The nine designs known as yantras correspond to the nine qualities of essential well-being: radiance, nourishment, passion, intellect, expansion, bliss, organization, uniqueness, and spirituality. The ancient tantric art of drawing or painting the nine designs releases positive healing and centering effects. Using the basic elements of the square, circle, and triangle, the practitioner works clockwise from the outer edges inward toward the central point of stillness while reciting an accompanying mantra. This workbook provides an important resource for learning and performing this meditative ritual. 192 pp. January.
