Creating a Golem with Permutation and combinations of the letters

One of the major meditative methods in Kabbalah, and the process used in the creation of a golem, is manipulating the letters of the Hebrew alphabet and reciting them. This section explores the various techniques used by the ancient Kabbalists to produce their magical effects.In combination

Using the Hebrew letters instead of English letters is more effective, since the Hebrew letters are closer to the source. The sounds, though, are very similar. An "A" in Hebrew is the same "ah" sound as the "A" in English.

Teruf: Letter Combination

Combining and permutating the letters of the Hebrew alphabet with specific breathing techniques and contemplation on specific body centers produces ecstacy almost immediately. The continuous, monotonous repetition of letters and sounds excites the mind, rather than dulls it. This is done in combination with various bodily and breathing techniques. This Hebrew letter combination technique is called Tzeruf.

Gematria

Gemaria is a technique where  each letter is given a numerical value and other words with same value are equivalent of the originals.
