Best Answer To Philosophy Question

Mandalas affect the right brian hemisphere, of intuition and creativity, unhooking the logical, ego centered, thinking left brain. Whilst staring into the mandala, and by fixing the gaze only upon the centre with no eye movement, the right brain is free to create visual imagery and therefore release endorphins and induce a medative state. Through the practice of viewing mandalas regularly one may heighten conscious awareness and allow insights and creative awareness grow, thus enhancing ones inner life, and therefore by creating a more harmonious outer life.. Thank you , Tio Paco, you are quite correct......I have many painted and drawn mandalas and spiral images of my own, by my own hand, and which flew from creative intuition which, when viewed, automatically create a "let go" and swirl the senses away from mind and into glorious superconscious states.

Answer 1

Cant you ask easy questions like what do like for breakfast ???? Well my little mind tells me that...I was once looking up Tibetan mandalas. Some of those were done on sand * damn * and some were were inscribed on Tibetan walls. They make the mind concentrate as well as the particular sound or phrase ( mantra) which accompanies them. So it is all about trying to reach a level like chakras. Good answer isnt it lol ??? ( do not have the time to think much now)...

Answer 5

The Mandala is a tibetian ritual, it is a symbol of us, people, human beings...

Answer 6

I like Lyres answer, but it is incomplete. When you learn to learn to make your own Mandala, you will be complete. Like the Oriental Sand Garden, its form may be simple, or very complex. To meditate on it is one thing, but to create it is another.
