Deer mandala Painting

Mandalas are circular designs with concentric shapes that radiate out symmetrically from the center. Originating in India, mandalas mean “sacred circles” in Sanskrit. They have universal spiritual significance and can be found in Buddhist temples, Muslim mosques, and Christian cathedrals around the world. In ancient Tibet, monks created intricate mandalas with colored sand made of crushed stones to use during their meditation practice. Well-known Swiss psychologist Carl Jung used the mandala for his own personal growth and also had his patients color mandalas a hundred years ago as a tool for relaxation and self-discovery.
