This body prayer has us intone Ya Mudhill so we remember and feel into the lowest and broken part of our personality body where we feel shame and worthless. It is sensing the worst of our personal shadow self. Yet if we can know with our heart, in some way, that God is present even here and we can face this darkest place of self then we can be humbled and bow down and be patient until the Beloved responds with Ya Mu'izz, lifting us up, honoring us, granting us self esteem that we remember our true dignity of being. Wali Ali Meyers writes, "By reciting these opposite emanations as a pair we recognize God's activity in both extremes. We come to understand that being perceived as high or low are, after all, just different ways of being in the hands of Allah. Ya 'Aziz reminds us of our intrinsic self-worth, because our real self if we only could remember, is an immortal soul that is perfect. It is an activity of God that has become individuated in each one's human heart. Ya 'Aziz is the marriage of self-worth and strength."
