More on Mandalas
Mandala’s are sacred pieces of artwork which are used to evoke healing, spiritual development and meditation. The word Mandala means ‘sacred circle’ and is derived from the word ‘mandra’ which means ‘container of essence’. This circle or ‘container of essence’ is said to represent wholeness, health, connection, unity, harmony and the cycle of life. It is also said to symbolize being one with life, going with the flow and reflecting inward.

There is also rich symbolism to all of the lines, patterns and markings in a mandala and many psychologists, including Carl Jung have studied the sacred meaning and healing potential of Mandala’s.

It is believed that when you create, color or look at a Mandala, especially one that you have created, that you are silently programming the mind to take on the essence of oneness or completion.

Meditating upon the Mandala is also believed to help you enter into the rich symbolism of the artwork and decode the messages that you need to take away from the Mandala.

Jung also used Mandala’s as a tool for healing and even instructed individuals to create their own. He discovered that the symbols from the Mandala’s were able to be subconsciously absorbed into the individuals mind, bringing about healing and self-reflection.

“It became increasingly plain to me that the Mandala is the center. It is the exponent of all paths. It is the path to the center, to individuation.”- Jung

The very nature of creating a mandala is healing and symbolic. The shapes and colors you create in your mandala art will reflect your inner self. Your instinct and feeling should inspire and guide you through the process of creation. Ultimately, you will be creating a portrait of yourself and the issue you are wanting to shift and transform. When creating the mandala and employing the mandala art process to shift and transform your inner story and pattern you will be able to witness where you begin and the path for transformation open. All of it will be represented and present in your mandala art creating process.
