Lunar Mandala
Examples
Dear Lunar Mandala community,
Here are some examples of how to use the Lunar Mandala, more specifically, the Lunar Diagram. We're offering the option to share how you use it, and we'll continue to add examples to this page as they arrive. If you create a new way to use it, please come back here to tell us about it as well; we'd love to hear it and share it.
This is the form described as an example of its use in the Lunar Mandala. In it, color is used to indicate the intensity of a chosen aspect (such as physical energy, extroversion, libido, etc.). On days when the aspects are present with little or no intensity, the corresponding ring remains blank; on days when they are present with medium intensity, the color is filled with light pressure; and on days when the intensity is high, the color is completely filled, occupying the entire corresponding space.
In this example, color legends are used as a line through the rings, and the intensity of each feature is represented by varying the thickness of the line.
An example in which the use of colors does not follow the delimitation of the rings, but rather overflows according to the quantity of each color's aspect, like contents in a glass, showing which feelings/aspects were most present at each moment.
Example of diagram used without color legend, only with icons.
This page is under construction. We're updating it with examples of how the community uses it. Therefore, we invite you to send us a photo of your Moon Mandala diagram along with a short text explaining how you complete it. This way, we can share your experience as inspiration for others.
Community Testimonials
Tais: She uses colors by intensity and experiments. She creates icons as events arise, using ink from the corresponding area (for example, sex in the sexuality color). She marks menstruation and ovulation, painting the lunar phases on the border. She monitors ovulation by recording basal temperature on a chart.
Lorena: Follow a similar scheme to the example shown in the Moon Mandala, but without intensities. Place symbols only after reflecting on whether they actually occurred. This way, you can see how many times the events occur. Also, note important events outside the circle for clarity.
Anonymous: He prefers to fill in small bars. He added a "feeling about the day" log. He discovered that a pleasant day depends not only on completed tasks, but also on strength, fatigue, mood, nutrition, etc.
Dôrali Tamalene: Use color scales for emotions and also icons for specific events that you consider important.
Beatriz Silva Groppa: She finds self-observation more effective with the Mandala. She uses simple legends (traffic light style) or icons to facilitate recording and maintain consistency.
Amanda Hazan: Busy life; she stopped coloring for practical reasons. She mapped emotions and habits to see how they emerged in the cycle. It was powerful for self-knowledge. Today, she no longer needs to do so in such detail, but she recommends that anyone starting out record as much as possible.
Vanessa Schieber: Complete the diagram using colored pens and three intensity levels (full = high, medium = intermediate, line = low). Place symbols at the top to avoid interfering with the reading. She's been using this method since 2019; she needs the clean diagram to analyze it.
Clara: Use symbols to record new or recurring events, and highlight the most notable ones with markers.
Juliana Morata: Follow the method suggested in the Lunar Mandala.
Barbara: He didn't adapt to symbols and colors; he found them confusing when reviewing. Now he writes words that summarize each day. He plans to use a few symbols (cramps, sinusitis, sexual intercourse, etc.).
