The mandala-a sacred circle, symbol of healing and wholeness-has been used from ancient times to the present in spiritual traditions around the globe. Drawing on her worldwide experience in helping people access innate healing capacities, Dr. Judith Cornell presents a dramatically self-empowering approach to well-being and self-knowledge. Her method blends the sacred art and the spiritual science of the mandala with theories in quantum physics, raja and kundalini yoga, and transpersonal psychology.
