What is a mandala? From Matthew’s website, www.freehandmandala.com :

A Mandala (Sanskrit for circle) is an artistic representation of higher thought and deeper meaning given as a geometric symbol used in spiritual, emotional or psychological work to focus one’s attention. The mandala image has been used by cultures around the world since the first century BCE. While the details of the meaning of a specific mandala depend upon the individual creating or observing the image, mandalas in every culture serve the similar purpose of centering an individual or community on a given narrative in order to encourage introspection and ultimately, an awareness of one’s place and purpose in the world; this awareness then allows for peace of mind.
