A mandala maybe a complex abstract design that's usually circular in form. In fact, "mandala" may be a Sanskrit word meaning "circle". Mandalas generally have one identifiable centre point, from which emanates an array of symbols, shapes, and forms.

Mandalas can contain both geometric and organic forms. They will also contain recognizable images that carry meaning for the one that is creating it.

In essence, mandalas represent the connection between our inner worlds and outer reality. Designing your own mandalas are often both inspirational and therapeutic.

You can design a mandala to symbolize a state of mind that you simply would like to realize. Mandalas are great tools for meditation and increasing self-awareness. Many cultures round the world use mandalas in their spiritual practices.

The best thing about designing your own mandalas is that you simply have the liberty to settle on whatever shapes and colours that you feel to express.
