As we have been seeing in previous articles about the different sacred geometry symbols and their meanings, today we are going to see what the Merkaba symbol is.

We will better understand the meaning of Merkaba by breaking down its Hebrew etymology: Mer means light, Ka is spirit, and Ba refers to the body. In this sense, your body is the chariot for your spirit to ascend towards the light, yours and the world.
This idea provides the confidence to believe in the potential we have when we harmonize the duality of all our energies (feminine/masculine, light/dark, cosmos/earth, etc).
First of all, get into your most comfortable position to meditate with the support of a good meditation cushion o yoga block.
To meditate with Merkaba, you have to visualize the two triangles turning in opposite directions inside you. Little by little and breathing slowly and rhythmically, the energy field expands, aligning the body with the spirit and the mind.
The rotating energies during a Merkaba meditation can move fast or slow, and their radius of extension will depend on the meditator, but what is clear is that this sacred symbol is a powerful channel to access our interior and to feel and balance our energies. dual, giving them the potential to be and exist in an integrated way in our lives.
