Book Subtitle | A Creative Guide For Self-Exploration,Balance,And Well Being |
Book Description | From time immemorial, the mandala has been an expression of inner reality--for individuals, groups, and whole cultures. When you draw or paint a mandala of your own, you're making a portrait of your unconscious at a particular moment in your life, which when carefully regarded, can provide astonishing insights into your own deepest truth. The Mandala Workbook offers a complete guide to mandala work, based on the Great Round--the twelve archetypal stages that represent a complete cycle of personal growth. Each stage offers a new way to connect with yourself and to discover the transformative powers of the mandala. Explore a full range of activities throughout the book and for each stage--including coloring, drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, and more--in this engaging and hands-on guide. You'll have fun doing it--and you may discover things about yourself that will surprise you. |
