The essence of the Oriental Mandala, is now also used to a more Western way. The Oriental Mandala is a true cosmic blueprint and the West more personal. The symbols and colors we indicate how we at the moment in life. This allows you focus on your home or receive Mandala meditation.
Shows, embroidery, painting or dancing within the space of the infinite circle contact with our own inner core. The core of all our oerweten present, our own connection. All life forms from the origin, all qualities are present. As a seed all properties to a large cherry tree to grow, it is the environment where the seed down, and growing up, whether or not the total development area. The core of the Mandala is the seed with all its qualities, the area to the circle edge symbolizes the space to grow, the circle indicates the limit of developing the potential of the seed, but also its infinity. If the flower or the tree is grown will die, food for the earth and to new life.
This idea is by creating a Mandala made contact with your core, your strength present location. It worked within the area of the circle, or from the core with the energy of different movements, shapes and colors. Everything with its own universal significance and personal value. Although we sometimes appear due to daily events are no longer in contact with our liaison in us, everything that happens has its reason and unconsciously, we know this.
Mandala and its sign applications
For Mandala Drawing using everything inspires us. Nature everything grows and flourishes, the architecture with its magnificent rose windows, minerals and their crystal-like growth patterns, the planets, the spiral movement, with its vibrant human connection and the flow of emotions. Different cultures contribute their artistic expressions of the spiritual essence-Mandala for instance, Indian motifs, Buddhist sand mandalas, sacred dances of the Aborigines and Celtic braiding. This also serves as the inspiration of the Mandala Drawing.
As mentioned earlier, you can in many ways involved in making Mandala such as: embroidery, painting, pasting, stained glass etc. I prefer to sign it themselves, because working with a color pencil calls special attention and space to individual interpretation. You can use color pencil very soft, but firm up. By mixing colors again created beautiful new colors.
Mandala's are
When you are creating a Mandala is first used distributions, help lines and circles. They are using a compass and a ruler put on paper. Below you go with color pencil give. These can be mirrored forms, static or dynamic rosette, but also flower motifs, crystal, free movements, Celtic wicker etc. All with its own energy. Before you end your Mandala is spontaneously chosen to paint with colors, you get the help away. After the paint you a beautiful gift to yourself.
