Mandala is a Sanskrit word meaning "circle". My interest for mandalas was sparked when reading about
Hildegard of Bingen. I discovered that after seeing her visions she often
painted them as mandalas. I had no idea what a mandala was, and so did some
research on the internet. I learned about the sand mandalas of the Tibetan
Buddhist monks and was fascinated. I also discovered that mandalas are used
extensively in healing and wholeness ministries. I found many beautiful images
and became captivated by the fact that mandalas are at the heart of creation.
Meanwhile, in my own personal journey I was contemplating
engaging in an activity that was a little playful and more creative. I
considered different arts and crafts, but on discovering mandalas decided to
engage with them more deeply.I began playing with mandalas in my own quiet days and reflective moments.
