Merkaba Crystals ~ More Sacred Geometry

What is a merkaba crystal? Well, merkaba, which can also be spelled "merkabah", is a crystal in a specific shape that allows one to connect to spirit at a higher level. The word merkaba can be broken up as such:

mer= light
ka= spirit
ba= body

Thus, merkaba can connect the spirit and the body. It is also called a Star Tetrahedron or a double tetrahedron. It is formed into a three dimensional star of David.  The merkaba is not something new or a "new age fad". In fact, it has been mentioned in many religious texts and holy books and was known to ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians and the Mayans. This is some old school, ancient knowledge here!

"The Merkaba is a counter-rotating field of light generated from the spinning of specific geometric forms that simultaneously affects one's spirit and body" Mountain Valley Center

This merkaba energy also spins around our physical bodies, although in many people it may not be fully activated; or spinning as fast as it should! Using the merkaba crystals can help to activate the merkaba energy that surrounds you. (Think of this like a spinning galaxy surrounding your person).

The merkaba crystal is said by some to be a compilation of each of the five platonic solids that I previously discussed in the geometric crystal set. It looks sort of like a star shape in 3-D. Using this type of crystal can allow you to become more connected with "you" and with your higher self and the divine. It can allow us to change our understanding and reach higher levels of consciousness. This includes being able to see our own limitations.

The merkaba crystal emits energy spirals. As such, it can be used in meditation to expand your awareness and further access the divine. As a healer, you can place an intention into the merkaba crystal and either use it in a healing session with a client or give it directly to your client. If you happen to find one that is a pendant, you can wear this and have the merkaba energy surrounding you throughout your day.

Having and using a merkaba crystal can have slightly different effects depending on the type of crystal or stone it is made from. For example, a bloodstone merkaba crystal might be more useful for healing needs; whereas a quartz crystal merkaba may help with connecting with the divine. Using crystals that correspond with the different chakras would prove beneficial for those particular chakras. A green stone in the form of a merkaba would be highly useful in dealing with matters related to the heart chakra. Amethyst merkaba would help with matters related to the higher chakras which help us to open our third eye and increase our intuition.
