What is a mandala? Wikipedia says: “ A mandala (Sanskrit for "circle") is a geometric, usually circular, symbolic pattern representing the universe, wholeness, and the cosmos in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Shinto. They act as spiritual, meditation, and, or ritual tools, with intricate, symmetrical designs organized around a central point to aid, focusing attention and promoting, inner, peace.”
For those of us that do not have an Eastern belief system background, we recognize the circle, the design of the circle, as the circle of life, or of the Universe design of completeness. It resonates with us.
Sometimes, you find a mandala (a spiritual symbol) that resonates for you so loudly that you can hardly hear. The symbol may be quite specific or it may be filled with indefinite shapes. Whatever the layout, there is “something” in it that helps you focus and to become balanced.
A mandala may be used to set and hold sacred space for something, or, for clearing, if the mandala is highly regarded. It may be what helps you find your center in meditation.
This is the day that you start looking for your mandala, if you do not have one.
