A Daily Workbook of Holistic Healing
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
MANDALA-365 is a year-long transformative, and sometimes difficult, but always enlightening, journey of holistic healing. It is formatted as a day-book beginning with the periphery of the mandala*; the interface of our inner and outer worlds where all healing starts and ending at the divine center of the mandala, the singularity, that is our true self. Most days are followed by an interactive exercise carefully designed to explore, question, and reveal our aspirations and our conceptions of reality. It uses; • Parables that teach archetypical lessons and connect to the deepest reaches of the cognitive mind. • Practical suggestions in alternative medicine that you can use right away to heal the physical body. • Poetry that is original and written from the heart providing emotional nourishment for the quintessential soul. It was originally planned as an e-book and will be also available in the future in that format as well as a paper copy in paperback and hard cover versions. The advantage of the digital version is that the whole text is searchable. Also as new and interesting data becomes available, the e-book can be updated annually for a nominal fee. A blog and a podcast are also in the works for a future date. Regardless of the format, I hope you enjoy the journey and that it as transformative for you in its reading as it was for me in its writing. I have put the book out there to be savored daily as a small dose of wisdom and self-discovery but you can certainly binge if you wish. Just remember that the destination of this journey is the beginning of another one! *mandala: a Hindu or Buddhist graphic symbol of the universe; specifically: a circle enclosing a square with a deity on each side that is used chiefly as an aid to meditation.

About the Book
In a very real sense, each of us is a mandala. Some of us have intricate patterns and colors reflecting the complex experiences of our lives. Some of us are simple arcs of existence with minimalist designs and subtle colors and every possible combination in between. Each of us is as unique as our individual DNA, which strangely, in cross-section on electron microscopy, looks like a mandala! But unlike our DNA, our mandalas are constantly shifting shapes and colors as we make our choices as to the best way to live our lives. All designs of the mandala have a border—the interface we have with one another and the material world. And each mandala has a center, the singularity, where the trinity of mind, body, and spirit integrates and unites with the divine self.
