The use and ritual of using mandalas and labyrinths, or "sacred circles", facilitate the inward process of reflection and the outward process of reintegration and reconnecting within one's body, mind and soul. The circular shape offers a feeling of safety, containment, and closure while the path of the labyrinth offers a pathway to renewal and acceptance. We explore how art and meditation using mandalas and labyrinths becomes a bridge to understanding and a window to the soul.
Wow- that is awesome!
