Announcing Tara Mandala Body and Aromatherapy Products

Tara Mandala Herbs is proud to announce our fabulous new line of Mandala Body and Aromatherapy Products. Created with the inspiration of Tsultrim Allione and the expertise of a master aromatherapist, these sensual products are sure to enhance the transformation of emotions on the spot.

Choose from Body Oil, Aromatherapy Mist, Bath Oil, and an Anointing Stick, or purchase a Sample Kit to try them all. Each body product is created using the finest ethically wildcrafted raw and organic ingredients.

Tsultrim Allione was inspired to create these products based on the mandala principle she has been teaching for over twenty years. Our Body Products are created with the Tantric Buddhist idea that we can wake up through fully engaging in our sense experiences rather than renouncing them. In Tantric Buddhism, known as Vajrayana, the body and sensuality are seen as vehicles to liberation rather than as obstacles. The template or structure of this sacred world is known as the mandala. The mandala has a center and four directions, each of which has a corresponding Buddha Family. Each of the five "Families" in the mandala represents an encumbered pattern and a wisdom that is the energy of the encumbered pattern freed into its true nature. Tara Mandala body products work with the ancient science of aromatherapy to trigger the transformation of each emotional pattern into its corresponding wisdom.

Buddha Family (Space) - depression and disassociation become the Wisdom of Total Space
Vajra Family (Water) - anger, which can be both hot and cold, becomes Mirror-like Wisdom
Ratna Family (Earth) - pride and feelings of inadequacy transform into the Wisdom of Equanimity and Enriching Presence
Padma Family (Fire) - grasping, seduction and clinging in relationships becomes the Wisdom of Discernment
Karma family (Wind) - compulsive work and speed from ambition become All-Accomplishing Wisdom

Since each Buddha Family found in the Mandala represents a facet of our personalities, Tara Mandala Body Products support the transformation of emotions from the encumbered pattern to the wisdom aspect. Beyond this, they are wonderfully sensual and deliciously nurturing. In a meditative context, these products can be used to encourage a deeper connection with the enlightened environment. On a daily basis, these products can also be applied to help transform any of the five encumbered patterns. Choose products associated with the wisdom you would like to cultivate.

The products are of the highest quality, made with organic ingredients subtly formulated exclusively for Tara Mandala by master aromatherapist and professional producer of spa quality body care products, Julie Williams, founder of Leaf People.
