The Mandala

The word Mandala is a Sanskrit word loosely translated to mean “circle” but its meaning is far greater than a simple shape. It represents “wholeness” and like other sacred “wheels” can be seen to symbolically (and in some forms literally) contain all of creation.
The Mandala depicts sacred space and is a powerful tool of transformation. Most often the Mandala is a visual and graphic art form used for meditation and at the heart of its teaching it asks us to bring the lessons we learn in meditation back to our daily lives – back to our relationships with ourselves and each other.
