Star Tetrahedron

The star tetrahedron is one of five shapes in sacred geometry, and it is the first and most simple. Sacred geometry is found all around us. It is believed that each shape of sacred geometry has a divine connection, and each shape produces specific individual energy.

Description

A tetrahedron has four sides, making the energy of the tetrahedron fire, and a star tetrahedron is called a double tetrahedron or a Merkaba, a term derived from the ancient Egyptians.

A double tetrahedron is two tetrahedrons combined into one balanced star tetrahedron or Merkaba. Merkaba is broken down into three individual Egyptian terms. “Mer” means light, “ka” means spirit, and “ba” means body.

The star tetrahedron represents equilibrium, reproduction, and the connection shared between two identical halves. The star tetrahedron is the sacred geometrical shape that is most representative of the human body, male and female, and heaven and earth.

 

Humans are the only lifeform that are able to completely embody both body and spirit, which is what makes the star tetrahedron useful in meditation and clairvoyance.

The star tetrahedron is often found in nature, such as the spherical tetrahedron that is formed when an egg is fertilized and divides. In addition to nature, the tetrahedron is found in architecture and arts. The Egyptian pyramids are designed after a tetrahedron. In Christianity, the Star of David is represented by the star tetrahedron.

The Metaphysical Star Tetrahedron and the Human Body

Meditating with a star tetrahedron will connect you with your higher self to allow yourself to understand each area of your life better so that they may live in harmony. You have a physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional body that you must connect with in order to live fully and harmoniously.

The star tetrahedron will allow you to deeply connect with all of those bodies, as the star tetrahedron will connect you with your higher self in an upper dimension that you would otherwise not be able to reach.

How to Use a Star Tetrahedron

In meditation, you will want to hold the star tetrahedron in your hand. You will want to completely enclose your hand around the star so that you are able to connect with all realms of your higher self: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

You can also place the star tetrahedron on your body during a meditation or healing session. If you are looking to cleanse your environment of negative energy and focus on the bodies of your higher self, you can hang a star tetrahedron from the ceiling of the space you are trying to cleanse and meditate. This will not only cleanse your environment but will also give you a sacred space to meditate under.

The last three-dimensional shape found in sacred geometry is the dodecahedron. This shape is connected to the element of spirit. It is used for discovering who our true self is in regard to a spiritual being rather than the physical being. The dodecahedron is connected to the Higher Chakras, as it is a spirit shape of sacred geometry and relates to a person’s higher spiritual self.

The Flower of Life

Unlike the three-dimensional shapes mentioned above, the flower of life is made up of perfectly placed overlapping circles. These circles are perfectly spaced apart. The flower of life represents our life force energy and the blood that flows through us. The circles represent the universe, the earth, and our energy as all intertwined and living together. The flower of life is found worldwide in architectural structures in Egypt, China, Spain, Israel, India, and Japan.

Sphere

The last shape found in sacred geometry is the sphere. The simplicity of the sphere represents unity, completeness, and equality. The sphere is considered to be the most sacred symbol in the universe, even though it is the most simple. This is because everything fits within the sphere. The sphere represents various aspects of life. For example, Gaia, also known as Mother Earth, is a sphere. The planets, moons, and sun are all spheres, as well as atoms and cells.

How to Make a Star Tetrahedron

You can use this pattern to make your own star tetrahedron.

You will need to print 4 copies of this image to represent the 4 total sections of the Mekabra.

Then, you will follow the lines to cut the pattern out. The dashed lines are the inside folds, and the solid lines are the outside folds. Once you make your folds, you will glue them and secure them. Last, you will glue each of the tetrahedrons together, making the star tetrahedron.

Making a star tetrahedron out of paper does not have the same effect as a natural star tetrahedron, so here is where you can purchase one instead of making one.

Yellow quartz is related to the Solar Plexus Chakra represents wisdom and joy. Yellow quartz would be used if you were trying to learn from past experiences. Yellow quartz is also used if you were attempting to gain self-confidence.
