Color Your Yantra

Venus: Bliss

PRACTICE // MEDITATION

Yantras are representations of different

qualities we wish to cultivate in our lives.

Coloring a yantra is a contemplative form

of meditation. The Venus yantra represents

Bliss and as an archetype it relates to the

planet Venus. It is artistic, feminine, and

romantic. Coloring or meditating on this

yantra connects you to your heart center

through love, beauty, and the arts. It’s an

excellent choice if you feel a need to recon-

nect with the sensuous aspects of your life.

Meditation on this yantra transports you

into a blissful state. Some of the traditional

colors you can use for this yantra include

a diamond-like spectrum: shades of white,

pink, blue, silver, and gold.
