Mandalas: More than pretty circles

Mandalas: More than pretty circles

Paola Seguel

Who hasn't been mesmerized at some point watching those circular figures full of complex patterns and vibrant colors? We are talking about mandalas, an artistic technique that is much more than a simple drawing.

The word "mandala" comes from Sanskrit and means "sacred circle". But don't worry, you don't need to be an expert in mysticism to enjoy them. In the end, it's an intuitive and therapeutic art form that anyone can practice.

A journey from the inside out

Creating a mandala is an incredibly personal process. You start with a dot in the center and, from there, you build the universe of your design outwards. There are no hard and fast rules; The idea is to let your hand flow and let your creativity speak. Looking for calm? Maybe you're leaning toward symmetrical patterns and cool colors. Need an energy boost? Perhaps freedom will lead you to use irregular shapes and vivid tones.

The benefit is not only in the final result, but in the path you travel. It is a time to disconnect from the outside noise and connect with yourself. A few minutes a day spent drawing a mandala can be your little meditation, a mental break that helps you organize your ideas and find tranquility.

Do you dare to create your own mandala?

You don't need to be a professional artist, just want to explore your creativity. Take a pencil, a piece of paper, and start drawing. You will see that each line and each pattern brings you to a state of calm and concentration.

Putting fear aside and simply getting started is the first step. Can you imagine transforming a simple circle into a piece that reflects your own inner world? The magic of mandalas is precisely that: to create something beautiful and unique with your own hands.

We invite you to try it! Explore your inner creativity and discover what you can achieve.
