WHAT IS A MANDALA COLLAGE?

Vision Board meets Mandala ~

Perhaps you’ve heard of a Vision Board – a tool used to help clarify, concentrate and maintain focus on what truly matters to you. These typically poster-sized collages contain all kinds of images and text that represent a goal (or goals) you have. Vision boards are based on the idea that your mode of thinking directly affects what the universe gives you. If you put positive mental energy into the universe, you’ll be the recipient of positive outcomes.

The word Mandala means “circle” in Sanskrit. The circular design symbolizes the idea that life is never ending and everything is connected. A Mandala is a symbol of the universe in its ideal form, and its creation signifies the transformation of a universe of suffering into one of joy. It can also be used as an aid to meditation, helping the meditator to envision how to achieve its highest self.
