Miracles Meditation for Chanukah
A visualization & meditation process to tap into the powerful hidden light in the Chanukah candles.
By Rabbi Rachamim Bitton
Ideally this is practiced during the first 30 minutes after lighting the menorah.
Prepare yourself by using your imagination to create a scene implying that you’re already living the reality where your desired wish is fulfilled. You could write it down on paper to help yourself remember what that scene looks like. Maybe someone is congratulating you, maybe a loved one is hugging you and embracing you emotionally while saying Mazal Tov in your ear. You would get clear on this scene and all the senses involved in this reality. Rejoice in this miracle. Feel the gratitude and appreciation for this miracle spreading throughout your whole body.
Gaze into the flame {Shal-Hevet}
As per the teaching of the Arizal:
(1) Shal-Hevet consists of the letters that make up the words Shet-Hevel. These are two sons of Adam. We visualize that the aspect of Shet is at the bottom and Hevel above that.
(2) The flame (Shal-Hevet) represents the first two letters of Mitzvah, the Mem and the Tzadi. These two letters represent the first Yud and the first Hei of Hashem’s four letter name (Yud Kay Vav Kay). The letters Mem and Tzadi are interchangeable with Yud and Hey using the At-Bash code.
(3) Intend for the unification of the flame, which represents the Yud and Hey of Hashem’s name, together with the Vav and final Hey of Hashem’s name, which is represented by the burning wick.
The following is a wonderful and powerful meditation...
The first step is to take a few deeper and softer breaths beginning with a deeper exhale. We get into a relaxed and open state.
We set the intention to let go of any attachments and any wanting to control or change anything.
We let go of wanting to change anything about ourselves, anything about this meditation, anything about Chanukah, and anything about what is presently here and now in our life. We allow ourselves to welcome and allow whatever is to be...
and be... and be.
Now that you are experiencing a deeper state and you’re focused more inwardly and you feel more present.
1) Gaze deeply into the light of the candles..
Recognize that the source of all light is HKBH
In the Torah, light and life energy are synonymous.
Chaim and Ohr are synonymous.
The Source of all light is the source of all Life.
Intend and allow yourself to connect to the Source of all Life,
the life of all life..
and the light of all light...
HKBH.
In this Source there are no limitations to Life energy.
There's a constant infinite flow of more and more life and light.
There’s only more and more life,
deeper and deeper,
greater and greater,
sweeter and sweeter experience of life essence,
in this world,
and then eternally as well.
Our intention is to connect and completely surrender to the experience of this light, now. 2) Connect to it and experience it spreading throughout your body and permeating and saturating every cell,
every atom, and every molecule of your body,
of your spiritual body
and your physical body.
Imagine it completely dissolving any blemishes and any blocks...
any darkness which you may be aware of...
or which you are unaware of....
wherever they may be conscious or unconscious, now.
3) Allow yourself to completely surrender to this light,
to this Life energy, to the Source of all Life
until you feel so connected to it that you can imagine and feel you have become it. Become the light...
4) Now, sit in this state for as long as you can,
peacefully and comfortably...
enjoy it.
5) Now, visualize lovingly spreading this light,
sharing this light with your loved ones.
Imagine and visualize sharing it with your family, friends,
those that you are praying for,
(for Ma'ayan bat Devorah Hadassah)
and with all of Am Yisrael.
6) Imagine and visualize kindly spreading and sharing this light with all of Am Yisrael. Become a channel for this light of Hashem’s infinite life,
transmitted through the Chanukah flames,
to be spread throughout the whole world,
permeating and saturating us all,
so profoundly,
dissolving any pain,
healing and transforming us
to renewed living
and a deeper inclusion in the light.
As you spread this light and share it with others, this experience of light intensifies and increases itself for you as well.
7) Now, sit in this feeling of loving kindness for everyone. Recognize and connect to your inherent love for others, your unconditional love and kindness, your intrinsic desire to enrich the lives of others.
From this loving place in your heart,
share this pleasant pleasurable experience of healing, salvation, and loving life energy and it is done. Amen.

Prayer of Miracles at Chanukah Candle Lighting
A prayer written by Rabbi Rachamim Bitton
and Devorah Hadassah Liebermann, mother of Ma'ayan
Creator of the World, I humbly come before You at this auspicious time of candle lighting, to beseech You with my heart's deepest yearning.
Av haRachamim, Master of Compassion, Compassionate Father,
I truly believe that You wish to grant me only revealed good even though I do not merit so. In fact, I believe that You only do good, even though sometimes it is hard to see this through the pain. Would you help me please, oh Dear Father, to align myself with the true nature of Your tremendous kindness hidden within the concealed good so that all my pain is dissolved and transformed into true joy and happiness.
You have turned my lament into dancing for me; You freed me from my sackcloth and girded me with joy.
Would You please help me, my Dearest Father and Creator, to accept all that is, all that has been, and all that will be, with complete acceptance, peace, and even with love and joy. Would you help me experience Your unconditional love present in every moment in time and through every experience in life.
I humbly and wholeheartedly beseech you, oh Dearest One, with my intention now to connect to the Ohr haGanuz (hidden in the light) of
the candles. I ask that I be illuminated by this light, on whichever spiritual plane I currently occupy. Even if I thought I was distant from You, I realize now there is no distance from You. Your light penetrates and permeates all of existence. You are the space containing all space. All of space and time is saturated by your infinite omnipresence. I am opening up my heart and allowing myself to experience and connect with Your great compassion and unconditional love.
You are the Source of all life and light and limitless possibility.
Nature and miracles are equal to you. All of nature is a miracle and all miracles are as easy as nature is for you.
HaShem, please open my heart and eyes to experience and see all the miracles I need and wish for, manifested for me in sweet and tangible ways. I have completely let go and released my control and dependence on nature and I am relying on Your infinite love and kindness. I have completely opened my heart to the light of your decision.
I'm trusting You and I'm relying on You to decide the salvation and to help me and all of us involved, in the sweetest revealed ways.
I'm trusting You to heal Ma'ayan bas Devorah Hadassah (and/or insert your loved one's name).
I'm depending on You to allow her tikkun to be
fulfilled in this life in a revealed, sweet and tangible way.
I have released attachment to any outcome and I’m wholeheartedly relying and trusting in You to decide the result. You are the creator of all the universe and You are the Decider of all that happens. You can surely bring about any tikkun that was intended to come through the concealed good to come about through sweet and revealed good.
Please dissolve any thoughts and feelings of doubt and worry and transform my heart to be completely healed and empowered with clarity and peaceful certainty in your salvation.
I claim this result in advance with complete reliance on You, my beloved Father and Creator, I thank You already now for this salvation and for all the kindness and miracles You have shown me and you are constantly manifesting for me and which You will create and reveal to me again now.
Help me direct my thoughts to You and to wholeheartedly rely on
Your compassion so that the din/judgement (of my loved one [say name]) will be revealed as tangible good in this life. I know there is only You, only kindness and unconditional love. Ain od Milvado.

A Visualization of Healing in Connection to the Chanukah Candles
Devorah Hadassah Liebermann
Alongside the candles, ideally within the first 30 minutes but not excluded to, because in the first 30 minutes there is a very strong connection to the Ohr haGanuz .
Please if you are able to say the prayer for healing before doing this visualization.
Breathe gently and stare into the shal-hevet (flame) per advice of the Arizal.
Set your intention to usher in the refua shlema of Ma'ayan bas Devorah Hadassah and that of your loved ones.
The intention is to connect to the great compassion of HKBH and to release any attachment to any outcome. Ask Hashem to allow you to rely and trust completely upon Him for your desired yeshua. Ask him to set your intention to visualize Ma'ayan completely healed and beseech Him to hear your prayer not based on your merits but upon His great compassion. Set your intention to humbly ask him to allow Ma'ayan to fulfill her tikkun in this life as a revealed, tangible and sweet reality.
Say silently in your mind or as a quiet whisper the following:
Av Ha-Rachamim
I humbly come before you and I beseech You on behalf of your great compassion to allow my words and visualization to be accepted. I yearn for the complete refuah shleima of Ma'ayan bas Devorah Hadassah and I know with full emuna that you yearn to shower compassion upon Ma'ayan not based on my merits but based on your great compassion and unconditional love. Please allow my following visualization to be pleasing in your heart. I
thank You in advance for the miracle that only You could do, and I trust and rely solely upon you for this yeshua. Hashem, I know that You only do good, I trust in You.
1) Imagine now in your mind's eye vividly her healing actualized: Ma'ayan sitting up and talking,
have a conversation with her.
See her blond hair flowing, and blue eyes sparkling.
2) Then imagine her walking and dancing, even holding your hand.
See her run to hug her mother, her father, her siblings as she holds each in a tight embrace.
See her breathing without machines, and even hear her singing.
See her beautiful long fingers play the piano.
See her laughing and playing with her siblings as they sit in wonderment.
3) Imagine that she says to You, Mashiach is here and He will soon be revealed.
Imagine she tells You to always keep in mind the truth of Ain Od Milvado.
4) See her doing all of these things for the glory of HKBH.
See her saying to HKBH, “My life is for You and I will do your Ratzon. I trust and rely solely on You to decide whatever is best for me. I love You unconditionally Abba.”
5) See the glory of HKBH fill the space you are in. Bask in the light permeating every ounce of your being. Keep repeating, “Ain od Milvado” for as long as you can. Just be there silent as long as you can comfortably.
6) Thank HKBH in advance for the yeshua as a free gift based on His great compassion.
Repeat the visualization for your loved ones.
As you have prayed for another before yourself your prayers are more likely to be answered.
I Thank you with all of my heart for softly beseeching HKBH to change the current seemingly painful din to that of revealed, tangible sweetness in this life. Rak Hashem.
May the blesser be blessed,
Devorah Hadassah Liebermann
