Sri Yantra Experience, Link to geometric instructions within... Options

So, at the moment i'm going through an extended silent meditation, from the previous full moon to this coming full moon, which will be an eclipse. It's something I do once in a while to conserve energy.

Well, this time around I decided to start off on a good foot, and since lately i've been running into the term 'yantra' constantly - we all know what a yantra is? - I went looking for one that was sort of catch-all like I normally do with symbols of this nature.

Well, I found the Sri Yantra, the yantra from which all others are ultimately derived. It represents the Shiva and Shakti principles intertwined in the play that creates evolution.

instructions for building the yantra here: Sri Yantra

I am painting it on my wall, I've just now finished drawing it, in the prescribed order according to this site, and I cannot believe the amount of energy it took to produce this symbol. I've done murals on my walls since my first apartment, I'll spend all day and then be generally, somewhat wired afterwards, but I worked on just the drawing aspect of this yantra for six hours, and immediately the energy in my room has become totally different - even the wards that form my little containment bubble (everyone who has been in here, mundane or otherwise, says it's like walking into a different reality for no apparent reason) of energy have taken on a new sort of resonance since the beginning of the process.

This is a powerful symbol, I haven't even connected to it deeply, and while I was litterally wired like a madman when I was drawing it, as soon as it was done I nearly passed out from exhaustion!

I reccommend drawing this on a piece of posterboard as a sort of meditation to anyone, I can't even describe the subtle change that has overcome my psyche since the beginning. Maybe nothing new to those long dedicated to an eastern, especially hindu or buddhist tradition, but for anyone who isn't familiar with this stuff, here's my own testimony.

I'll take a picture and post it when it's finished. On that note, i'm buying paints tomorrow (well, today, really, EST) anyone have any suggestions to particularly good colors for this yantra, those who are familiar? I was thinking purple for evolution and spiritual energy, yellow for enlightenment and illumination, red on the interior petals (mostly since I always see them done in red, but for electrical principle as well), but can't think of a good idea for the exterior petals. Also, any thoughts on a good background color? This thing takes up one entire wall, the southern one cause it was biggest, and i'm trying to work a combination tasteful decor + effective color correspondence.

peace

Greetings young one.The Sri Yantra is one of the most powerful forces in the world of sorcery.I have used it for the last forty years and am still uncovering many things behind it.I do however reccomend caution while using it as people have known to go crazy meditating on it.This is because of a powerful occult secret within it.

I have researched many ancient manuscripts that i had the blessing to see from many private collections throoughtout the temples in the area surrounding the himalayas and conversed and learnt from quite a few of the masters there.

Firstly,the Sri Yantra is a powerful doorway throughout every plane of existence and you can if you put your mind to it,travel every one of these planes through the yantra.However if not used properly,any entity can also travel from any of these planes directly to yours.There is actually a crazy plane where the entities known as "the watchers" that i had accidentaly come across in my travels though the yantra.People who have worked with the Necronomicon may be familiar with these entities.

More importantly than that however is the reason of the yantras construction.if you notice the top half of the yantra are the male upward pointing triangles(shiva) while the bottom half traingles are feminine triangles(shakti).If you know anything about the Shakti and tantra concept which is Dark hinduism you will realize the reason why many have perished when they have gone down the tantra way.The bottom half of the sri yantra si actually the planes of the Qlippoth of the sacred kabalah while the top part(shiva) is the planes of Sephiroth.

You might unknowingly lead into your life the essence of the Qlippoth which may on one hand be life changing,but if you arent ready for it,devastating to say the least.

I would urge you to throughly cleanse the essences within the yantra and bring forth only the Sephiroth for the beginning so that you always work with the more beneficial aspects of the yantra early on.God bless.
