Shemirat ha-Britשמירת הברית

Guarding the covenant — Yesod's own discipline. Yesod is the sefirah of the covenant and the seed; conserving the life-force rather than spending it (and tikkun ha-brit, its mending) is the native Kabbalistic continence teaching, developed at length by the Lurianic and Breslov schools. The seed guarded below becomes light raised above: the exact Judaic face of every regeneration teaching in the kindred traditions.
