5: Intention of Blessings.

1 When reciting blessings, one should intend the meaning of the words. When reciting the Name, concentrate on the vocal meaning of lordship, for He is the Lord of all. And one should also intend the meaning of its written form with Yud Hey, for He was, is, and will be. And when reciting "Elohim," intend that He is the all-powerful Master of all possibilities and forces.
