JUST 17 BREATHS


This technique, channeled by Drunvalo Melchizedek, is by far the most popular form of merkaba meditation

BREATH 1:
Inhale. Become aware of the male tetrahedron (the apex facing up to the sun, the point facing front for male and back for females) filled with white light surrounding your body. Touch your thumb to the index finger. Do not allow the rest of your fingers to touch each other or any other object. Keep palms facing up. Breathe rhythmically.

Exhale. Become aware of the female tetrahedron (apex pointing to the earth, point facing the back for males and the front for females), also filled with white light. Keep the same mudra. Exhale slowly. Relax chest and abdomen and hold your breath. When you feel the pressure to breathe again, be aware of the flat equilateral triangle plane at the top of the female tetrahedron. In a flash, send that plane down through the tetrahedron, pushing out all negative energy. While visualizing this, slightly cross your eyes but keep them closed. Roll your eyeballs to the top of their sockets. Look down at the same time that you send the triangular plane downward.

The next five breaths are a repeat of the first breath with the following mudra changes:

BREATH 2
: Thumb and second finger together

BREATH 3
: Thumb and third finger

BREATH 4
: Thumb and little finger

BREATH 5:
Thumb and first finger

BREATH 6
: Thumb and second finger

For the next seven breaths, touch thumb with first and second fingers, palms up. Visualize the pranic tube that runs from the apex of the male tetrahedron above your head to the apex of the female tetrahedron below your feet. The diameter of your tube will be the size of the hole formed by your thumb and forefinger.

BREATH 7
The instant you inhale, see the prana's brilliant light move down the tube from the top and up from the bottom at the same time. Direct the two beams to meet within your body at navel level, inside the tube. Here, they form a sphere of white light or prana. As you continue to inhale, this sphere begins to concentrate and grow. By the time you exhale, it will be eight or nine inches in diameter.

BREATH 8, 9, & 10
The prana sphere continues to concentrate energy and grow in size. It will reach the size of a basketball at the end of the eighth breath and will brighten further when you finish the ninth breath. On the tenth inhalation, the sphere ignites into a blinding ball of white light. When you now exhale through your lips and with pressure, the sphere bursts out and encloses your body.

BREATH 11, 12 & 13
Feel the prana flowing from the two poles, meeting at the navel, and expanding out to the large sphere. Breath 14 Move the prana sphere from the navel to the sternum, the fourth dimensional chakra. Simultaneously, the entire large sphere moves up to the new meeting point within the tube. Breathing from this new point within the tube will change your awareness to fourth dimensional consciousness. Place the left palm on top of the right palm (for males) or the right palm on top of the left (for females).

BREATH 15
Say to yourself: "Equal speed." Exhale in the manner of the tenth breath and visualize the two whole star tetrahedrons spin in opposite directions at equal speed. You have started the motor of the merkaba.

BREATH 16
While inhaling, say to yourself: "Thirty-four, twenty-one." The two sets of tetrahedrons will start spinning at a ratio of 34:21. As you feel the speed increasing, let out all your breath with force. The tetrahedrons are now spinning at two-third the speed of light. As they approach this speed, a disc, about 55 feet in diameter, forms around the body at the level of the base of the spine. The sphere of energy centered around the tetrahedrons forms, with the disc, a shape that looks like a flying saucer. This energy matrix is your merkaba.

BREATH 17
As you breathe in, say to yourself: "Nine-tenths the speed of light," increasing the speed of the merkaba accordingly. This will stabilize the rotating field of energy. As you feel the speed, exhale forcefully. You are now in your stable and third-dimensionally tuned merkaba.
