-Zohar
We must pray so forcefully
that all the limbs of Man and his strength,
his eyes and ears, heart, mouth and all senses are in the prayer,

as one with what we have and pray for at that very moment,
and that is God.

the man goes out with the upper body,
while the lower one remains on the ground.

in a kind of irradiation.
Prayer increases the vibration of the aura
so man becomes invulnerable to the surrounding power.
