Yantra
Yantra, or sacred geometry, in an ancient art which changes the vibrations around us. Combining yantra with mantra leads to elevation of consciousness.
The Kali Yantra is sacred as a geometrical shape that holds an honorable space for each of these 24 elemental goddess energies. Thus, these petals and points of the Kali yantra hold the energy of the 24 goddess-related elements of Prakriti, the cosmic female principle.
Silently call forth on the regenerative power of Kali, which has the power to transform the deepest suffering into the deepest bliss and wareness. Close your eyes now, but let the image of the yantra remain with you. Chant the sacred breath of Ma Kali, "sa'ham," and stay relaxed and peaceful.
