The study of the mystical aspects of Torah inspires our proper intentions, while Jewish Law (Halachah) provides the appropriate earthly framework into which we infuse our holy mental approach. By doing this, we actually play an active part in uniting Heaven and Earth.
While mystical meditations abound, the main Kabbalistic guidelines for marital relations are channeled through the Jewish Laws for intimacy. From meditations on the woman's preparations and ensuing immersion in the Mikvah – to the requirements regarding the sacred conditions in which relations should take place – the couple is encouraged to infuse the physical act with holy intentions. In order to do this properly, we are encouraged to follow - and then explore the deep spiritual meanings behind - the details of Jewish Law.
To explore some of these meditations see articles on this topic from Inner.org, Mikvah.org, Kabalahonline.com, and Chabad.org.
For a more in depth perspective read "Doesn't Anyone Blush Anymore?" by Manis Friedman, and for even deeper mystical insight study Reishit Chachma vol. 2 chapter 16.
