Create Your Heart Focused Healing Mandala
Full Day Workshop: Sunday, February 15th, 2009 , 10:00 ~ 5:00 pm
Mandalas, (the Sanskrit word for circle), have been used as a tool for transformation since the beginning of time by every culture in the world. They have many purposes, including healing and connecting us to Divine Energy, or our intuition, our creative self, the Source of unconditional love, our Higher Power, or whatever concept we use to describe that part of ourselves beyond knowing. When we are connected, we receive information in the form of healing symbols. Since the information is non-verbal, the Mandala often gives us insights that we could get in no other way. In addition, the process is often fun and stimulates our creativity.
The creation of a Mandala puts us into an altered or meditative state, which slows down time, focuses our intention and helps us to become more mindful, and more loving. We become channels for Divine Energy or find a deeper form of self-expression. The healing qualities of the Mandala touch us on a physical, mental, emotional, and/or spiritual level. The guided meditation process often opens our hearts to unconditional love from a Source beyond ourselves not only for our healing, but also for others, and even the world.
Through the phenomenon of resonance, your energy field is positively transformed by coming into contact with, and being surrounded by, positive energies. Our thoughts and feelings, colours, and shapes in nature, all give off vibrations. By surrounding ourselves with vibrations that support well-being, feel good, and resonate with love, joy, balance and self-empowerment, we create powerful effects on our wellness of body, mind and soul.
Join us for a workshop to create your very own unique, healing Mandala, by utilizing heart focused intention. Two Mandalas will be created in this session; the first one is the shadow Mandala that will facilitate releasing old thought and behavioral patterns that no longer serve our highest purpose. The second Mandala will be infused with heart focused intention to manifest higher energies. During the course there will be two meditations - one to release and one to channel unique energy frequencies specific to each individual.
