Nine Designs for Inner Peace: The Ultimate Guide to Meditating with Color, Shape, and Sound

I loved this book! I am familiar with Yantras and even work with some myself, but this took the experience to a whole new level. I am very impressed with the authors background and ability to integrate her experiences and knowledge and make something so usable in todays world. Thank you! I immediately started working on the first Yantra the day I got the book (after reading through - it's a pretty quick read). I had a true healing experience doing the work and I can't stop... I am on the Yantra making bandwagon, these are truely addictive!Normally Yantras seem a bit out of reach to the average person with their association with particular dieties, etc. But this book is practical - making yantras for qualities like - Intellect, Nourishment and Passion - things you want to integrate more fully into your life. She has also given very modern translations to mantras that really allow them to resonate in todays world.Thank you!!

Nine designs for Inner Peace has been a great start to working with the nine planets more. The explanation of the yantras are easy to understand, yet stimulating for the mind (and senses). It's worth purchasing the book just for the art of the Yantras alone. Ideal for any yogi who wants to learn more about the magic of Yantras. Sarah Tomlinson is an expert on the subject and we are so lucky to have this book to reference.

It's amazing book to learn about Yantras . Author has v well explained all aspects very well.

I’ve made about half the yantras in this book so far and it has been transformational. I understand Planetary powers in a whole new way. Sarah’s style is clear and extremely easy to understand, making this an accessible practice for anyone.

Clear and precise instructions on how to draw and paint. Lots of info about the yantra, most of it very esoteric and beyond necessary. She is very excited about her subject. She needs to simmer down and take a breath.The copy is is excellent condition. I would purchase from this again.

Using this book as a guide, I was able to figure out a yantra design that was not included in the book. What that means to me, is that it's a great tool even if the exact design you need is not included. The concepts are solid and can be built upon, or used as is to create beautiful and precise yantras.

I am loving my yantras. Sarah's instruction is really intuitive and just the right amount of information to get you going on the practice. I love this playful meditation, and I love this book.

I bought this to use with patients when teaching mindfulness to people without previous meditation experience. The designs are soothing and non-intimidating to those who are not artistic. A great tool for your practice.

From this book I have managed to draw and paint the Ganesha Yantra...and for that I am hugely grateful. Although it took time the instructions are clear to understand. I am not an artist in any way!The book may not go into the history and depth of yantras but there are many books out there that will give you that detail.I wanted this book to help me get to grips with drawing on my own...although my friend and I did it together.Would recommend to anyone new to yantras and wanting to have a go.

I simply loves this book for the easy instructions on how to draw yantras yourself. The book contains basic knowledge on the topic and instruction of meditation on yantras as well. If you just want to learn how to construct yantras, this the book you have been searching for!

therapeutic and enlightening

I love this book! It is amazingly simple. Really it felt as if Sarah was right beside me and guiding me step by step to do my chosen Yantra. The experience was exactly what I needed, an active meditation process. I am addicted to the Yantra and just can’t wait to do more. The book is also educational and I go back to selected sections when needed to familiarize with the knowledge of the planet’s archetype. I recommend that book to anyone who wants to do something creative with a structure. To bring colors and forms with knowledge as a tool to connect to one’s spiritual nature was a mostly enjoyable experience for me. This book offers endless hours of creativity through drawing, forms, colors in a sacred spaced created by the process.

Will open new doors of understanding our existence
