Mandala art

Mandala is a Sanskrit word that loosely translates to mean “circle” or “centre.”
Mandalas can be precise, carefully measured, geometric, and perfectly symmetrical, or in contrast, free flowing, organic, and asymmetrical.
In the Hindu and Buddhist traditions, mandalas are an object of meditation to aid in one’s spiritual development.
Mandalas in Nature:
Snowflakes, flowers, and shells… all examples of where mandalas show up in nature.
Personal Mandalas:
Carl J. Jung, Swiss psychiatrist introduced to the West the practice of creating mandalas for self-expression, discovery, and healing. In Jung’s daily practice of creating mandalas, he discovered that the shapes, colours, and symbols reflected his mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
