mawk and pat,
drunvalo calls his spherical breathing exercise, "the remembrance of the
mer-ka-ba." i've only read through his directions and i have not tried them
(i'm not very good at meditation and i'm not sure i could master this
technique). here's his overview (followed by six pages of directions and
three pages of troubleshooting tips):
"there are seventeen breaths to reach completion. the first six are for the
balancing of the polarities within your eight electrical circuits and for
the cleansing of these circuits (he asks that you visualize star
tetrahedrons around your body --which are different for men and women),
palms are up and the thumb and first finger are touching. he gives detailed
instructions on how to breathe and gives mudra changes for the fingers on
each breath.
the next seven, which are quite different, are to reestablish the proper
pranic flow through your chakra system and to re-create what is called
spherical breathing within your body (you do not visualize the star
tetrahedron at this time -- but a breathing tube that extends from above
your head -- to the apex of the earth). a prana sphere centered at your
naval grows and grows with each breath. the fourteenth breath is unique.
drunvalo explains that is changes the balance of pranic energy in your body
from third-dimensional to fourth-dimensional awareness. his instructions for
a mudra are quite different. males place the left palm on top of the right
palm, both faced upward and females place the right palm on top of the left
palm (thumbs lightly touch each other). he has an update note that says,
'because there is a sexual change taking place on earth at this time
triggered by the new light from our sun, many people have found that their
sexual polarity has changed. since this mudra is not really important except
to relax the meditator, it is now suggested that you usewhichever seems
right for you. and if it seems to change sometimes, then change with it.'
the last three breaths re-create the counterrotating fields of the living
mer-ka-ba within and around your body. this section is entitled 'creating
the vehicle of ascension.' his update note says, 'it used to be taught that
you not attempt this fourth part until you had made contact with your higher
self and your higher self has given you permission to proceed. we are now
giving you permission to proceed, but continue to be open to communication
to your higher self. this part is to be taken seriously. the energies that
will come into and around your body and spirit have tremendous power.' he
instructs to be aware of the whole star tetrahedron in this section (three
separate star tetrahedrons superimposed on each other -- three complete
sets of star tetahedrons that are actually the same size and as appear as
one but are separate. the first star tetrahedron is neutral in nature. it is
literally the body itself. the second star tetrahedron is male in nature and
electrical. it is the human mind and it can rotate counterclockwise relative
to your body, looking outward (rotating toward your left). the third star
tetrahedron is female in nature and magnetic. it is the human emotional body
and can rotate clockwise relative to your body (rotates toward your right).
drunvalo gives detailed directions about controlling the speed and direction
of the tetrahedrons. he explains that thoughts and emotions are amplified in
the seventeenth breath and it is a good time for positive affirmations.
there is an eighteenth breath but says it will not be taught because it is
dangerous (it takes you out of this dimension). he feels it can be used when
the time is right.
drunvalo talks about using the mer-ka-ba for multiple purposes (giving it
commands, etc. -- he says it took him 15 years to understand that he could
program his mer-ka-ba). he says,
"it is generally believed that the mer-ka-ba is the vehicle for ascension,
and yes, this is true. but it is much more. it is everything more. the
mer-ka-ba can be anything whatsoever, depending on what the consiousness
within the mer-ka-ba decided. the only limitation is has depends on the
memory, imagination and limits (belief patterns) held in the consciousness.
in its purest form, this tetrahedral mer-ka-ba's only limitation is that is
cannot take the spirit through the great void or past the "great wall" into
the next octave of dimensions.
in volume 2, he has a section called "six hours before the shift." he says,
"you remember your mer-ka-ba and begin to breathe with awareness." he talks
about a red glowing fog that will be everywhere -- it will turn to orange
then yellow then green, then blue, then purple, then violet and then
ultraviolet. then a 'powerful flash of white light.' he says, "you are not
only surrounded by this light, but it seems you are this light." he then
describes how we'll experience three days in the void -- followed by an
explosion of a brilliant white light -- coinciding with experiences that are
brand new (where we become babies in a new reality).
in another book called "what is lightbody?" there's a "tool" called the
"unified chakra" that "creates a bubble of light that allows you to handle
vaster and vaster frequencies, and acts as a force field. it's described on
a companion web site called alchemicalmage.com under "tools." there are
tetrahedrons on the cover of this book and they're mentioned
inside --however, the word mer-ka-ba is not used.
