The "Star Of Inner Balance" is a powerful mandala created to enhance our ability to
maintain balance within ourselves.
The central icon is a six pointed star
(two intersecting triangles) often referred to as the Star of David, a symbol of
Judaic heritage. It's roots however, were in India, where the hexagram ( six- pointed star)
was revered as symbolizing the scared union between the Goddess Kali and the God, Shiva.
The downward pointing triangle represents the female symbol of water and grace
descending from heaven; the upward pointing triangle represents the male symbol
of fire, and the ascent into the heavens.
Surrounding the hexagram, are the
intertwining sun and moon, representing the supportive relationship of male and
female energies, necessary for the creation and sustenance of life itself.
The twelve points of the sun and star symbolize the twelve zodiacs, and the twelve
months it takes the earth circle the sun.
The " Star of Inner Balance" represents
the miracle of life which depends on the sacred union of the male and female spirit.
These spirits manifest themselves not only in human form, but in everything around us.
Ancient civilizations had many names for "the great Goddess", but most believed
she was, and is, the Earth itself, resulting in our reference to the earth as female;
i.e. Mother Earth.
Entities of the sky and heavens, are generally referred to as Gods;
Zeus, Apollo, Osiris, Odin, etc., indicating male energies. The sun is generally thought
of as Male energy, the Moon as female energy; lightness as male, darkness as female,
day and night, hot and cold, fire and water, all interdependent on one and other.
The Balance of these forces within us is essential to our survival! Balancing the
mind, body, and spirit is the key to living life in harmony with nature, making us
stronger, happier, and self-confident. Understanding the delicate balance of male
and female energies within us, can deepen understanding of our own sexuality, and
enhance our sexual experience!
Wear this mandala with pride and feel the power!!
