Everyone's Mandala Coloring Books
Mandala
is a Sanskrit word meaning center and circle. It conveys the
notion that any center is tied to its circumference and any circumference
is always determined by its center. Together they represent wholeness.
Examples of
mandalas abound in nature. Every cell in our body, for instance,
is a living mandala. So is the iris of our eye, a snow crystal, a bird's nest,
a bicycle wheel, and Planet Earth herself.
Mandalas have been
known to all cultures throughout history. Individual designs vary
greatly but they always have the following characteristics: a center, cardinal
points
that can be contained in a circle, and usually some form of symmetry. They can
be
very simple or extremely complex as in ancient Tibetan religious designs, Navajo
sand paintings, and huge stained glass windows in medieval cathedrals.
Traditionally,
mandalas have been used by spiritual leaders, shamans, and healers
as a source of wisdom, a form of meditation, and to reflect the dynamic unity of
the universe. Coloring these timeless images can 'help us
become more
focused when we feel scattered and more peaceful when we
are struggling
with personal issues.' They can awaken the playful child in
each of us,
and aid us in bringing to the surface 'messages from the
unconscious,
like bubbles that have been trapped at the bottom of
the lake and
are finally released.'
