What is Merkaba?

In order to explain what the Merkaba is, we must first generally explain the flow of energy and
energy fields that surround the human body. The first definition refers to the Prana or Chi which
is the Lifeforce - the unseen energy that exists everywhere in the universe in great quantities.
Prana enters the body through the top of our head (this is the reason there is a hole in the skull of
unborn embryos). The major Prana flow runs through the center of our body looking like a tube.
From there it flows into eight main centers known as Chakras. Chakras is an Indian Sanskrit
word meaning "turning wheel", due to the look of these complex energy flows. According to the
early Egyptians, there are thirteen chakras and not just eight.

From the "Chakras" we have branched energetic lines (meridians) that reach every cell in our
body. We have a Prana field that surrounds our body as a result of the meridians and the Prana
flow. Then there is the field of the aura. The auric field is an egg-shaped energy field that
surrounds our body and changes its color according to our thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
After the auric field, we have hundreds of electromagnetic fields. These fields have precise
geometrical shapes. Each one of them is made up of three identical fields with the same size and
shape.

The Prana fields are the star tetrahedron, a three dimensional Star of David. A person is able to
rotate two of the three-star tetrahedron fields in opposite directions by using the ancient Prana
breathing technique, thus creating a huge 17-meter energy field - our light body, the Merkaba.
The metaphysical Merkaba is said to be aligned with the main chakras along the spine,
terminating at a point above the crown chakra and below the feet chakras.

Merkaba for healing and balance

The varieties of benefits of using the Merkaba are greatly varied. It is a powerful healing and
protection tool. By utilizing the ancient Prana breathing technique, we are able to restore the
Prana flow through the pineal gland at the center of our brain. This revived use of our gland,
which has been virtually dormant for 13,000 years allows the heightened use of our telepathic
and extrasensory perception abilities.

The Merkaba balances and revives the activities between the two sides of our brain. Such
training strengthens our sensitivities and mental abilities, (at this time we use only 5-10% of our
brain). The Merkaba assists us in our spiritual growth. It connects us with our higher self (i.e.
ourselves on a higher level of consciousness).

The Merkaba enables us to feel unconditional love thus healing ourselves as well as others. It
gives us the possibility of creating any kind of harmonious reality we desire. The Merkaba can
be "programmed" to do anything (the only drawback being our own belief and imagination). The
Merkaba is also a tool that can be used to transcend into other dimensions. Revived studies and
practices of the Merkaba are emerging all over the world after so many years of being suppressed
from different sources, including the Old Testament, Kabala, and even the traditional Tarot
cards.

Merkabah Mysticism

The word originally referred to the moving throne of God in the Bible, like the vision of Ezekiel,
and spiritual practices based upon it historically. Merkaba Mysticism or Merkaba deed is a term
referring to the Jewish mystic books such as the secret Torah, Pardes and some also include in it
the book of creation (Yetzirah). The word Merkaba or Merkava means chariot and was based
upon Ezekiel vision from chapter 1. In the vision, he saw the four Cherubim riding a chariot of
fire.

Merkaba and its special healing and protective characteristics.
