Draw a Mandala

A fun drawing activity that also has deep cultural and historical meaning.

Description

Edit Edit

mandala is a geometric configuration of symbols.

The intricate patterns in various spiritual traditions, mandalas may be employed for focusing attention of practitioners and adepts, as a spiritual guidance tool, for establishing a sacred space and as an aid to meditation and trance induction.

Many people find drawing mandalas to be a very centering and expressive activity. To draw your own, sketch a template of concentric circles, and then play around with adding organic shapes and geometric patterns.
