brief Introduction about Dhyan Yantra

Entering a State of Meditation Through the dhyan yantra frame

by Greg Gore “Vice President of Praxis International, Inc

Meditation exercises through dhyan yantra picture are an excellent way to enter the alpha/theta state in which you become totally relaxed. Moreover, reported physical benefits include lowering your blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing rate while also stimulating endorphins to produce a tremendous feeling of well-being, refreshment and renewal.

Wanting to experience these mental and physical benefits myself, I have attended meditation workshops, viewed

videotapes, and listened to audiotapes. Most of the programs I have encountered emphasized sitting in a quiet posture and letting sounds, emotions, and thoughts come and go until you gradually become less and less aware of your surroundings and your physical body. The goal is to enter the alpha/theta brainwave frequencies whereby you are in a “hypnagogic” state, i.e., the state between

wakefulness and sleep.

As an aid to striking the optimum balance between wakefulness and sleep, many meditation programs

recommend that you focus on your breathing, and often suggest that you simply count your breaths. Entering a meditative state using these techniques is no easy task.

I have found an easier way to enter the meditative state. That way is with the use of Dhyan yantra picture.
