Every shape of a Yantra means a very specific, beneficial and harmonious energy pattern that is used in meditation.

There is a belief that the concentric figures gradually grow away from the center, which signifies the route and way of macrocosmic evolution. When they gradually grow towards the center, it’s a symbol of microcosmic involution. It’s a gradual movement from unity to multiplicity and again back to unity.
