# One should always be conscious of Hashem's presence by thinking of the Pasuk "Shiviti Hashem LeNegdi Tamid" שויתי ה' לנגדי תמיד (Tehilim 16:8) <ref> Rama 1:1 writes as the first comment in the book, that one should keep in mind the principle of "Shaviti". The Arizal's practice was to keep an inscription of Hashem's name before him always (Shaar Ruach HaKodesh 21). This is brought down by the Achronim including Bear Heteiv 1:3, Mishna Brurah 1:4, Kaf HaChaim 1:2, and Halacha Brurah 1:3. </ref> | # One should always be conscious of Hashem's presence by thinking of the Pasuk "Shiviti Hashem LeNegdi Tamid" שויתי ה' לנגדי תמיד (Tehilim 16:8) <ref> Rama 1:1 writes as the first comment in the book, that one should keep in mind the principle of "Shaviti".

# Some have the practice to hang up a poster in a glass case in Shul with an inscription of "Shiviti" (and sometimes the perek of Tehilim 67 "Lamnazeach Benginot" in the shape of a Menorah). However if it is not encased it is improper to keep it up. <ref> Shaarei | # Some have the practice to hang up a poster in a glass case in Shul with an inscription of "Shiviti" (and sometimes the perek of Tehilim 67 "Lamnazeach Benginot" in the shape of a Menorah). However if it is not encased it is improper to keep it up. <ref> Shaarei Teshuva 1:3 in the name of the Tevuot Shor argues that one should nullify the practice of hanging up Klaf with Shiviti inscribed on it because people tend not to be careful enough to make sure it does not lead to a desecration of a holy script and possibly an [[erasing]] of Hashem's name. Shaarei Teshuva says that if it is covered by glass then this worry the Tevuot Shor mentions is no longer of concern. This is brought as Halacha by the Mishna Brurah 1:4. </ref> | ||
