Relieve your Stress with Mandala Art

"Mandalas are circular, usually symmetrical designs that create a center of focus. They can be made of paper, mosaic, sand, clay or just about any medium. Many mandalas occur naturally-such as flowers, the sun, sliced vegetables, snowflakes & pools of water. In the East, mandalas depict philosophical & spiritual insight & are used as a tool of meditation. In the West, the benefits of mandalas were first recognized by the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung. He saw them as a symbol of "the inner process by which individuals grow toward fulfilling their potential for wholeness & resolving conflicts." Through his own work, he recognized them as an extension of the person creating them. This is why circles have come to represent wholeness or completion, & are a fundamental structure of our identity."
