The practice of creating mandalas has an origin in the spiritual teachings of the Tibetan monks where it is used as a tool to harmonise different energies. They see mandalas as a diagram of the cosmos. In the East the mandala is used as a tool to help meditation and to further personal development. In the West the renowned psychologist Carl Jung became very interested in the practice of creating mandalas for its therapeutic and healing properties. He believed creating mandalas helped patients to make the unconscious conscious.

The Mandala is a symbol of both unity and perfection and allows man to connect his own energy with that of the universe. It’ an archetypal symbol of wholeness and a path to greater self-awareness. Since the earliest human civilisations the circle has been employed to

represent universal order and divine power.

To colour, contemplate or draw mandalas allows us to harmonise and centre ourselves and to re-establish order and equilibrium. It’ a form of actif meditation that brings calm, harmony inner peace and healing. Finally the Mandala puts us in contact with our own profound wisdom.

Mandalas allow us to connect naturally to what is. They remind us of the essence of our sacred being, magnificent and unified with everything. Exploring mandalas can help us discover the centre within ourselves.

Mandalas have the power to bring peace of mind, harmony to the body and tranquility to the spirit. To observe fascinating images with symmetrical beauty brings enjoyment and enlightenment to all people, from children to elders.
