The disk's easily accessible art is usable in three ways: with a couple of clicks you will be able to select and print one of the basic mandala designs, construct your own mandala by different ring designs from a drop-down menu, or randomly generate a mandala. Because there are 100 centers, 100 middle rings, and 100 outer rings, the disk supplies one million possible permutations andcombinations! 
The book is complete with an introduction to the concept of mandalas, and the history and philosophy behind them, along with clear directions on using the CD-ROM, and a complete visual catalog of all the mandala designs in the program.

Take a personal meditative journey through a series of beautifully illustrated finger labyrinths to quiet the mind and achieve a new level of calm in your everyday practice. The labyrinth is a beautiful metaphor for spiritual and personal transformation. Unlike mazes, which try to trick you into taking the wrong route, labyrinths lead you along one continuous path to the center—they offer a spiritual journey away from your normal everyday life towards introspection and understanding. With more than 35 stunning, serene plant-inspired designs, Madonna Gauding provides guided meditations to use with the labyrinths to help us reach a more positive and loving state of consciousness. Plus, the introduction explains what meditation is and why labyrinths assist us in the practice; she also outlines the benefits we enjoy from meditating on plants, from increased calmness to compelling mindfulness. The book also offers suggested meditations that focus on healing, relationships, and sexuality, embracing your creativity and passion in what you do, and finding peace and contentment.

An introduction to the mandala and practical information on how to use one. 
 Mandalas are symbols of wholeness that reflect the symmetry of natural forms, the cycle of time and the circle of community. They can be found in cultures around the world and throughout history. 
 This comprehensive book introduces the reader to the many different forms a mandala can take, from ancient Hindu mandalas to the intricate patterns of Native American sand paintings and Celtic knotwork. It also provides practical information on how to use a mandala to promote spiritual health and well-being. 
 The Mandala Bible is organized in three sections: the first describes the mandala in spiritual traditions, the second section explains how to work with mandalas, and the last section is a workbook with over 80 beautiful mandala illustrations for coloring and meditation. 
 The Mandala Bible describes: 
<ul>
<li>Hindu mandalas </li>
<li>Buddhist mandalas </li>
<li>Christian mandalas </li>
<li>Celtic mandalas </li>
<li>Native American sand painting mandalas </li>
<li>Meditations and visualizations </li>
<li>How to create a sand mandala </li>
<li>Mandalas and color healing </li>
<li>Mandalas and spiritual healing </li>
<li>Mandalas and creativity. </li> </ul>
 Mandalas can be seen in the labyrinths of medieval churches, as ancient decoration and in jewelry. Swiss psychologist Carl Jung used mandalas as an aid to psychological understanding. For centuries Buddhist monks have painted intricate mandalas only to sweep them into the sea -- the circle of life. The Mandala Bible is an enlightening introduction to this universal symbol.
