What are Mandalas?

Mandalas are known in many areas of the world as powerful spiritual symbols. Creating a mandala is a practice of meditation - in reality, this means quietening the mind and drawing intuitively on a theme to see what appears. A completed mandala can also be used for the viewer to meditate on, whether intentionally or just by getting lost in the patterns. It is said that a mandala’s unity and balance can have a centring or calming effect on our mind and body, which is perhaps why they are so appealing in today’s stressful world. I like that my mandalas can mean something different to everyone who views them, depending on what symbols they see and what the underlying theme means to them.
