How to Do Meditation

—Building a Meditation Pyramid, Part One—

Home-Made Copper Meditation Pyramids
A copper pyramid for meditation offers a great sanctuary for sitting practice. The actual shape of the meditation pyramid together with the conductive copper creates a strong electromagnetic shield. Experiencing the difference a pyramid makes allows one to more readily recognize the influence of invasive energy and negative thought-forms.



The first thing I did was read about pyramids. At the time that I made my first pyramid all I could find was a paperback called “Pyramid Power” and it was almost completely useless. I did eventually find this enormous hardcover called something like “Ancient Wisdom”. I pretty much found my own way by experimenting.

Shape and Size Differences
I soon discovered that the mathematical relationship between the various angles and sides changed somewhat if not drastically from pyramid to pyramid. Simply take a look at the difference between the Giza Pyramids and the Nubian Pyramids. Why so different I wondered?

I went on to build a model pyramid for each of these different pyramid shapes and spent some time with them. Even a small pyramid can have quite a profound influence on the energy centers in the body. The Giza seemed to trigger my Heart Chakra whereas the Nubian triggered my Third Eye Chakra.

Constructing a Range of Meditation Pyramids
My curiosity was piqued. Determined to discover more about the importance of the shape, I came up with an interesting way to experience the entire gamut. This is something that is so easy to do at home and well worth it. Take a flat piece of cardboard and draw a perfect square on it approximately four inches to a side.

Take two rubber bands and stable them or tape them so as to create a cross diagonally from corner to corner. At this point you have what a pyramid would look like viewing it from directly above. Then take a paper clip and grab both rubber bands at the center where they cross. Lift the paper clip up slowly and notice the distinct feeling you get from the various shapes.

Note: The cardboard must be thick enough to hold its flat shape, otherwise you will need to anchor it by taping it to a table. Otherwise hold the cardboard down with your hand while pulling up.

How to Build or Construct a Pyramid like Giza
What I found was that the lower shapes set off the lower chakras while the upper pyramids set off the higher ones. Giza is a Heart Chakra pyramid— the center and most important chakra. Still, if you need to work on certain areas then you can build the appropriate pyramid to help you with the process. The dimensions of the Heart Pyramid are much more practical for meditation.

When I was playing with cardboard and rubber bands I could feel my body quiver whenever a new dynamic was reached. I had quite the visceral response. It is fascinating how powerful this shape is. My next compulsion was to understand the importance of the placement of the King’s Chamber. It is a special spot inside the pyramid. This type of copper pyramid, if I could build one the right size, would be the perfect meditation pyramid for sitting under.
