Mandalas

A Meditation Practice

What is it about the circular form and its compelling and frequent presence in the cosmos, in our earthly world, and in human culture? Observing its geometry from a symbolic standpoint, it comes clear that across time and history, the circle has been regarded as an image of wholeness, unity, integration, and completion.

The ritual process of making a mandala - the Sanskrit word for “sacred circle” - produces a container for processing fragmented and fractured feelings. It centers and soothes the soul and nervous system, and allows us to both embody the form and align our minds with a visual expression of what Jung described as "the God-image."

Mandala-making can be a valuable and important part of the therapy process. Let’s discuss how we can incorporate this into our sessions, into your creative and meditation practices, and into your process of spiritual growth. Mandalas are an easy, low pressure creative experience, requiring absolutely no artistic “skill” or training.
