Your soul yantra resonates with the core of your being and guides the leading edge of your path. 

An energtic transmission and a talisman, it attunes you immediately to the essence of who you are, and it transmits what is emerging for and through you. Everything else falls away and is transformed. Everything you create comes from you, and everything you seek comes to you, in this space of powerful resonance with You.

Your soul yantra holds the power of sacred transmission and transformation.

Your soul yantra works just like mantra: it transforms through vibration. Mantra transforms through sound frequency. Soul yantra transforms through color and spatial frequency.

I’m Rebecca Prien (Rama Devi), and this is my soul yantra. I use it to return again and again, no matter what is happening around me, to Who I Am.

When I began practicing mantra and learned that it is the “yoga of sound,” I asked my guru: Is there a yoga of color?” It had seemed to me, innately, that there must be. She was a prolific artist and would work with us through her art.

Years later, I asked her to teach me how to create sacred art like she did, to allow the divine to run through me into and out of my art, to create work that is a transmission in itself.  These soul yantra paintings are my answer.

Yoga is an experiential practice. Ma is an experiential teacher. She throws you into a practice and says, see how it goes. I am always being taught. My art is teaching me. Mantra is teaching me. The relationship between sound and form is teaching me. It is rich and full, wildly awe-inspiring and humbling–and I’m honored to offer it to you.

A yantra is a visual focal point of resonance with a specific form of divine energy. Traditionally, yantra uses geometric shapes, each with a specific energy pattern. Sacred geometry, mandalas, the star of David and the cross are examples of yantra.

Looser and more fluid and intuitive in form, your soul yantra is a visual focal point of resonance with the divine energy of You, immediately connecting your with your Higher Self. It may contain sacred geometry or symbology that is meaningful to you.  More likely, it will be an abstraction, with a prism of energetic qualities conveyed through color and composition. It transmits a feeling, a state of being, of recognition, aspiration and guidance.

The words and imagery that come through to guide these soul yantra astound me with their specificity. 

Your soul yantra opens you curiosity, trust and surrender.

Soul yantra paintings vary greatly. Each is unique and created through a sacred, personalized process of dialogue, meditation and puja (moving prayer).

I understand this asks a high level of trust and surrender of you. I believe that is part of the process and the gift you give to yourself through a soul yantra: to allow yourself to be seen and reflected in this way, openly and with curiosity.

And it begins the moment you commission it.

Commission clients experience profound shifts at the moment they invest in their soul yantra. (I never believed anyone when they claimed that about their work, but now I’m eating that judgment. The work is about you—your transformation is about you—not me. Me, the art, the commission, are just a catalyst. Something to push against and work with in the world. That is all—and that is everything.)

I create your soul yantra painting through a personalized process of dialogue, meditation and puja (moving prayer).

When you commission your painting, you immediately receive a set of self-reflective prompts by email. You are invited to share desires, intentions, tensions and photos of the space intended for the painting. All of this can be done by email; however, it is often helpful in discerning your vibration accurately to see and hear you via Skype.

I then bring your intentions into meditation, mantra and puja with me. I listen for disharmony and harmony. I listen for wisdom. Symbols or colors come into awareness. I make notes, and I let this all ruminate, until the painting reveals itself to me. I set out to create the painting with a vision for composition, color and feeling, but the process of creating is what shows me your soul yantra.

Soul yantra paintings are (most often) acrylic on stretched canvas, suitable for framing. They may also include gold or silver leaf, ink, ash, wax or watercolor.

Your soul yantra painting will be created and delivered in 1-3 months.

I create soul yantra paintings in order of commission. The time necessary for each painting depends upon its size and complexity and the demand or backlog for commissions. However, you can generally anticipate 1-3 months for creation and delivery.
