According to Shastras, Yantras are divided into Seven types which are used accordingly.

Yantra Meditation
Hang the YANTRA on a wall facing North or East, placing the centre of the YANTRA at the level of your eyes.
Adopt your favourite posture or, if you want, sit on a chair maintaining your spine straight.
Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth, but do not force at all, just let the breath flow normally.
Look into the centre of the YANTRA, trying to blink as rarely as possible; you don't want to look at the particular details of the YANTRA, just keep your sight right in the centre and observe the whole YANTRA at once.
This exercise should last at least 15-30 minutes every day; the experience will be indescribable.
In time, after at least seven days of YANTRA meditation you will be able to tap into the same yantric energy even without a YANTRA (at the beginning you may fix your sight on an exterior or imaginary point or evoke the YANTRA with your eyes closed)
Do not forget to consecrate the fruits of this practice to God (karma yoga); you should not chase any objective when doing YANTRA meditation, just let it gradually guide you towards the sublime energies of the MACROCOSMOS.
When executing this technique it is recommended that we maintain a state of aspiration and intense longing for experiencing the beatific energies of the consciousness.
In superior phases, the YANTRA absorbs the practitioner's complete attention, and he can no longer tell if the YANTRA is within himself or if he is within the YANTRA; this is the state of non-duality.
