Wise Words
"...Only
gradually did I discover
what the mandala really is:
'Formation, Transformation, Eternal Mind's eternal creation"
(Faust, II). And that is the self, the wholeness of the
personality, which if all goes well is harmonious, but which
cannot tolerate self-deceptions." C.G. Jung "The mandala has served to center me and remind me of the things I love and hold dear and as 'silly' as it may seem...reminds me 'WHO' I am." Trisha M. "Have I mentioned how much I love my mandala? It's so beautiful and powerful - a word that came up for me today while writing in my journal. It has so much going on, but it is so well balanced and the polarity of it gives it that strength. Best of all... all that the mandala represents IS ME. So, it helps me think of myself in a more powerful and balanced way than I ever did before." Jamie A. "It was a very powerful experience just to receive the mandala. And the journaling was enlightening." Johnann M. "Just looking at my mandala brought me peace." Amy S.
"Thank you so
much for taking me on this journey. I will use this meditation every
day. I am
a joyful optimist. My spirit is strong and free and brave.I seek, laugh and
stand tall.I fight for what I want and believe in." Natalie L.

Mandala Art
Mandala is the Sanskrit word for circle, however, a mandala is far more than a simple shape. In various spiritual traditions, mandalas have been used to focus the attention of spiritual seekers; as a teaching tool; for establishing a sacred space; and as an aid to meditation and trance induction. The creation of your mandala is a transformative process. You work to uncover the images that resonate within you as positive expressions of life itself. These images, when viewed, will help you enter into a state of appreciation and gratitude. [For more examples of these images, please scroll to end of page.] The process begins by answering a series of questions designed to reveal your own inner symbols. I will then create a one-of-a kind mandala depicting your images in paint and collage. After receiving your image, your journey of exploration continues as you meditate, reflect and journal on these images. This process includes questions for inner reflection, a discussion of the meaning of the images throughout time and diverse cultures, and an intuitive mythic interpretation of the mandala by the artist. Also available is a self-hypnosis CD-ROM which uses your symbols within a guided imagery meditation. Standard size mandalas (anything up to
11" x 14") cost $375.00. This includes the custom art (with up to 10
symbols), and materials describing the journaling process, each symbol's meaning within different cultures, and
the artist's interpretation. For an additional $25.00, you can receive
a customized guided imagery meditation on CD-ROM. This meditation will
allow you to use your own images to facilitate a state of appreciation, love
and gratitude.
Larger works (up to 24" x 30") and 5 more symbols may be provided for an additional
charge. The exact size of your work is selected by the artist as part
of the creative process based on
the images to be used in your painting. Mandalas are usually created
within six weeks of purchase.
Each mandala is an individual work of art based on your own unique symbols. See the examples below for the wide range of styles represented in meditation mandalas.
