MANDALA ART THERAPY FOR WORKING WITH EMOTIONS & BEHAVIORS Mandalive® art therapy is designed to increase self-awareness and facilitate healing and growth through exploring emotions, qualities and behaviors. It consists of 150+ mandala templates that represent emotions, qualities, and behaviors, both positive and negative. They are arranged in pairs; e.g. anger/peacefulness, sadness/happiness, success/failure. This innovative approach to inner work, self-exploration, and healing helps you gain balance, energy, clarity, and confidence to live a more authentic and fulfilled life. FEATURES: - adjustable color palette and stroke options to set size, sharpness, and saturation - eyedropper to select the same color that you previously used - dice for random selection of color - "border-sense" option to stay within the lines o - possibility to “dissolve” the mandalas inspired by the practice of Buddhist monks - eraser if you need to make small adjustments - AirPrint to color with pencils or to display your work HOW TO USE MANDALIVE CHANCE OR CHOICE Choose an emotion or quality you want to color, or leave it up to the universe see what comes up for you! INTENTION Read the given intention or write your own to increase the overall effect of the therapeutic activity. COLOR IN APP OR ON PAPER Color directly within the app, or print it out and color with pencils. WHY DO WE INCLUDE NEGATIVE EMOTIONS & QUALITIES? We’re told all the time to let go of the negative and think positively. This causes us to repress the emotions and qualities we don’t like or fear will be judged as unacceptable. The problem is that when we deny these negative emotions or qualities without giving them expression or – at the very least – attention, we don’t really let go of them. Instead, they end up hidden in the unconscious, turning into our shadow selves, ready to enter our lives out of nowhere as annoying, unpleasant, or damaging behaviors and situations. Living only in the positive throws us out of balance. We’re much more dimensional than that! True balance involves an integration of all of the polarities (both sides) in our personalities. We’re meant to live the full spectrum of our emotions and traits. This gives us access to all of the unlimited possibilities the universe has to offer. If we continue to repress the negative, we become less authentic and less dimensional. However negative we believe our shadow selves to be, they actually contain a lot of positive mental energy and creativity, if we learn to use them with conscious intent. And Mandalive® is a great way to learn how to do that! IF YOU ENJOY THE FREE MANDALAS AND WANT TO COLOR MORE, YOU CAN SUBSCRIBE TO PREMIUM ACCESS WITH NEW DESIGNS BEING ADDED!
