Rebecca, “Why a Mandala? I just like what they symbolise”

Mandala is a Sanskrit word  meaning circle. It is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the Universe.

In various spiritual traditions, mandalas may be employed for focusing attention of practitioners and adepts, as a spiritual guidance tool, for establishing a sacred space, and as an aid to meditation and trance induction.

In common use, mandala has become a generic term for any diagram, chart or geometric pattern that represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically; a microcosm of the universe.
