A Yantra is a symbolic image used to maintain a focused state during meditation. By meditating on the image and mentally movings toward its center, the seeker can access deeper levels of meaning.

In his book, ''Sedona:Beyond the Vortex", Richard Dannelly explains Yantras as being energy diagrams that can be breathed into our minds to activate aspects of our consciousness, allowing us to achieve increasingly higher attunements with Universal Life-Force Energies.

Each month, Ignite into Light posts an original Yantra available for download and print at a high quality resolution, free of charge. These Yantras can also be purchased as cards, prints or canvases at imagekind.com. Original acrylic on canvas paintings of the Yantras are also available for purchase. Please email to inquire further.

Instructions for meditating with a Yantra:

• Find a quiet and comfortable place and with the Yantra in front of you, begin to gaze intently at the image.
• Allow any thoughts that arise to simply pass as you continue to gaze at the Yantra.
• Allow the image to enter your consciousness as if it was connecting with a duplicate image within you.
• As your inner image of the Yantra becomes clearer, close your eyes and feel yourself going deeper into the visualization. Imagine you are journeying deeper into yourself.
• With time and practice the image can release a rush of intuitive ideas and a deeper understanding of the universe and the forces that drive it
