WHEN YOU WORK with these symbols, draw them in whatever way is the most comfortable for you. There is no “wrong” way to draw them, so I will not give any drawing directions. They can also be simply visualized or imagined and then “sent” to wherever they are needed. Saying the name alone as a mantra works as well. Intent is the most important factor here. Also remember that you can work with Amara without using any symbols at all. There are no set rules or limits. The symbols can simply help one to better attune themselves to Amara, giving the person a more tangible connection to the energies and consciousness. The connection is always there but for some people symbols help to experience the connection stronger.

Each symbol discussed here is very fluid, constantly moving, revolving and evolving. The images shown below are more like snapshots of the symbols’ core essences so to speak. Each symbol rotates and as you apply them, it is recommended that you also intend them to rotate. The direction of the rotation does not usually matter as they actually rotate in all directions at once. They are not three-dimensional.

Quite a few Amara symbols have very similar properties with each other. The unification of polarities seems to be a re-occurring theme. It is good to remember that the symbols are multidimensional, which means they work in many different layers of our psyches. They all work in slightly different levels of being so to speak. Another common theme seems to be the serpent. It has been a symbol of wisdom, eternity, healing, mystery, magical power, and holiness throughout most of the ancient non-western world and this
is what it seems to be symbolizing in Amara as well.

AMARA CAN BE SEEN as the core symbol of the whole system. It facilitates the remembrance of our divinity and assists us to better ground it into form, into our physical reality. This symbol creates a strong current that moves along the spine/central light column, clearing and aligning it and the energy centers (chakras) connected by it. The triangle and the circle are part of the same structure so they are not really separate elements, even though they can be seen rotating in opposite directions. The whole symbol can be seen as a constantly moving crystalline hologram. The energies have a strong connection to Lemuria and the goddess Amara.

I recommend drawing the triangle in the heart center setting it to rotate anti-clockwise and then drawing the circle on top of it, spinning it clockwise. If you feel inclined to do it the other way around, feel free to do so. For me, envisioning the vortex in the image seems to help create a stronger influx of the energy.

January's symbol is Ja-Keiou Keiou-Ma

Ja-Keiou Keiou-Ma

THE MAIN “S”-shape symbolizes the energies of the water dragon. The two wavy lines represent flow, balance, harmony and peace. Ja-Keiou-Ma is a multidimensional key to many different conscious energy streams and aspects of the divine. It has an opening effect on one’s energy flow and it clears/opens the necessary channels so that one is able to hold a stronger influx of these energies. The symbol’s essence is formless, yet it can be expressed as a symbol. It holds the space between form so to speak, thus having all potential expressions of form encoded in it.

Ja-Keiou-Ma seems to have a connection with the Nagas. In Hindu mythology they are snake-like beings living in the underworlds. They possessed great magic and power and were able to shape shift. Nagas are the protectors of springs, wells and rivers. In the myths of Malay mariners, Nagas appear as many-headed dragons. On Java and Thailand, the Naga is a mythical serpent or dragon, a serpent-god, a ruler of the netherworld who possesses immense wealth. In the esoteric tradition Naga is synonymous for “adept” or “initiate”. In India and Egypt, and even in Central and South America, the Naga stands for one who is wise.

As you draw the symbol, you can visualize it rotating and forming the ever-flowing pattern shown in the image below. I recommend drawing it in the heart chakra or thymus. You can also draw it over the whole body imagining the center of the vortex anchoring itself to the heart.
