A complete guide to creating planetary yantras to access their healing and centering benefits • Provides easy-to-follow instructions to create the yantras • Serves as an introduction to active meditation, which focuses the mind while the body is engaged in a meditative activity The tantric art of drawing or painting the nine designs known as yantras is an ancient practice of active meditation that releases positive healing and centering effects. Each of the nine designs corresponds to one of the nine qualities of body and mind essential to well-being: radiance, nourishment, passion, intellect, expansion, bliss, organization, uniqueness, and spirituality. From the basic elements of the square, the circle, and the triangle, dynamic visual meditations unfold as the practitioner works clockwise from the outer elements inward toward the central point of stillness, or bindu, the source of happiness within. An accompanying mantra is recited while preparing each yantra to fully engage the senses in the meditative process. Creating the design that “speaks” most to the practitioner enables its unique healing quality to be transmitted. For example, working on the yantra named “Radiance” cultivates optimism and the self-confidence to succeed in one’s endeavors, while “radiating,” or imparting, one’s inner light to others. This workbook provides an important resource for active meditation, a practice revered for its effectiveness in revealing the spiritual underpinnings of everyday life. The active participation of the body in meditation while creating the nine planetary yantras raises to the level of spiritual ritual the practitioner’s intention toward wakefulness and gives access to profound states of healing integration.

Introduction In a world filled with distractions, it is easy to lose sight of the serenity that lies within us. For centuries, ancient cultures have sought ways to quiet the mind, focus the spirit, and channel energy toward healing and personal growth. Two such powerful practices are the creation of mandalas and the chanting of mantras. These are not mere artistic or vocal exercises but deep, spiritual practices that transcend the boundaries of time and culture. When combined, the act of coloring mandalas while singing mantras becomes an incredible tool for personal transformation. Mandalas have long been revered in various cultures, especially within the spiritual traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism. These intricate, geometric designs symbolize the universe and the interconnectedness of life. Their repetitive patterns guide the mind into a meditative state, where thought dissolves, and the spirit can roam freely. To engage with a mandala is to embark on a journey into the self, a journey where creativity meets contemplation. On the other hand, mantras, sacred chants believed to carry vibrational power, have been used for millennia to quiet the mind and bring about spiritual awakening. The word “mantra” itself comes from two Sanskrit words: “man,” meaning mind, and “tra,” meaning tool. A mantra is a tool for guiding the mind, anchoring it amidst the chaos of everyday life, and helping individuals reconnect with their inner peace. But what happens when these two ancient practices are fused into one? Coloring mandalas while chanting mantras creates a powerful synergy, a complete experience that engages the mind, body, and spirit. While the hands move rhythmically across the page, choosing colors and filling spaces, the vocal cords vibrate with the resonant sound of the mantra, tuning the mind to a higher state of consciousness. This dual focus heightens the meditative experience, allowing individuals to reach deeper levels of mindfulness and self-awareness. The practice of mindful coloring has gained popularity in recent years as a means to reduce stress and promote relaxation. While many enjoy coloring as a form of creative expression, adding the intentional chanting of mantras deepens the experience. The vibration of the sound works harmoniously with the colors and patterns to guide energy and focus toward specific areas of emotional or physical healing. In this book, you will embark on a step-by-step journey to understand the intricate connection between mandalas and mantras, explore their individual and combined benefits, and learn how to incorporate these practices into your daily life. Each chapter will offer insight into the history, philosophy, and practical techniques of both practices. You will learn how to select mandalas that resonate with your current state of mind, how to find the mantra that speaks to your soul, and how to merge the two in a practice that is uniquely your own. By the time you finish this book, you will not only be more in tune with yourself but also equipped with the tools to bring balance and harmony into your everyday life. Whether you are new to coloring, mantras, or meditation, or a seasoned practitioner looking to deepen your spiritual practice, this book will guide you toward a more mindful, creative, and peaceful existence. Let the journey begin.
