Since I began my personal spiritual healing journey, I have researched many different modalities and ways to achieve a happy and fulfilled life. As part of my research, I discovered the mandala.
What Is A Mandala?
For those of you who don’t know, mandala is the Sanskrit word for a circle. It represents the universe in Hindu and Buddhist symbolism and is used as a method of meditation and self healing. A mandala is created intuitively and its message and healing qualities are revealed during the process. They are mesmerising to create and they activate the creative part of the brain, tapping into our subconscious mind.
100 Days Of Mandalas
I have been following a lovely and talented artist called Louise Gale (@louisegale) for some time now and am very inspired by her mandala art. Therefore, when last week she announced that she was joining one of her students Ruth (@ruth65) in a 100 Days of Mandalas project over on Instagram, I decided to join them from my own account @HeartMindHappiness. Here are a few of my mandalas from the first week.
Edit: credit also goes to Rosalina Bojadschijew (@artonthemoon) for also instigating this project.
For 11 years, I had a very successful small business making and selling handmade fudge at the local markets in Dubai. At the beginning of this year, for various reasons, I chose to close the business and fully focus on Heart Mind Happy. I am so happy to have made the move and am immensely grateful for all the wonderful clients who come to me for healing. However, I really miss the markets and meeting new people through them. I wanted to be able to create something myself that would get me back out there again. For the past 8 months, my plan has been to begin creating personalised mandala art to aid in healing sessions and to create mandalas that can be sold at the markets too. This project has given me the much needed motivation to explore different mediums and to gain my confidence in creating my work. Therefore, from September, I will be returning to the markets here in Dubai with my mandala art. I couldn’t be more excited!
Love and light
