Mandalas: July 17, 2014
What are they?
Mandalas are a round circular item that is used to aid in meditation. They usually are used in the Hindu religion for meditation but Cancer Support Community at UF Health Cancer Center at Orlando Health it is used to help patients and caregivers relax before or during their appointments and procedures.
How do they work?
It's actually a lot easier than it looks. All you have to do is color on the sheet of paper provided. Yes, that's right color!
You pick the colors based on what you would like more of in your life.
Red: strength, high energy, and passion
Pink: love, intuition, and femininity
Orange: creativity, transformation, self-awareness, and intuition
Yellow: learning, wisdom, laughter and happiness
Green: physical healking, psychic ability, love of nature, and caring
Blue: emotional healing, inner peace, meditation
Purple: for all thing spiritual
White: spiritual focus
Black: mystery, deep thinking and individuality
You then focus on where and what you want to color and only that. Just let your mind guide you and pick which colors you want where, setting your intention such as wanting to relax. You can play music and relax! I ended up drawing the photo below. Here is a link to a color page: http://www.colormandala.com/
