For many, the word mandala evokes exotic images of Swamis and sitar music, of exquisite designs and brilliant colors which excite the eye and somehow stir the soul. But only a comparative handful of westerners understand the true significance of these beautiful designs, their functions and their power.

The mandala, a design made of geometric symbols used in varying combinations and colors, is a tool used in meditation. When viewed by the meditator, the symbolism expressed by the mandala is impressed on the subconscious mind. If used regularly for meditation, the mandala can effect powerful, positive changes and growth in the user.

Emahmn, a teacher and counselor for greater personal development, has made a 25 year study of the symbols, called Tatwas, used in Hindu mandala. He has produced a large body of work devoted to the understanding and use of Tatwa meditational mandalas for personal growth.

Tatwas
--a Sanskrit word meaning energy-- are the five geometric symbols used in mandalas which represent the five universal energies. The symbols are the ovoid, the triangle, the half-moon, the circle, and the square. Each Tatwas symbolizes unique energies with specific properties, potentials and frequencies. In varying combinations, these five energies make up the sum totality of everything in our physical and spiritual universe. While Western scientists discovered less than a decade ago that there are five of these energies --they had previously only known of four-- Hindu mystics have known for 10,000 years of these five universal energies and their symbols, and have handed down this priceless information through geometrical designs thousands of years old.

By combining the systems of astrology, numerology, color and sound dynamics, and Qabala --a complete system for healing, self-discovery and achieving Godhood-- Emahmn has discovered and designed a holistic system for self-healing and self discovery through meditation on the Tatwa mandalas.

Personal mandalas, developed by Emahmn through using a person's astrological information, express the ideal state for each individual, and reveal that person's life purpose. If used in regular meditation, the personal mandala can effect powerful, healing changes, bringing balance, order and expansion into all aspects of the life.
