Mandalas
A Mandala is a symbolic object from the classic Sanskrit language
meaning circle. While it can have many meanings, the
Mandala is thought to stand for wholeness. Mandala
is of Hindu origin, but is also used
in many cultures/religions such as Buddhism, Native American,
Celtic, Judaism, African, Asian, Christian, Islam, and
Polynesian. They are
becoming more widely accepted as a healing tool in medicine. Research shows that coloring, creating, or viewing
Mandalas can be meditative, creative, and stress reducing.
These websites contain Mandala displays that you can enjoy, print,
