MANDALAS


Mandala means circle in Sanskrit. This word is also known as wheel and all. Beyond its definition as a word, from the spiritual point of view es un centro energético de equilibrio y purificación que ayuda a transformar el entorno y la mente. También se le define como un sistema ideográfico contenedor de un espacio sagrado.

Los mandalas son utilizados desde tiempos remotos. Tienen su origen en la India y se propagaron en las culturas orientales, en las indígenas de América y en los aborígenes de Australia. En la cultura occidental, fue Carl G. Jung, quien los utilizó en terapias con el objetivo de alcanzar la búsqueda de individualidad en los seres humanos. Jung solía interpretar sus sueños dibujando un mándala diariamente, en esta actividad descubrió la relación que éstos tenían with its center and from there developed a theory about the structure of the human psyche.

According to Carl Jung, mandalas represent the totality of mind, covering both the conscious and the unconscious. He stated that the archetype of these drawings is firmly anchored in the collective subconscious.

Mandalas are also defined as a cosmological diagram which can be used for meditation. It consists of a series of concentric geometric forms arranged in different visual levels. The most basic forms used are: circles, triangles, squares and rectangles. These

Figures can be created in a two-dimensional or three dimensional. For example, in India there are a large number of temples made in the form of mandalas. The designs are varied, but maintained similar characteristics: a content center and cardinal points in circles and arranged with a certain symmetry.

According to psychology, the mandala represents the human being. Interacting with them helps to heal the psychic and spiritual fragmentation, to express your creativity and re connect with your essential being. It's like starting a journey into your heart, it opens doors previously unknown and calls forth your inner wisdom. Integrate them into your life you will center and a sense of calm amid the storm.
