THIS SERIES CAME ABOUT IN ANSWER TO TWO QUESTIONS: "HOW CAN MY WORK BENEFIT THE GREATEST NUMBER OF PEOPLE?" AND "HOW CAN VISUAL ART SUPPORT THE HEALING PROCESS?"  THE MANDALAS ARE FLORAL BECAUSE INITIAL EVIDENCE BASED DESIGN RESEARCH INDICATES THAT  NATURE MOTIFS HAVE THE MOST BENEFIT FOR HOSPITAL PATIENTS.  THE CIRCULAR LAY-OUT OF A MANDALA IMPLIES INTEGRITY, INTERCONNECTION AND SPIRIT.  BY REVEALING THE GEOMETRIC STRUCTURE OF ALL FORM, SACRED GEOMETRY OVERLAYS DEMONSTRATE THE UNDERLYING ORDER OF THE UNIVERSE.  WHEN FACING LIFE CHALLENGES, IT IS A SOURCE OF COMFORT AND INSPIRATION TO BE REMINDED OF THE ORDER AND BALANCE FOUND IN NATURE.

HOW

DID THE ROSE

EVER OPEN ITS HEART

AND GIVE THE WORLD ALL OF ITS BEAUTY?

IT FELT THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF LIGHT AGAINST ITS

BEING.

OTHERWISE WE ALL REMAIN TOO

FRIGHTENED

THE PETALS OF A ROSE UNFURL IN THE BEAUTIFUL CURVES OF A GOLDEN SPIRAL.  AT THE HEART OF THE BLOSSOM IS OUR OWN HEART, WITH ALWAYS MORE DEPTHS TO BE DISCOVERED.

 

WHICH IS MORE CHALLENGING FOR YOU: GIVING UNCONDITIONAL LOVE OR RECEIVING IT?  HAVE YOU EXPERIENENCED EITHER?  START NOW BY INHALING AND EXHALING FROM YOUR HEART CENTER WHILE GAZING, WITH SOFT FOCUS, AT THE CENTERPOINT OF THE MANDALA.

 

IMAGINE GIVING, AND THEN RECEIVING, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE TO THE PLANTWORLD, TO THE ANIMAL KINGDOM, TO THE ROCKS AND MINERALS, TO THE SKY AND AIR, TO RIVERS AND OCEANS, TO VOLCANOES AND FIRE, TO THE PLANET, SOLAR SYSTEM, GALAXY, TO THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.  IMAGINE GIVING AND RECEIVING UNCONDITIONAL LOVE WITH THE DIVINE IMAGINATION.
