Mandala - The Healing Circle

The Mandala is a circular colour healing tool used for divining, healing and meditation dating back to ancient times.

In Sanskrit, the ancient language of India, mandala means 'sacred circle'. Hindus, Tibetan Buddhist Monks & Native American Indians all use mandalas as a way of evoking spiritual energy, meditation & healing. Carl Jung used mandalas with his clients & for his own personal growth; his studies revealed their creation allowed a deep healing to take place from within the human psyche.

Mandalas exist naturally within nature; they can be seen in snowflakes, shells, water, tree, trunks and flowers.

The circle, a symbol of wholeness, is a stress-less form that represents unity, harmony & the cycle of life; this circular shape helps us to focus inwards. Colouring a mandala will allow you to work with colour and unlock deep-seated emotions and explore your unconcious thoughts and feelings. The experience of colouring in a mandala is very powerful & transformational & can be enhanced by listening to carefully chosen music.

A qualified colour therapist may read the mandala by looking at each colour chosen in relation to one another & the overall feel of the circle. Often no words are necessary as healing takes place through the process of focusing on the circle & choosing the colours that you are drawn to.

Mandalas are an exciting and informative tool to work with, they are an integral part of the Colours of the Soul colour therapy course and we will be offering workshops exclusively on mandalas for your benefit.
