In my recent article, Hashem's Special Kids, I mentioned a new tikkun (soul correction) that was revealed to one of today's hidden (lamed vav) tzadikkim by Eliyaho HaNavi. The hidden tzaddik then revealed the complete formula to my Rebbe - Rabbi Shalom Arush who has revealed it to us. Since my article was published there have been requests for the actual tikkun so here it is:
1. The Tikkun should only be done on Thursday evenings.
2. Starting at sunset on Thursday evening refrain from speaking; this should continue until after the morning prayers are completed. Only words of learning Torah may be spoke during this time.
3. Divide the night into three equal parts. Starting from shkia (sunset) until alos hashacher (dawn).
4. During the first part of the night learn Talmud.
5. During the second part of the night learn Mishna.
6. During the third part of the night say the entire Sefer Tehillim.
7. Following the Tehillim do an hour of hisbodidus (personal pray).
8. Immerse oneself in a mikvah before alos hashacher.
9. Recite the vidui hagadol (confession) of Reb Nissim Gaon which can be found in some nusach sefard siddorim or in pamplet form (usually distributed before Yom kippur).
10. Pray at a netz hachamer minyon (at sunrise).
There is someone in our Yeshiva, Yeshiva Chute Shel Chesed, who has been following this procedure dutifully for 4 months and has seen an approximate 40% improvement in his autistic child's condition. When Rav Arush told this to the hidden tzadik, the tzadik said that if this person will continue the tikkun his child will be completely healed.
The tikkun is an extremely demanding procedure. It requires physical, emotional and spiritual preparation. Particularly one should not undertake to perform the tikkun when under pressure or strain. It is very important to do the tikkun with joy. If one is not able to do the tikkun with joy, it is better not to do it at that time. Do not underestimate the power of your regular hisbodidus to also bring about miracles.
Wishing you Great Hatzlacha,

If they are hashems special kids why does one need to do a tikkun? Also, does this work for down syndrome?

CAN THIS TIKKUN HEAL A CHILD ALSO WITH TOURETTE OCD ?

That is an excellent question. I will I"H bring the question with me to the Yeshiva tomorrow and try to get an answer for you from my beloved Rebbe -- Rabbi Shalom Arush.

Actually the souls of the special kids don't need tikkunim; but they do suffer in this world from an inability to communicate their feelings and needs. They feel very misunderstood by us. They can also experience sensory overload and strange physical sensations. When the father makes a tikkun for his autistic child, it uplifts the father spiritually which also gives relief to the child.

Is this only for the extreames of Autisim or would it work for someone with Asbergers?
Also if yes, could it potentialy work for the person saying it?

This procedure is for any soul that is so Holy that it is having trouble fitting into a physical body. It very definately helps the one who is praying

Does this tikun help a child who is spiritually sick,meaning who is off the derech?

Is learning Talmud and Mishna (also saying Tehilim) in english also efective?
Posted by: Avraham | 02/01/2012 at 02:46 PM
Yes praying in any language is effective. The Torah was given in 70 different languages and Hashem certainly understands them all.

is there a tikkun also for tourette ocd?
Posted by: leah | 05/10/2012 at 04:21 AM
Although this tikkun has been found to be helpful for Autism, it is a general tikkun which can certainly be used for tourette syndrome or obessive compulsive disorder. Hisbodidus and learning about emuna are also a winning combination.

"Actually the souls of the special kids don't need tikkunim; but they do suffer in this world from an inability to communicate their feelings and needs. They feel very misunderstood by us."
Doesn't HaShem feel very misunderstood by us?
Since the autistic child feels very misunderstood, it's us who need the tikkun, not the autistic children. They're here to help correct us, our misplaces values, our closed hearts...our inability to communicate on the simplest, deepest, and most sincere, and well, real levels. Should these children suffer because of our inabilities to love, no....but why should the Shechinah?
* I'm not a parent of an autistic child, just a cousin of one. I cannot identify with the challenges of the autistic child or parent. And I don't know how to communicate to my cousin well enough, but he corrects me with many holy words that have proven to be 100% accurate in my mission in this world.
I think we all have trouble communicating our true feelings and need to be loved unconditionally at every moment by HaShem.
