VISUAL MANTRAS BY M.D. FRIEDMAN

(with musical pairings featuring music from www.cranialsacred.com)

Like meditating with your eyes open...

The Visual Mantra Collection is mandala-themed art created with specific healing intent. This artwork shares a circle within a square format and is designed to allow your eyes to wander but always draws them back to center, like the way a mantra focuses your mind in meditation. Sacred geometry and numerological elements, as well as color, symmetry and repetition, are used to “tune” each painting to promote balance in specific energy fields in the human body. Subtle interplay of these elements creates a different experience for every viewer, and each viewer can experience something new every time they interact with the artwork. Please enjoy our original music as you work with each Visual Mantra.

Directions for Using the Visual Mantras...

Open your gaze to the Visual Mantra that calls to you. Let your eyes comfortably embrace the center of the painting. Start the synergistic music curated for the Visual Mantra you are working with. It helps you slip into the meditative state and draws you into an appropriate vibrational zone while also serving as an informal "timer" for your practice. As you work with the painting, you may find your eyes drifting through many of the beautiful details, but you will always feel your eyes pulled once again to the center. The experience is different for everyone, every time. Visual Mantra meditaters sometimes report seeing the images "move" as they work with them. It is truly a form of meditation that facilitates a change in your perspective. With eyes open, this shift in consciousness is often visible.
