When you are ready to transform,
a Mandala is destined to find You!
Through the course of my life, I’ve discovered that the mechanism of finding the truth is in surrendering, Mandala Art is one such way of giving in and listening to your inner voice, to find answers to those difficult questions that your mind seeks to unravel.
-Shan JainA Mandala (मंडाला or man- dah- lah) in Sanskrit “ is a compound word derived from “manda”, which means "essence," and “la”, meaning "container". And hence each Mandala art painting has an essence contained within it.
A Mandala signifies the view of the divine world within you. A Mandala is a ‘complete picture’ which dares your Self to follow it to the next level, then another until you reach full awakening! When you seek personal transformation, a mandala seeks you out.
A Mandala represents the centre point from which everything began and the boundary is the central dot magnified or expanded to represent the Infinite Inside you & is a picture of the process of Individuation. These two aspects of a Mandala represent the connection between our deep inner self and our outer world, which exists simultaneously.
A Mandala indicates a profound re-balancing transformation is underway in the psyche. Its appearance or the urge to make Mandalas emerges during moments of intense personal growth. They guide us into our mental, emotional & spiritual state of being. The result of the process is a more aware and better-integrated personality.
Simply put, a mandala is a design, drawing or painting within a circle holding the essence of a story – Our Story — about our mental, emotional and spiritual state of being.
Since the early centuries BC, Mandala art has been used throughout the world as a process of self-expression, in the service of personal growth and spiritual transformation.Many cultures including Buddhists, Tibetans, and Hindus have vouched for a Mandala’s captivating beauty and it’s intrinsic meaning. The Buddhists particularly linked their Mandalas to maps of the universe within each individual.
Psycho-analyst Carl Jung further, called it “a representation of the unconscious self.”
He used to draw one every day to check into himself. He believed that the Mandala was reflective of the way he felt about himself at that moment.
A Mandala holds the Infinite Inside you & is a picture of the process of Individuation… Mandala Art is an Art that Manifests and Heals.
“The urge to make Mandalas emerges during moments of intense personal growth. Their presence indicates a profound re-balancing process.
I make Mandalas with a Purpose or an Intention”
