Mandala Meditation Guide

When we are experiencing high levels of stress and anxiety, stillness can be hard to find. Meditation becomes difficult due to restless energy. 

We can’t concentrate. Our minds are open to distraction. Our thoughts are moving too quickly for us to slow down. 

Repetitive actions can help us focus and prime our mind for meditation. We can sync our mind with body through action, such as chanting or movement or breath. It helps our mind to detach from thinking. The key is the repetition. With each repetition, your mind falls into a trance in rhythm with the action. Whatever thoughts and ideas your mind clings to will fall away. 

That’s why I created a Mandala Meditation Guide. The repetition of mark marking can help our minds slow down and focus on our breath acting as a meditation or preparing our mind for meditation.

about mandalas

A mandala is a symmetrical geometric pattern originating from a central point. 

Mandalas are spiritual symbols across many different cultures from Asian to Native American. In Hindu and Buddhist cultures, they serve as instruments of meditation and symbols of prayer. Mandala means “circle” or “center” in Sanskrit.

mandala as meditation

Tibetan monks use mandala creation as a form of meditation. They carefully craft intricate designs using colored sand. Some designs can take weeks of work. After completion, they destroy it to symbolize the impermanence of life.
