"We shall not cease from exploration

And the end of all our exploring

Will be to arrive where we started

And know the place for the first time."

About the Om Mandala

The Om Mandala in the upper left hand corner of this page is a potent symbol created by bringing together the Sanskrit character "Om" and a circleTogether, they create a "mandala."  And, "mandala" itself means circle.

As you repeat "Om" you are following in the footsteps of many meditators. As you say this sound, a vibration is released which has been described as the same vibration that birthed the universe.  Many chants include Om to increase healing and calmness; expand consciousness and openness to the divine; and provide a powerful, quiet, and unity experience with all that is.

Please take a moment now to breathe deeply, relax your body, and repeat Om several times.  Let the power of this magnificent vibration soothe you and bring you peace.

Mandalas are found in many cultures throughout the world.  For example, Indian, Chinese, Tibetan, and Native American cultures as well as Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist, and Christian traditions pay homage to the mandala through art.  Mandalas are even naturally occurring in nature—think of a sunflower, a snowflake, a spider web, a full moon, the sun, and the earth.

The mandala represents wholeness, unity, and renewal.  Like the word Om, the depiction of a mandala can be used for meditation and illumination.  By meditating on a mandala, feelings of oneness and of peace may be experienced.

Carl Jung, the Swiss-German psychoanalyst, found the mandala a great tool for increasing insight into oneself and making the unconscious conscious. Why not create your own personal mandala? You may be surprised at what you create and what you learn about yourself.
