What Does 'Merkaba' Mean?

[Guest guest]

What does " Merkaba " mean?

The word Mer-Ka-Ba is made up of three smaller words: Mer, Ka and

Ba. These

words, as we are using them, come from ancient Egyptian. There are

several

pronunciations of Merkaba such as Merkabah, Merkava, and Merkavah. We

generally pronounce the word with the emphasis on the second

syllable:

Mer-KA-ba. Others pronounce it with equal accent on each syllable

such as:

Mer-ka-ba.

Mer refers to a specific kind of light that was understood in Egypt

during

the 18th Dynasty following the reorientation of religions toward the

worship

of a one God of all creation. " Mer " was seen as two counter-rotating

fields

of light spinning in the same space. These fields are generated when

a

person performs specific breathing patterns.

Ka refers to the individual spirit of a person.

Ba refers to the spirit's interpretation of its particular reality.

In the

human reality, Ba is usually defined as the body or physical

reality. In

other realities where spirits don't have bodies, Ba refers to their

concepts

or interpretation of reality in the realm in which they exist.

What is the Merkaba?

The Merkaba is a counter-rotating field of light generated from the

spinning

of specific geometric forms that simultaneously affects one's spirit

and

body. It is a vehicle that can aid mind, body and spirit to access

and

experience other planes of reality or potentials of life. In fact,

the

Merkaba is even much more than this. Those who have taken the Flower

of Life

workshop and have learned the merkaba meditation have stated that

they have

learned more about themselves, connected with their higher selves,

and moved

to new levels of awareness. The Merkaba is a tool that helps humans

reach

their full potential.

The Merkaba is a crystalline energy field that is comprised of

specific

sacred geometries that align the mind, body, and heart together.

This energy

field created from sacred geometry extends around the body for a

distance of

55 feet. These geometric energy fields normally spin around our

bodies at

close to the speed of light, but for most of us they have slowed

down or

stopped spinning entirely due to a lack of attention and use. When

this

field is reactivated and spinning properly, it is called a Merkaba.

The Merkaba enables us to experience expanded awareness, connects us

with

elevated potentials of consciousness, and restores access and memory

of the

infinite possibilities of our being. When the Merkaba meditation is

performed correctly, the Merkaba fluidly integrates our feminine

(intuitive,

receptive) and masculine (active, dynamic) aspects of our mind and

spirit.

What will happen when I learn and practice this meditation?

When you learn about the Merkaba in a Flower of Life workshop, you

will not

only intellectually understand the geometric fields, but you will

personally

experience them and feel them tangibly around your body. These

geometric

energy fields around our bodies can be turned on in a particular

way, which

is also connected to our breath. The Merkaba meditation incorporates

a

17-breath process along with mudras (hand positions) that are a key

to the

correct use of the Merkaba.

Activating the Merkaba through the 17-breath meditation will result

in

deeper contact with your Higher Self and it will strengthen every

aspect of

your life. You will be better able to relieve your stress, balance

your mind

and emotions, and heal yourself if the Merkaba is used often and

consistently. Most importantly, you will experience and remember your

intimate connection with God in a safe and nurturing environment.

Learning the steps of the Merkaba meditation alone is not enough to

fully

experience the benefits of an activated Merkaba. Anyone can learn

technical

steps through a book or video. There is at least one other factor

that is

even more important than learning the Merkaba meditation itself --

the

opening of the heart and the experiencing of Divine Love. It is

Divine or

Unconditional Love that is the primary factor that allows the

Merkaba to

become a living field of light. Without Divine Love, the Merkaba

will only

be a series of steps and will have many limitations.

In the Flower of Life workshop we explore special ways of opening

the heart

to reawaken compassion, unconditional love, and inner harmony so

that you

can have direct experience with Divine Love while learning to

activate your

Merkaba. Direct experience of our greater potential gives us the

opportunity

to go far beyond what words and books can teach. Our workshops are

experiential, while still giving the necessary " left brain "

information

required for a full understanding of the course material. Most

participants

experience energy sensations and heart openings unlike anything they

have

ever experienced. Strong bonding between students often occurs and

the

feeling of family nurtures the group. Participants discover things

about

themselves that they hadn't remembered or didn't know before.

Why is it important to learn this meditation from a facilitator?

The Flower of Life Merkaba Meditation is taught during the Flower of

Life

Workshops by facilitators trained and certified by Flower of Life

Research.

Drunvalo Melchizedek, the founder of Flower of Life Research,

discovered

early on that students who tried to learn the meditation without

taking a

workshop often misunderstood the instructions and could not perform

the

meditation correctly. The Merkaba meditation, like the advanced

Tibetan

meditation for example, should be studied and practiced carefully and

completely with a certified facilitator as a guide. Our facilitators

are

trained to teach it so that it can be performed easily and

correctly.

Everyone can remember how to activate his or her Merkaba!
