Mer-Ka-Ba literally means light (Mer) spirit (Ka) body (Ba) in Hebrew, denoting the harmonious activation of all. In shape it appears as a star tetrahedron; a three-dimensional 8-pointed star made from two triangular pyramids, one points up, the other down.
The Merkaba represents pure divine energy, constantly spinning, harmonizing, balancing, flowing, moving and expanding in all four directions at all times supporting you where you want to go. It is said we can travel via a Merkaba into any spiritual dimension as it is infinitely circulating the flow of energy from the divine trinity with all elements, in all directions and all at the same time. It harmonizes male and female energy, so understanding how to work with it can literally allow you to manifest all desires. The greater energy field that surrounds our body beyond our auric field is our own Merkaba.
