Through this conversation, listeners are invited into the rich, intricate world of sacred Yogic arts and the deeper meaning behind these practices.     They discuss… The profound relationship between Yantra, numerology, and the energies of the planets, exploring how specific shapes, colors, and numbers influence one's life and spiritual journey. Melissa's background in sacred geometry and her teachings on how constructing Yantras can help align an individual's energy with cosmic forces. The influence of Melissa's teacher, Harish Johari, and the tradition of integrating chanting, numerology, and sacred geometry into the spiritual practice. Insights into the powerful energy of certain colors and planets, such as working with green and emerald to harness the healing energy of Mercury. The importance of natural movement and geometry in understanding the true essence of Yoga beyond its physical form.     Favorite Phrases: "The study of the macrocosm via the microcosm. Tantra offers a holistic approach to the universe through the lens of the individual." "The energy of the Yantras is all about alignment—through sound, color, and shape, we can tap into the deeper forces of the cosmos." "Working with a spiral in sacred geometry mirrors nature's own patterns; it's a theme that's as universal as the DNA in our bodies or the form of a fern unfurling."     Resources Mentioned: Books by Harish Johari: Numerology, Tantra, Ayurveda: https://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Harish-Johari/410046710 https://melissaforbes.art/retreats You are invited to join Melissa on her Sacred Geometry luxury retreat in India, January 2025.

A special edition of the Heart of Yoga podcast as Melissa Forbes speaks about her life as an artist and Yoga practitioner and her friendship with UG Krishnamurti. How do we describe him? It's difficult, but with love and gratitude, delight and humour, Melissa and Mark reminisce about their unusual friend - Melissa travelled with UG for the last five years of his life as his companion and “balance.” She speaks about the power of art to help people use their right brain instead of the dominant left-brain, her obsession with spirals as the form of the cosmos and UGs resolution of this, and how he changed her Yoga from strenuous Astanga style to fluid participation in the spirals.
