Pyrography art for mandala making is the subject of today’s tutorial. This video was posted by  Dr. Tarrin P. Lupo about the mandalas made by Kate from BurntBirch.etsy.com. She gives a step by step tutorial on how she makes mandalas on birch.

Here is what Dr. Lupo has to say about this video: “Watch Kate from BurntBirch.etsy.com wood burn a mandala design. She shares her expert tips in pyrography for burning sacred geometric patterns. If you enjoyed this video please like and share it. “

This is what Kate has to say about mandalas: “Mandala (Sanskrit Mandala, “circle”) is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Indian religions, representing the Universe. In various spiritual traditions, mandalas may be employed for focusing attention of practitioners and adepts, as a spiritual guidance tool, for establishing a sacred space, and as an aid to meditation and trance induction.”

Here is what Desirée has to say about mandala coloring “You can think about mandala coloring pages as letting your inner child emerge and also have a fun time, or you might think about this activity as a kind of meditation. Selecting colors and also the gentle, tiresome motion of the hands while you bring color to paper helps calm the mind–getting your usual rapid-fire ideas lower to some much reduced pace.”
