Mandalas

Mandalas are a sacred art for healing


"Drawing or creating a Mandala (a Sanskrit word meaning sacred circle) is a meditative art which reflects our consciousness through symbolic patterns- making our inner spiritual essence visible. In religious and psychotherapeutic traditions worldwide, mandalas are created to help the process of wholeness, healing and spiritual transformation."
- Judith Cornell, Ph.D

Mandala art is a spiritual discipline.

It connects healing of the heart with mind and body. The process promotes personal growth and intuition. My mandala-yoga workshops activate the body, mind, and heart to allow transformative power of symbols and feelings to be experienced. In this way mandala art is revelation. I focus on traditional mandala techniques with yogic breath, movement, and meditation. I have received mandala facilitation training from Judith Cornell, founder/director, Mandala facilitation trainings. I use Dr. Cornell's books, Mandala: Luminous Symbols for Healing and Mandala Healing kit.

The Mission of Mandala-Lotus:

Mandala-Lotus concerns itself with healing and creativity. The purpose of mandala-lotus workshops is based on the "five keys of successful heartstreaming" as described by David Lewis and Michael McNeil, co-founders of The Hearts Center:

  • Goodwill
  • Surrender
  • Harmony
  • Faith, trust the process
  • Heart-Centered practice

Creativity, healing and hope regained are benefits of the mandala-yoga process.
