| Yantras Sacred Art of the Sages |
 |
 |
Over four thousand years ago, the ancient seers and sages of India
conceived and produced thousands of different yantras.
Yantras are visual tools used for meditation and represent universal
archetypal energies. Drawing and painting a yantra can quiet the mind
and improve concentration. Creating a yantra engages the visual,
nonverbal right hemisphere of the brain, while contemplating its symbolic
nature stimulates the left side.
Yantras are traditionally drawn and painted starting from the outside
inward, and this process is meant to bring the person creating the yantra
more inwardly focused, quiet, and serene. The Bindu, or point, at the
very center is ultimately the focal point and used as a concentration tool
during meditation.

Kevin will create a custom yantra for you by request or by according to a
specific quality you wish to permeate your life. These yantras are typically
created with goauche paint on 9"x9" watercolor paper, though size may
vary depending on design. Kevin will also recommend an accompanying
Mantra to increase the effects of meditating on the Yantra. Each yantra is
an original piece of artwork as well as a powerful meditative tool!
