Click a picture
4.
Reduce the size of the picture so that it opens

Just like the human body and the mind, the
picture is the body and the explanation/reflection is the mind
b.
The energy is the Aura, depicted by the picture
and the person who posts it.
6. Explanations
a. Explanation / Reflection can be from various dimensions
i. Emotional connect with the picture
ii. Patterns identified based on the picture
iii. Relationship with the picture
iv. Science of the picture
v. Fantasy about the picture
vi. Story or poem based on the picture
vii. Etc..
b. Its not just a judgment about the picture, it’s the connect of the person who is posting and who is reading the picture which matters.
7. Post only one mandala picture per day and its explanation / reflection
8. Most important: Appreciate for the person posting the mandala, not just judgements about the mandala.
9. Understand that the signature of the person is not the Person, Similarly the picture you post is not you or the mandala, the Aura behind it is, the dimension behind it is. Please explain your connect. Mandalas are cryptograms concerning the state of the self at the point of time you identify the picture.
10. Have FUN, Allow the festival spirit to channel though you.

Details on
reflection
Explanation/ Reflection is the key.
Reflective practice is, in its simplest form, thinking about
or reflecting on what you do. It is closely linked to the concept of learning
from experience, in that you think about what you did, and what happened, and
decide from that what you would do differently next time.
Reflective practice and understanding is the ability of the
person to verbalize what he or she has visually/experience that has been
created.
Reflective distance is a feedback system for the
individual’s interaction with the media; the cognitive distance between the art
experience and the thinking and the individuals reflection upon that
experience.
Example 1:
The Mandala of balance. The Centre of gravity being the core, just like any human beings should anchor to their core. Picture taken at Rishikesh. While on a forest trek.
Example 2:
The mandala drawing to help me in building a pattern of doing the same thing again and again, Different emotion, but same action. Colors to represent my emotion and my need to play around, lines representing my need to stay structured.
Example:3
Was listening to the story of Rumi from a friend, kept drawing and this is what appeared.
Intuition and logic performing inside
Picture and lines playing outside
Lost in the world of fantasy and grounding into the gross.
Love for the poem and the art
burning out of the heart.
