Mandalas for Healing Purposes and Stress Mangement

The Ariela Group offers energetic artwork featuring mandalas, with corresponding seminars and healing modalities, which provide positive influence for health and balance of mind body and Spirit in the 21st century. Each piece of art or mandala vibrates at a different frequency to affect different energy centers in the body.

It is the purpose of The Ariela Group to share these mandalas and other art on this website in order to inspire others to step aside and let Spirit speak through them in a medium other than that used in everyday work or life. Mandalas are pictures of the soul, and a painter has no expectations when he or she sits down to paint. It is strictly inspiration-driven, where Spirit flows through and the results vary considerably.

Although each mandala or piece of art has been described here by the artist, we invite you to view the art with your own interpretation.

“Vortex Bowl”
1998, by Anne Merkel Monnin

This mandala reflects Meso-american colors, shapes, the idea of a pottery bowl where one can look into the soul of infinity. Totem animals and power symbols surround the outer and inner curves of the bowl. The Kundalini rising is represented by the serpents, with fire energy surrounding all, and the mandala addresses groundedness, the opening of energy flow for survival, the will, the heart, and intuitive/ healing powers.

 

“In Full Blossom”
1999, by Anne Merkel Monnin

This mandala reflects Celtic influence with the knotted border and the power oak leaves surrounding the spiral flower. Simple, yet powerful, the symbols speak of change, growth, evolution, blossoming into wholeness. Higher frequency colors are utilized denoting healing, communication, evolution, and rhinestone dewdrops hang from the leaves and petals showing the freshness of it all.

 

“Cuztic”
2000, by Anne Merkel Monnin

This mandala, painted in Todos Santos, Baja, Mexico, reflects the Mexican influence in its colors, details, and name. Cuztic is the name for elaborate golden necklaces worn by Aztec kings and leaders. In this mandala each circle has golden rings, and in the golden color is a mixture of green, the predominant color of this work, and the focus… the heart chakra. The chakras are depicted down the center with the lower physical chakras depicted with fire and the upper etheric chakras shown as opening lotuses. Lotuses are located at each corner related to personal transformation, and the Yin/Yang sign in the center focuses on balance. The color patterns represent the chakra colors and their inter-relations, and they also form geometric patterns that can be utilized when applying the therapeutic EMDR Variation “Cuztic Technique” which assists clients to energetically release emotional blockages that can cause physical, mental, emotional discomfort.

 

“Journeying the Path”
2000, by Anne Merkel Monnin

This mandala depicts the call to the path of growth, the Sacred Quest, moving forward in life toward one’s dream. The Kokopelli heralds with his flute the ending of the old life and beginning of the adventure to the new. There is another mandala painted underneath this one… the old replaced by the new. The observer’s left side depicts left brain, rigid structures, Old Paradigm, while the right side shows the curves and spontaneity of the right brain, fluidity, New Paradigm thinking… this is the destination, including messages of dreams to come true, written in Southwestern petroglyphs. There are jewels embedded along the path among the stones, and these continue to be discovered each day as we walk along.

 

“Radical Abundance”
2000, by Anne Merkel Monnin

This mandala sparkles with flowing energy. Balanced Yin and Yang, reflections from gold, silver, gems, sparkles. The manifestation rays of green, gold, and violet along with crystal energy pull forth the abundance from the many dimensions of the Universe flowing through the central gemmed vortex.

 

 

“Inca Swastika”
2002, by Anne Merkel Monnin

This mandala was begun in 1988 and later finished in 2002. Influenced by the Inca flag as evidenced in Peru, the sacred hindu swastika symbol was hidden among the chakra colors of the Inca flag. Later the geometric shapes were added with a focus on integration, balance, and flow.

 

 

“Shadow Dance”
2002, by Anne Merkel Monnin

This mandala was begun in 1999 and later finished in 2002. It has multiple layers of paint, taken from other mandalas. Although it has no specifically drawn circles like most mandalas, the shadows outline the circle of the center around the larger flower. Representing the shadow side in each of us, it reminds us that even in the part of us that we try to hide from the world there are beautiful gifts and lessons that we can only learn by looking into the shadow places. With awareness comes growth.

 

“Resurrection of the Phoenix”
2002, by Anne Ingram Merkel

This mandala utilizes things of nature, especially blue and gold macaw feathers as well as feathers from the barred owl, blue jay, and mocking bird, and “paper” layers from a hornets’ nest. Before the feathers and face were added the painting looked like a huge peacock feather, complete with the blue shiny center (which you can still see when you peer into the eyes of the face). Since this photo was taken a peacock feather has been added on the third eye of the face and a bumble bee adorns the left cheek. All totems used speak of new life, rebirth, re-claiming one’s power, clearly speaking one’s truth, and living in joy. Following the “dark night of the soul” this mandala represents the new life of its creator.

 

“Autonomy”
2002, by Anne Ingram Merkel

This mandala reflects two entities, both starting out exactly alike, each painted with the same paint, colors, brushes, yet turning out completely different from the other. Close but separate, these two beautiful entities spin energetically and each can feel the energy of the other, yet the strict “autonomy” keeps them separate. They cannot connect and blend as long as the requirement is separateness. What causes this requirement? Control, fear, lack of commitment, self-involvement? Can this ever change so that they might come closer and softly melt into each other? Not as long as the rigidity is upheld. The entities are surrounded by heart energy, yet there are no colors representing the communication chakras, and without communication the entities remain separate.

 

“Twin Flames”
2002, by Anne Ingram Merkel

This mandala reflects two entities, Divine Partners, both whole and independent, yet connected with overlapping energies which, in their own flowing shapes, create the “third entity” in the form of a heart between them. Each entity glows with his and her own cosmic spiral, and underneath the outer Light is the warmth and strength of the heart, formed by lines going out from each of their radiating circles. The main themes here are wholeness, balance, communication, love, personal power, freedom, Divine Sovereignty, unity. “Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere, they are in each other all along.” RUMI (This is a work still in progress.)

 

“Sacred Marriage”
2002, by Anne Ingram Merkel

This mandala reflects the inner Sacred Marriage of Divine Partners… the self with the Higher Self. It is based on the intersecting of the two triangles of the upper and lower energies, blending at the fourth chakra, the heart center. Predominant colors represent heart energy, balanced yin and yang, blending of the upper and lower chakra energies, throat and third eye communication energies. The focus is on balance of all levels and parts of self/Self and speaks to all of the chakras.

 

“Llumination”
2002, by Alexa Young

This mandala was inspired and designed to represent the energetics of the game Llumination: The QUEST, as well as the entity Llumination Unlimited, Inc., which holds the energetics for the Tarot work and writings of its creator. It has been sketched, painted, and designed by computer graphics.
