MERKABA
The tetrahedral star, or Merkaba, is a sacred geometric shape made up of two interlocking tetrahedrons, symbolizing the masculine and feminine polarities, water and fire. This fusion represents the union of complementary forces that create life and harmonize energies. The central idea of the Merkaba is impeccability: acting with rightness and love, far from fear, allowing discernment aligned with a higher consciousness.
The wave form emitted by the Merkaba balances the hemispheres of the brain, energizes the sixth chakra (seat of intuition and creativity) and strengthens self-belief. It helps us to fully use our free will, restoring the mind to its role in the service of being. It is also associated with perceptions related to power, control, and the freedom to be oneself, offering a direct connection with physical energy and light.
The Merkaba, described as a vehicle of light, consists of three tetrahedral fields rotating in opposite directions around a central axis, allowing the body, soul and spirit to experience new levels of consciousness. By activating this vehicle, one accesses interdimensional realities and the potential for profound transformation, where unconditional love and compassion are activated.
Its name comes from ancient roots, passing through Egyptian and Hebrew, and evokes both a chariot and a divine throne, leading to the throne of God or the “house of the Father”. Used as a tool for healing and spiritual development, the Merkaba helps to create a harmonious reality, to feel universal love and to progress towards a higher consciousness. Today, the study and practice of the Merkaba is re-emerging around the world, nourished by ancient traditions such as Kabbalah and Tarot, to explore dimensions beyond the known and awaken our spiritual potential.
In crystal usage, the Merkaba is sometimes carved from different gemstones, each material bringing its own unique energy. For example, a quartz Merkaba amplifies healing energy and spiritual clarity, while an amethyst Merkaba enhances intuition and connection with the spiritual realms.
