Mandala Meditation

A mandala is a circular shape, containing various shapes and patterns, that is said to represent the universe. Mandalas can be intricate or simple, and, have a rich history as a focus point in meditation practise. 

Coloring-in a mandala for half an hour is a delicious way to meditate. You can print out a ready-made mandala from the internet, or draw your own using a compass and a ruler, or even a glass from the kitchen cupboard. 

I’m no visual artist by any stretch of the imagination, and it doesn’t matter one bit. In fact, I’ve found NOT being an artist helps me to enjoy the simple task of filling a mandala with color. It’s not about what the mandala looks like at the end, or how long it takes. It’s about letting go, allowing your grown-up self to color in, draw, and be focused on something silly and fun. 

Why not mix up your meditation practise with something a little different and give it a go?
