The Flower Mandalas blog has a dual purpose:
- To explore the use of art as a means to healing and transformation.
- To ask for your help in completing The Flower Mandalas Project.
Purpose #1: My intent is to use my own Flower Mandalas and related ideas and thoughts as a springboard for a broader exploration of the topic of art, healing, and transformation. I invite you to contribute your own experiences with art, healing, and transformation to the Art, Healing, and Transformation group on Beliefnet.com. I hope that a lively discussion will ensue there. I will moderate this group and, with your permission, post a selection of your contributions on the Flower Mandalas blog. You may also contact me directly at phototransformations@davidbookbinder.com.
Purpose #2: I’d like to ask for your responses to the Flower Mandala images posted here, either briefly as comments to the blog posts or in detail on the Behance Network Fifty-Two Flower Mandalas page. My plan is to create a book of 52 Flower Mandala images, each one paired with an inspirational quotation and original essay which in some way complement the image. My hope is for each image-and-quote-and-essay triad to resonate with a fundamental aspect of human experience.
Thanks for listening and sharing.

VIVIDLY GORGEOUS. I IMEDIATELY SEE THE IMAGE SPINNING AND I FEEL THE RUSH OF LIFE FORCE BURSTING UP THROUGH THE CHAKRA SYSTEMS FROM THE ROOT CHAKRA. SWIRLING ENERGY, SWIRLING PASSION FOR LIFE, SWIRLING LOVE.
THANK YOU FOR THE EXPERIENCE AND BEAUTIFUL SIGHT.
