Mandala Coloring

Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
MANDALA COLORING 50 magic mandalas to color for all ages with multiple benefits: relaxation, concentration, cure of diseases, psychological regeneration, meditation, order and harmony. The mandala is an instrument capable of influencing the general welfare of a person thanks to its ancient and welcoming circular shape. It is an artistic expression, but at the same time, a powerful means of psychological regeneration and for this reason is used in meditation and traditional medicines where the state of good health of a person is measured with the general welfare that depends on balance. of mind, body and spirit.Its circular shape and the presence of a center (to reach or from where to start) are the symbol of the presence of man in the universe. And the mandala offers everyone the possibility of putting order and harmony in this illustration of the cosmos according to their own personal vision. It stimulates creativity and releases positive energies that beneficially influence the psyche of the person. It has been observed on several occasions that during the coloring of a mandala the atmosphere relaxes and the concentration increases naturally and effortlessly. The action of coloring each part of the Mandala is the main activity with which each can be measured without preconceptions and without anxiety. And this aspect makes the mandala an educational tool very useful even in schools, especially where there are students who suffer from concentration disorders.The practice of the mandala has ancient roots and can be done by anyone with great benefit. Because it moves deep energies, it is necessary to respect certain rituals and have the awareness of not being a psychotherapist. The mandala has a universal value and can be interpreted in as many ways as people, personal stories, moods and emotional experiences ... but the best are ourselves.Before starting to dye, it is not necessary to organize a vigil like that of the Tibetan monks, or even to plan a healing ceremony like the Navajos (it usually lasts nine nights and we run the risk of putting our nervous neighbors with lullabies and incense). !) but by observing these rites, some suggestions and some principles can be inherited and reworked to adapt them to our present.Submerging ourselves in the mandala allows us to rediscover the primordial union with nature and with the elements that make it up, which are part of our being and which we often complain about having lost in our daily lives.There is no single technique: deep breathing, yoga, closing your eyes or reciting a mantra are equally valid. The purpose is to separate us for a few moments from the radiant and incessant rational activity and enter the space of the soul. Once this has been done, we will give the go-ahead for the trip in the mandala that will be colored as we see fit and with the techniques we want without limits and without restrictions for our creativity and imagination.The mandala does not lie. Let your instinct flow and your activity be pleasant, do not look for perfection because every mandala in itself is perfect if done with authenticity. Do not insist with a color if you feel a certain discomfort and if this happens, ask yourself why, but it will please your creativity and it will be much more serene and fun. Because the Mandala is also a game.
