                      The Teaching On Spherical Breathing

                            By Drunvalo Melchizedek

Gabriel Hettes (HettesG@darden.gbus.virginia.edu) 21 Dec 94 transcribed:

Like the sun, we must breath, radiating out to all life. And from all life we
will receive our manna.

Begin by creating a place in your home that is used only for this meditation.
Make a space where no one will walk through or disturb you, possibly in your
bedroom. A small altar with a candle and a cushion or pillow to sit upon may be
helpful. Make this place holy. It is here that you will learn to create the
MER-KA-BA around your body and make conscious contact with your higher self.

Once each day, enter into this meditation, until the time comes when you are a
conscious breather, remembering with each breath your intimate connection with
God.

To begin the meditation, first sit down and relax. Let the worries of the day
go. Breathe rhythmically and shallow. Be aware of your breath and relax. When
you feel the tension begin to fade, begin to open your heart. Feel Love. Feel
Love for all life everywhere. Continue to breathe rhythmically, being aware of
your breath, and feel the Love moving through your spirit. When the FEELING of
love is in your beingness, you are ready to begin to move towards the
experience to the MER-KA-BA. Without this Love, no amount of knwoledge will
create the MER-KA-BA. To the degree you are able to Love, will be the degree
you will be able to experience the MER-KA-BA.

The following is an overview of the meditation to reach the MER-KA-BA. There
are seventeen breaths to reach completion. The first six are for balancing of
the polarities within your eight electical circuits, and , also, for the
cleansing of these circuits. The next seven, which are quite different, are to
reestablish the proper pranic flow through your body, and to recreate Spherical
Breathing within your body. The fourteenth breath is unique unto itself. It
changes the balance of pranic energy within your body from third dimensional to
fourth dimensional awareness. The last three breaths recreate the rotating
fields of the MER-KA-BA within and around your body.

The instructions: The following instructions will be broken down into four
areas: MIND, BODY, BREATH and HEART

FIRST BREATH: Inhale

HEART: Open your heart and feel love for all life. If you cannot do this, you
must at least open to this love as much as is possible for you. This is the
most important instruction of all.

MIND: Become aware of the male tetrahedron (the apex facing up to thge sun, the
point facing to the front for male, the point to the back for females) filled
with the brilliant white light surrounding your body. Visualize it the best you
can. If you cannot visualize it, sense or feel it surrounding you.

BODY: At the same moment of inhalation, place your hands in the mudra of your
thumb and first finger touching. Remember, lightly touch your fingers, and do
not allow your fingers to touch each other or any other object. Keep your palms
facing up.

BREATH: At this same moment, with empty lungs, begin to breath in a complete
yogic manner. Breathe through your nostrils only, except at certain places
which will be described. Simply put, breath from your stomach first, then your
diaphragm, and finally your chest. Do this in one movement, not three parts.
The exhale is completed either by holding the chest firm and relaxing the
stomach, slowly releasing the air, or by holding the stomach firm and relaxing
the chest. The most important aspect is that this breathing must be rhythmic.
Begin by using seven seconds in and seven seconds out, but as you get familiar
with this meditation, find your own rhythm. The following instructions for a
complete Yogic Breath are from "the Hindu-Yogi Science of Breath" by Yogi
Ramacharake. Perhaps this description will be helpful.

Breathing through the  nostrils, inhale steadily, first filling the lower part
of the lungs, which is accomplished by bringing into play the diaphagm, which
descending exerts a gentle pressure on the abdominal organs, pushing forward
the front walls of the abdomen. Then fill the midddle part of the lungs, pusing
out the lower ribs, breastbone and chest. Then fill the higher portion of the
lungs, protruding the upper chest, thus lifting the chest, including the upper
six or even pairs of ribs. At first reading it may appear that this breath
consists of three distinct movements. This, however, is not the correct idea.
The inhalation is continuous, the entire chest cavity from the lowered
diaphragm to the highest point of the chest in the region of the collar bone,
being expanded with a uniform movement. Avoid a jerky series of inhalations,
and strive to attain a steady continuous action. Practice will soon overcome
the tendency to divide the inhalation into three movements, and will result in
a uniform continuous breath. You will be able to complete the inhalation in a
few seconds after a little practice.

Exhale quite slowly, holding the chest in a firm position, and drawing the
abdomen in a little and lifting it upward as the air leaves the lungs. When the
air is entirely exhaled, relax the chest and abdomen. A little practice will
render this part of the exercise easy, and the movement once acquired will be
afterward performed almost automatically.

FIRST BREATH: Exhale

HEART: Love

MIND: Become aware of the female tetrahedron, (apex pointing to the earth,
point facing to the back for males, point facing to the front for females),
also filled with the brilliant white light

BODY: Keep the same mudra.

BREATH: Do NOT hesitate at the top of the inhalation to begin the exhalation.
Exhale quite slowly, approximately seven seconds, in the Yogic manner. When the
air is out of the lungs, without forcing, relax the chest and abdomen and HOLD
the breath. When you feel pressure to breathe again, after about five seconds
or so, then do the following:

MIND: Be aware of the flat equilateral triangle at the top of the female
tetrahedron located in the horizontal plane that passes through your chest at
the sternum. In a flash, and with a pulse like energy, send taht triangular
plane down through the female tetrahedron. It gets smaller as it goe down and
pushes out the tip or apex of the tetrahedron all the negative energy of the
mudra or electrical circuit, a light will shoot out of the apex toward the
center of the Earth. The Mind exercise is performed along with the following
BODY movements.

BODY: Move your eyes slightly toward each other, or, in other words, slightly
cross your eyes. Now bring them up to the top of their sockets, or in other
words, look up. Also, this looking up motion should not be extreme. You will
feel a tingling feeling between your eyes in the area of your third eye . You
can now look down to the lowest point you can, as fast as you can. You should
feel an electrical sensation move down your spine. The MIND and BODY must
coordinate the above mental exercis e with the eye movements. The eyes look
down from their up position at the same time the mind sees the triangular
horizontal plane  of the female tetrahedron move down to the apex of the female
tetrahedron. This combined exercise will clean out the negative thoughts and
feelings that have entered into your electrical system. Specifically, it will
clean out the part of your electrical system that is associated with the
particular mudra you are using. Immediately upon pulsing the energy down your
spine, you change mudras to the next one and begin the entire cycle over again.
The next five breaths are a repeat of the first breath with the following mudra
changes:
     Second breath mudra: Thumb and second finger together
     Third breath mudra: Thumb and third finger together
     Fourth breath mudra: Thumb and little finger together
     Fifth breath mudra: Thumb and first finger together (same as first
     breath)
     Sixth breath mudra: Thumb and second finger together( same as second
     breath)
The first part, the first six breaths, the balancing of the polarities, and the
cleansing of your electircal system is now complete. You are now ready for the
next part, the next seven breaths.

Here an entirely new breathing pattern begins. You do not need to visualize the
star tetrahedron at this time. Only the tube that runs through the star, from
the apex of the male tetrahedron above your head to the apex of the female
tetrahedron below your feet, needs to be seen and worked with. This extends one
hand length above your head and one hand length below your feet. The diameter
of YOUR tube will be the size of the hole formed by YOUR thumb and forefinger
touching.

BREATH NUMBER SEVEN: Inhale

HEART: Love. There is another refinement here that can be used after you have
perfected this meditation. It will be discussed in class.

MIND: Visualize or sense the tube running through your body. The instant you
begin the seventh inhale, see the brilliant white light of the prana moving
down the tube from the top and up the tube from the bottom at the same time.
This movement is almost instantaneous. The point where these two light beams
meet within your body is controlled by the mind and is a vast science known
throughout the universe. In this teaching however, we will only be shown what
is necessary , that which will take you from third to fourth dimensional
awareness. In this case you will direct the two beams of prana to meet at your
navel, or more correct, within your body at navel level, inside the tube. The
moment the two beams of prana meet, which is just as the inhale begins, a
sphere of white light or prana is formed at the meeting point about the size of
a grapefruit centered on the tube. It all happens in an instant. As you
continue to take the inhale of the seventh breath, the sphere of prana begins
to concentrate and grow slowly.

BODY For the next seven breaths use the same mudra for both inhale and exhale,
the thumb, first and second touching together palms up.

BREATH: Deep rhythmic Yogic breathing, seven seconds in and seven seconds out.
There is no holding of the breath from now on. The flow of prana from the two
poles will not stop or change in any way when you go from inhale to exhale. It
will be a continuous flow that will not stop for a long as you breath in this
manner, even after death.

SEVENTH BREATH: Exhale

MIND: The prana sphere centered at the navel continues to grow. By the time of
the full exhale, the prana sphere will  be approximately eight or nine inches
in diameter.

BREATH: Do not force the air out of your lungs. When your lungs are empty
naturally, immediately begin the next breath.

EIGHTH BREATH: Inhale

HEART: Love.

MIND: The prana sphere continues to concentrate life force energy and grow in
size

EIGHT BREATH: Exhale

MIND: The prana sphere continues to grow in size and will reach maximum size at
the end of this breath. This maximum size is different for each person. If you
put your longest finger in the center of your navel, the line on your wrist
defining your hand will show you the radius of the maximum size of this sphere
for YOU. This sphere of prana cannot grow larger.

NINTH BREATH: Inhale

MIND: The prana sphere cannot grow larger, so what happens is the prana begins
to concentrate within the sphere. The visual appearance is that the sphere
grows BRIGHTER.

BREATH: Sphere grows brighter and brighter as you inhale.

NINTH BREATH: Exhale

BREATH: As you exhale, the sphere continues to grow brighter and brighter.

TENTH BREATH: Inhale

MIND: About half way through this inhale, as the sphere continues to brighter,
the prana sphere reaches critical mass. The sphere ignites into a sun, a
brilliant blinding ball of white light. You are now ready for the next step.

TENTH BREATH: Exhale

MIND: At the moment of exhale, the small sphere two hand lengths in diameter
bulges to expand. In one second, combined with the breath talked about below,
the sphere expands quickly out to the sphere of Leonardo, out at your finger
tips of your extended arms. Your body is now completely enclosed within a huge
sphere of brilliant white light. You have returned to the ancient form of
spherical breathing. However, at this point, this sphere is not stable. You
MUST breath three more times to keep the sphere stable.

BREATH: At the moment of exhale, make a small hole with your lips and blow out
your air with pressure. As you feel the sphere begin to bulge, all within the
first second of this exhale, let all of your air out rapidly. The sphere will
expand at that moment.

PART3: ELEVENTH, TWELFTH and THIRTEENTH BREATH: Inhale and Exhale

MIND: Relax and just feel the flow of the prana flowing from the two poles and
meeting at the navel and then expanding out to the large sphere

BREATH: Breath rhythmically and deep. At the end of the thirteenth breath you
have stabilized the large sphere and are ready for the important 14th breath.

THE FOURTEENTH BREATH

HEART: Love

MIND: On the inhale of the 14th breath, at the very beginning of the breath,
move the point where the two beams of prana meet from the navel to the sternum,
the fourth dimensional chakra. The entire large sphere, along with the original
sphere, which is also still contained within the large sphere, moves up to the
new meeting point within the tube. Though this is very easy to do, it is an
extremely powerful movement. Breathing from this new point within the tube will
inevitably change your awareness from third to fourth dimensional
consciousness, or from earth consciousness to Christ consciousness. It will
take awhile, but as I have said , it is inevitable.

BODY: This mudra will be used for the rest of the meditation. Place the left
palm on top of the right palm for males and the right palm on top of the left
palm for females. It is a mudra that relaxes.

BREATH: Rhythmic breath and deep.  However, if you continue to breathe from
your Christ center without moving on to the MER-KA-BA, which is what is
recommended until you have made contact with your Higher Self, then shift to a
shallow breath. In other words, breath rhythmically but in a comfortable manner
where your attention is more on the flow of energy moving up and down the tube
meeting at the sternum and expanding out to the large sphere. Just feel the
flow. Use your feminine side to just be. At this point don t think, just
breath, feel and be. Feel your connection to All Life through the Christ
Breath. Remember your intimate connection with God.

The Mer-Ka-Ba, The Vehicle Of Ascension

The Last Three Breaths

You are asked not to attempt this FOURTH PART until you have made contact with
your Higher Self, AND your Higher Self has given you permission to proceed.
This part is to be taken seriously. The energies that will come into and around
your body and spirit are of tremendous power. If you are not ready, you could
hurt yourself. If your Higher Self gives you permission to enter into the
MER-KA-BA, then don t fear, for you will be ready.

FIFTEENTH BREATH: Inhale:

HEART: Love

MIND: Be aware of the whole star tetrahedron. Realize that there are three
whole star tetrahedrons superimposed over each other. One is the body itself,
and is locked in place and never, except under certain conditions, moves. It is
placed around the body according to maleness or femaleness. The second whole
star  tetrahedron is male in nature, it is electrical, is literally the human
mind and rotates counter-clockwise relative to your body looking out, or to put
it another way, it rotates toward your left side. The third whole star
tetrahedron is female in nature, is magnetic, is literally the human emotional
body and rotates clockwise relative to your body looking out, or to put it
another way, it rotates toward your right side.

To be clear, we are not telling you to rotate the male tetrahedron one way and
the female the other way. When we say rotate the whole star tetrahedron, we
mean the whole thing.

On the inhale of the fifteenth breath, as you are inhaling, you will say to
yourself, in your head, the code words, EQUAL SPEED. This will tell your mind
that you want the two rotatable whole star tetrahedrons to begin spinning in
opposite directions at equal speeds at the time of the exhale. Meaning that for
every complete rotation of the mind tetrahedrons, there will be a complete
rotation of the emotional tetrahedrons.

BODY: Continue the mudra of the folded hands from now on.

BREATH: Breath Yogic and rhythmically an deeply again, but only for the next
three breaths, after that return to the shallow breathing.

FIFTEENTH BREATH: Exhale

MIND: The two sets of tetrahedrons take off spinning. In an instant, they will
be moving at exactly one third the speed of light at their outer tips. You
probably will not be able to see this because of their tremendous speed, but
you can feel it. What you have just done is to start the MOTOR of the
MER-KA-BA. You will not go anywhere, or have an experience. It is just like
starting the motor of a car, but having the transmission in neutral.

BREATH: Make a small hole with your lips just like you did for breath Number
Ten. Blow out in the same manner, and as you do, feel the two sets of
tetrahedrons take off spinning.

SIXTEENTH BREATH: Inhale

MIND: This is the most amazing breath. On the inhale, as you are inhaling, say
to yourself, in your head, THIRTY-FOUR - TWENTY-ONE. This is the code to your
mind to spin the two sets of tetrahedrons at a ratio of 34-21. Meaning the Mind
tetrahedrons spinning to the left will go around 34 times while the emotional
tetrahedrons spinning to the right will go around 21 times. As the two sets
speed up the ratio will remain constant.

BREATH: Breathe rhythmically and Yogic.

SIXTEENTH BREATH: Exhale

MIND: As you let out the breathe, the two sets of tetrahedrons take off from
their one third speed of light setting to two third speed of light in an
instant. As they approach two thirds speed of light speed a phenomena takes
place. A disk about 55 feet in diameter forms around the body at the level of
the base of the spine. And the sphere of energy that is centered around the two
sets of tetrahedrons forms with the disk to create a shape that looks like a
FLYING  SAUCER around the body. This energy matrix is called the MER-KA-BA.
However, it is not stable. If you see or sense the MER-KA-BA around you at this
point, you will know it to be unstable. It will be slowly wobbling. Therefore
Breath Number Seventeen is necessary.

BREATH: Same as breath 16, make a small hole in your lips, and blow out with
pressure. It is at this point that the speeds increases. As you feel the speed
increasing, let out all your breath with force. This action will cause the
higher speed to be fully obtained and the MER-KA-BA to be formed.

SEVENTEENTH BREATH: Inhale

HEART: Remember, unconditional love for all life must be felt through out all
of this meditation or no results will be realized.

MIND: As you breathe in, say to yourself, in your head, the code NINE TENTHS
THE SPEED OF LIGHT. This code will tell your mind to increase the speed of the
MER-KA-BA to nine tenths the speed of light which will stabilize the rotating
field of energy. It will also do something else. This third dimensional
universe that we live in is tuned to 9/10 the speed of light. Every electron in
your body is rotating around every atom in your body at 9/10 the speed of
light. This is the reason this particular speed is selected.

BREATH: Breathe rhythmically and in a Yogic manner.

SEVENTEENTH BREATH: Exhale

MIND: The speed increases to 9/10 the speed of light and stabilizes the
MER-KA-BA.

BREATH: Same as breath 15 and 16, make a small hole in your lips, and blow out
with pressure. As you feel the speed take off, let all your breath out with
force. You are now in your stable and Third dimensionally tuned MER-KA-BA. With
the help of your Higher Self, you will understand what this really means.

EIGHTEENTH BREATH:

This very special breath will not be taught here. You must receive it from Your
Higher Self. It is the breath that will take you through the speed of light
into the fourth dimension. You will disappear from this world and reappear in
another one that will be your new home for awhile. This is not the end, but the
beginning of an ever expanding consciousness returning you HOME to your FATHER.
