Segulos for Parshas Vayishlach

Segulas Against Fear

And Yaakov was very afraid (32:8).

The Segulos Yisrael cites the Chida in Avodas HaKodesh: Kaf Achas Siman Yud, that whoever has fears should recite the pasuk Tehillim 20:10, Hashem Hoshiya HaMelech Ya’aneinu VeYom Koreinu, three times and then recite Tehillim Chapter 53 nine times. When he reaches the sixth pasuk where it says shom pochadu pachad he should strike the verse twice in the Tehillim, say Tehillim 41:4, read the entire Vi’hi Noam backward and forward and say Refo’einu Hashem venerofei, hoshi’einu venivoshei’a ki sehiloseinu Atah.

Yisrael LeSeguloso also has the following segulos against fear:

• Likkutei Moharan says that tzedoka helps against fear.
• One should also be meticulous regarding reciting berochos over food, drinks and fragrances and to study Torah during a meal at the table.
• He also writes that the attribute of humility is a segula against fear, as well as the memory of Avrohom Ovinu.
• Another segula is to depict and imagine the Divine Name Elokim as well as candlelight.
• The Zer Zohov on Eitz Chaim writes that a segula against fear is to carry bread and garlic in your left hand.
