Most of us are conditioned out of our creativity early when we were taught that if we could not make "good art" as children we should not bother at all. creativity overrides the conformity of what we were taught:

The creative process involves intuition, mystery, delving into the unknown, messing around with ideas, shapes, and colours; being willing to play and experiment. And part of the process is to allow feelings to be expressed through all media: the written word, speech, colour, line, form, drama, music. Through this whole process, we find our individuality, self-esteem, and ability to act consciously.

ART REHAB: Our emotional set-point is the habitual background feeling that we carry all through our lives, often without really recognising that it is there. We all have varying degrees of happiness and self-love that is our "normal." Until we become aware of it, our "normal" is usually similar to the emotional climate that we grew up in.

Take five minutes to close our eyes and go within. Our "normal" is often a hum of anxiety that covers up a predominant feelings of fear, anger, or sadness. Feel into the emotional state that is our unquestioned "normal." What is the ever-present emotional hum that runs under our days?


What colours and images would represent our "normal"? We find ourself colouring in many bright colours around a partial head. Our imagination is rich, but our "normal" emotional set-point was a general feeling of being withdrawn from a full engagement with our life. We fear being fully honest and expressive. Thats why we colour with full bright crayons.

Awaken to the power of the mandala, A sacred circle of light and energy, A pathway to centre—to my centre and to the universal All, A channel for healing body, mind, and spirit

“I awaken to the power of the mandala,
A sacred circle of light and energy,
A pathway to centre—to my centre and to the universal All,
A channel for healing body, mind, and spirit”
What exactly is a Mandala?


Would you be surprised to learn that mandalas have existed since the beginning of time and that you probably witness and experience their beauty every day? Simply stated, a mandala is a sacred circle.

The word mandala comes from the ancient Sanskrit language and loosely means “circle” or “center.” It’s a simple geometric shape that has no beginning or end. Within its circular shape, the mandala has the power to promote relaxation, balance the body’s energies, enhance your creativity, and support healing. The great news is you can achieve all of these benefits while having fun with your mandala coloring pages.
Where Do Mandalas Come From?


Look around you and notice how abundantly the circular pattern of the mandala appears in your environment. You can see this geometric shape in all aspects of life. The sun in the sky, the nucleus of the cells in your body, and the pristine design of a snowflake all reflect the sacred roundness of the mandala. In fact, according to the ancient science of Sacred Geometry, it is the pattern created by interlocking spheres that forms the matrix of all universal matter.


When you consider the mandala’s ancient roots and its use in indigenous practices around the globe, you begin to understand why it’s such a part of our planetary culture.


To the Tibetan monks, the sand mandala represents multi-dimensional fields of spiritual consciousness and the state of enlightenment. To the Native Americans, the medicine wheel, a form of mandala, symbolizes sacred ceremonial space and the circle of life. In both eastern and western cultures, the mandala has come to symbolize harmony, unity, wholeness, and healing.

In truth, the mandala is all of these representations and even more.
How Do Mandala Coloring Pages Activate the Mandala’s Healing Powers?

When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds

"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds; your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world.
Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be."

-Patanjali
