Download PDF – Class One: Beginning Your Mandala Practice

---

We create mandalas for quiet, restorative relaxation. We create mandalas to release tension and anxiety.  We create mandalas to express our joys and sorrows.  We create mandalas when we have lost our way.  We create mandalas to gather strength and wisdom for the next step in our journey.

Responding

Take some time this week to notice some commonplace, every day mandalas.  Snap a few photos, print them out and tape them in your journal.  Or maybe you’d like to sketch them in your journal or simply make a list of what you noticed.

What drew you to the mandalas you noticed?

Did you sense any themes in what you noticed?  If so what there they?
