WelcomeCreating a Mandala encourages self-expression and is a form of meditation, as focus is drawn inwards, to our intuitive inner world. Energy is released as we tap into our own creativity and realise the power within us. Colour-in Mandala Wishes Cards are a creative activity for personal enjoyment, and an activity gift and greeting card when shared with others. The inside is left blank for a message from the ‘giver’, and the ‘receiver’ can then colour in the card and make their wishes. Alternatively, the ‘giver’ can colour the card and write their wishes for the ‘receiver’ before passing it on – especially if children want to give parents, siblings or grandparents a unique creative gift. The finished Mandala can be displayed, framed, or even used as a journal cover. Looking at the completed Mandala helps clarify thoughts and expand intentions (keeping an open mind about how they will be answered, rather than having fixed expectations) and the wish card (included in the pack) acts as a constant reminder of the ‘seeds that have already been sown’ – that require nurturing and attention. The cards are a wonderfully quiet and focused pass time for colouring at Birthday’s, gatherings and groups, or on travels. Mandala Wishes Cards have been used for meditation exercises, and as an art therapy resource to encourage self-development and directed intent, or co-creation (a card is chosen intuitively from the range, and reflects what needs to be healed, or brought into balance). There are 12 cards sold separately; each has a Mandala on the front and a coloured outline on the reverse. The printed Mandala is a guide, and many variations are possible using different colours and areas of the design. They are produced from a heavy card stock so they can be painted with gouache or watercolour, and coloured with pencils, or felt pens. They can be posted easily, and a small set of rainbow coloured pencils fits in the envelope. |
