First steps into Merkaba meditation
Merkaba meditation is one of the most powerful forms of meditation. It is not limited to the human mind but encompasses all life, from the smallest atom to the vast galaxy. Beyond the breathing technique, Merkaba meditation requires sufficient understanding and unconditional love to become a living field of light according to the principles of the Merkaba itself.
In Merkaba meditation, each breath is connected to the energy field, which is why breathing is an important aspect of this meditation. The Merkaba is divided into 18 breaths and takes approximately 45 minutes.
Preparation & Tips
Merkaba meditation requires some practice. You should meditate daily until you can properly perform conscious breathing. You can try your first breaths while standing, on a chair, or on a cushion. However, you must ensure that you keep your spine straight and that the prana tube is centered. The prana tube is the tube that runs through your body's center, into all the chakras, and ends at the apexes of the tetrahedrons. Everyone possesses both the tetrahedrons and the prana tube—whether consciously or not.
During meditative exercises, you should not wear jewelry or carry any metal objects with you so that the mudra circuits are not interrupted.
Pranayama breathing
Before and during Merkaba meditation, you adopt a calm breathing rhythm. You use the Pranayama breathing technique , in which you first inhale into your belly and then into your chest. When exhaling, you also release the breath first from your belly and then from your chest. Through this breathing technique, you develop prana and become a conscious breather.
The individual breathing steps briefly explained
With the first six breaths during Merkaba meditation, you cleanse the circuits in your body and release your energy blockages. During breaths seven through nine, you form a sphere from the prana you have inhaled through the prana tube. At this point, the prana sphere should have a diameter of two hand lengths.
Only with the tenth breath do you allow your small prana sphere to form an additional large one, occupying your entire body. The small sphere remains. During breaths eleven through thirteen, you stabilize the large sphere by continuing to allow prana to flow.
On breath fourteen, use your full love for all being to bring your small sphere to your heart. This also lifts the large sphere, reducing its diameter. After this step, pause to enjoy the vibrations of love and consciousness.
In the subsequent breaths up to breath eighteen, you set the tetrahedrons into counter-rotating rotations. Rotating tetrahedrons create the Mer-Ka-Ba through a rotating field of light. The speed of the rotations in Merkaba meditation corresponds to the third dimension. This connects you more closely to the Earth and allows you to step off the wheel of fate.
What else belongs to Merkaba meditation
The Merkaba tradition also includes certain visualizations, eye movements, and hand positions (mudras) . However, the above outline gives you an initial idea of how this meditation technique is performed.
Merkaba meditation is used as an energy therapy that allows you to sustainably improve your energy system. By working with your chakras, you will experience and recognize your problems and difficulties. You will learn to diagnose energetic blockages as illnesses and gently resolve them. You will notice that your metabolism is stimulated and detoxification processes are activated. Your cells and organs benefit from energy, while your circulation is brought into balance. This improves your blood circulation and the blood's ability to absorb oxygen. Your organ function is optimized, and even depressive moods, anxieties, and distress can be resolved through Merkaba meditation.
Meditation makes you a calm and cheerful person who can easily manage your everyday life thanks to inner peace.
Ultimately, Merkaba meditation contributes to a conscious life and your health, so learning this meditation technique can be worthwhile in several areas.
