Mandalas, sacred circular energy patterns reflect our inner nature. Sacred Artist Mavis Gewant created an adult coloring book to help one connect to planet energies.Coming from Vedic Astrology, numbers and planets are connected and have specific colors associated with them. Using an ancient number grid, the Vedic Square, an infinite amount of shapes and patterns are created to form a unique mandala based on the corresponding planets. When coloring these original mandalas with the intended colors, this meditative painting practice will connect us to the deeper energies of the planets, creating more harmony, peace and energy. Duplicates of each planet mandala are included, so one can try out different color combinations.
