Sri Yantra means “the most honored yantra.” It is thousands of years old. The Sri Yantra graphs the harmonizing of all energy that eventually occurs throughout creation. A “yantra” graphs energy as it moves through its own field, or merkaba. Yantras are often incorporated into mandalas. “Mandala” means circle, in Sanskrit. So when a yantra is created into a schematic of the universe, it is also a mandala. The Sri Yantra, as shown here, is both a yantra and a mandala.
The Sri Yantra is so highly revered because it accurately depicts the process by which, when spirit emerges from source (the central point) and descends into matter (three downward facing triangles – symbolic of matter or the feminine creation), eventually it self-corrects and sends up an ascending triangle (a symbol for spirit, or the masculine aspect of the universe). While initially these triangles are not equilateral, and hence move back and forth between the two energies, they finally each become equilateral and order is restored in the universe

When you are undertaking a new project, or are trying to figure out why the energy of a project is not working well, the Sri Yantra is your greatest friend! It helps you to stay focused, in balance, and to avoid the pitfalls of any project.
