The mandala is an ancient art form that mirrors the beauty, symmetry and holistic unity of the Universe. Its form is abundant in nature from atoms and flowers to stars and galaxies. Although the mandala is best known for its use in Hindu and Buddhist spiritual practice, it is revered everywhere from Native American to Mayan societies, Celtic to African, South Pacific to Asian. It is truly the spiritual art of the Universe. Traditionally viewed as a diagram of a sacred palace or temple, the mandala represents our journey through life, our sacred quest for that inner point of stillness and connection to the universal spirit. It is a symbol of the peace hidden within us, and the key to discovering it. The mandala is an image far older even than Humanity itself. It is the imprint of the Universe upon our spirit, and a powerful diagram of our intimate connection to the world around us. By identifying your Self with its central point, you see that everything around you exists in interconnected waves of cause and effect, in a cosmic pattern of which you are an integral part. Inwardly, the mandala anchors you as the central point of your psychological identity surrounded by the chaotic circumstances of your life. In both instances, the mandala offers a place of peace and self-discovery amid the chaos of the world.
