One Million Mandalas: For You to Create, Print, and Color by Madonna Gauding. (St. Martin’s Griffin, $39.95, Hardcover with DVD; $19.99, Hardcover with CD.)
Ever since Eastern spiritual thought first broke through to Western consciousness, mandalas have been a popular aid to meditation. One Million Mandalas offers a lifetime of beautiful designs to print out and color. It includes easy to use software (compatible with both Windows and Mac) that allows us to mix and match 100 centers, 100 middle rings, and 100 outer rings, offering a seemingly unlimited number of designs.
The hardcover book stores the colorful CD in its cover. It includes
an introduction to the concept of mandalas, and the history and philosophy behind them. It is a guide to meditation through the art of coloring, and contains several meditations with titles such as Weathering the Storm, Manifesting Your Best Self, and Calming & Centering. It also shows hundreds of possible designs, listing out the numbers of their various components.
Madonna Gauding also offers tips on what to do with completed mandalas. They can be hung informally on our refrigerators or framed for more permanent display. They can be scanned and sent to friends or family. They can be made into calendars or printed on note cards. And of course they can be kept private and used in personal meditation.
