Attendees must bring their own: WaterYoga matCushion or pillow for seated posturesOphanim "angels of form" is an ancient mystic system of meditation integrated with body postures which works with the spiritual and energetic attributes of the Hebrew letters. Ophanim works simultaneously as a physical exercise, breathing practice, meditation on breath, body awareness, and internal sound, attunement with the creation, clearing of the mind and renewal of internal energy. It is comparable to the Chinese Chi-kung exercises in terms of renewing internal energy and presents the return of a form of "yoga" or unification of soul, body and world which, according to the Kabalists, goes back to the creation of man and is considered to be part of the universal heritage of humanity. On a psychological level working with the letters helps to develop a bridge of communication between the most interior and most exterior parts of the soul. A person is more able to listen to and distinguish their inner voice, the voice of God within. In terms of physical health and healing, the letter postures revitalize and harmonize all of the energy channels of the body.
