About Delia

My name is Delia Quigley. I own the publishing company StillPoint Schoolhouse Publications. Through my books, the art I create and the Mindful Mandala cards I partner with people open to transforming their lives.

Currently I am a professional writer, photographer, and photo artist. I am also the author of ten books on yoga, meditation, and healthful living. Following thirty-five years as a yoga instructor and nutritional counselor, I began StillPoint Schoolhouse Publications (SSP).

My life has been devoted to teaching knowledge I’ve gathered traveling the world. The Mindful Mandala cards are the culmination of my experiences and are my proudest accomplishment. They are a tool available to everyone, because they allow you to bypass the mental chatter and communicate with your inner self. The deeper part of you, the truth teller. 

The creation of these particular mandalas are mindfully created images potent with meaning and symbology. Fifty years in the making this powerful tool helps you answer important questions about any situation:

*What Challenges must I overcome?

*What inherent Tools do I have to assist me?

*What Actions can I take to overcome the Challenges?

What is a Mandala?

The word Mandala (pronunciation mon-dah-lah) means “circle.” A Mandala symbolizes the unbroken circle that is a diagram of the infinite universe extending outside of and within our mind-body. You will find the Mandala image in all aspects of life: the Earth, the Sun, the Moon, and, more obviously, the circles of life encompassing friends, family, and communities. 

What are the Mindful Mandala Cards?

The Mindful Mandala cards (MM cards), are a self inquiry tool to use for any situation, by anyone, for whatever reason. They provide immediate action to shift a negative situation in a positive direction.

Are they the same as Tarot cards?

No. Tarot cards are an esoteric form of divination with roots going back to the Egyptian god of wisdom. On the other hand, the MM cards allow you to inquire into the emotions that are influencing a situation you are unable to clarify. In so doing, you are provided a plan of Action, the recognition of what dark emotion is causing stress, and a reminder of your inherent positive qualities to assist in overcoming the Challenge.

How often  should I read the Mindful Mandala cards?

Make a habit of inquiring into your state of mind with the MM cards, at least once a day. A good time is before sitting in meditation but anytime you have a moment to sit quietly is recommended.

Why should I purchase a Mandala image?

When reading the Mindful Mandala cards certain Actions, Challenges, and Tools may show up that you will want to be conscious of on a daily basis. Have the Mandala images on display as a reminder to stay focused in the present moment.

Can I read the Mindful Mandala cards for someone else?

You should first read the blog, Reading the Cards. This way you have a clear understanding as to how to read the cards for yourself and others. If you are a professional therapist, yoga instructor, or counselor consider participating in a future workshop geared to your profession.

Can I use the Mandalas and cards with my meditation practice?

The Mandala can be an essential part of your awareness and meditation practice. Gazing upon the image helps to clear and still the mind allowing for a deeper reflection. Each Mandala is a unique assemblage of high vibrational photographs that resonate with an individual’s highest frequency. The combinations bring a distinctive energy and intensity to the Mandala and speak to you as a unique individual.
