Drunvalo Melchizedek is a well known lecturer, teacher, scientist and healer. His Flower of Life Workshops are known around the world for introducing people to a long forgotton way of breathing with a meditation called the Merkaba. His combination of science, eclectic thought & mysticism is provoking and stimulating for all those who see his work. But it is his big heart and genuine nature that are most memorable!
Brigitte: I think most people are becoming aware that these are very unusual times...can you explain what you think is going on?
Drunvalo: Well, unusual times, yes certainly... but I think what we are experiencing is a consciousness change that is occurring on Earth. It's much more than just a physical change or anything of that nature; more than just earth changes or anything else. It is consciousness changing from one way of interpreting reality into another way of interpreting the same reality. That, in essence, is very simply what is going to happen.
Brigitte: Could you explain this shift a bit more...
Drunvalo: It is like we are going from one level of awareness to another...our perception will totally change from being a part of a polarity consciousness to understanding and being unity consciousness...we will be translating from 3rd dimensional reality to a 4th dimensional reality, or beyond.
Brigitte: With these changes ahead of us, how is the understanding of the Merkaba important?
Drunvalo: Basically, what we start out with are a number of interconnected energy fields that are geometric in nature and exist around every person's body. What we call the Merkaba is geometric energy - fields which have been activated by love and understanding. With the linking of the mind and heart in a special way these fields become alive . The Merkaba is the energy field that is used when one comes here from another world; in other words, whether you're born here, or if you die and leave here, the same fields are used. In most of these cases the Merkaba is used unconsciously, but it can also be used consciously, while you're still alive, in many, many, many different ways, which can be very useful during the times of ascension or great change. The Merkaba in itself though, is not really enough. It is one's love that makes the Merkaba alive. So you could study Merkaba science forever, but you wouldn't really know much or have much use of it unless you have love. In order to study the Merkaba one must also understand, and study, and live, what LOVE is.Brigitte: The Flower of Life is a Sacred Geometrical pattern that is found all over the world...how can we relate the FOL or other geometry to our own lives?
Drunvalo: The Flower of Life is a pattern which contains all other levels of sacred geometry, I think without exception, they are all in there, and no matter how intricate a pattern you find, you'll be able to trace it directly back to the FOL. So basically, it is a massive field of information.
How you can use it in your own life...the FOL also relates to all manifestation and all creation...so if you look at whatever it is that you're doing, you can find that if you need information, you can use the FOL to unfold or unravel that information.
It can be used in practical ways- as there is much knowledge within it-or is can be used in spiritual ways. For instance, once you understand what sacred geometry is and the proportions of it, you can use it in architecture. When you're building electrical circuits, if you are aware of the FOL, you can make electrical circuits far more efficient - there are a million, zillion ways to apply what is in the FOL. For example, think of a microwave oven...the way we make ours now it is producing chaos, making food not very good for you. But using the information in the FOL, and understanding how life is harmonic in certain ways, you could create a computer chip that could be plugged into a microwave oven that would not make food chaotic, but would actually make food healthier and perhaps even heal diseases.
The FOL contains a vast level of information from other geometry, but they all originate from the FOL. It's like a basket and inside there is all this other information. We know about that experiment with the Heala Foundation that plants are affected a lot by the FOL...I know when we put other symbols, even Reiki symbols on the SC 5 computer there is a very definite amount of power associated with whatever the symbol...when you put the FOL symbol on it, the SC5 goes into infinite- it can't find the maximum.Brigitte: The FOL is the name of your first workshop,...it is now being taught in over 29 countries in the world by trained facilitators. Why was it so important to have global exposure to the FOL training?
Drunvalo: I don't know that it is ! I didn't start the FOL... the angels were never concerned about having global exposure, they only wanted a few people to live it and make it real so that the information would go into the Grid where eventually people would remember anyway, with or without the FOL program. However, as it worked out, the FOL videos were released to give the information to the world - if they wanted it on the 3D level - Then I found out that people couldn't understand the Merkaba meditation from looking at those videos, so we realized that there needed to be somebody in the room while they were watching those videos to teach the meditation and answer people's questions...So that's how the Facilitator programme started.. and it's just been expanding ever since. My own energies have now shifted over into another level beyond just the Merkaba itself...I'm now finding ways to use the Merkaba to either heal or prepare us for what's coming.Brigitte: Can you tell me a little about your current advanced Workshop - Earth/Sky?
Drunvalo: The E/S Workshop is an offshoot of the Flower of Life in the sense that whoever comes to it needs to know the Merkaba, and have been breathing and living the Merkaba for at least three months ..The FOL just sort of left people with the basic tools of the Merkaba, the breathing, and the importance of following one's inner guidance. In the Earth Sky we begin to explore the potential of the Merkaba and apply it to everyday living, including the healing of the Earth.Brigitte: Why has the healing of the Earth taken on such importance..?
Drunvalo: We found now that there are ways we can connect with Mother Nature and that she can work through us for the purpose of healing the Earth and ourselves. I'm very attracted to this because I feel we've already made the preparations for ascension...I feel like everything is completed, like the grids are done, everything is ready to go. But we do have a Karmic pattern here on Earth...we've practically destroyed the entire planet through our particular level of consciousness (a polarity consciousness) and now we have the opportunity to heal it and bring it back into harmony again. My inner guidance is telling me this is something it wants me to do, so I 'm gonna do it !!Brigitte: I've heard you say that we all have remarkable abilities within us yet I always see people searching outside of themselves for answers... and I sense that people in some way are giving their power away. Can you address this ?
Drunvalo: This is something that has been going on for a long time...way back in ancient times religions always kept the power for themselves and never taught people that God was within them. Whenever people did teach that, they usually got killed. .because if it was true there would be no reason to have a Priesthood or a military or political systems, because we would be able to govern ourselves...we would literally have the power to exist in a healthy and happy way with out any external forces.
But for people of polarity consciousness, one of the side effects is that they are usually so fear-based that everybody wants to be in control, and it continues on and on and on... We happen to live in an extraordinary time, where we can live this kind of unity and we have the freedom to do that...and this hasn't happened too often in the past. It is important to get in touch with that part of ourselves that will allow this to happen.Brigitte: What simple things can people do to reconnect to this part of themselves...to heal themselves, others and Mother Earth?
Drunvalo: The Unity breath (now taught in FOL workshops & by Drunvalo) is the primary key..the easiest way to connect consciously with the Earth. But after doing that and after setting the pattern up, the most important thing to understand is that the simple things, like you said , are actually not so simple, they are really more powerful than they seem. The mundane, the everyday, what happens just as people are sitting and talking or being with family...there is huge potential in each of these moments for growth and spiritual understanding. It can happen more easily in a family setting than in any other way, but we have forgotten, and we think these things are just ordinary ,and they don't matter. A flower blooms and it's not ordinary, it's a miracle and there are miracles happening all around us, and we can't see them because we are immune...we don't thinks it's important..
Even the Dalai Lama was asked what is most important thing of all...and he turned and said family first. Relationships between Mothers and Fathers and children and those that we love and are close to us and relationships that we have on an every day basis are really huge alchemical processes that could be opened. But we don't do it, because we don't understand the power that is there...so each moment that we take a breath has a potential which is huge and it's up to us to see what is in that moment..here and now.
So often we think we have to go to Machu Picchu or the Great Pyramid or some fancy place and then we'll have an experience....and it is true that those places hold a certain energy that can make it easy for some....but really the potential is there with every single breath, no matter where you are, even in the most crummy place...it's still there!Brigitte: What can we expect to experience in the near future?
Drunvalo: I don't know....there are prophets that have given many ideas of what is coming in the future ...but the future never comes...it is never here, it never will be here...there is only this now.... But thinking in a linear way... there will be many awesome changes coming over the next fifteen years and the biggest change of all is just a change of heart. I wouldn't really be worried or concerned about what is going to come, or what might come, or anything else...just be focused here in the moment and learn how to be happy and love one another...I don't think there is anything more important.
I don't like to get into prophecies that much because it takes you out of this moment ...just thinking about what is going to happen, or might happen, brings one out of the moment (space of creation) especially if whatever it is, creates fear. All it does is close down your ability to create.Brigitte: What can we do for people who are totally not open to this part of themselves..who are unwilling to even consider this potential within themselves?
Drunvalo: That's a big problem. People say they believe in God all the time but they don't really understand it, because if they really did they wouldn't be here learning all of life's lessons. Although, I believe everybody does know this on some level...they just aren't conscious of it...because if you really believe in God, you know that God is in all things everywhere...and definitely is here now...and anyone who truly believes that...their life is forever changed.
Brigitte: So all of us are here learning life's lessons...and we teach by living it to the best of our abilities?
Drunvalo: Example is the best form of teaching there is, and it will very definitely affect life in a very positive way. Using words like we are doing right now only reaches a certain level of our consciousness, but when someone actually sees something alive, or sees something happening, then they believe and they can take it in fully, whereas words...they can help sometimes, but they are not ultimate teaching, ever.
The only thing we can do is love.... coming back to love and knowing and understanding and remembering that God is within us, without, and around us.
