Indian astrology has long taught that energy released by the orbiting planets affects our lives and that that energy can also be directed and harnessed to improve our spiritual, mental, and physical well-being. Mandalas are sacred circular energy patterns that reflect our inner nature. By working with associated colors and mantras, this meditative painting practice will connect you to the deeper energies of the planets, creating more harmony, peace, and energy.
Benefits of painting sacred geometry:
• Leaves one feeling calm and connected
• Creates more faith
• Strengthens one’s sitting practice
• Activates both hemispheres of the brain
• Allows one to go into an altered state of consciousness
• Serves as a mediation practice
• Helps ego dissolve and creates a state of deep focus and one pointedness
• A healing tool, helps with transformation
• Creates a deeper connection with the divine
• Beautiful way to make friendship with a difficult planet in one’s astrological chart
• A tool for merging with the divine
