Assiya: Body, making, settling the candles in the Hanukiah

חֲנֻכָּה  dedication, consecration
Yetzira: Heart, forming.  Recite the blessings, light the candles.

חנך   to learn, to make experienced
Briyah: Mind, knowing.  What do you see, recall, know, experience in the flickering of the flames?

חֵן   grace
Atzilut: Emanation, being.  What is the revelation from your consecration of light and love?

Hag sameach!
