Merkaba is a Hebrew word meaning "chariot" or "vehicle" and is associated with early Jewish mysticism. It is also a sacred geometry symbol made of two intersecting tetrahedrons that spin in opposite directions, creating a 3-dimensional energy field. The word Merkaba is believed to be an Egyptian word broken down into the three parts of Mer, Ka, and Ba, which respectively mean light, spirit, and body. The Merkaba symbol has been used for thousands of years and through many ages of life, and every major spiritual system places ultimate power in it. The Merkaba has both religious and spiritual connotations attached to it, and it is said to provide protection and transport ones consciousness to higher dimensions. Merkaba meditation, first practiced in ancient Egypt, consists of 18 spherical breaths, which open the heart to a state of unconditional love that exists beyond the mind, in the realm of oneness.
