Our Iris Mandala process during the advanced Iridology training at the School of Natural Medicine carries students through profound evolution as they explore their physical, emotional, social, mental and spiritual realities through the lens of the iris in relationship to their life. They joy, wonder, awe and beauty of the process is expressed in their their mandalas and their experience.
We also had a beuatiful serviing of Saudi coffee, graciously blended with saffron, cardamon, ginger and other spices by Lamia.
DILA: As a Medical professional of over 20 years, I questioned why analysis of the inner organs were by tongue, sclera, and skin but never with the iris? Then I studied Iridology and learned about how the irises tell us about our body systems, organs and constitution. In advanced Iridology II, I learned that emotional events at certain ages were associated with my health issues, and that iris signs all have emotional resonances. At first I did not feel confident to express all this in the Iris Mandala as I was convinced all my life I was not creative. After looking at my iris photo as I listened to the beautiful songs of Deva Premal, I released my feelings as I remembered my past life and slowly put together in a most beautiful creative way, the elements, structures, colors and shapes of my irises into a mandala. I can’t wait to show it to my children!”
LAMIA: “I thought I had Iridology figured out! even before I had taken classes! BOY WAS I WRONG! But I was not too far off..thank goodness! Iridology I was a nice introduction and I really got it! I thought I could rule the world by reading eyeballs!! WOHOO! Then I had my second class and my only thoughts were ‘YAY we are going to make beautiful mandalas!’ and all I need for class is a jar of courage and creativity! Then we learned about psychological and spiritual Iridology and the Rayid Model and Time Risk. Reality began to poke me slowly into place and made me realize I need way more than a jar! Probably a giant sponge to absorb all the information....but I wont let that get me down because it is just my way of processing information. Practice and experience will help me through. Bring on the eye balls!!!”
OLIVIA: “I had so much fun making the iris mandala, I didn’t want the class to end as the more I learned, the more I wanted to add to it. When we learned about psychological and spiritual Iridology, and then the Rayid Model, t was like looking at the iris from a new dimension and when we learned about Time Risk, it made every special moment in our life have its own place in the mandala. It was really special learning first through our own irises as we understood ourselves in order to understand others. I had an amazing time. It was truly beautiful.”
NATALIA: “Making the iris mandalas helped me process the psychological and spiritual Iridology teachings as it created a movement of energy within me that took me to a whole new level of experience. I now view the irises with a whole new light. It amazes me how beautiful and perfect the iris maps out or life. I am so grateful to have been part of this class.”
LUISA: “I started my iris mandala with the right iris and at first the process went well and then slowly came to a stop as I started thinking too much about what others may think and what everyone else in the class was doing. I sat back and thought how close this applied to my life and old patterns. So I just left my iris mandala and waited till the next day. As we got more into the teachings, my life unfolded as if I was seeing it for the first time and everything came together. When I went back to work on my mandala, I stared at my left iris and then without thinking this beautiful world of my left iris unfolded before me as I worked with joy . It felt so good as if I had found my self. I am going to take the feeling with me and apply it to my everyday life!” The last day Luisa transformed the right iris to full beauty and strength.
DANIEL: “There are things about my iris that I just cannot hide, and there are aspects of my being that I cannot deny. Diving deeper into my iris, I seemed to unravel the mysteries of who I was. It was as though I never knew who I was until this class. It is not just the physical, but understanding how constitutions work and shape our personality and who we are as people was something that I really came to terms with. I understood certain behavior patterns in past relationships, truly acknowledging what I felt during the trials and tribulations of these relationships and of course how I wrecked these relationships. Hugely enlightening was the Time Risk factor. How dos a predetermined iris pattern correlate to events that occur in our lives? My irises showed exactly when events, traumatic or not, occurred and how it affected my physical being. But then there’s future markings in my constitution...what the universe has in store, no one knows...but my iris seems to!!!
HAYLEY: “I deeply enjoyed diving into creativity as it is something my soul craves. Gathering my inner child to explore what my irises truly are and creating my iris mandala was a journey to get to know myself on so many levels. Where to start?At first I was hesitant and then it just poured out, like my soul had been waiting to be asked this question and given this task for ages. It has been a time of integration of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual into my understanding of my irises. I now feel a deeper connection with every marking it shows us as it is a model for our life journey, past, present and future, a tool to help guide us through our time on this earth and beyond. What an honor to gain the knowledge of such a sacred understanding.”
