  2. YANTRA • A Sanskrit word from the root yam, meaning to control or subdue. • -tra is an indo-european suffix meaning “instrument”. • Anything with structure or organization. • Depicts macrocosmic and microcosmic forces acting together (movement towards and away from the center). Promotes “control” and “liberation” within the one device

  3. Yantras are the maps of consciousness, geometric forms that were visualized by yogis in deep states of meditation when they tried to experience and understand the subtle vibrations within their own bodies and the cosmos. When you look at a yantra, it makes a huge impression on the energy patterns of your mind. These inner energy patterns begin to respond to concentration and awareness when you meditate on a yantra, as those images create powerful psychological impressions. Concentration on yantras develops intuitive as well as creative ability.

  4. Yantra Design • Commonly used shapes and patterns include: • Squares • Triangles • Circles • Floral Patterns • May also include more complex and detailed symbols.

  5. The Lotus Flower • Represents chakras, and each petal represents a psychic propensity (or “vritti”) associated with that chakra.

  6. A Dot or “Bindu” • Represents the starting point of creation, or the infinite, unexpressed cosmos.

  7. The “Shatkona” (Hexagram) • A balance between an upwards triangle (aspiration/fire/Shiva), and a downwards triangle (spiritual knowledge/water/Shakti)

  8. MANTRA • From Sanskrit manas (mind, to think, consciousness, soul) + -’tra’ (to free or liberate). • A sound, syllable, word or group of words capable of creating spiritual transformation. The OM syllable , believed to be the sound of the universe is considered the most basic matra.
