In the last blog post about the [Top 3 Meditations and Where to Learn Them Properly](https://steemit.com/health/@robertgenito/unreal-top-3-meditations-and-where-to-learn-them-properly), I talked about the Pangu Shengong Non-Moving Form. Should you exercise this diligently at least once a day--including the fundamental Basic Moving Form totaling a commitment of 40 minutes a day--this exercise will bring you unreal results and change your life.
Today, I rarely practice Pangu Shengong, and you will find out why! Let's kick it up a notch.
# #2: The Mer-Ka-Ba Meditation
https://youtu.be/XyUOgHVsDiY
The term merkaba comes from ancient Egypt. It literally means "Light Spirit Body" (Mer = a form of light that rotates within itself, Ka = the human spirit, Ba = body / vehicle.) It is your "light body", your body of light; a form of a light crystal that surrounds your bodies' fields--a "field" that surrounds your body. It is also programmable by your own intentions.
The meditation was re-introduced to humanity--and promoted with much effort--by Drunvalo Melchizedek. The meditation takes between 5 and 10 minutes to perform. The purpose of this meditation is to help you remember your light body, which is an ancient spiritual technology. Yes, you read that right: "spiritual" technology. Once you remember your light body, you can use it to ascend (and descend) into other dimensions of thought, emotion, and more that I am unsure how to categorize. It is quite advanced compared to the experience you've made a habit on this earth, and there is a lot you can do with it. Within the exercise you utilize 17 special breaths. There is an 18th breath that is discouraged from being practiced--at least it is discouraged while you are "young" and beginning to understand the Merkaba.
I have used the Merkaba for many things, and mostly to "receive answers in this life". Here's a short summary of some highlighted experiences I've had:
## Suffering and Relief
*"Dear one, recognize that you are already being helped and guided. Every moment."*
When my struggles with personal life, business, and health were at its peak, I asked for help. The answer came in the form of grateful emotions, provided such wonderful and rapid relief, and can best be translated as the above quote. This is so true for all of us, and it is not even funny! At that moment, I embraced and forever realized this truth. When you cry for help, do know that it is not even necessary for you to ask for help: your guides through this life are always giving you the best and most specialized help.
*"Always at this moment, you are exactly where you need to be and wanted to be."*
## Our Father
Although I am not a very religious, I intuitively asked to understand the "Our Father" prayer one day. I went into the Merkaba light body meditation with this intention, and when I came out, I went with my intuition: to immediately read a version of the "Our Father".
Upon reading, tons of information poured into my mind for each line. Now that I look back, I realize that the Merkaba opened me to be able to translate information from the universe into this physical reality. Thankfully, I wrote it down. If I hadn't written it down, I would have forgotten everything! Re-reading those words helps me "hook into" and remember the experience. I still have a copy of all words I could possibly translate from that wordless source of my experience.
After writing these things down, my next immediate intuition was to do some googling. The results shocked me. Ironically, as my young past was very dogmatic and religious, I had never studied the Our Father. And now I was on the same page as experts that had studied the Our Father for their whole life, *and* I felt confident to correct certain mis-conclusions these experts held.
Here are some epiphanies on the Our Father I had immediately during that meditation session:
* It is a poem (and possibly meditation / affirmation) that relates to what happens "in the heavens"--how it is translated into our reality. As above, so below.
* We come to this earth with everything we need--all of our needs are taken care of, always. You can only argue this if you have forgotten this reality.
* The Our Father's english translation is very misleading, and it is not possible to understand it with the literal words used and compared with this society's contextual experiences. This was done purposely due to fear.
* There are parts missing from the Our Father, including the fact that there is a corresponding "Our Mother" poem. Shortly afterwards I eventually found the Our Mother prayer. Awesome.
## Pros
* **Centers and balances your entire body quickly:** emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. This meditation quiets the mind quickly and consistently. By "centers and balances you", I mean that this exercise alleviates the pressure that builds up from daily life. Even if you do not have any "pressure" that you are aware of, you'll always sense that you are resisting less.
* **More Receptive to Subtle Energies:** I'll be honest, I'm having a hard time figuring out a way to expand on this concept and how incredibly useful it is on your journey in this life! We always have subtle "hints" throughout life; these subtle hints are like whispers to help us become who we want to be, to help us learn our lessons in life quickly, to help us "get the hint" the first time instead of having to learn after multiple iterations of the same frustrations. You'll become more receptive to these subtle energy hints.
* **Easy and super quick to practice.** Usually it takes me about 6 minutes to practice. It's easy to get caught up with marketing non-sense throughout the day and get distracted from our daily and long-term goals. After 6 minutes of breathing, I am back in focus!
## Cons
This is barely a con, yet I still want to be fair and tell you about the only challenge you will have during your learning or "remembering": it takes time to learn this. All-in-all, that completely doesn't matter, as the learning curve is sooooo worth it.
# Where to Learn the Merkaba
Read the Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life books. Tip: get the paperback copies, not the kindle!
* Volume 1: https://www.amazon.com/Ancient-Secret-Flower-Life-Vol/dp/1891824171/ref=sr_1_1_twi_pap_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1499672338&sr=8-1
* Volume 2: https://www.amazon.com/Ancient-Secret-Flower-Life/dp/189182421X/ref=sr_1_2_twi_pap_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1499672338&sr=8-2
* Order the videos, watch all the videos that are available on youtube, and go to a workshop!
Watch this video about Humanity's Hidden History--most of the information has come *directly* from these Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life books. You'll either "half-believe" it, or remember it entirely :) Even if you disagree with it and find it entertaining, it will introduce important information to your subconscious which will later be pulled to your awareness. That's when it becomes useful!

# More Information
Like every bad ass that is onto something big, they are first laughed at, ridiculed, and often called a fraud (for unreasonable reasons) by fearful people--Drunvalo is no different. You, yourself, should be completely aware of this--aren't you telling others about Steem, Bitcoin, etc. and hear some people calling it a scam? Dumb asses :) I mean, Da masses...err, "the masses". Keep this in mind when researching Drunvalo--you're going to find trolls.
The first video that is embedded above is a great overview of the experience of the Merkaba meditation. It's also a great guided meditation for those very familiar with the exercise. Here it is again:

Disclaimer: I have not exercised every meditation known to man, and I am open to learn more! :) Also, I have not been asked to write this article. I am writing it entirely because it had a huge impact on my life and development, and it is an amazing exercise that I have learned so much from.
