I started the 100 Mandalas Challenge to
explore the creative possibilities within
a circle and discovered so much more:
creating mandalas is a powerful tool for
relaxing, healing, and cultivating joy. When Im not creating
mandalas, I enjoy collage and art journaling, photography,
and Ikebana (Japanese Flower arranging). I live in New
England with my Brazilian husband, Fernando and son Loki.

What is a mandala?
The word mandala in Sanskrit loosely means circle or center. The mandala can be
found in a wide range of religious and philosophical traditions particularly Buddhism.
Carl S. Jung, Swiss psychoanalyst introduced the use of mandalas as a tool for
understanding ones inner landscape of ideas and feelings. In his own daily practice
of drawing mandalas, he explored how the drawings helped him to better understand
and integrate his life stories.
Jung wrote:
I sketched every morning in a notebook a small circular drawing,...which seemed to
correspond to my inner situation at the time...Only gradually did I discover what the
mandala really is...the Self, the wholeness of the personality, which if all goes well is
harmonious. - Carl Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections, pp 195-196.
In working with his patients, Jung had them draw mandalas. Often these drawings
helped the patient to express themselves at times when finding the words was a
challenge. Once these emotions are drawn out onto the page, they become unlocked.
As you sit down to color these mandalas watch your thoughts and feelings. Consider
the center of the mandala as representing you and as you work your way to the edge
consider the relationships in your life and the world at large. What connections
emerge?
