Sri Yantra

Meditation

From the Hindu tantric tradition comes the Sri Yantra, or “great object.” Its nine interlocking triangles form a powerful symbol for meditation. The proportions of the largest triangle are the same as each face on the Great Pyramid at Giza in Egypt. The dimensions of that pyramid conform to the divine proportion of the Phi ratio. The math and mysticism involved in the exploration of Sacred Geometry create ever-expanding connections as we begin to see a multitude of cross-cultural influences. This becomes common ground for art, science, and spirit.

The rings of lotus petals and the surrounding square with four doors represent boundaries within which consciousness resides. Drawing this card suggests you may find yourself needing protection or a break from the chaos and overstimulation of the outside world. Use the Sri Yantra as an ordered space within which to find the peace you require. By your intention move into the symbol and experience time as a place of stillness ion the eternal now.

Breathe deeply as you focus your attention on the simplicity of each triangle, moving from the largest to the smallest at the center and then from the smallest to the largest and back into your daily life. May peace surround you.

Reversed

You are especially in need of a quiet meditative space in which to reestablish your connection to Self and Spirit. Use the Sri Yantra as a mechanism to help you find this internal peace.
