Question Mandalas - how have you used them?

I love to create mandalas and I was wondering how you have used them. I would like to create more that are very specificly useful. It is fun to have a purpose
Do you colour them in? Meditate on them? Put words into them? What do you aim to get from the experience? Do you have any unusual uses for them?

This is very interesting.

What are the benefits when you create mandalas?

You can stare at them while meditating. Can give you a hell of a ride, much cheaper than taking funny pills!

If you have some really psychedelic ones, can you upload one, Karen?

I don't know about psychedelic, but this is one I made in black and white for colouring in and then coloured it in
If you like the idea, you can download 8 of my free mandalas to colour in here: Free Mandala Colouring Pages I love creating them! I particularly love seeing what other people do with them!! If you do get them - please do show me what you create!!

The benefits of creating mandalas? For me the benefit is just the joy of creating! I love to work with shapes and lines and get a real kick out of the creativity. I asked the question above 'cos I am sure there are people out there who get totally different benefits and use them as tools for things I have never thought of. I would like to know more!

What you get out of those mandalas could depend on your current mood.

Oh, I just let google do the work. There are lots of cool mandalas online.

But that's a really cool one, isn't it? It can show you how mind works... suddenly seeing things that aren't really there.

Good point!

Does your mandala has a message? Or did that just happen while you were in the flow?
