What is Merkaba Meditation?

The Merkaba is reportedly activated by the use of certain meditative techniques that involve specific breathing patterns and a quieting of the mind, according to author Drunvalo Melchizedek. These techniques are said to allow you to communicate with your higher self and achieve a sense of enlightenment.

The Merkaba is commonly believed to be the vehicle of light referred to in Ancient Jewish texts and also in the Christian Bible in the story of Ezekiel. The Merkaba shape is represented by two rotating star tetrahedrons and is considered by some modern spiritualists and ancient followers of mysticism to be a representation of the invisible energy that surrounds the body.
