Mandalas

Mandalas are a reflection of life and when we color mandalas, skills and talents we didn't think we had rise to the surface. We develop a special and unique sensitivity to Mother Nature. We perceive everything with a new and growing intensity. In short, the satisfaction we feel is enormous.

Mandalas and their colors fill our chakras with energy that activates areas of emotional and psychological growth. This collection of mandalas contains colors geared towards each chakra.
