Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
The mandala (Sanskrit for circle), a sacred form in Navajo and Tibetan Buddhist ritual practice is, for cancer survivor Cornell, the embodiment and focal point of the healing power of light and energy. Billing her approach as a "convergence of Eastern and Western thought," Cornell, artist, seasoned workshop leader and founder/director of Manifesting Inner Light of Sausalito, Calif., provides a series of step-by-step exercises for healing through the creation of, and meditations upon, mandalas. This "convergence" comprises free, largely decontextualized borrowing from some non-Judeo-Christian religious traditions as well as ideas inspired by quantum physics, coupled with usually banal criticisms of Western paradigms and, conversely, a facile glorification of Eastern thought. The result will appeal to those who are beginning to dabble in alternative spiritual practice and/or those seeking to intensify internal experiences through a tactile and intuitive, rather than an intellectual, approach. Over 300 photographs and illustrations.

This is one of the most comprehensive and beautiful mandala books I have come across. Well above many of the other mandala books on the market. Anyone can enjoy and gain from this book.

An Inspiration to my Art Students!,

This review is from: Mandala: Luminous Symbols for Healing (Paperback)
Last year I used this book as a resource for a special high school art unit that I developed entitled "Sacred Circles." In addition to learning about circular artwork in various cultures and world religions, students used Judith's beautiful illustrations and step by step guides to create mandalas of their own. (...) This is a book that I still have available in my classroom and students continue to refer to it (independently!) to advance their drawing techniques. SO glad I bought this!

Radiantly Inspiring,
By N. H. Turner (Tallahassee, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mandala: Luminous Symbols for Healing (Paperback)
The beauty of the mandalas pictured in the book intimidated me because it had been so many years since I'd created any art. I didn't think I could do it. But I did it and I'm extremely grateful to Judith Cornell for writing this book. Working on the exercises at home, alone, is not the same experience as it would be in a group. The group can offer a creative support level that helps each individual surpass previous achievements. However, I'm so happy with the mandalas I created as a result of these exercises that I've put each one up on the wall. And, even more important, I've continued to draw. No more creative blocks for me!
