Under the Getting Started section of each course, members will find additional materials and helpful information.� This week I am enjoying the Understanding | Mandalas, Mantras, Mudras course.� In the Getting Started video, Rev. Jon discusses the book listed in the bibliography as well as some additional sources including essays he has written.� There are also ties into film and other mediums as a way to communicate an emotional truth.� This is such a wonderful primer before embarking on the lectures.� I know I�m excited to dive into this course to hear more about mandalas, mantras, and mudras!�

Mudra, Sanskrit Mudr?, (�seal,� �mark,� or �gesture�)

In Buddhism and Hinduism, a mudra is a symbolic gesture of the hands and fingers used either in ceremonies, dance, or artwork.

Don�t forget to peek at the links in the various lectures as well.� Did you take the �Test Your Listening Skill� quizzes under the Origins | Deep Listening - An Essential Skill course?� These hands-on activities really bring home the points made in the course and enriches the overall learning experience.�
