Mer Ka Ba Meditation

by: Apollo and Thoth

This meditation is performed in 18 breaths and activates the geometric energy fields of the soul using the eight-pointed Star of Astarte. For background on the sacred geometry and why this differs from the common New Age hexagram version, see the companion article.

Before beginning, clean your aura. Sit comfortably with your spine straight, preferably cross-legged, though sitting in a chair is fine. Enter a trance state.

Preparation

Figure seated inside two interlocking pyramids

Visualize yourself sitting inside of two interlocking pyramids (an octahedron). The standard meditation is performed with white-gold energy inside the pyramids. White-gold energy is the most powerful. With experience, you can change colors as you learn to handle color energy.

The Breathing Tube

Beginning at breath 7, you will draw energy through a breathing tube. The tube extends one hand length beyond the top of your head, passes down through all seven chakras, and ends one hand length past your base chakra at the tailbone. When standing, it extends one hand length beyond your feet.

The tube is as wide as the circle formed when you touch your thumb to your middle finger, tapering to a small opening at each end. It is transparent, like glass.

Phase I: Filling the Pyramids (Breaths 1–6)

Breath 1

Thumbs touching index fingers.

Inhale for a count of 6. Hold for 6.

Exhale for 6 while chanting: SSSS-AAA-HHH in one long exhale. Visualize both pyramids filling with brilliant white-gold light.

Breath 2

Thumbs touching middle fingers.

Inhale for 6. Hold for 6.

Exhale for 6 while chanting: TTTT-AAA-HHH. Continue filling the pyramids with bright, intense, powerful energy.

Breath 3

Thumbs touching ring fingers.

Inhale for 6. Hold for 6.

Exhale for 6 while chanting: NNNN-AAA-HHH. Continue filling the pyramids with energy.

Breath 4

Thumbs touching little fingers.

Inhale for 6. Hold for 6.

Exhale for 6 with one long hiss: SSSSSSSSSSS. Continue filling the pyramids with energy.

Breath 5

Thumbs touching index fingers.

Inhale for 6. Hold for 6.

Exhale for 6, visualizing both pyramids filling with brilliant white-gold light. No chant for this step.

Breath 6

Thumbs touching middle fingers.

Inhale for 6. Hold for 6.

Exhale for 6, continuing to fill the pyramids with white-gold light. No chant for this step.

From this point forward, with each breath you will draw in and visualize energy entering through both ends of the breathing tube simultaneously.

Phase II: The Energy Sphere (Breaths 7–13)

Index and middle fingers extended, thumb touching ring and little fingers

Breath 7

Thumbs touching ring and little fingers; index and middle fingers extended.

Inhale for 6, visualizing brilliant white-gold light entering the tube from both ends at the same time, meeting between your 2nd and 3rd chakras. Hold for 6 — the light forms a sphere the size of a grapefruit.

Exhale for 6, visualizing the sphere brightening with energy.

Breath 8

Same hand position.

Inhale for 6, visualizing the sphere growing until it reaches the base of your rib cage and the top of your pubic bone. Hold for 6.

Exhale for 6, visualizing the sphere brightening with intensity.

Breath 9

Same hand position.

Inhale for 6, visualizing the sphere brightening and growing in concentrated power. Hold for 6, feeling the brightness, intensity, and power.

Exhale for 6, visualizing the sphere growing brighter and more powerful.

Breath 10

Same hand position.

Inhale for 6. The sphere reaches maximum concentration and ignites, changing to a white-electric-blue flame, then to a brilliant shining gold like the Sun.

Round your lips to blow. Blow on the exhale for 6. As you blow, visualize the sphere expanding to surround your entire body. The original smaller sphere remains inside, more concentrated and brighter than the larger one.

Breath 11

Same hand position.

Inhale for 6, visualizing energy entering the breathing tube at both ends, concentrating in the smaller sphere, and expanding into the larger sphere. Hold for 6.

Exhale for 6, visualizing the energy expanding into the larger sphere, making it brighter and more powerful. The smaller sphere will likely begin spinning — go with the flow.

Breath 12 — Same as breath 11. Continue spinning the sphere.

Breath 13 — Same as breath 11. Continue spinning the sphere.

Phase III: Activating the Mer Ka Ba (Breaths 14–18)

Palms resting one on top of the other, facing up

Breath 14

For men: left palm on top of right, both facing up. For women: right palm on top of left, both facing up.

At the beginning of your inhale, move the smaller sphere up to your 3rd (Solar) chakra. Inhale for 6. The Solar chakra is the most powerful; with experience, you can move the sphere to any chakra of your choice.

Breath 15

Inhale for 6 and say in your mind: "EQUAL SPEED."

The two pyramids begin spinning in opposite directions — the top pyramid counterclockwise, the bottom clockwise. Round your lips and blow for 6, spinning and feeling the pyramids rotating in opposite directions. They move at one-quarter the speed of light. The spin feels like a pulsating sensation.

Breath 16

Inhale for 6 and say in your mind: "HALF THE SPEED OF LIGHT."

Round your lips and blow for 6, spinning and feeling the pyramids accelerate to half the speed of light.

Breath 17

Inhale for 6 and say in your mind: "THREE FOURTHS THE SPEED OF LIGHT."

Round your lips and blow. As the pyramids approach three-quarters the speed of light, a flat disk beneath your navel pops out and expands to approximately 55 feet in diameter. Continue blowing with force, feeling the speed of the disk increase and stabilize.

Breath 18

Inhale for 6 and say in your mind: "SPEED OF LIGHT."

Visualize the disk and pyramids spinning so fast they give off intense white light and energy. Hold for 6 and blow for 6. This stabilizes the disk.

After the Meditation

Remain in meditation for 5–15 minutes afterwards, concentrating on feeling the pulsating sensation of the disk.

Once this meditation has been started, it should be continued every day until the spinning fields become permanent. You will know they are permanent when you can feel the pulsating sensation any time you focus your attention on them. Once permanent, daily practice is no longer required.

Quick Reference

Breaths 1–4: Fill the pyramids with white-gold energy, cycling through each finger with chants SA, TA, NA, and a hiss.

Breaths 5–6: Continue filling the pyramids with energy. No chant.

Breaths 7–9: Draw energy through the breathing tube into a sphere between the 2nd and 3rd chakras. Build its size and intensity.

Breath 10: The sphere ignites and expands around your entire body.

Breaths 11–13: Continue energizing both spheres. The inner sphere begins spinning.

Breath 14: Move the sphere to the Solar (3rd) chakra.

Breaths 15–18: Spin the pyramids in opposite directions, accelerating from ¼ to full speed of light. At ¾ speed, a disk expands outward. At full speed, the Mer Ka Ba stabilizes.

After: Meditate on the pulsating sensation for 5–15 minutes. Practice daily until the fields are permanent.
