Mandala art has been used throughout the world for self-expression, spiritual transformation, and personal growth.
Mandala is the ancient Sanskrit word for circle and is seen by Tibetans as a diagram of the cosmos. It is used by Native Americans in healing rituals and in Christian cathedrals the labyrinth is a mandalic pattern used as a tool for meditation. An archetypal symbol of wholeness, the mandala was used as a therapeutic art tool by psychologist Carl Jung, who believed creating mandalas helped patients to make the unconscious conscious.
Joseph Campbell brought mandalas to the public's attention in 'The Power Of Myth' (1988): "In working out a mandala . . . you draw a circle and then think of the different impulse systems and value systems in your life . . . Making a mandala is a discipline for pulling all those scattered aspects of your life together, finding a center."
This book provides insights into the significance of mandalas and helps you to use them as a path to greater self-awareness.
