Zemzem
positions -
After reciting the opening prayer, you are ready to start the
zemzem positions. There are 7 zemzem positions in a cycle and there are 7 cycles
defined by the chant which is done at each position. The chants are done for
the second trinity and then the four elements. (Listen here for pronunciation)
These are done one at a time,
seven times each. You will continue to sit in the first position, but change
the position of your hands with each time you chant (seven times). The positions are as follows. The
positions are done at significant energy points of the body:
With your hands make a pyramid on the floor using your index
fingers and thumbs. - Chant the Em ren (Divinity's name)
With you
hands in prayer position at your sternum. - Chant Em ren
With your hands together in prayer but on the top of your head. -
Chant Em Ren
Opening your hands into a pyramid/triangle on the top of your
head. - Chant Em Ren
With your hands in prayer position in front of your face ( thumbs touching your forehead) - Chant Em Ren
With your hands in prayer position at your sternum. - Chant Em Ren
With both hands on each knee. - Chant Em Ren
You will chant...
1.)
Em ren Wsr (7x ;once in each position)
2.) Em ren Heru
3.) Em ren Aishat
4.) Em ren Nu
5.) Em ren Shu
6.) Em ren Tefnoot
7.) Em ren Geb
Lamentations - After finishing, the chanting it is time for you to begin your
lamentations. This portion
of you Zem zem is for communicating with your ancestors. To let them know what
is going on in your life, any concerns that you may have, or wishes that you
may want to make.
A.) To begin
you first slowly turn your head to the left while breathing in. Then back to
the center as you breathe out. Then to the right as you breathe in, and back to
the center as you breathe out. This signifies that you recognize your ancestors
are behind you and is a signal to your ancestors that you are ready to begin
your lamentations. You then place your hands together in prayer position on the
floor, then placing your head on top of your hands beginning your communication
with your ancestors.
B.) When you
have finished your lamentations you close it off by placing your finger tips to
the floor then to your forehead three times (touching once to the floor then
once to your head counting as one time). Coming up you then say " Em ren
(the diety of your choice)".
Chanting - Next you will begin chants. First beginning with the First trinity of
Uast, The First trinity of Hetptahka, and then the Second trinity of Ancestral
Neteru. With these chants they need
to be in sets of nine and each one will be done at least 27 times but any amount
higher than that if you wish as long as you make sure it is a multiple of nine.
The rhythm and speed of the chant that suits the connection to the Divinity is an individual thing. Here are two samples, Chant Sample 1 ; Chant Sample 2
Neter Hent Uast - First Trinity of Thebes
Ib Ra Hema (27x)
Ib Imen Hema (27x)
Ib Ptah Hema (27x)
Neter Hent Hetptahka - First Trinity of Memphis
Ib Emsu Hema (27x)
Ib Tem Hema (27x)
Neter Werr - The Ancestral Neteru
Kheper Hekau Wsr Hema (27x)
Kheper Hekau Heru Hema (27x)
Kheper Hekau Aishat Hema (27x)
(Chant Pronunciations)
This concludes the chanting of the regular ZemZem. After you finish the chanting, you can take this time in your ZemZem to either meditate or practice any Ka'at Ibi that you have learned.
