Mandala therapy, Mindfulness, Self-expression, Spiritual connection, Cognitive engageAbstract
Mandala therapy, derived from ancient spiritual and cultural traditions, utilizes intricate geometric patterns known as mandalas to promote physical and mental wellness. Rooted in the Sanskrit word for “circle”, mandalas symbolize unity and wholeness. This therapy encompasses mindfulness, self-expression, spiritual connection, and cognitive engagement to nurture holistic well-being. By creating and coloring mandalas, individuals enter a meditative state that induces relaxation, reduces stress, and fosters emotional release. Through this process, they gain insight into their emotions and experiences, enhancing emotional resilience and self-awareness. Moreover, mandalas symbolize unity with the universe, fostering inner peace and spiritual well-being. Additionally, mandala therapy enhances cognitive function, improving focus, concentration, and problem-solving skills. Overall, mandala therapy offers a multifaceted approach to well-being, empowering individuals to cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves and leading to enhanced resilience and fulfillment.
