The origin of the mandala is rooted in the dawn of time. The word mandala in the Sanskrit language of ancient India means "the centre and the circle", and symbolises wholeness. Mandalas are an ancient source of wisdom, a reflection of universal consciousness, a form of active meditation and individual prayer. As a sacred language of form and colour, they open the way to spiritual peace, relaxation and creativity, and can be used by all people regardless of their age or culture. The mandala can be found in the iris of the eyes, in the stained-glass windows of cathedrals, on Amerindian shields and Afghan yurts, in the patterns of Middle Eastern weaving, Navajo sandpaintings, Tibetan drawings, and artistic designs from all over the world.

Mandalas can be used in three principal ways: they can be contemplated, coloured or created. This package contains 20 mandalas to colour. Choose a calm moment and a quiet place and let your imagination go, trusting in your own creativity.
