Black - Red - Crosses - Stars

This mandala arose from a very quiet place within me, when I lay my head down in despair.

Black

The Native Americans say Black in mandalas signifies the burning away of attachment and self-absorption. Also it can suggest a frightening loss of the familiar.

Red

Can mean the arousal of healing life-giving potential deep in the psyche.

Crosses

Interesting that they are mostly 'x' and not '+', this can indicate surrender from familiar ways of being.

Stars

Proclaim identity as a singular being. They can be calling to the inner self to make a special connection to the destiny that it deserves.
