Mandala is a Sanskrit word for circle, center or circumference. Some even call it a magic circle.
Here's what the great Swiss psychotherapist, Dr Jung, said about mandala:
"I sketched every morning in a notebook a small circular drawing, a mandala, which seemed to correspond to my inner situation at the time...Only gradually did I discover what the mandala really is:...the Self, whe wholeness of the personality, which if all goes well is harmonious" - Dr. Carl Gustav Jung
Mandala is universally in different cultures and religions throughout the world. It is used as
- religous contemplation and rituals
- spiritual insights
- mental, emotional and spiritual healing
- self-expression
- a reflectiion of the unconscious psyche
And that is why we chosethe process of drawing mandala as a medium to bring Malaysians together and create a strong positive force during the Say Something Nice campaign.
