Tiferet is directly above Yesod on the tree. Yesod is very much about sexual connection. Tiferet is very much about heart and soul connection. When the driving force, the generative energy of Yesod is harnessed to Tiferet the energy flows up and down the tree in a way that makes impossible for any physical connection to occur that isn't heart opening and soul enhancing. Similarly, Yesod brings a deep connecting energy, a bonding energy to Tiferet that gives it strength. Yesod that is informed by Tiferet cannot go down the path of addiction.
The prayer that comes to mind with TIferet in Yesod is the prayer on the binding of tefillin, which is almost a wedding ceremony — the sacred inner marriage:
"I betroth you to me everlastingly, and I betroth you to me with righteousness and justice, and I betroth you to me with loving and compassion, and you will know the One Source of All."
Which makes this a very good time to propose marriage to your inner wisdom.
