At Goddess Retreats, I have witnessed how women arrive seeking clarity, renewal, and a sense of direction. Among the many healing paths we offer, one of the most deeply insightful choices that I love is Yantra Healing, available on our Healing Goddess Retreats.
This is a practice that many women love to choose because it feels like receiving a map of the soul, a way of understanding not only where you are now, but also the larger cycles shaping your journey.
What is Yantra Healing?
Yantra Healing draws from ancient wisdom traditions that weave together sacred geometry, numerology, and Dharma Marga. The soul’s pathway of purpose.
From your birth numbers, a personal yantra is revealed. This yantra is like a spiritual fingerprint, highlighting your natural strengths, challenges, and the lessons you are here to learn. It shows you that life is not a string of disconnected events, but a rhythm that flows in cycles, much like the seasons, the moon, and the tides.
How to Find Your Dharma Marga?
Your primary Dharma Marga number is found by adding together the numbers in your full date of birth until you arrive at a single digit between 1 and 9. This number reflects your soul’s core pathway, the main dharma you are here to walk in this lifetime.
Example:
- Birthdate: 14 March 1982
- Add: 1 + 4 + 3 + 1 + 9 + 8 + 2 = 28
- Reduce: 2 + 8 = 10 → 1 + 0 = 1
This person’s Dharma Marga is 1 —The Leader.
.
The Nine Dharma Margas
Once you calculate your number, you can see which of the nine Dharma Margas reflects your path:
The Humanitarian — serving the greater good, dedicating energy to collective causes and community.
The Leader — called to step forward with vision, direction, and responsibility.
The Nurturer — focused on relationships, family, and creating harmony through care.
The Creator — guided by inspiration and artistry, bringing new ideas and beauty into the world.
The Builder — grounded in discipline, stability, and the creation of strong foundations.
The Seeker — drawn to explore, travel, and search for deeper truths.
The Healer — devoted to service, restoring balance, and caring for health and wholeness.
The Mystic — attuned to the spiritual realm, cultivating intuition and inner wisdom.
The Teacher — sharing knowledge, guiding others, and mentoring through lived experience.
These dharmas are not fixed. We move through them in cycles, returning to familiar ones with new awareness, each time learning at a deeper level.
Life Cycles in Practice
Just as nature moves through its seasons, so too do we. Yantra Healing teaches that we move through nine-year cycles, each year resonating with one of the Dharma Margas.
- Birthdate: 14 March + Current Year 2025
- Add: 1 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 17 → 1 + 7 = 8
- In 2025, this person would be in an 8 year — The Teacher cycle.
To find your personal year cycle, add your day and month of birth to the digits of the current year:
Example:
- In a Builder year (4), you may feel called to create structure, commit to long-term goals, or invest in stability.
- In a Seeker year (5), you may feel restless, drawn to travel or try new experiences.
- In a Healer year (6), you may find yourself tending to health, relationships, and emotional well-being.
Understanding your personal cycle helps you recognize challenges as initiations, rather than obstacles. Each moment becomes part of a greater rhythm guiding you toward growth.
The Spiral Path of Growth
In yogic philosophy, life is often described as a spiral journey. We circle back to familiar themes, but never in the exact same way. Each time we return, we bring new wisdom, deeper compassion, and a clearer sense of self.
Yantra Healing offers a way to see your life in this spiral pattern. It reminds you that repetition is not failure, but refinement. Every cycle is an invitation to grow more fully into the woman you are becoming.
A Reflection for You
As you explore the Dharma Margas, take a quiet moment to journal with these questions:
- Which Dharma Marga aligns with my birth number?
- What themes or lessons seem to be repeating in my life?
- How can I align more gracefully with this present cycle, instead of resisting it?
Through reflection, you may notice that what once felt heavy suddenly carries meaning. You may see that you are not behind or off track, you are exactly where you need to be.
Yantra Healing at Goddess Retreats
On our Healing Goddess Retreats, Yantra Healing is offered as one of the choices in your journey. Many women find it to be a profound experience that frames their past, illuminates the present, and offers clarity for the future.
With a reading guided by a fully trained Yantric numerologist, you are given a comprehensive chart that explores the cycles within cycles, from your birth number (primary Dharma Marga) to your secondary numbers, and even the yearly and monthly patterns that flow within one another. This in-depth perspective helps you understand the larger rhythm of your life while also bringing insight into the present moment.
It is a reminder that within the cycles of life, there is always wisdom. And within you, there is already everything you need.
