More than 4,000 Years ago In Northern India sages sat In meditation. During this deep Contemplation, the Cosmos began to reveal Itself first int he form of Mantra (sound vibration), followed by Yantra (visual representation and counterpart to each Mantra). These Wise men understood that each individual Yantra, with its particular geometric shape constructions and color combinations, represents a unique aspect of the Universe. The Tantric Yantra Is equivalent to the Buddhist Mandala except the Mandala represents The Entire Cosmos while the Yantra is a specific deity or energy. YAM=Support/Holding the essence of an object or concept TRA=Liberation From bondage YANTRA=Tool for freedom. BENEFITS: The colors and shapes comprising the Yantra are like a container of this Energy. Thus, by creating or Meditating upon a Yantra, you invoke this energy, which can enhance your life. Despite their differences, all Yantras share a centering effect that lead you back to Source and feelings of contentment. When creating a Yantra, start at the top, drawing In a clockwise direction (Creation). Always move from the outside In. This pattern mirrors the process of Meditation taking the practitioner from the periphery to the core of your being. Today, more stress Is put on left-brain activities and when we use the right brain, It functions alternately from the left. Yantra Creation is one of the few activities that simultaneously engages both of the brains hemispheres.
