Sri Yantra

The Sri Yantra is one of the most revered and powerful sacred symbols in the ancient Vedic tradition, dating back thousands of years. Known as the "Queen of Yantras," this mystical diagram represents the cosmic dance of creation and dissolution, the union of divine masculine and feminine energies. At its core, the Sri Yantra consists of nine interlocking triangles - four pointing upward (representing Shiva consciousness) and five pointing downward (representing Shakti energy). These triangles radiate outward from a central point called the bindu, symbolizing the primordial void from which all creation emerges. Each breath in this practice follows the traditional construction sequence of the Sri Yantra, moving from the outer gates of manifestation toward the central point of pure consciousness. As you progress through the breathing cycles, you trace the sacred geometry with your breath - each inhalation and exhalation corresponding to the precise angles and intersections that make up this powerful cosmic map. The practice mirrors the journey of consciousness itself - from the outer realms of material existence (represented by the outer triangles) to the subtle inner dimensions (middle triangles), and finally to the point of ultimate unity (central bindu). This mirrors the ancient understanding that breath is the bridge between the manifest and unmanifest realms. This technique is particularly powerful for those seeking to align with cosmic rhythms, explore sacred geometry through breath, or experience the profound states of consciousness that arise when working with this ancient mystical technology.

1. Prepare Your Space • Find a quiet, comfortable place • Sit with your spine straight but relaxed • Rest your hands on your knees • Close your eyes or maintain a soft gaze 2. Understanding the Pattern • The breath follows a journey inward • Each cycle gets longer and deeper • Start with shorter breaths (outer triangles) • Progress to longer breaths (inner triangles) • End with the deepest breath (center point) 3. Follow the Breath Sequence • Begin with gentle 4-second breaths • Let each new cycle naturally lengthen • Feel each breath becoming deeper • Allow pauses between breaths • Let the circle guide your timing 4. Tips for Success • Stay relaxed throughout • Don't force longer breaths • Keep your attention gentle • If you need shorter breaths, that's okay • Trust your body's natural rhythm 5. What You May Experience • Growing sense of stillness • Natural drawing inward of attention • Deepening mental clarity • Feeling of spaciousness • Peaceful settling of mind Remember: This is a gentle journey inward - there's no need to rush. Let each breath flow naturally and trust the process.
