When this gland is activated it can help us to reach our full potential, encouraging us to access higher realms, tap into the powers of visualization, and heighten our spiritual awareness. This gland sits at the center of our forehead and is also known as the third eye chakra.
When the Merkaba is used in symmetry with ancient prana breathing techniques, it can help restore prana flow into the pineal gland. Here are a few ways in which Merkaba can bring balance, spirit, and the flow of prana into your presence. From helping with the activation of your third eye chakra to encouraging you to access higher dimensions and embrace unconditional love, there’s a lot in store for those who welcome the Merkaba star into their life. HealingĪs a powerful protection tool, the Merkaba can be used in light-seeking and deep healing. The upward point takes us higher while the lower point keeps us connected to the earth and grounded on our astral journeys. These tetrahedrons are associated with the divine and can take us closer to ‘god’ or higher consciousness. Its origins also relate to the flower of life, the mandala, and the tree of life. It is in our water, our cells, our plants, our animals, and is designed by the universe itself.
The Merkaba shape can be found in everything. This balance creates the chariot or vehicle of light that can carry your body and your spirit into higher consciousness. The idea that these energies are always spinning in opposite directions but that this energy creates balance is a beautiful idea to hold on to. It is opposing forces coming together to create harmony. It can be applied to the physical realm and the spiritual realm, or the existence of dark and light. This can also be applied to the earth and the cosmos, with the top shape being the cosmos and the bottom shape being the earth. The top tetrahedron is said to represent the masculine force, whereas the lower one represents the feminine.
The tetrahedron is also linked to the energy of the solar plexus - grounded, glorious, and ready to rise - this shape knows how to hold its personal power. These are the first of the platonic solids and with four triangular sides, the sides sit flat no matter what meaning that structure and stability become unshakable forces. Made up of tetrahedrons, we see straight away that the Merkaba star pulls together themes of balance and stability. It is a star tetrahedron and with its geometric shapes spinning in opposite directions, it has the power to create a perfectly unionized and balanced energy field. It looks like a three-dimensional version of the Star of David. The history of the Merkaba is a strong symbol in Judaism and has roots in the Torah, but it’s also connected to sacred geometry. But as the Chaddissic Jewish people believe that the Merkaba is a symbol of contemplating how to be a better person, this is something that flows into the beauty of spirituality and shares weight with the ideas behind sacred geometry too. As you can see, the Merkaba has both religious and spiritual connotations attached to it. The word Merkaba is actually believed to be an Egyptian word (broken down into the three parts of Mer, Ka, and Ba). Scholars say that the throne or chariot isn’t to be taken literally but more refers to how god and his archangels are revealed in this world. The term Merkabah (also known as Merkavah) actually relates to the chariot of the throne of God in Ezekiel's vision. While the word itself may not appear explicitly, the word chariot appears numerous times and Merkaba means chariot. The word Merkaba is a Hebrew word and is associated with the Hebrew Bible text from Ezekiel 1.4-26. The Merkaba has a long and complex history. It’s impossible to capture all of this depth and scope in a fleeting paragraph, but we will do our best to offer a brief insight into the spiritual healing of this star of sacred geometry. Since ancient times, people have been unraveling the mysteries and meaning of the Merkaba. The Merkaba is believed to be a divine vehicle for keeping you balanced. This three-dimensional star has eight points and it takes its name from Mer for light, Ka for spirit, and Ba for the body. So much more than the simple shape of a star, the Merkaba holds deep spiritual meaning.
