Introduction
Mandalas are sacred geometrical shapes, considered by many ancient tradi-
tions as fascinating tools for awakening. Around the world, mandalas are used
in combination with meditation to expand one’s levels of consciousness and
awareness.
As a meditation teacher and mandala artist, I’ve been delighted to see
extraordinarily positive transformations that happened for my students and cli-
ents when they brought meditation and creativity into their lives.
This book started many years ago with my first attempt to paint a mandala.
Head over heels, I fell in love with the beauty of the craft. I remember clearly
that day how, during the process, a deep silence washed over me and I was over-
whelmed by a feeling of awe. Suddenly, every object around me looked exquisite
in its simplicity and perfection. It felt like I was truly “seeing” for the first time,
and I was seeing not with my eyes but with my whole heart.
Although it only lasted for a few moments, it was powerful enough for me to
realize there was something very special about mandalas and spiritual growth.
Because of this experience, I’ve created Enchanted Mandalas for you as a fun
and enlightening tool for meditation, contemplation, and creative relaxation.
By coloring the pages of this book, you’ll experience pure bliss in minutes! I
invite you to express your essence, beauty, and the uniqueness of your soul
through color, the universal language all humans understand.
So please grab a bouquet of freshly sharpened colored pencils, gel pens, or
crayons, and give it a try! I am looking forward to seeing your amazing creations
and hearing your experiences.

Mandala blessings to you, my friend!
