5.0 out of 5 stars New to Mandalas, April 4, 2000
By A Customer
This book is a great combination of text and actually creating your own mandalas. The text is clear and concise. The "practice" mandalas are large enough to allow freedom of expression in creating your personal thoughts/feelings by way of art.

I'm new to this experience, but this book leads me through each step with an explaination and then the opportunity to practice. I've been using colored pencils, but some more dynamic colors might be more desirable at times.

To begin with, I didn't make copies of the blank mandalas, I just colored them in the book. I believe it might be better to make a good quality copy of the blank mandala in case it just doesn't come out right the first time.

Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars unbeatable for busy minds, December 9, 2005
Being someone with bipolar disorder, the concept of mental discipline has always been difficult with me. Settling the mind to meditate or visualize is hard, as the BP mind is full of so much noise and is hard to pin on just one thing. This changed when I started to work with coloring mandalas and then meditating on them afterword. I have currently been working on the book "Mandalas of the World" and it is so full of information and practical exercises I can't recommend it enough. Being able to engage the hands in the task of coloring while the mind explores the patterns and colors has been the only thing I have found so far to tame this topsy turvy brain of mine. I highly recommend this work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Personal Favorite, August 25, 2006
By B. Clare Goodwin (Cape Cod, MA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Of all the books in my Mandala Library, this one is my personal favorite -- an excellent reference for mandalas of many cultures. In fact, I own two copies. One for my own coloring and meditation. The second copy remains blank as a reference copy for students to look at.

Dr. Dahlke provides inspiration for design and meditation. He gently reminds us, throughout deceptively simple pages, to reconnect with the "old knowledge" of the Divine within.
