Sri Yantra Meditation.
As you look at the Sri Yantra,
Allow your eyes to focus on its center.
The dot in the center is called the bindu.
The bindu represents the unity that underlies all the diversity of the physical world.
Now allow your eyes to see the triangles that enclose the bindu.
The downward pointing triangles represent the feminine creative power.
The upward facing triangle represents male energy.
Allow your vision to expand to include the circles outside of the triangles.
They represent the cycles of cosmic rhythms.
Within the image of the circle lies the notion that time has no beginning and no end.
The farthest region of space and the innermost nucleus of an atom both pulsate with the same rhythmic energy of creation.
That rhythm is within you and within the entire universe.
Bring your awareness to the lotus petals within the circles.
Notice how they're pointing outwards as if opening.
They illustrate the unfolding of our understanding.
The lotus represents creativity and our reproductive vital force.
As the lotus opens,
Our creativity and vitality expand.
The square on the outside represents the world of form,
The material world that our senses show us,
And the illusion of separated well-defined edges and boundaries.
At the periphery of the figure are four T-shaped portals or gateways that point towards the interior of the yantra,
The inner space of life.
They represent our earthly passage from the external and material to the internal and sacred.
Now take a moment to gaze into the yantra,
Letting the different shapes and patterns emerge naturally,
Allowing your eyes to be held loosely in focus.
Gaze at the center of the yantra.
Without moving your eyes,
Gradually expand your field of vision until you're taking in information beyond 180 degrees.
Now slowly,
Take a moment to focus on the center of the yantra.
Now gently close your eyes.
You may notice that the center of the yantra is the center of the yantra.
Now take a moment to focus on the center of the yantra.
Now gently close your eyes.
You may still see the yantra in your mind's eye.
The patterns of creativity represented by these primordial shapes express the fundamental forces of nature.
They govern the world and they govern you.
They govern the world and they govern you.
