Merkaba meditation

[blis]

I've been doing the merkaba meditation every day for three weeks now and there has been a huge increase in my lucid activity for the past fortnight. I've been having loads of lucid dreams. Every night or two. I've been having more spontaneous projections than was normal as well. The other night I had four LD's in a row. When I'd wake up from one I would just go back to sleep and pop straight into another.

I tried the merkaba thing a while back and didnt get anywhere with it. I struggled to visualise it and figured that was the problem so just gave up. This time I'm not bothering to visualise it much. I'm just trying to feel it and know that its there.

What I think is the big difference though is that I wasnt paying any atttention to the first instruction, "Open your heart and feel love for all life."

I'm now starting with a good 15-20 minutes on the metta bhavana to build up as great a feeling of love as I can before I begin the merkaba meditation.

I cant reccomend it enough. If you do it make sure to feel as much love as you can - it makes all the difference.

I briefly tried this meditation some time ago, but it seemed quite complicated to learn and I gave up on it. May give it another go though.
Have you noticed any other effects apart from the increase in lucid dreams? When do you perform the meditation?...

There is quite a bit to remember. I kept a sheet of paper infront of me for the first few times.

The most exciting change isnt so much the change in frequency but the types of LD's I'm having. I still have the normal LD's like I used to but I'm having a different kind now as well.

I now have some where I'm aware that I'm in the non-physical and that I'll wake up at some point, but a certain part of my waking self is missing. It's like when I'm there I know a whole load of other stuff that I dont when awake but all my waking concerns and objectives arent there.

I know what I should be doing(which I dont from a wake induced projection). It's like I have a mission or an agenda or something. There are other people there who teach me stuff. I remember worrying at one point that I would forget when i woke up(which I did to large extent) but was told that it was alight, I would always remember when back there.

My normal dreams seem to have more meaning as well. I'm asking questions and getting answers. I feel like I'm becoming closer to my higher self.

Those are the only real differences that I've noticed. I feel "different" while performing the meditation after the bit when you raise the energy bubble to your chest. Sometimes I'll stay at that part for quite a while just enjoying it.

I do it at 7pm and go to bed at 9 btw.

Some books I've been reading have been talking a lot about "hyperdimensional" or "tetrahedral" physics.  By the name you can probably gather that this physics is partially based on Platonic solids (of which the merkaba is one).  The basic idea is that these geometric shapes exist is higher dimensions and their presence influences our 3-D reality.  Check it out if you have the time.  It actually lends a lot of support to things like astrology, platonic solid meditation and even crystal energies.

Sounds interesting. I'll look into it. Thanks.

So I haven't really posted much and haven't been here in awhile but I have been doing a lot of research on tetrahedral and hyper-dimensional physics myself for about a month or two and have noticed a lot of weird things that I can relate to from your post. Actually what is weird is my research has yet again led me here which I can only equal out to as being fate. I was wondering if you could possibly expand a little more on this...

I now have some where I'm aware that I'm in the non-physical and that I'll wake up at some point, but a certain part of my waking self is missing. It's like when I'm there I know a whole load of other stuff that I dont when awake but all my waking concerns and objectives arent there.

I have just very recently began merkaba mediation but with my research and by consuming myself with other tetrahedral / hyper-dimensional things I have had an increase in LD's of this nature as well. It's a little fuzzy to explain, I know there is someone there teaching things but I can never see them, and I don't talk back to the being myself because the knowledge that is coming in is intense; I really have nothing to say and no questions to ask because it makes all the sense in the world when it's happening. Honestly in the LD i'm not even in a new environment or any environment at all, it is more like a really dark room where the things being taught are the only things I can see and that usually is made up of numbers, patterns, shapes, and colors. The one thing about this is that it is hard to remember right when I wake up; I literally have had a pen and paper next to my bed to start writing when I wake but as soon as I pick the pen up it's all gone. When in the LD though it is not that way, numbers, signs, and shapes come to me very quickly and I pick it up very quickly. I can remember one where I was being taught about human DNA and it made perfect sense the way it was mapped out and put together, I remember thinking in the LD, "this is so obvious, I can't believe we don't know this yet."

I honestly have been waking up and just laying in bed feeling like I need to rest a bit from what just happened, some lessons are more intense then others, the lessons that are really intense make me wake up feeling like I didn't sleep at all; I have that feeling in my head like I just got out of a 2 1/2 hour lecture of trig in college. I can't put it together in my waking state because I can't remember most of it but I always have this feeling like it is there stored away until the time is right.

I really just wanted to throw this out there to see if my experiences or what I am describing can somewhat relate to what yours are?

I am someone that has never astral projected, or at least I have never astral projected into the state where I am able to see my body or anything else from the material world. I did have what I would consider a projection that somewhat ties into all this recently...

So I woke up after a lesson, or what I would describe was a lesson and needed to rest a bit and gather my thoughts. I decided I would close my eyes and  just clear my head. Next thing I know I am in space and there is what looks to be a galaxy in front of me. All the sudden the galaxy implods and then warped into a space ship. I thought to myself, "well that's interesting, I have to check that out." After saying that it's like I jumped from point A to B, I was in space and then when the thought came to my head I was right in front of the thing. I then thought, "I wonder whats inside" and again jumped from point A to B, except I wasn't inside I was like under the thing but there was a bunch of pods traveling in a row like fashion almost as if they were on a utility belt in a factory. One pod caught my eye and I moved toward it, except this time I didn't jump from point A to B I actually flew/floated over to the thing. The door to the pod opened and inside were three seats (two toward the front of the pod and one in the back; the one in the back seemed to be like the captains chair) I can also remember the pod was equip with a ton of electrical equipment. One seat in the pod was empty, while the other two had ETs sitting in them (although the ETs were somewhat like they are depicted in our world they had def. differences; they were smaller, with big eyes). The funny thing was at first I looked over the ETs and focused primarily on the chair like it was open for me and I was supposed to be there, so I did exactly what I thought I should do and sat down in the chair. I then looked around and noticed that both the Ets were looking at me, but I wasn't scared and I just new that they were not there to harm me what so ever. The one in the back (sitting in the captains chair) got up out of his seat and walked over to the side of my chair, he knelt down and looked directly at me, I can remember looking into his eyes, they were amazing, like a dark green/yellowish color but the moment I stared deeply into them they flashed and turned to a bright blue and all the sudden I was overwhelmed with a buzzing in my head (the kind of noise you get when you have headphone in and your listening to binural beats). That made me become very frightened and the thought came into my head that he was trying to take over my mind and then all the sudden I opened my eyes and I was laying in my bed. The funny thing about this is when I woke I could still hear the buzzing in my head (after a couple seconds it drifted away). I tried to get back there but obviously I couldn't, I was ashamed with myself for becoming frightened I knew in my head they weren't there to hurt me but the fear just took me over and there was nothing I could do to stop it.

Since that experience my normal dreams and LDs have been all fear based, almost as if I am being trained to let the fear go and not allow it to take over.

Anyways thought I would share I don't normally post and mainly like to read but this post caught my eye and I felt I could definitely relate to the experience and hoped you would share more.

Thanks

This meditation sounds very intriguing. I love learning new things on here. This is great thanks for sharing!

Hi don, sorry for not replying sooner. I'm only online one week a month.

I stopped doing the merkaba meditation around eight weeks ago. I decided to get into channeling and the guide I contacted told me to refrain from anything but basic meditation for four weeks while he aligned us or healed me or something.

I've stopped having those sort of dreams since then.

Anyway, I still remember what they were like. Basically I was me but without the ego. I had a whole lot of memories that I dont when awake but I was still me(unlike the past life dreams where I'm someone else).

There was a lot of training and at least one teacher that I can recall. There were a fair number of people involved in the training. Sometimes we would be sat round a white board taking lessons. Sometimes we would be out on practice missions. It all seemed to be training for a specific task or mission that we would have to perform one day.

I remember us all leaving for different places for our individual tasks. I was paired with a female for some of them. I dont know if the others were in teams or by themselves.

I dont remember much of the specific details. I remember being reminded how to teleport and being told about how to "go through one door and out another".

I've been meaning to get back into the merkaba meditation properly.

What's the best book you've read on hyperdimensional physics?

[Under_the_Midnight_Sun]

Robert Bruce developed an easier form of Merkaba meditation, where instead of the revolving pyramids, one revolves two body length tubes around the body. One tube is rotating clockwise, while the tube around it is rotating counter-clockwise. He speaks of entering a "merkaba lightship" once both tubes are successfully spinning at the speed of light, where one may travel to any time, dimension, or any portion of our universe.

I've never tried it, but it sounds very interesting, and easier than the traditional method.

I started doing this meditation a couple of days ago. I just have to say it's an amazing meditation. Best i've done so far. Had contact with my higher self and when i would finished im fully relaxed, filled with love etc

Probably the most interesting thread I have read in a while...must try it some time:)

[Firmitas]

Awesome thread guys!
Does anyone have any direction that they can point me to learn how to do Merkaba meditation?

also, I saw in a couple of posts people talking about 'lessons' or 'schools' in your dreams. Me and a close friend of mine, who has been getting his metaphysical feet wet for some time now, have both had very similar dreams of a type of "metaphysical school". I usually remember some type of class or just one individual person trying to teach me something. The most recent was: A man standing in front of me is trying to teach me to harness some type of energy I believe. I see a small golden ball of light above his head and then he says to me, "box it up and let it grow". I still have trouble understanding what exactly he was talking about, but it was interesting nonetheless.

I really want to give this meditation a shot so if anyone knows of a cite or wants to give some direction, It would be greatly appreciated!

I'll look into Merkaba meditation because a few weeks ago I had an OOBE where I saw a huge merkaba/mandala that was rotating and it could be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. It looked something like this but was animated:
