it and use it how it was intended.

El lenguaje del Zohar y como entenderlo.
Por Zion Nefesh
Traduccion al español, Sebastian Palen
El Zohar está escrito principalmente en arameo con algunas palabras hebreas. Los caracteres son las letras hebreas. Y el significado de las palabras casi nunca es literal. Incluso cuando se traduce a otros idiomas, el Zohar es aún difícil de entender. Por lo tanto, tenemos que seguir ciertos principios fundamentales y tenerlos en cuenta para hacer que funcione para nosotros.
Para empezar, el uso del alfabeto hebreo es de gran importancia. Como explica el Zohar, el mundo fue creado y es sostenido por el poder del alfabeto hebreo, las letras, de hecho, son el ADN del universo. Aunque este es un concepto difícil de entender, es muy importante. Por lo tanto, antes de descartar el poder del alfabeto hebreo, piense en esto: ¿Cree usted que su voz puede viajar al otro lado del mundo a través de un pequeño dispositivo hecho con arena de mar, tierra y aceite, y que sólo necesita una batería o los rayos del sol para trabajar?
Con el fin de hacer uso de su teléfono móvil, no es necesario creer en lo que puede hacer porque aunque no lo hizo, en el teléfono seguiría la función para lo que fue diseñado. Lo mismo se aplica las letras hebreas.
Debido a que el sistema espiritual realmente puede entender hebreo arameo, un lenguaje más divino que hace uso de las letras hebreas, se pretende pasar por alto los elementos negativos que se pueden encontrar en el sistema. Los “de afuera” que residen dentro del sistema espiritual tratan de capturar toda la energía que puede tener acceso para su supervivencia. Por lo tanto, el arameo es utilizado para proteger las conexiones espirituales de los Mundos Superiores.
Por otra parte, las oraciones más importantes se recitan en arameo, porque esta lengua es un puente de nuestro mundo a los mundos espirituales. Y el arameo también se utiliza para elevar las almas de los recién fallecidos. No es sorprendente que el Zohar esté en arameo por esta razón precisamente; por lo tanto podemos utilizar el Zohar para elevar nuestras almas a un nivel espiritual más elevado.
Otro elemento de la lengua del Zohar está en los códigos y símbolos en sus debates. Podríamos leer acerca del día o la noche, pero en realidad se refiere a los aspectos espirituales y dimensiones. Cuando se habla de caminar en una camino o subir una montaña, es probable que esto alude a una forma de elevación espiritual. Y, cuando dice que el rabino Shimon bar Iojai, autor del Zohar, lloró, esto se relaciona con ver el futuro y / o el proceso de entrar en el nivel espiritual de Jojma (sabiduría), el nivel que es el padre de todas las emanaciones espirituales.
Por último, citas de la Biblia son utilizadas en todo el Zohar para conectarnos con una energía específica en su raíz. Y, toda discusión acerca de las letras hebreas en el Zohar es un abrir canales de energía o crear senderos para elevaciones espirituales.
Es evidente que el lenguaje del Zohar es tan complejo que incluso requiere que nosotros suspendamos nuestra tendencia de no creer. Sin embargo, con la adecuada comprensión de sus principales componentes, podemos empezar a entenderlo y usarlo como estaba previsto.

I will like to know if the word ADONAI in aramaic is written : yud hei vav hei.Can you please tell me is there is other way to wrte it or if this is the wright way!
Thanks.
The higher name if God is יהוה YHVH as you spell it. We should not read it as is. It is used to see it with our eyes only. we use the name of god that is in the lower worlds and it is ADNY אדני alef,dalet,nun,yod.
the holy names are not in Aramaic.
When you see YHVH in any article on the site, bring the mouse over it and it will show you the name in sacred font.
>>And, Aramaic is also used to elevate the souls of the recently departed.
>>
What does it mean RECENTLY departed?
E.g. if i have someone in my familly ( very close to me ) who departed this world few years ago and there is speculation/sensitivity this person has done something bad and he did not have the chance to receive forgiveness while living his life. At the same time I feel/sense/speculate the effects not possible to forgive in live: Are prayers in Aramaic universal language for launching forgiveness and elevate soul of that person?
When the soul leaves the body it goes through a process of cleansing. The stages are first 7 days, 30 days and 12 months. After that the soul would probably reincarnate or keep with the cleansing process on the spiritual level. The cleansing is all the impurities that the soul experienced in the physical world.
During the first year, the close relative(s) recite kadish in a Minyan. It is in Aramaic and the light of the Kadish help the soul in its process.
After that the only thing that could support the soul is dedicating actions in this world under the name of the family member that passed aways. Forgiving that person for the wrongs that he did against us is very good for them.
In fact it is better to forgive everyone that hurt us before we go to sleep.
Thank you Zion for sensitivity and answer.
What is the spiritual technology of forgiving to departed person?
I mean It is not just to say: I am forgiving you PERSON’S NAME…
Before your answer I could imagine forgiving with meditating or directing with one of the G_d’s name of 72′s names to the soul.
To visualize radiating the soul with light , love ( as I sense love on the level of spiritual growth I am or I can express it )?
The other technology reading in your lines is doing good things in the name of that person? What sort of actions in daily life should be?
Specially in the phase of life when overcomming with own fears, spiritual growth, obstacles.
Let me add it that this person is somehow cause ( parent ) of my existence but very early run away or denied my existence. But the life keep us departed and I also did not developed awarness for his existence while that person was living. It is just speculation that present conscious process on other aspects of life where I sense obstacles and challenges demanded somehow connection to the soul and open myself for the process of supporting elevating that soul. The problem I see this could be selfish Ego based desire just to ease present spiritual growth on the account of lackness of our mutual connection in the early childhood and later while growing.
A song came to my mind, “my name is Sue” by Johnny cash. I guess that you know it and its message.
The fact that you are now close to the wisdom of the Zohar and Kabbalah means that you are on the right path.
Some ‘lacks’ in your life created the desire for the light that lead us to where you are now with huge potential growth and understanding of the spiritual system.
It’s a commandment to honor our parents because they are the channel of light and our tikkun process.
It’s the spiritual connection that gives them the right for the respect, not their actions in this world.
Forgive,Love, respect and stay with the light.
>>>It’s a commandment to honor our parents because
>>>they are the channel of light and our tikkun
>>>process.
>>>It’s the spiritual connection that gives them the
>>>right for the respect, not their actions in this world.
>>>Forgive,Love, respect and stay with the light.
I thought I should be afraid of the answers that are giving me encouragement because next moment I could be in doubt or aditional sub-question.
Your answer gave me encouragement.
So there is only question of implementation of spiritual technology ( actions, practice ) for forgiving, loving, respecting.
Deeply gratefull for your sharing,
Dear Zion
I think i read somewhere on the site, that it might be best not to read or translate the Aramaic/Hebrew into an understanding in English, so that we do not develop concepts that limit how these symbols and their energies will unfold in our lives.
1) Is it best to just scan and listen to the accompanying sound bites of each section, letting the soul recognize and respond to it in a pure way, and let that be it?
OR
2) do that AND read commentaries and such about them, that you publish?
I trust my Being 100% to get the message without translation/commentary, but i don’t know that it works that way, nor do i want to miss out on anything i SHOULD be doing that could broaden the impact of the work here. Sorry……..i am a newbie!
; )
Peace
The eyes are the highest sense and it is at the level of Chokmah. The ears are on the level of Binah. The mouth is Malchut.
Scanning only is good if done consistently. That is the reason for the daily zohar that delivers daily Zohar section to your email. If a person wish to study more he comes to the site.
Studying the commentary increases the vessel and allow more light from the scanning and hearing to nourish the soul.
Follow your desires to connect and draw light into your life to help you with the tikkun process. Do not try to take too much too fast. Like physical food, it can be negative. I knew people that open themselves too fast and their tikkun process also hit them fast and hard to match their desires. some disconnected themselves to be free from the tikkun process.
The thing is that we can not run away from our tikkun, we can just postponed it for later in life or for next life, but later is also harder.
As you grow spiritually you’ll feel how important every action you make. You can not push people anymore, You can drop a piece of trash by accident without picking it immediately and dispose it properly, even if nobody sees you. Etc…
As a newbie I suggest to you taking ‘baby steps’ until you walk with balance. Later you can start running.
Thank you so much! Interestingly, a lot of this preparation of conscientiousness has come from the study of Gnosis, years ago, a great prep for many things, but i realize that what you speak of will come from deeper than just cerebral decisions about behavior. I will take your suggestions.
Also (and i don’t mean to overwhelm you with requests), but, is there a way to test whether exorcism has been successful? As mentioned before, i am helping myself this way, but don’t have the “sight” or developed senses to know how far my efforts have gotten. I don’t like to ask seers…..i’d prefer an independent system by which i can tell, that i can rely on, since i also plan to help others with such matters.
Someone asked me once “How to be a kabbalist healer?”, I told him “First become a kabbalist.”.
It’s a simple answer but it is important to know the basics before you try to role up sleeves to remove negative entities from a person.
Study why it happens? Who is affected by it? in what ways? what kind of souls/entities enters a person?
This is like trying to defuse bomb. If you don;t study the bombs well it can explode in your face.
The simple way to help people is to remove all negativities (darkness) by bringing the light in. negative souls can not stay if the person connect to the light. It is better to let the soul leave by choice than force it to do so. Depend on the level of connection and dependency. the entity could even kill the host.
Thank you, Dear Zion!
Peace!
Hello Zion,
Thank you so much for your posts. It definitely brings a lot of clarity. I’m grateful I just read this one, because I started doing Reiki long distance and I do see entities in people, and don’t really know what to do. My teacher which is a Jewish spiritual person told me to ask the guides to release them and to always protect yourself in case they come in you. If they do, again ask your guides to release them and to take baths with salt water. Do you recommend anything else? Or do you have any comments on this?
I love how you said when you connect to the light, they cannot live in you. Because a dear person in my life always told me ‘the most important thing is to believe in Hashem and connect to Him’. While I was so concerned with healings and different methods without ever connecting to Him. This is why no matter what you do as a healing to someone, if they don’t believe, it will come back. I am so grateful to be where I am today.
Do you recommend anything for the Reiki session?
Where can one learn about the entities?
Is there moments we cannot scan the Zohar? Ex: at night, when a woman has her period. What can we do to make sure we are ‘clean spiritually’ before scanning?
Thank you Zion,
Best regards to you and many blessings,
All the best,
Lisa
A woman in her period goes through a judgement process as death comes to the egg and removed from the body. In such time better not to touch a sacred book but you can use online source such as dailyzohar.com, unityzohar.com and zohar.com
I started a system to provide recorded Zohar over the phone
Dial-in Number: (641) 715-3800
Access Code: 60238
push 2 for the weekly portion 5 minutes average recording or the dailyzohar number for the daily section (about one minute average length)
For pregnant woman it should be very beneficent to read from a Zohar book everyday. The process of life is increasing in the body and the Zohar helps to make it on a higher level. The red color that represents judgment turns in white (milk). The body is in balance because milk comes from right and left.
Reiki is about channeling the life force to another being to remove negativity and bring him into balance to let the body triggers its natural healing ability. As a channel you should be as pure as possible especially with long distance work.
Before and after a healing session better to cleanse your spiritual energy with immersion in a Mikveh or large body of water (ocean, lake, pool, jacuzzi). any negativity on you may attract the other side and drain your energy.
Increase your ability to channel light force by connecting to the sacred text of the Zohar. DO NOT MIX Reiki symbols/channels with sacred names in Hebrew.
Hello Zion,
Thank you for the wonderful reply, it is very appreciated.
It’s amazing to learn about what happens to a woman. Thank you for the number for the recorded Zohar.
I’m very grateful for the information you gave me on Reiki. I have been feeling more tired than usual after long distance sessions this week. I live in Montreal Canada, unfortunately there is no large bodies of water and I am a Noahide so unfortunately I cannot go to a Mikveh, is there anything else that can be done?
Thank you again Zion, this is very precious to me.
Lisa
Use any kind of pool. It’s important for you to keep your energy. If you are cleanse, with pure consciousness and meditation you should feel better than worse.
If a person broke his leg he goes to the Dr. that put the pieces together. The body heals itself. Remove the negative from yourself then meditate that you use the the omni present light/life force to send to the other person to remove any spiritual obstacles that they may have and disturbe their healing.
You are not the healer. You are a channel of healing energy. Keep that in mind, remove the ego and you will stay and grow strong and successful.

Hi Zion,
I was only able to reply through this message.
Thank you again. Definitely it was everything I needed to hear. Thank you for the link also. It is very precious information and wisdom.
G-d bless you
Lisa
Hello Zion,
Something came up in my mind today and I wanted to confirm with you if it is right. Whenever you have time I would appreciate a confirmation.
You said NOT TO MIX sacred names in Hebrew with Reiki symbols. I remembered today that 1 month ago when I was doing Reiki session, I would visualize or write with my hand (like the Reiki symbols) on the person ‘the letters : yod-aleph-shin-yod-he-vav’ which means G-d heals. So, that’s wrong?
I would do that because a part of me wanted to make sure the Reiki is ‘Kosher’. My faith is in Hashem and I know I am only a channel for Him, therefore is there something else I can say?
Thank you so much,
Shabbat Shalom
I read the Daily Zohar’s everyday, Thank G-d, I feel very blessed, I expand my vessel everyday. And thank you for all your many endeavors.
Someone asked me once “How to be a kabbalist healer?”, I told him “First become a kabbalist.”.
It’s a simple answer but it is important to know the basics before you try to role up sleeves to remove negative entities from a person.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….Dear Zion
The person who i am working on, is actually me. The esoteric school that has been teaching me about exorcism has let me attend to it, so that when i work on others, i have knowledge from experience.
I am somewhere between the basics and not being at the level of being able to diagnose and “see”. That has been done for me by two separate seers from 2 different schools. saw the creature once, years ago, but did not know it had stayed with me.
My main teacher has said that from ego integration and constant application of mantras/prayers, i have dislodged many of the roots of the entity and a particularly short time. This matches up a lot with what you say. My teacher runs a huge school, so i have to work a lot on my own.
I am also dying to help other people, but am trying to be patient with research and treatment on myself. I have felt a definite increase of inner peace, confidence and some happiness, using the Ana Beko’ach/Invoking Archangels and Schekinah/Zohar as you present it here, including the various scannings for evil and Klippoth.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Study why it happens? Who is affected by it? in what ways? what kind of souls/entities enters a person?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
* Can i safely do this by interviewing the entity itself?
One school (not mine) says to talk to it, ask it what it was before it’s present state, then before that, and before that, until it reveals it’s basic nature, which may be a nature spirit-gone-wrong, or something of the like. The next step is to ask it what it would like to be in what type of existence. It seems that when it recalls being in balance, it will choose that as a future path.
I don’t normally ascribe to New Age philosophy or tactics, but this seemed to make sense. I have not tried it, since those doing it might be being deceived by the entities themselves!
* Does this make any sense to you?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
This is like trying to defuse bomb. If you don;t study the bombs well it can explode in your face.
The simple way to help people is to remove all negativities (darkness) by bringing the light in. negative souls can not stay if the person connect to the light. It is better to let the soul leave by choice than force it to do so. Depend on the level of connection and dependency. the entity could even kill the host.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
This all makes VERY good sense…….fortunately i feel no fear, more just practical interest and treat it as a learning/clinical experience. I was angry, but no more.
Bless you!
Peace
Zazel! : )
Hello Zion,
Just read “The Language of the Zohar and How to Understand It”… Okay…I realize that in scanning the Language I must read/scan it from RIGHT to Left…learn many codes and symbols .. as well as to learn of the Energy Matter of the Hebrew letters….So….I purchased the book “THE ENGERGY OF HEBREW LETTERS” by Rav Berg….May I be granted Wisdom, Knowledge and Understaning of what I see and experience.
Blessings
I am somewhat new to this (that I know of). There must be a reason for me finding out about this after falling in love with Rabbi Nachman’s teachings. In my 42 years, I have never realized connecting to something this interesting and powerful was possible. I wanted to share a sad but uplifting true story with you:
This past Chanukah was interesting to say the least. On Friday, December 23rd, upon getting home from work, I had a voice message at home from my mother that my grandmother (Eva Wise – Chava Bat Shlomo) was in rough shape at the Apotex Baycrest Centre (Jewish Home for the Aged). The doctor gave her 2 days to live. Sadly, she passed away on December 25th at 2:00 AM, she was 97. I was saying Tehilim at our kitchen table, and at 5:30pm on December 25th received a call from my mother-in-law, that Ida Alperovich (Ida Bat Eliezar) passed away at approximately 5:00 PM, she was 86. Is that weird, or what -- both grandmothers passed away on the same day. They say that misery loves company, but this was just too much to take. Both grandmothers knew each other, and communicated in the past in Russian and Yiddish, so their Neshamas were probably communicating. Bother were buried in Toronto on December 26th and Liora (my wife) and I could not be at each other’s funerals because they were at roughly the same time and at different cemeteries.
I was home alone on December 28th as my wife and kids were staying over at Liora’s Aunt’s (daughter of Ida) home. I had some pictures of my family with Eva with Moishe (her deceased husband) next to my bed, and I could not sleep – I put the pictures in my closet but that didn’t help. I decided to turn on my computer and write a piece of music. I did a bit of research on rhythmic dance to get the right tempo. Both of our daughters are taking dance. So, I launched my music composition software and it usually gives me an out of memory error, but this time it did not, and I usually have to toggle my MIDI connection between speakers and the device, but everything was working fine. I was not tired at all, and wrote through the night and was finished at 3:30AM on December 29th. The piece is written for Piano and Violin and it was absolutely effortless writing and I felt like Eva, Ida, Moishe, and Laizer (Moishe’s brother) were with me and were helping me write it.
I went to Shul on December 29th to put on Tefillin, and told my Rabbi about the story and he didn’t know what to say. I was analyzing their names, who I dedicated the piece of music to (Eva Wise and Ida Alperovitch) and saw that Eva (Elokim) and Alperovich (Adoshem) were their names surrounded by G-d’s names. I contacted a girls in my band who studies music at York University and told her about the piece and thought it might be a neat idea to have it performed live at my daughter’s end-of year dance recital, which was held last year at the North York Centre for the Performing Arts with 2 dancers (representing both grandmothers) with live musicians. Unfortunately, the piece will not be performed live this time.
The piece is called “Dearly Departed Souls” and you can take a listen to it and let me know what you think of it at:

As a musician, I find that creating and playing music really touches my Neshama. Maybe that is why the great sages used Niggunim with music to attach ourselves to the Hebrew words, as Hebrew and Aramaic attach ourselves and protect us.
Tradução: A Linguagem do Zohar e como entendê-lo
O Zohar foi escrito primeiramente em Aramaico com algumas palavras em hebraico. Os caracteres são as letras hebraicas. E, o significado das palavras quase nunca é literal. Mesmo quando traduzidos para outras línguas, o Zohar é ainda difícil de entender. Então, devemos manter alguns princípios fundamentais em mente para fazer isso funcionar para nós.
Para começar, o uso do alfabeto hebraico é de grande importância. Como o Zohar explica, o mundo foi criado e é mantido pelo poder do alfabeto hebraico, as letras, na verdade, são o DNA do universo. Embora este seja um conceito difícil de entender, é um passo importante. Portanto, antes de descartar o poder do alfabeto hebraico, pense nisso: Você acredita que sua voz pode viajar para o outro lado do mundo através de um pequeno dispositivo feito de areia, mar, solo e óleo, e que só precisa uma bateria ou os raios do sol para trabalhar?
A fim de fazer uso de seu celular, você não precisa acreditar no que ele pode fazer, porque mesmo que você não tenha feito, o telefone ainda funciona para o que foi projetado. O mesmo vale para as letras hebraicas.
Porque o sistema espiritual pode realmente “entender” hebraico, aramaico, uma linguagem mais divina que faz uso das letras hebraicas destina-se a ignorar os elementos negativos que podem ser encontrados no sistema. Os outsiders que residem no sistema espiritual procuram capturar toda a energia que pode ter acesso a para a sua sobrevivência. Portanto, o aramaico é usado para proteger as conexões espirituais com os Mundos Superiores.
Além disso, as orações mais importantes são recitadas em Aramaico, porque a língua ajuda a criar uma ponte entre o nosso mundo com os reinos espirituais. E, o Aramaico também é usado para elevar as almas do recentemente falecido. Não surpreendentemente, o Zohar usa o Aramaico, por este exato motivo, assim podemos usar o Zohar para elevar nossas almas a um nível espiritual mais elevado.
Outro elemento da linguagem do Zohar consiste nos códigos e símbolos em suas discussões. Podemos ler sobre o dia ou da noite, mas na verdade se refere aos aspectos espirituais e dimensões. Quando ele fala sobre andar em um caminho ou escalar uma montanha, está provavelmente aludindo a uma forma de elevação espiritual. E, quando diz que Rabi Shimon bar Yochai, autor do Zohar, exclamou, isso se relaciona a ver o futuro e / ou o processo de entrada no nível espiritual de Chochmah, o nível que é o pai de todas as emanações espirituais.
Por fim, citações da Bíblia são usados em todo o Zohar para nos conectar com a energia específica em sua raiz. E, toda a discussão do Zohar sobre as letras hebraicas abrirem canais de energia ou criarem caminhos para elevações espirituais.
Claramente, a linguagem do Zohar é tão complexa que requer até mesmo nós susperdemos a nossa tendência de desacreditar. No entanto, com a devida compreensão de seus principais componentes, podemos começar a entendê-la e usá-lo como foi concebido.

de verdad que le agradezco mucho cada enseñanza cada palabra es una bendición para nuestras vidas,estoy muy sorprendida con la enseñanza del idioma arameo por que jamás le habia dado le importancia que se merece,ya que estuve en una religión donde siempre se le restó importancia,shalom por cada dia abrir mas mis ojos espirituales y se que los de muchos
