“The portal of healing and creativity always takes us into realm of the spirit

Cultivating holistic creative consciousness infuses life with a deeper joy and sense of purpose. And learning how to draw Mandala will not only boost the inner artist of yours or will allow you to learn some new art form but will make you more self-aware and conscious.

Creative Practice can help us connect the inner and outer experiences that will make us feel better in today’s world of stress and workload. Sometimes people feel words are enough to express your inner thoughts but it's not true. Because things happen that are too monumental, too confusing, or too full of pain or beauty to put to words.

And to express such feelings and explore the realm of wholeness, people study and draw Mandalas. Mandalas tap into the creative right brain processes that move us through things in fresh and often surprising ways. Mandalas help us shift into a more mindful space where the words spinning through our minds are silenced for a while and the real wisdom can speak.

Drawing Mandala

“It feels so nurturing to me — like my soul is starving for this kind of thing, and I finally get to feed it what it wants,” — Mandala Artist

As in the previous blogs we mentioned about What is Mandala and The World of Mandalas, it must be clear by now how important and valuable is this art form.

Create your own mandala

Drawing a mandala can seem very strenuous and difficult at first, but it’s actually the opposite. The intricate look of a mandala comes from following a rhythm, which turns a little effort into a stunning result. Sure, you can treat it as a normal drawing, with a certain goal in mind, but you can gain more than just the satisfaction of a pretty artwork if you do it properly. Treat it as a meditation session. Sit comfortably, in quiet or with some pleasant music, and focus on this one activity.

When you draw a Mandala, listen to the sound of your soul. The whole experience of drawing is very enriching and thought-provoking. At first, this will sound astonishing but this is the reality. Drawing Mandalas adds to your personal experience in which you look inside yourself and find the shapes, colors, and patterns to represent anything from your current state of mind to your most deeply-desired wish for yourself, for a loved one, or for humanity.
