Calming and relaxing

Creating a mandala is a way to come closer to your true self. That's why most people find drawing mandala's a calming and relaxing activity. It is about playing with colours and shapes inside of a circle. This can give your mind some peace. Using the diverse colours and shapes we use in mandala's helps feed our souls. Oftentimes it makes us forget the time, which can be a wonderful relief from our busy lives.

Circles of life & sacred art

 

Mandala means circle or wheel in the old language Sanskrit. We can find mandala's in many cultures and in the many shapes that surround us in nature. Lots of sacred art originating from Hinduism and Buddhism is in the shape of a mandala.

 

Sand mandala & meditation

Tibetan Buddhism knows the so called sand mandala's. Initially the mandala was used here as an aid for meditation purposes and to picture the chakra's (energy centers in the human body) or the universe for instance. Mandala's can help with focusing attention.
