author:  Sarah Tomlinson 
description: &#8220;<I>Nine Designs for Inner Peace</I> is a practical guide to the ancient tantric art of Yantra painting and Yantra meditation, leaving no detail aside. Shining through in every aspect of the book, one finds the deep inner peace promised as a result of this yoga practice.&#8221; (<i>Peter Marchand, author of The Yoga of Truth and The Yoga of the Nine Emotions</i>)<br /><br />&#8220;This masterful guide is a work of warmth, inspiration, and beauty. A brilliant teaching for the artist, yogi, or seeker, it reveals ancient, mystical elements of sacred geometry as meditative tools and powerful connections to the Divine.&#8221; (<i>Danny Paradise, international ashtanga yoga instructor</i>)<br /><br />"Forget Sudoku, <I>Nine Designs for Inner Peace</I> provides templates, instructions, and background information on nine ancient yantras that correspond to the mind-body-spirit states essential to well-being . . . Tomlinson's step-by-step directions make the process simple." (<i>New Age Retailer, Jan 2008</i>)<br /><br />"Even if you aren't looking for another method to find inner peace, you'll get addicted to making <I>yantras</I> and decorating your walls with them." (<i>Elizabeth Stannard Gromisch, Feminist Review, Feb 2008</i>)<br /><br />" . . . Sarah has produced a superb book which contains easy-to-follow instructions for creating exquisite planetary yantras to access their healing and centering benefits." (<i>Yoga Magazine, Jan 2008</i>)<br /><br />"Yantras, geometrical diagrams used in tantric meditation, are a mystery to most Western yoga practitioners--which makes this delightful and unusual book even more intriguing. . . . Beautifully illustrated with an inviting layout, this practical workbook is an inspiration to the creative divine spirit in all of us." (<i>Ruth Jones, Yoga +, May/June 08</i>)
