Healing Art - Mandalas

By Phylameana lila Desy, About.com Guide

Mandala is a sanskrit word meaning "circle" or "encircle." The mandala symbolizes the cycle of life. Not all mandalas are circular, but they are traditionally symmetrical, tapping into the wisdom behind sacred geometry. Mandalas themselves, also images of mandalas, can be used as transformational or mediative tools.

Mandalas can be displayed as beautiful pieces of art in your home. But, they serve a larger purpose. Place them in sacred spaces as a shield to keep negative energies from entering. Creating your own mandala can be healing in of itself, allowing you to go inward and awaken your senses.
