About Mandalas
The word Mandala stems from Sanskrit and means “holy circle” or “magic ring”, “wheel”, “center”, or “that which is the essence.”
It appears that wanting to make a Mandala often derives from a “holy” (in the sense “to make whole”) need to do so.
Mandalas are expressions of our innate need for wholeness and unity.
The word Mandala (Mandara in Japanese) in the Japanese Shingon Buddhism, means: “that which contains the essence”.
The Mandala is the nectar, the temple, as it contains in one place all the powers of enlightened truth.
Medicine wheel: The circle is the Universe, the Circle is also the mirror of the human being, and each person is again the mirror of every other.
Why Create a Mandala?
Because it has the regenerative and curative power to activate the latent powers of the mind. The meditative process helps to focus and open the heart to the healing power of unconditional love.
Because it has a calming and relaxing effect on the mind and body, thus focusing and strengthening the will to heal.
Because it can bring joy as it facilitates the healing of a sense of psychological fragmentation.
Because it can make invisible visible - expressing paradoxical situations or patterns of ultimate reality that can be expressed in no other way.
Because it can reveal unity between human existence and the structure of the cosmos– opening up a perspective in which things can be understood as a whole.
Because it can give form and expression to an intuitive insight into spiritual truth by releasing the inner light of the soul.
“I did a workshop with Mariana’s loving and professional guidance a few years ago to connect with my own healing mandala. After a deep meditation, the images appeared that allowed me to create the mandala that I still have today and that continues to inform me about who I am.
Realicé con la guía amorosa y profesional de Mariana un taller hace algunos años para conectar con el mandala de sanación propio. Después de una profunda meditación aparecieron las imágenes que me permitieron crear el mandala que aún hoy conservo y me sigue informando acerca de quién soy.”
