We find the Mandala, the basic form in the most complicated and impressive stuctures but also in the most simple ones. In our times the awareness of the Mandala can stimulate Creative thinking, concentration and center us to the point where it is quiet and still. The word Mandala is Sanskrit for whole world or healing circle.
Circles suggest wholeness, unity, the womb, completion and eternity.
They are used as tools for reconsecrating the earth and its inhabitants, and are formed of a traditional prescribed iconography that includes geometric shapes and a multitude of ancient spiritual symbols. In general, all Mandalas have outer, inner and secret meanings. The Mandala originates as art- and meditation form probably in ancient Tibet but the more we'll look the more we'll find them in ancient cultures all over our planet. We'll find them through the microscope looking at a snowflake, in the wheel of a bicycle and in the mysterious stone circles of Ancient Times. The Traditional Mandala is a complex design that is used in religious practice for meditation or contemplation.
