faith in God.

owns.
3)Depression causes one to experience an emission.
4)A person who is careful not to eat food about which there was some
halakhic question is protected from being polluted by an emission.

before eating at the Tzaddik's table.

for wasting one's seed.

emission.

1)Drunkenness causes exile and leads to the wasteful emission of
seed.
2)A person is made to suffer embarrassment because he has spilled his
seed.
3)The inability to pronounce one's words properly - speaking only half
words - is the same aspect as the wasting of seed.
4)A man who experiences an emission [should be concerned that] his
children will die.
5)Reciting the following ten psalms on the day one experiences an
emission of seed provides great remedy and rectification: Psalms 16,
32, 41, 42, 59, 77, 90, 105, 137 and 150. You can be certain that
these ten psalms are very, very propitious for rectifying this sin.
The person who is careful in this matter, reciting the psalms as
prescribed, need no longer fear. He will definitely make the
necessary amends, for these [Ten Psalms] are a very great
rectification.
