Exploring the Magical Healing Power of Color</h2>
<h3><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span><br />
Color Your World “Healthy”</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">Did you know you can create a <strong>healthy state of being</strong> through mandala coloring meditation? You really can color your world `<strong>Healthy</strong>`. For what would you be without colors? You are born into a world of color. It’s all around you. Color represents <strong>differing qualities of light</strong> that help give <strong>meaning</strong> to your life. At the same time, color is such an <strong>integral part of your daily landscape</strong> that you often forget the many ways you’re affected by it.</p>
<div id="attachment_129" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 430px"><a href="http://mandalacoloringmeditation.com/"><img class="size-full wp-image-129" title="color-pencils" src="http://mandalacoloringmeditation.com/mandala-coloring/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/color-pencils.jpg" alt="Be sure to use high quality coloring pencils to color your mandala coloring pages!" width="420" height="221" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Be sure to use high quality coloring pencils to color your mandala coloring pages!</p></div>
<p>Color <strong>heightens your sensitivity</strong> to the world around you.  It <strong>amplifies the beauty</strong> you see in nature. It intensifies your <strong>tactile experiences</strong>. It adds understanding to your life events—your stories. Every day you make decisions about color. <strong> You decide</strong> what clothes you’ll wear, what foods you’ll eat, the color schemes you’ll use to decorate your home, and even the flowers you’ll plant in your garden.</p>
<p>In the next post, I`ll talk about the relationship between color and your feelings.</p>

<h2>Opening the Doorways of Your Mind Through Mandala Coloring <span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></h2>
<h3><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span><br />
Mandala Coloring and the Consciousness Connection</p>
<div id="attachment_85" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://mandalacoloringmeditation.com/mandala-coloring/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/albert-einstein.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-85" title="albert-einstein" src="http://mandalacoloringmeditation.com/mandala-coloring/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/albert-einstein.jpg" alt="Albert Einstein" width="200" height="198" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Albert Einstein</p></div></h3>
<p><strong>Albert Einstein</strong> once stated, <em>“No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.”</em> What he seemed to understand when he made this statement is that consciousness is multi-dimensional and that, when you access higher levels of consciousness, you have access to knowledge and wisdom that exist beyond ordinary awareness or understanding.</p>
<p>Accessing higher levels of consciousness is a little like <strong>awakening to a new reality</strong>—an expanded reality that allows you to see the truth of who you really are and that imposes no boundaries on what you can be or do.</p>
<p>You may be thinking,<em> “I’d like to experience this authenticity and state of being too. How do I do it?” </em>The answer is right here in this article. <strong>Read on to begin your mandala coloring experience and your journey to higher levels of consciousness.</strong> The art of mandala coloring is a remarkable process. It’s straight forward, <strong>fun</strong>, and <strong>transformational</strong> all at the same time. People have described mandala coloring as a healing art form, a meditative technique, and even an alternative means of journaling (see also the picture of the Tibetan Sand Mandala)</p>
<p>However you describe the process of coloring the circular shape of the mandala, it allows you <strong>to connect with your inner being</strong>—your divine essence. It lets you access the inner recesses of your mind and communicate your thoughts and feelings in ways that are profoundly healing and nurturing. And, it can <strong>help you reach higher levels of consciousness</strong>.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_90" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 432px"><a href="http://mandalacoloringmeditation.com/mandala-coloring/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/sand-mandala-meditation.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-90" title="sand-mandala-meditation" src="http://mandalacoloringmeditation.com/mandala-coloring/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/sand-mandala-meditation.jpg" alt="A Tibetan Sand Mandala Meditation" width="422" height="337" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">A Tibetan Sand Mandala Meditation</p></div>
<h3>What is Consciousness?</h3>
<p>What exactly does reaching a higher level of consciousness mean? For the answer,<strong> let’s look at the meaning of the word “consciousness.”</strong> A simple definition of this complex word is that it’s an <strong>energetic field of awareness.</strong> You might say that consciousness is a way of knowing. It means being present and fully aware on all levels of your being. It’s an evolutionary process that allows you to gain a deeper understanding of who you are. <strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>How Does Mandala Coloring Work to Expand Your Consciousness?</strong></p>
<p>Coloring mandalas<strong> involves four key things</strong>:  <strong>(1)</strong> the spontaneous practice of <strong>meditation</strong>, <strong>(2)</strong> the art of <strong>coloring</strong>,  <strong>(3)</strong> the use of the <strong>sacred circle</strong>, and lastly <strong>(4) </strong>the <strong>proper use of an intention</strong>. Each component, by itself, is known to facilitate expanded levels of consciousness. When you put them together, they draw on one another to form an incredibly powerful medium for <strong>self-discovery, self-expression, self-healing, and self-realization</strong>. <strong>That’s mandala coloring!</strong> <strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Imagine yourself dropping a crystal into a pool of water</strong>. You see the waves of displaced water create concentric circles which get wider and wider, moving out into infinity. You see the physical weight of the crystal raise the level of the water, changing it forever. You also feel the vibration of the crystal energize the water.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://mandalacoloringmeditation.com/mandala-coloring/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/water-circle-meditation.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-91 aligncenter" title="water-circle-meditation" src="http://mandalacoloringmeditation.com/mandala-coloring/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/water-circle-meditation.jpg" alt="Circles on Water" width="502" height="405" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Now imagine that the water represents your consciousness and the crystal represents the mandala coloring process</strong>.  Like the crystal breaking through the surface of the water, the act of coloring mandalas will stir your consciousness. Your consciousness will grow, expanding ever outward like the concentric circles of water created by the crystal. Once practiced, the mandala coloring process and its magical powers will become an integral part of your awareness, your inner wisdom. It will change who you are and how you view the world.</p>
<p><strong>It will facilitate your evolution in consciousness.</strong> Experience the mandala’s consciousness expanding effects all the time by making it a part of your everyday surroundings. <a href="http://mandalacoloringmeditation.com" title="The top 10 tips about mandala coloring pages" target="_blank">Follow Tip 10 of the Top 10 Mandala Coloring Tips</a> and<strong> “hang your mandala on the wall, in your bedroom, or put it on a chest.”</strong> By seeing your colored mandala regularly, you’ll remind yourself consciously and unconsciously of your intention to expand your consciousness. It’s a very powerful visual reminder indeed!</p>
<h3>Meditational Medicine to Enhance Your Mandala Coloring Experience</h3>
<p>Mandalas are typically created while <strong>you’re in a meditative or contemplative state</strong>, so you can be in that place of stillness when you create. In fact, mandala coloring is considered to be a<strong> simple or easy form of meditation</strong>. That’s because coloring your mandala automatically puts you into a meditative frame of mind. As a result, <strong>it doesn’t take any extra effort</strong> to get the benefits of meditation when you color your mandala.</p>
<div id="attachment_89" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 267px"><a href="http://mandalacoloringmeditation.com/mandala-coloring/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/meditation-1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-89" title="meditation-1" src="http://mandalacoloringmeditation.com/mandala-coloring/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/meditation-1.jpg" alt="Meditation and Mandala Coloring" width="257" height="341" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Meditation and Mandala Coloring</p></div>
<p>Plus, if you meditate before you start your mandala coloring, you’re <strong>greatly enhancing your own process of expanding consciousness</strong>. That’s one reason why relaxing music soundscapes and binaural beat meditations are offered with the mandala coloring pages set available through <a title="Mandala coloring meditation" href="www.MandalaColoringMeditation.com" target="_blank">www.MandalaColoringMeditation.com</a>:  to positively amplify your total mandala coloring experience! Meditation allows you to <strong>relax your body</strong> and <strong>quiet your mind</strong>.</p>
<p>That explains why mandala coloring is such an <strong>effective tool for relieving tension and stress, and for healing</strong>. When you quiet your mind, you release its need to create boundaries and to control your thinking. <strong>Meditation also lets you artistically express</strong> what’s in your heart from a place of centeredness. When you open your heart and allow your mind to go with the flow, you’re able to see the infinite possibilities life has to offer. <strong>You’re able to view life from a higher level of consciousness.</strong> <strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>The meditative aspects of mandala coloring</strong> present many other positive benefits. In fact, many scientific studies have proven the physical and emotional benefits derived from meditation, including some of the following:</p>
<p>•    Lower blood pressure<br />
•    Increase concentration<br />
•    Stimulate creativity<br />
•    Overcome mental blocks<br />
•    Increase self-awareness<br />
•    Improve focus<br />
•    Promote spiritual growth</p>
<h3>Expressing Your True Colors Through Mandala Coloring</h3>
<p><strong>Coloring is a right brain activity</strong> that sparks your imagination and engages your creative center. When you color a mandala, you’re not only firing up your imagination but you’re also <strong>calling on your intuition for guidance</strong>. Both <strong>imagination</strong> and <strong>intuition</strong> serve as gateways to accessing higher dimensions of consciousness.</p>
<div id="attachment_88" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://mandalacoloringmeditation.com/mandala-coloring/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/mandala-coloring-pages-meditation.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-88" title="mandala-coloring-pages-meditation" src="http://mandalacoloringmeditation.com/mandala-coloring/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/mandala-coloring-pages-meditation.jpg" alt="Express your true colors through mandala coloring" width="300" height="223" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Express your true colors through mandala coloring</p></div>
<p><strong>Mandala coloring is a special way to express yourself.</strong> When you color, you’re communicating your innermost needs, wants, and desires. You’re sharing information about who you are and what you’re feeling at that moment. It’s no wonder that mandala coloring is viewed as such an <strong>effective medium for healing</strong>.</p>
<h3>Understanding Colors and their Specific Energies</h3>
<p><strong>Colors have different wavelengths of energy that can affect you on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level</strong>. You may like a color or intuitively pick a color because you associate it with a particular incident in your life or a particular feeling. For example, you might like the color blue because it’s calming and can help bring down your blood pressure. You might be attracted to the color yellow because it’s mentally stimulating. Or, you might be partial to the color brown because you associate it with your favorite hobby, gardening.</p>
<div id="attachment_87" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 338px"><a href="http://mandalacoloringmeditation.com/mandala-coloring/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/mandala-coloring-meditation-girl.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-87" title="mandala-coloring-meditation-girl" src="http://mandalacoloringmeditation.com/mandala-coloring/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/mandala-coloring-meditation-girl.jpg" alt="Meditate on your colors" width="328" height="487" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Meditate on your colors</p></div>
<p><strong>Yes, colors have symbolic meanings that can help you understand yourself and your needs better</strong>. Plus, there are a number of other ways that you can use mandala coloring to positively impact your life: •    Lift your spirits. •    Boost and rebalance your energies. •    Give voice to your soul. •    Facilitate healing and promote wellness. •    Provide a creative outlet. •    Engage your intuition. •    Allow you to journal by using color and images.</p>
<h3>Invoking the Power of the Sacred Circle Through Mandala Coloring</h3>
<p>The round form of the mandala is considered <strong>a sacred geometric shape</strong>. It symbolizes the center of the universe, the center of the self. Its spherical structure <strong>holds information and communicates ideas</strong>. This is one reason your intuitive mind responds to the shape of the circle. It’s also the reason that coloring mandalas is such an effective tool to gain intuitive insights and self-understanding. <strong>The mandala’s circular design has the power to engage you on a cellular level</strong>—to facilitate healing. When you gaze into the mandala, it draws you in and allows you to connect with its energy on a deep level. It initiates changes in your consciousness.</p>
