DOWNLOAD EBOOKThese mandalas, Martha Bartfeld writes, are keys that have been planted, and each key will open doors to hidden memories when you are ready to experience them. As you look upon these designs, you will find a message about an issue you are dealing with. Each symbol will suggest a telepathic image -- a reminder of the lesson you have come to earth to learn, of your own inner magic. In addition to inspiring guided art meditations, these original geometric patterns are ideal for a wide range of design applications, from stained glass to tattoos. Kids enjoy coloring them as much as adults do.

In Buddhism, the mandala represents the nature of the "pure land, enlightened mind" - used in support of the meditating person. The "circle of life" has been depicted in mandala-like forms by cultures throughout history, from Aztec sun stones to Christian altars. The circle is also associated with eternity, balance and perfection - the last one mainly because the distance from the circle's center to any point in its outline is the same. New age mandalas represent an organizational structure of life itself. A spirtual journey that is never ending and forever connected.
