Spherical Breathing

The Merkaba (the 3-dimensional image above) is made up of two interlocking tetrahedrons in a manner that resembles the Star of David, but 3-dimensionally.  The star tetrahedron represents male and female energy in perfect balance.  There is a star tetrahedron around everything, not just humans.  The merkaba is created by counter-rotating fields of energy.  The mental star tetrahedron, electrical and male, rotates to the left.  The emotional star tetrahedron, magnetic and female, rotates to the right.   

This meditation is done in a series of 14 breaths.  The first 6 are for balancing the polarities within the chakras and also for cleansing these electrical  circuits.  The next 7 reestablish the proper pranic flow through the body and recreate  spherical breathing within the body.  The 14th breath changes the balance of pranic energy within the body from 3rd dimensional to 4th dimensional awareness. 

These breaths are the first 14 in a series of 17 used to create the counter-rotating fields of the merkaba around the body.  Because the internal merkaba can only be created with the emotional body intact, it is absolutely necessary to open your heart and feel love and unity for all life while doing this meditation.  You do this to the best of your ability, of course.   

Begin by sitting in a comfortable, relaxed position.  Close your eyes.  When you feel calm and relaxed, expand your feelings to a state of love and unity for all life everywhere, and also visualize the star tetrahedron around your body.   

On the inhale of the first breath, visualize the male tetrahedron.  This is the one with the apex facing up.  The base of the tetrahedron, which is just above the knees when you are standing, is facing toward the front for males and toward the back for females.  Visualize to the best of your ability this male tetrahedron filled with brilliant white light.  Your body is surrounded by this light. 

Also on this first breath arrange your hands, palms up, with the thumb and index finger lightly touching.  This is a mudra.  Do not allow any of your other fingers to touch one another.

        Inhale through your nose in a deep, relaxed, rhythmic manner for 7 seconds, bringing the breath up from the stomach, then to the diaphragm, and  finally to the chest.  Do this all in one movement.

      Then without pausing at the top of the inhale, begin your exhale.  Exhale slowly through your nose for 7 seconds.  As you exhale, visualize the female tetrahedron.  This is the one with the apex facing down, the point at the level of the solar plexus facing the back for males, and the front for females.  Again visualize this tetrahedron filled with brilliant white light. 

After you have completed the exhale in 7 seconds, relax and hold your breath for 5 seconds.  Move your eyes toward each other (look slightly cross-eyed), then look up and immediately look down to the ground as fast as you can.  At the same time visualize the white light in the female tetrahedron shooting out through the apex of the tetrahedron and into the Earth.   

As you do this you should feel an electrical sensation moving down your spine.  This is pulsing.  You are clearing out the negativity in the part of your electrical system that is associated with the mudra you used. 

Immediately after pulsing the energy down your spine, begin the second breath.  This breath is exactly the same as the first except for one thing:  a different mudra is used.  Hold the thumbs and second fingers together 

For the third-breath mudra, hold the thumb and third finger (ring finger) together.  For the fourth-breath mudra, hold the thumb and little finger together.  For the fifth-breath mudra, hold the thumb and index finger together just as in the first breath.  For the sixth-breath mudra, hold the thumb and second finger together, as in the second breath.

The next 7 breaths begin in a different breathing pattern.  It is no longer necessary to visualize the male tetrahedron on the inhale and the female tetrahedron on the exhale.  Instead you visualize the tube that runs through the body.  This tube extends one hand length above the head and one hand length below the feet.  In other words, the tube runs through the apex of the male tetrahedron, which extends one hand length above your head.  It also runs through the apex of the female tetrahedron, extending one hand length below your feet.  The diameter of your tube is exactly the same as the diameter of the hole formed when your thumb and middle finger are touching. 

Begin the 7th inhale immediately after the pulse, following the 6th exhale.  Inhale rhythmically, taking about 7 seconds.  As you begin the 7th inhale, visualize the tube running through your body as well as brilliant white light running up and down the tube at the same time.  In other words, visualize prana running down the tube from over your head and simultaneously running up the tube from beneath your feet. 

At some point you instantly do have brilliant white light running up and down your tube.  Now visualize the light meeting inside the tube at the level of the navel.  As the two beams of light meet, a sphere of light about the size of a grapefruit forms and slowly begins to grow. 

This all happens in the instant you begin the 7th inhale.  As you continue to inhale for 7 seconds, the sphere of prana slowly grows.  At the end of the 7th inhale, immediately begin your exhale.  There is no more holding of the breath and no more pulsing. 

For the next 7 breaths use the same mudra (index and 2nd fingers touching the thumb, palms up).  As you begin to exhale the prana continues flowing from each end of the tube and expanding the sphere centered at the navel.  By the time of the full exhale (7 seconds), the sphere of prana will be about 8-9” in diameter. 

Begin on the 8th breath immediately after the 7th exhale.  On the 8th breath the prana sphere continues to grow until it reaches its max. Size at the end of the exhale (roughly the size of a volleyball). 

On the 9th breath, the sphere cannot grow bigger, so it grows brighter.  Visualize the sphere growing brighter and brighter on both inhale and exhale. 

On the 10 the breath, continue to visualize the sphere growing brighter.  About halfway through the inhale, the sphere will reach critical mass and ignite into a sun.  As you begin to exhale, make a small hole with your lips and blow the air out your mouth like you are forcing it out.  Then let it all go with a final whoosh.  As you do, the ignited sun expands outward to form a sphere around your body.  Your whole body is now inside a sphere of charged white light.   

The sphere is not yet stable at this point, however.  It took all your energy just to get it out there.  It will take 3 more breaths to stabilize it. 

The 11th, 12th, and 13th breaths are needed to stabilize the sphere.  Inhale and exhale just as for the 7th through 9th breaths, all the while feeling the flow of prana through the tube, meeting at the navel, and expanding into the sphere around your body.
