Posted on November 2, 2009 Leave a Comment

Mandala literally means circle. Circles are meant as the powerful symbols in every religion and culture. Mandals are the sacred circles which are been used as facilatators in meditation and healing in several religions.

The Principle:

If you deeply observe the nature and working, you can relate much to this sacred circle: Mandala. Mandala can be seen everywhere in the nature. For example: galaxies, planets, moon, sun, even individual cells- all represent the mandala. Every mandala represents or symbolizes an aspect of the nature and the spirit. The energy in the mandala can be honed by meditation and the technique is called mandala meditation.

Here is the brief technique for Mandala Meditation:

• The first step is to find the mandala that represents your position. There are many types of mandalas, each meant for the specific purpose.
• Take the mandala and place that before you. Relax. Start focussing on the center of the mandala. As the energy of the mandala is centered, try to focus mainly in the center of the mandala.
• Breathe slowly. As you continue focussing you will notice a change in the colors of the mandala. You may also observe that the mandala is becoming brighter and brighter with your increasing focus.
• This means the mandala is working. Feel the energy flowing through the mandala. Open yourself to the energy and receive the energy pouring from the mandala.
• Once you feel this close your eyes. You can see that mandala appears in your eyes. Is it not amazing!
• Now watch it carefully and feel it as it pulsates. You can observe that the parts of mandala will brigthen then fade. Continue feeling the power of mandala flowing through you as you felt before, if not more intense than before.
• Now feel the soothness and calm yourself. If you are trying to heal some part of your body through the mandala meditation then concentrate on that part and allow the energy of the mandala flow through that part of the body.
• Check your healing. Once done slowly open your eyes. You will feel rejenuated. You can repeat this process as many times as you like.
