Yantra
Instructions for Yantra meditation
The secret key to using Yantras in meditation is Resonance.
The process of Resonance is established by mental focus
on the image of the Yantra. As long as the mind is tuned
into the specific mood associated to that Yantra, the energy
flows, but when the Resonance is stopped, the energy disappears.
Instructions for Yantra meditation :
· Hang the Yantra on a wall facing North or
East, placing the center of the Yantra at the level of your
eyes.
· Adopt your favorite posture or, if you want, sit
on a chair maintaining your spine straight.
· Breath in through the nose and out through the
mouth, but do not force at all, just let the breath flow
normally
· Look into the center of the Yantra, trying to blink
as rarely as possible; you don't want to look at the particular
details of the Yantra, just keep your sight right in the
center and observe the whole Yantra at once
This exercise should last at least 15-30 minutes every day;
the experience will be indescribable in time, after at least
seven days of Yantra meditation you will be able to tap
into the same yantric energy even without a Yantra (at the
beginning you may fix your sight on an exterior or imaginary
point or evoke the Yantra with your eyes closed)
Do not forget to consecrate the fruits of this practice
to God (karma yoga). You should not chase any objective
when doing Yantra meditation, just let it gradually guide
you towards the sublime energies of the MACROCOSM
When executing this techniques it is recommended that we
maintain a state of aspiration and intense longing for experiencing
the beatific energies of the consciousness
In superior phases the Yantra absorbs the practitioner's
complete attention, and he can no longer tell if the Yantra
is within himself or if he is within the Yantra;
this is the state of nonduality.
The Bhramana section of Atharva Veda contains verses which
describe the mystic power of Yantras. (Bhramanas
are one of four primary sections of each Veda; concerned
mainly with details of Yagya and mysticism) Further details
are found in the post Upnishid era texts known as Brahiminical
Texts. These texts contain details of ways of designing
and preparing Yantras and their use. Covered in secrecy
and available only within few families these texts have
become available to general public only in the 20th century.
Thus, Yantras not only avert disasters but also help in
bringing good things to life. Yantras add value to ones
life and do have mystical powers to heal certain issues
which are not understood by most of the people.
