What is a mandala?

A mandala is an abstract design that is usually circular in form.  Mandala is a Sanskrit word that means "circle". Mandalas generally have one identifiable center point, from which emanates an array of symbols, shapes and forms.

• Mandalas can contain both geometric and organic forms. They can also contain recognizable images that carry meaning for the person who is creating it.

• Mandalas represent the connection between our inner worlds and outer reality. Designing your own mandalas can be both inspirational and therapeutic.

• When you create your own mandala, think of it as an echo of your soul.

• Drawing and coloring a mandala can be a highly enriching personal experience in which you look inside yourself and find the shapes, colors and patterns to represent anything from your current state of mind to your most deeply-desired wish for yourself, for a loved one, or for humanity.

 

You can design a mandala to symbolize a state of mind that you would like to achieve. Mandalas are great tools for meditation and increasing self-awareness. Many different cultures around the world use mandalas in their spiritual practices.

 

The best thing about designing your own mandala is that you have the freedom to choose whatever shapes and colors that you feel express your sense of self.
