Natural Mandalas: 30 New Meditations to Help You Find Peace and Awareness in the Beauty of Nature by Lisa Tenzin-Dolma

The route to serenity is through nature—and through these richly designed mandalas. With great originality, they break away from the traditional Eastern format, which typically depict the divine architecture of the Cosmos: instead, they reconnect us with Earth, and essential experiences of self-awareness, simplicity, and harmony. In-depth instructions explain how to meditate on the images, and why the particular patterns draw us in so intensely. Choose from mandalas of The Fertile Earth (Two Trees from One Root, A Diamond’s Light); Sky, Weather, and Myth (The Unicorn, Golden Apples); and Animal Life (Gazing at the Tiger). They’re beautiful to look at, and profoundly peace-giving.
