Find deeper meanings and
understanding about yourself and your relationships through Islamic mandalas.
Coloring mandalas is considered a healing process and these designs come from a
rich variety of sources, including the Koran, a detail from an Iranian silver
pitcher, and a Turkish plate motif. While you meditate on the incredible
illustrations, reflect on the poems that accompany them, including verses Rumi’s
Poems and Al-Ghazali’s ‘The Alchemy of Happiness’.
Interpreting the colors
you use to color your mandalas is an important step in your journey to
self-discovery and self-healing. They can help you to find, recognize, and
release those hidden and trapped feelings, emotions, and fears, enabling you to
express yourself clearly. While we color, we are subconsciously picking specific
colors which represent what we are feeling at the moment. Do not be alarmed if
you have some negative representations. They are not Judgments about you, but
rather simply demonstrate how a color can affect you.
The theory of holism
states that everything in the universe is related and linked together. If one
organism is disturbed, for example, all others are affected in some way or
another. In order to find ourselves and become "one" again, we need a holistic
method of treatment which demands silence, meditation, and guidance. Mandalas
offer guidance because they force us to examine our emotions, fears, thoughts,
and feelings by pushing our unconscious to our conscious, connecting them into
one collective consciousness.
