(7) Whoever brings the tzitzit to his eyes when saying Parshat Tzitzit will never lose his sight. (Be'er Hetev)

(9) Before saying Kiddush on Shabbat night, look at the candles. While saying Kiddush, look into the wine cup. (Shulchan Aruch 271:10)

(10) Whenever leaving the house, look at the mezuzah and kiss it. (Ma'aseh Rav HaChadash)

(11) It is a mitzvah to watch other people who are per­forming a mitzvah, just as it was a mitzvah to watch the Kohen Gadol perform his Avodah on Yom Kippur. (Nefesh Kol Chai Phelagi)

(12) If you look at a synagogue or a Beit Midrash you will be spiritually elevated - how much more so if you enter the building. You will be even more elevated if you stand in front of the Ark and look at the holy To­rah. (Rosh HaGivah)

(13) Looking at the four-letter name of G-d - YHVH - and visualizing it is a great spiritual influence and enhances Yirat Shamayim.

(14) Study of the holy Torah imparts holiness, light, and joy to your soul.
