Mandala Greeting Cards - Colored Pencils

Completed in May 2012

These greeting cards are came with envelopes, coloring pencils and a visually enticing book which explains the history and symbolism of Mandalas - It is a great way for practicing meditation while coloring in the Mandala on cards! It helps to focus your mind on the essence of the Mandala and allows the image to become integrated naturally into your consciousness. 

It all started from here:

Three blank Mandala card

Rose of Pure Love

This Mandala is "Rose of Pure Love"

A symbol that gave its name to the mystic order of the Rosicrucian. The cross implies the four cardinal directions, while the rose suggests pure love as well as sacrifice.

I was struggling in whether sending this to my mom as a Mother's Day card but then I decided to send her another one called "Heart Lotus", just because it spent me lots of time in coloring the leaves.

Heart Lotus

This Mandala is "Heart Lotus"

The heart in the middle point in our system of Chakras energy centers) within the body. It is the source from which love and compassion emanate. The lotus suggests spirituality, which we can find in our hearts.

This is the one that I sent to my hometown, Hong Kong, as a Mother's Day card.

Perfect Symmetry

This Mandala is "Perfect Symmetry"

This Mandala centered on the promise of a flower and its seeds, can help the mediator to go back symbolically to the moment of creation. And it reminds us that there's no fundamental difference between subject and object.

This is a Thank You card to one of my colleagues which I think is the most prettiest one that I had colored so far.







I chose to guide myself by my intuition, see how my completed Mandala look like compared to the book:
