Mandala or Yantra Meditation

A mandala is a universal symbol, and a yantra is a cosmically inspired
geometric design. By spending time gazing upon them we are drawn within to
greater realizations of esoteric qualities - beauty, truth, peace, joy.




I find pictures of blooming flowers inspiring, but use the mandala or yantra
that attracts you.



To begin your meditation select a quiet time and sit with a straight back
on a cushion on the floor in front of a low table, with a lighted candle and
incense if you desire.



Alternately, sit in a chair and place your candle and incense on a regular
table. Either way, have your mandala or yantra in front of you at eye level - on
the table or behind it on the wall.



Fold your hands in your lap or place them palms up on your thighs. Begin with a
prayer, uplifting verse or peace chant. Next, for the reflective portion of your
meditation just sit quietly, eyes open, gazing at the mandala or yantra.
Maintain this quiet time for as long as you like; allow yourself to enjoy the
experience.
