The Mandala Book - patterns of the universe - Engelska

The word mandala can be loosely translated from Sanskrit as "circle"; however, it also represents concepts of unity and oneness. The mandala is an archetypal symbol of wholeness that is replicated on a cosmic scale, not only in manifestations of art, architecture and religion, but throughout the natural universe. The concepts and primal patterns it represents are the base upon which all physical things are created. The Mandala Book features more than 500 stunning images of mandalas as they appear in our universe, strung together to illustrate the story of unity. Drawing from history, science and art author and mandala artist Lort Bailey Cunningham takes you on a journey that spans from tiniest particle of matter to spiral galaxies in the farthest reaches of the universe, from prehistoric petroglyphs to Carl Jung- an uplifting visual experience that allows us to discoverour connection to the world and to one another. Coloring the 12 mandalas at the back of the bokk, focusing your energy and attention inward, is a meditativ tool for relaxation and contemplation.
