How To Work With Mandala?

It would be better to print mandala and stick it on a firmer material (cardboard for example) and make a rest from behind. This will let you to set up mandala on any surface and to regulate the angle of deflection of the drawing from you.

When you work with mandala, it would be desirable that no one could disturb you. This will not take you much time, about 10-15 minutes a day at any time.

Stages of the work:

1. Set mandala in front of you; you can set it on a table if you sit on a chair; on a floor if you sit on the floor.

2. You start looking at the center of mandala. You concentrate your attention on the center. Concentration in the center of mandala joins tightly to the process of cleansing of your body and mind. This is a concentration of dispersed “eyesights”, focusing them on one central point.

The process of concentration is gradual keeping away from all anxieties and affections, desire to focus your consciousness and to save it in a stable state. Try not to blink as blinking can upset the stream of information.

3. Looking at the center of mandala you are trying to obtain so that you could see the whole picture by using the peripheral eyesight. You do not move your sight to have a good look of the picture. Vise a versa, fixing your sight at the center of mandala, you can see the whole picture.

4. Then you are waiting till different visual effects appear. They are very individual. For example this can be:

- the drawing can become three dimension;
- darkening the edges of the drawing and bright clearing up in the center (the effect of tunnel eyesight);
- one figure starts prevailing over others;
- color game and so on.

These four stages will take about two minutes only.

5. You close your eyes and look at the space, which will be opening in from of you, in expectation that you will see the projection of mandala. You are viewing mandala to the moment till it starts disappearing.

6. You can repeat all the actions.

If you have already trained yourself in reproduction of mandala with closed eyes, then you can change the course of the process a bit.

On the fifth stage you do not close your eyes, you just shift your gaze to the wall painted in one color and you just wait till the image will be projected there.

This experience will be very useful and relaxing. Mandalas can be used not only for meditation, they are also great pieces of art painting. You can display mandalas on the walls of your home, this will be a great decoration.
