What is a Merkaba?

What does Merkaba mean anyway?

Some say Merkaba, others say Mer-kah-bah  BUT WHAT IS IT?

Merkaba translates to “mer” which means light, “ka” meaning spirit, and “ba” meaning body. This essentially means it is a vehicle for the light spirit body, which can transport ones spiritual body from one dimension to another for study or growth.

I’m sure many of you have heard this term used in the growing spiritual and enlightened communities. How many of us really know what it is? I’ve been doing some research so that I could share a bit more information on what this divine symbol really means.

In history it is said that the Merkaba is the divine vehicle allegedly used by the ascended masters. Allowing a person to ascend or descend into a higher or lower world.  Though the merkaba is much more than just a vehicle of ascension. It seems it can be a vehicle used in meditation to transport us anywhere we wish to go since this is a primal pattern created by all things in the universe both visible and invisible.

The merkaba consists of two equally sized, interlocked tetrahedrons of light with a common center. Where one tetrahedron points up and the other down. This point, symmetric in form, is then called a “stella octangula” or stellated octahedron which can also be obtained by extending the faces of a regular octahedron until they intersect again.

Drunvalo Melchizedek describes this figure as a “star tetrahedron” since it can be viewed as a three dimensional version of the Star of David. While imagining the two superimposed star tetrahedrons counter rotating in movement with each other along with some specific “prana” breathing technique, it is taught that a person can activate a non-visible “flying saucer” like energy field around the human body so that it is anchored near the base of the spine. 

Once activated this field is said to be capable of carrying ones consciousness directly to higher or even lower dimensions.

The term merkaba is also a Hebrew word for “chariot” and has been used in the bible in Ezekiel 1:4-26 and refers to the throne or chariot of God, and the vehicle used by the four Cherubim to reach our dimension. Some of the earliest mentions of the merkaba were through prophetic visions of God in the heavens and used by the heavenly creatures surrounding God. 

In more modern times there are classes and workshops given for Merkaba Light Body Activations. In which the learner will have a chance to be walked through activating their own personal merkaba with proper breathing techniques and meditation.
