רResh — the Head
Letter 20 of 22 · Numerical value 200 · Sound R (a)
Air — the sound
Resh is vibrated as R (a). The sound is sustained on the breath until the body carries the frequency by itself.
Fire — chakra & colour
Resh lights the root chakra in orange golden. The colour grows brighter the longer the letter is vibrated.
Water — the sensation
The felt quality of Resh is heavy — the temperature and weight the letter leaves in the body.
Earth — the consciousness
Resh carries the consciousness of The vision of splendour.
Resh on the Tree of Life
The path of R (a) runs between Understanding (3) and the Union with the Divine (1).
It walks the path between Binah (Understanding) and Kether (Union with the Divine). The chakra gives the letter its place in the body; the Tree gives it its place in the cosmos.
Study the Tree of LifeHow Resh is practised
In the Four Polar Magnet method the four poles are held together in a single sitting: you vibrate the sound out loud, see the colour glowing in its chakra, feel the quality the letter awakens, and finally receive the consciousness it carries. A microphone listens to your voice and the visuals brighten as you sustain the sound.
The guided Resh practice, with the four-pole timer, the lit chakra column, the Tree of Life path and your written insights, is part of the Healworld Mystery School membership. Aleph, the Ox, is free for everyone.
