Sri Yantra: The Mother Yantra

<h1>Sri Yantra: The Mother Yantra<h1>

The Sri Yantra, is a sacred geometric diagram or mandala used in Tantra and other spiritual traditions and contains the energy of the Goddess. The Sri Yantra is composed of nine interlocking triangles that form a central point or bindu. The bindu represents the point of stillness. The triangles are arranged in a specific pattern, with the central triangle pointing downwards representing the feminine and the others pointing upwards representing the masculine.


The Sri Yantra is considered a symbol of the universe and the divine feminine energy or Shakti. Each of the nine triangles represents a different aspect of the cosmos, including the five elements (earth, water, fire, air, and ether), the sun and moon, and the cosmic powers of creation, preservation, and dissolution.


The Sri Yantra is often used in meditation and ritual practices to help the practitioner connect with the sacred feminine and achieve spiritual awakening. It is believed to have a powerful and transformative energy that can help to clear the mind, balance the chakras, and promote healing and well-being and atune one to the value of abundance.


By wearing the Sri Yantra one can invoke this energy within their physical being and in their daily life.

Healing with Gems: Gemstone of the Week Amethyst

Healing with Gems: Gemstone of the Week Amethyst

Amethyst

The beautiful violet stone, Amethyst, belongs to the quartz family. It is associated with the crown chakra for its color and connection on a spiritual level. This stone aids in achieving spiritual goals, becoming in tune with your inner self, and strengthens psychic abilities. It purifies the mind and can be used as a natural stress-reliever.

 

It is also a protective stone -- it is able to rid the body of unwanted feelings that may be caused by negative emotions. In order to observe its effects, it is best to place amethyst in a space that needs purification and the elimination of negative energy. It aids in good communication due to its sense of calming and confidence it provides. Amethyst also strengthens intuition, so placing this stone in an office or workspace will assist in tough decision-making and will relieve stress at work! When placed in a bedroom, insomnia can be resolved due to amethyst’s ability to calm and impose stillness.

 

In Greek, the word “amethyst” translates to “not drunken.” This is commonly used as evidence for its ability to break unhealthy addictions, like alcoholism and drug-abuse.  Amethyst’s nature is to dispel negative energy, mental and physical, and can be used in ways that promote physical health. For example, it has the ability to support the immune system in battles against sickness. By promoting a sense of tranquility and stillness, it is also a perfect meditation aid that assists in the calming of one’s thoughts.

 

If you need a stone that is going to assist in altering and balancing your spirituality, intuition, or state of consciousness, then amethyst is right for you! It is a spiritual helper that can be used to protect, heal, and aid in sleep and meditation. It brings a deeper sense of peace, wisdom, and heightened spirituality.

Join Us for an Evolutionary Yoga Event November 7-13 in India!

Join us for an evolutionary yoga event!

The word Sattva means truth, balance, wholeness. It is at the core of who we truly are. As individuals we strive to return to that space of wholeness. We become so immersed in the “busy”ness of our lives that we oftentimes loose contact who we are, as we are constantly moving and doing.


Disconnecting from the normal “routine” and taking a journey to a new place provides a great opportunity for evolution. Also, Offering the body the opportunity to slow down and harmonize with nature and return to “Sattva” or come to stillness is quite healing. In the stillness the inspiration flows.

Choosing India as a place to visit has been one that I hold immense gratitude for. It is here that I discover a deeper understanding of my truth. I first journeyed here in 2014 and now call it home. One of the things I enjoy most about spending my time in Rishikesh at Sattva is meeting yogis from all over the world. Having a Sangha, or “community” is so important when you are on this path. When we are together with one common intention to evolve it creates a powerful energy that can be life changing. Choosing to attend an event or gathering provides a great opportunity to connect with people you wouldn’t otherwise meet. As one of the teachers at The Sattva Summit, I look forward to sharing the teachings, tapping into joy and time together as a Sangha in this sacred land!
