Mandala Art Meditation Why work with mandalas?


Mandalas comes from the ancient Sanskrit language meaning scared circle and have been used by a variety of cultures as a tool for making a deeper journey within.
 
 
There is something profound about creating in a circle, a window to your inner self the beauty of being in touch with body mind and emotions, allowing for growth and exploration. Many People use mandalas for meditation and contemplation and within healing and therapy. Carl Jung referred to a mandala as “the psychological expression of the totality of the self”. The mandala has come to represent a great source of reflection on one’s inner state of being as well as helping to reconnect with self and others.
Why not create your own state of awareness in the form of a sacred circle, this is a wonderful way to balance and align.  Find a quiet space sit quietly and breathe deeply to relax yourself.  Draw a small circle, use paints, pens coloured pencils and express, work quickly to bypass rational thoughts and do not worry about the neatness. The shapes colours symbols that you create in your mandala will reflect your inner state, expressing your feelings and emotions in that snapshot of time.
 If you are looking to relieve stress and gain clarity and make a deeper connection come and join a workshop in Mandala healing art Meditation we have regular classes central London.
