Mandala in translation from Sanskrit means "center" or "circle". This is a symmetrical pattern, usually in the shape of a circle, with the center playing a major role. A compass, a snowflake, a human eye can be considered a mandala. In the east, for centuries, mandalas have been painted and used for meditation, concentration, transformation of consciousness and energy. It is believed that anyone can build their own mandala, and that it will work best for him.

Instructions
Step 1
Before drawing mandalas, familiarize yourself with the meanings of the different colors. Colors are important because they have their own frequency, they affect a person in different ways and are perceived by him. Keep in mind that your individual perception of colors may differ slightly from the generally accepted values. Think about what effect you want from the mandala, and based on this, decide on the color scheme.
Step 2
Draw a circle with the desired diameter. Divide the circle into 7 or more equal pieces. For example, you decided to make 9 sectors. Since the circle is 360 degrees, therefore, you need to mark points on the circle every 40 degrees, and then draw lines from the center to these points. The circle is now divided into 9 parts. As you gain experience, track how the perception of individual colors will change. This may indicate the elaboration of complexes in the relevant areas.
Step 3
While drawing, focus on the desired result, remember the purpose of the drawing - by this you charge the mandala for the desired action already in the process of creation.
Step 4
Symbols are often used in drawing mandalas. These can be drawings, images associated with your goal, esoteric symbolism. Experiment, use your imagination. Perhaps you want to build a mandala from geometric shapes - circles, triangles, squares. Maybe you decide to add images of animals or flowers. There are no restrictions, because your subconscious mind itself knows what will affect it in the best way.
