The tradition of healing or
sacred circles shows itself in parallels through out centuries of
time. It is a powerful symbolism whether seen in the grains of colored
sand carefully placed by Tibetan Monks or the Medicine Wheels constructed by American Natives.
In Jungian Psychology,
the Mandala or magic circle is visualized in dreams symbolizing the
dreamer's striving for unity of self and completeness.
In his book "The Western
Mandala", Adam Mc Clean writes: "Mandalas can be seen as keys that unlock
the mysteries of our soul's architecture. If we choose to use them in this
way, they can lead us deep into the mysteries of our inner world."
These artists have gifted their work for you to
journey, reflect and enjoy. Below are links to their websites if you wish

realize that all of us exist in a chrysalis of conditioning and belief,
and that in any holy second we can choose to break out of that chrysalis
and exist in a space of glory and peace.

Mandalas have outer, inner and
secret meanings. On the outer level they represent the world in its divine
form; on the inner level they represent a map by which the ordinary human
mind is transformed into enlightened mind.
