Mandala: Journey to the Center

Summary: "Soothing our soul"
Review: After reading Journey to The Center, I understood for the first time how connected we are with one another, that every living thing, the great trees, the smallest creature, or infinitesimal insect is part of the intricate sacred art of our universe.

The book is imbued with lush Mandala art from a variety of people world wide, in addition to magnificent photography and even a design to show you how to make your own personal Mandala. Great fun!

I had the pleasure of attending one of Ms. Cunningham's Mandala workshops and her book is an extension of her joy of life and ability to give others a kick-start in understanding our spiritual link to the universe.

Summary: A Spiritual and Artistic Journey
Review: Bailey Cunningham's MANDALA Journey to the Center was for me a journey of discovery of the spiritual dimension that can be found in forms and color. In this beautifully illustrated book, the author presents a myriad of mandalas and the many forms in which they are found. Some are absolutely breathtaking. She then shows us how we can create our own-and why we might. Although I meant to browse the book casually, I actually read it cover to cover in one sitting. I recommend MANDALA Journey to the Center to artists and non-artists alike for the way in which it can touch the artist that is deep within us all.

Summary: Cross Cultural Experience
Review: The Hermitage of New Glastonbury was lucky enough to be given this book for the library. It's great. The author surveys the use of mandalas through history and by cultures around the globe. Reading the book is like taking a journey not only around the world but into the soul. Each page is rich with color photographs and artwork that not only illustrate the text but also give ideas for creating mandalas of your own. In fact the author includes instruction on mandala construction with suggested tools and materials. The author's emphasis on the common artistic and spiritual ground of humanity is a welcome message, especially at this time. The book is clearly worth the price - both for the great illustrations and for the wisdom of experience shared by the author.
