Question

It is written in the Shulchan Aruch that one should not throw a blessing from his mouth, but must have intention with the holy names. Does this refer only to blessings, or should one also have intention during prayer, Psalms, etc.?

Answer

Even though in the Shulchan Aruch this is written regarding blessings, there is no logic to differentiate between them, and nevertheless, in these cases, one can be more lenient [for those who find it difficult].
