A Prayer to Merit by the Power of the Pidyon Not to Shame Any Person, to Be Blessed, to Be Included Among the Righteous, and to Merit

PIDYON
He should place his hand on the money and say:
Money (Ma'ot) - "and the living substance that is at their feet."
"Righteousness calls him to its foot."
Righteousness is the Holy Kingship (Malchus). The law of the kingdom is law. The root of judgments is Understanding (Binah). "I am Understanding, might (Gevurah) is mine." Judgment is only sweetened (mitigated) at its root.
There are three "hands" in Understanding (Binah): the Great Hand, the Strong Hand, and the Exalted Hand.
Three times "hand" (Yad, numerical value 14) equals the gematria of the Name of 42. The 42 of the World of Formation (Yetzirah). The Name of "Ana B'Koach" is the 42 of the World of Creation (Beriah), which is two times the Name Ekye"k (Aleph-Heh-Yod-Heh). The 42 of the World of Emanation (Atzilut) is the simple Name Havaya"h (Y-H-V-H), with its expansion (milui), and the expansion of its expansion.
A Pidyon is the sweetening of judgments, and it saves a person from all troubles, because the essence of healing comes specifically through a Pidyon. For "V'Rapo Yerape" (and he shall surely heal) (together with the two words = 580) is the numerical value of "Pidyon Nefesh" (Redemption of the Soul) = 580. (Likutey Moharan, Part II, Torah 3)
May it be Your will, that the judgments and harsh severities be sweetened and removed from (insert name, son of mother's name) through the Supernal Wonder, which is great loving-kindness and complete, simple compassion, in which there is no mixture of judgment at all. Amen.
Prayer Before Giving the Pidyon
Master of the Universe, the Omnipotent One, from whom no purpose can be withheld. Grant me the merit, through the giving of this money for a Pidyon, that You will redeem me from all distress and hardship, and from all kinds of pain and illness. May I merit, in the merit of the money for the Pidyon, to dance on both feet. May my feet always be healthy for Your service and for the study of the Torah of Hashem, and may I always run to every matter of a mitzvah. In the merit of the blessed money for the Pidyon, may I merit the fulfillment of the verse: "And the spirit of Hashem shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Hashem" (which equals 1650). And through this, may the verse be fulfilled in me: "And Esther (421) obtained (757) favor (58) in the sight (142) of all (50) who looked upon her (222)" = 1650. May I find grace, loving-kindness, and compassion in the eyes of everyone. Through this, may I not shame any person in the world, as it is said: "Do not (31) be (415) scornful (9) of any (80) man (45)" = 580. May I merit to be, in the merit of the Pidyon, among the "men of (361) spirit (219)" = 580. In the merit of the Pidyon, may I have no "choice (225) between (62) good (17) and evil (276)" = 580. May I be included, in the merit of the Pidyon, in the "nation of (112) understanding (468)" = 580. May I be included solely among the righteous people, and may I merit, in the merit of the Pidyon, the "trait of (474) humility (136)" = 580. May we always praise and glorify You, as it is said: "From generation (240) to generation (216) we will declare (67) Your greatness (57)" = 580. And through the Pidyon, "his candle (256) shall not (31) be extinguished (37) forever (176) and ever (80)" = 580.
