This 49 days is a Jewish practise that begins at the start of Passover. It’s connected with the Tree of Life, which is why I’m doing it, and for each of the 49 days one takes an aspect of the lower 7 sephiroth (the first being the Chesed of Chesed, then the Geveruh of Chesed and so on) and meditates on it, as a reflection on one’s own being.
David Cooper has something about it on his website, but Simon Jacobson has outlined the whole 49 days and their meditations: www.meaningfullife.com
The idea is to spend 10 or 15 minutes meditating/thinking on the aspect, then come back to it briefly (but many times) throughout the day and then write two to three lines about it in a Journal. One of the tricks is to remember that these days begin at sunset - so each day is counted from sunset through to sunset - not unlike the Celtic idea of a ‘day’ being born out of a ‘night’ (the Celts also began their festival days at what we might think of as sunset of the previous day).
My own relationship with Chesed is a little vexed - I’ve just spent 4 weeks in it, waiting for connection to happen - I have achieved some understanding, though possibly not the conventional one - but no real emotional alignment with it… I understand (more) its role in regards to the lower seven sephiroth on the Tree. So its interesting that on my last 24 hours in this position I get to meditate on the Chesed of Chesed - the intricacies of the complexities… (the 49 days is not actually meant to be so academic, I am supposed to be meditating on the generosity of my soul).
