The sixth day of Omer focuses on the sefirah Yesod, Foundation, in Chesed. Yesod is centred in the loins and represents the ego identity in all its glory and all its limitations. This area of body and this aspect of self are today challenged to open to the energy of Love symbolized by Chesed. The right shoulder and the genitals are connected by a channel of radiant light.

We need the ego to support our survival as a separate entity in the world through which we can express the energies which are available to us. But that ego easily forgets that which gives its existence depth and meaning and imagines it is able to achieve that all by itself.^[1]

Chesed, the sefirah of Lovingkindness, needs Yesod to express its energies in the world, and Yesod needs Chesed to remember the true Nature of its being. All the sefirot are interdependent. The world needs all ten to exist. Each sefirah represents an essential aspect of the Creation process, just as each represents an essential aspect of the process of spiritual awakening.

Chesed, the centre of Lovingkindness, is exactly what your ego needs to remember. So this day is one of great significance. This is the place where we can find the balance that we need for the next stage of our journey.

Reflections

Could the idea of separateness affect the Infinite Oneness? Of course not. However, are we not essentially the expression of the One's "idea" of separateness, and thus we are born with this idea embedded in ourselves. Our sages say that that is our work in the healing of the World (and perhaps G-d Himself), to overcome this separateness, and return home to the place of Union with the Divine Itself.

Some vague thoughts on the matter:

Male lingam points up.
Thrusts upward -> toward higher conscionsness, the heavens.

Female “thrusts” downward, expression of the "negative" of the upward thrust, becoming in essence a thrust outward. Its expression as a receptacle for earth’s energies. For in order to receive, has to be a “negative/relatively empty” space.

In the Feminine expression, the energy is drawn inward (the process of reception) and, the female absorbs it and, in the positive female, it is then transformed to form – as in the birth of a child. Which is, in the balanced female, a masculine expression – a giving.

There is a similar process for the Male. In order to receive, in the Masculine expression, the energy is thrust outward (the process of giving), which then empties the vessel, and, in the positive male will be able to able to receive (feminine).

If this process of giving/receiving is blocked, the energy is transformed into waste energy, which generally generates heat and friction i.e., violence.

The female absorbs, receives, and in that way, blocks/holds the energy
She is earthbound – anchored to form, her nature to nourish the growing forms
Babies and children are a horizontal expansion
