Mandala art is a therapeutic and a sacred art form. "Mandala" is a sanskrit word which means circle. It is an ancient art form and has been widely practiced throughout the world irrespective of any religion. It is a soulful art, and by practicing it in our day to day life it brings in positivity both within ourselves, as well as in our surroundings. It helps in both physical and mental well being.
It’s all about finding peace in the symmetry of the design. In the process of mandala artwork, you feel much calmer and more peaceful and your breathing and heartbeat slow down.
What is a Mandala? A mandala is a symbol of the universe in its ideal form, and its creation signifies the transformation of a universe of suffering into one of joy. It can also be used as an aid to meditation, helping the meditator to envision how to achieve the perfect self.
In their most basic form, mandalas are circles contained within a square and arranged into sections that are all organized around a single, central point. They can be found produced on paper or cloth, drawn on a surface with threads, fashioned in bronze, or built in stone. While extraordinary as a standalone work of art, mandalas hold symbolic and meditative meaning beyond their vibrant appearance.
Healing mandalas are intuitive, and they are made for the purpose of meditation. Healing mandalas are intended to deliver wisdom, evoke feelings of calm, and channel focus and concentration.
