A mandala is a circular image containing patterns within patterns based upon Sacred Geometry. This means that the mandalas have incredible balance while flowing with creativity. With so much to see, they can work as a powerful tool for focus, and for affirming good intent for oneself.
Rosella Longinotti Sound Healer & Artist
Rosella has been associated with The Gaia Tree for several years in providing her cards and Word Power to sell in the store. However, since the birth of our new incarnation - Little Sanctuary - Rosella has come on board as a guest practitioner and facilitator, now providing her skills of Mandala Meditations and Mandala Readings.
Rosella has been healing for at least 20yrs, and is a trained sound healer.She also creates personal affirmation mandalas and large 22ins mandalas which can take about 6 days to paint. Personal affirmation mandalas take variable time to create as Rosella has to meditate on the person and their energy until she receives the appropriate symbols and colours through higher guidance. Although Rosella has had no formal art training, her art is considered inspirational by others and she considers her gift a 'wonderful blessing'.
Last year Rosella was invited to do her mandala workshop in Croatia and in Santa Fe. This autumn, she is returning to Santa Fe, USA, to repeat her workshop and has been invited to display a variety of her mandalas at a pretigious venue from August. She has also been invited to do a talk/workshop and mandala meditation in Tahoe, California.
Despite Rosellas numerous invites to practice her skills abroad, she is also available right here in Little Sanctuary several times a year! Keep in contact with us for dates on her private sessions and group 'open eye' meditations.
MANDALA MEDITATION
Rosella has created a series of hand painted meditation mandalas and is offering an introduction to this unusual way of meditating. TThe Mandala Meditation differs from traditional forms of meditation in that the eyes are open and the focus is on the mandala. Meditating with the eyes closed can be quite challenging as the mind wants to drift off, or we relax so much that we fall asleep, but this 'open eye' method helps us to focus. By having a place we can keep returning to, we can learn to be aware, focused and yet alert, while continuing to still the mind. Rosella will guide you to work with the mandala as a meditative tool, helping you to focus your attention, so that you may also uncover the secret energy of the mandala, which is also a pathway to unlocking and connecting to your own intuition.
Experience is not necessary but being open to trying something new is always important!
MANDALA READINGS
Each hand crafted mandala has been channeled with its own individual identity and energy. These images have then been transformed into a set of mandala cards to be used for personal guidance. This is not of a predictive nature, in the same way as Tarot for example, but may highlight gifts as yet untapped or highlight patterns in your life - areas where you may be challenged. These are primarily affirmation mandalas, but at the same time they may give you the tools for transformation. The intent of the reading is to inspire each of you towards personal empowerment , to see and to understand the full potential of yourself, and to observe and understand how it is possible to change any negative patterns you may hold about yourself.
This system of reading is perfect for healing practitioners, light workers, artists and psychics who will absorb the energy of their mandala reading on a very deep and personal level. Mandala Readings cost £35 for a 45minute session. Please ask in store for current dates and available time slots.
