1. INTRO

My name is Monika, I am an arGst, author, spiritual coach and I have been working with Mandalas for many years.

I came across the tradiGon of Mandala while studying Asian art at the university and I have been inspired by it ever since.

I moved to a more creaGve and personal approach to reflect and explore its representaGon and symbolism. I have studied Colour therapy and I oVen refer to the chakras to find a balance through the colours.

I now implement the mindful power of Mandala as an arGst and coach and I deliver courses and vision workshops on “empower with Mandala”.

Specifically, people can experience art and creaGve exercises using Mandala in the Dream Builder program I teach, which it will give the opportunity to go on a journey of self-‐discovery. The mandala you create will reinforce and help you during your program giving the opportunity to explore and work on your goals with clarity.

3. MANDALA COLOURING EXERCISE


Use the template provided to start your journey with Mandala. (you can use coloured pencils, pastels or pens).

Find a sacred space or a place when you can be yourself completely and have a powerful experience with colours.

Set an intenGon before colouring and work from the centre outward.

I want you to connect with the colours the way you feel and just focusing on what they represent to you at this parGcular Gme in your life.

You can also see it as the centre of the mandala is you and you move outward with feelings, thoughts and the vision for your life.

Once you have completed it write your name on the space provided and a short text about your approach, feeling or thought related to your experience.

Enjoy this magical journey!

4. DESIGN A BASIC MANDALA


What is a mandala?

"mandala" is a Sanskrit word that means "circle". Mandalas generally have one centre point, from which emanates an array of symbols, shapes and forms.

Create your own mandala

Drawing and colouring a mandala can be a highly enriching personal experience in which you look inside yourself and find the shapes, colours and patterns to represent anything from your current state of mind to your most deeply-‐desired wish for yourself, for a loved one, or for humanity.

You can design a mandala to symbolize a state of mind that you would like to achieve. Mandalas are great tools for meditation and increasing self-‐awareness. Many different cultures around the world use mandalas in their spiritual practices.

The best thing about designing your own mandala is that you have the freedom to choose whatever shapes and colours that you feel express your sense of self and your view of reality. Your mandala is yours, and you have the freedom to use your creativity to create a mandala drawing that is uniquely you.

Let's get started!

Draw a dot in the middle of your paper. Then draw a series of circles around this dot using a compass. After that you can also add curved lines like in the example (step by step drawing) or even adding straight lines if you prefer. This is a basic one to get you started but you can refine it as you like or leave it as it is.

Don't think about how it's going to look when you finish, or how people will react when they see it. Let the rhythm take you around each circle, and let the mandala become your whole world for now. There's no good or bad—just the rhythm, lines, and contrast. Let yourself be creaGve!

5. MANDALA CARD DECK

This card deck is my own creaGon.

I have designed the Mandalas and wrote the affirmaGon that you see on the back.

You can use them as any other oracle cards. I use them to help clients and myself.

They possess energy based on the circular symbolic Mandalas and the colours play an important part, oVen referring to the chakras as well.

The card deck is £15 and you can order it from me directly by sending an email or message and I will be happy to send it wherever you are. (you can find me on FB, instagram and messenger).

Considering the actual situaGon, it may take a while so if you want one or more just let me know and I will save them for you, and I will send the pack when possible.

Thank you

Monika
