Introduction to working with Yantra: Bhuvaneshwari — with Sarah Tomlinson

“Sarah teaches with a graceful simplicity that brings light to this ancient practice.” - Krishna Das

Join Sarah Tomlinson, an internationally acclaimed Yantra teacher and practitioner, for a special online event of mindful colouring of the Bhuvaneshwari Yantra. This Yantra ignites creativity and endless possibilities in the mind and heart of the devotee. Come prepared to dive into the process and hear all about the boons of the Goddess Bhuvaneshvari that will be bestowed upon you as you work with this Yantra.

During this online workshop, Sarah will introduce the concept of Yantras and how to work with them, followed by a meditative session of colouring the Bhuvaneshwari Yantra.

We will create the Bhuvaneshwari Yantra to connect with :

• the ancient wisdom of Yantras
• nurturing our feminine aspects
• our creativity
• our sense of fun and joy
• community
• our place in the universe

The colouring session will also include the use of Mantra (a special phrase or syllable used for meditation, healing and personal growth).

More about Yantras:

Yantras are geometric symbols that contain the specific energy of a planet or deity. Each Yantra imparts a healing energy that you can harness in your life. Yantras come from Northern India around 2,000BC. They are from the tradition of Tantra which gave rise to Mantras (audible sounds used for healing) and Yantras; their visual counterpart.

Working with Yantras connects you with these ancient teachings in a way that provides great healing in today's world. Yantras remind us of the places in ourselves we have forgotten, like our greatness, our capacity to love, our strength, or effortless abundance, and they mirror back to us their positive qualities, thus we are whole again. Healing = Wholeness.
