Mandala Meditations
Mandala Meditations was created by
Rev. Jessi Higginbotham.
Mandalas
Mandalas are geometric shapes used in many cultures and religions for concentration and meditation. Mandalas traditionally represent a spiritual journey, starting from the inside working outward.
In Tibetan Buddhism Mandalas are symbolic offerings to the universe. Traditionally they are made of sand by monks over the course of days and hours. The monks believe each grain of sand is a blessing and they train for years to learn how to make mandalas. When a sand mandala is finished the monks will destroy it to symbolize nothing lasts forever. They offer up each grain of sand as a prayer.
In Christianity the use of mandalas dates back to the 13th century. One of the oldest Christian mandalas can be found in Westminster Abbey.
