Tomer Devorah 2:3

Just a small thought about a great mitzva.

The first of the Arba Parshiyos is Parshas Shekalim which highlights the idea of tzedaka, whereby one can reveal the goodness of even those on the lowest of levels.

We must reflect the "Eyes" of Keter by seeing only goodness and assisting in every possible way.

R' Yose davened in a ruin and was taught otherwise by Eliyahu.

The birchos hashachar reflect the theme of thanking Hashem for allowing us to see the nekuda tova in ourselves that propels us from our "slumber" to "waking up" and to serve Hashem.

To reflect the "Ears" of Keter one must only allow himself to hear positive things.

Clarification of the position of R' Eliezer regarding number of mishmaros in the night and the way to distinguish them.

Dressing in the morning and the blessing of "malbish arumim" highlight the nekudos tovos that clothe the soul.

Reflecting the "Forehead", or the tolerance, of Keter allows us to placate people and assign them.

After finding and elevating the nekudos tovos through the initial three stages of tefilla, we approach shemona esreh and request the ability to speak in front of Him.
