Sha'ar ha-Kavanot (Gate of Intentions) is Chaim Vital's compilation of Isaac Luria's teachings on the proper mystical intentions to be held during prayer, ritual observances, and the performance of commandments. Unlike philosophical contemplation, kavanot are precise techniques for directing consciousness toward specific configurations of divine emanations, effecting cosmic repairs through focused intention. This text includes detailed instructions for daily prayers, Sabbath observances, and the annual cycle of festivals. The complete four-volume English edition is now available.
