Animal soul

In kabbalah, the animal soul (; ''nefesh habehamit'') is one of the two souls of a Jew. It is the soul that gives life to the physical body, as stated in Tanya, and is the source of animalistic desires as well as innate Jewish characteristics such as kindness and compassion. Although its initial desire is to seek out worldly, physical pleasures, it can be trained to desire spiritual pleasures instead through the guidance of the divine soul.
==Transforming the animal soul==
While the animal soul is still attached to worldly, physical pleasures, it is synonymous with the ''yetzer hara'', the evil inclination. However, the ''nefesh habehamit'' is not inherently evil; it merely seeks pleasure. Through persistent, joyous exposure to Torah study and observance of ''mitzvot'', the ''nefesh habehamit'' can be trained to desire spiritual and divine pleasures. In its refined state, it is often termed the ''nefesh hachiyunit'', the life-giving soul, because its primary function then is to give life and energy to the body in order to study Torah and perform the ''mitzvot''.
The ''nefesh habehamit'' is typically mentioned together with the ''nefesh ha'elokit'', the divine soul, because the ''nefesh habehamit'' and the ''nefesh ha'elokit'' are at first in opposition to each other. Chassidut teaches that every person must seek to dominate and conquer the ''nefesh habehamit'' to make it serve the ''nefesh ha'elokit''.〔Likkutei Amarim ch. 9, Tanya
