The planets have been observed for thousands of years and watched how they manipulate the human spirit. Astrology has cognized that the energy of the planets affects our lives and understood the energy can be directed to improve our physical, mental and spiritual well-being.
Mandalas, sacred spherical energy patterns reflect our inner nature. Using the Vedic Square, 9 x 9 table, an ancient number grid, an infinite number of patterns are created based on numbers associated with the planets. By working with specific colors and mantras, this meditative drawing and painting practice will connect us to the deeper energies of the planets. An overview of Indian numerology will offer an appreciation of the qualities of the planets and how the numbers and planets have an influence on us.

The Secrets of Mantra and Yantra
Ganesh: Lord of the People, Remover of Obstacles
Is Meditation difficult for you? Do you find it hard to keep the mind focused? Want to awaken renewed energy of life?
Learn the secrets of a living tradition as we explore mantra (sacred sound) and yantra (visual patterns aiding meditation) to awaken our innate intelligence & inner power. In this workshop, we will be exploring
methods of concentration, meditation, & breath as we invoke the remover of obstacles, Lord Ganesh. His mantra will be taught as we move in asana, to help us tune into the symbolic meaning & feeling created by sacred sound. Then using the art of mandala, or sacred patterns, we will direct & awaken inner focus, accessing our inherent power. Finally, central channel breathing (Bhuta Suddhi) will ground us to integrate & strengthen what we've learned, giving our practice meaning and direction.
This class includes a visual presentation, and a practice.
No experience necessary.
