dot mandala art  WORKSHOPs at INNER HEART
 Mandalas are powerful relaxation and centering tools which help us remain in the present moment.
Meaning "circles" in Sanskrit, mandalas are sacred symbols that are used for meditation, prayer, healing and art therapy.

In clinical studies mandalas are shown to boost the immune system, reduce stress and pain, lower blood pressure, promote sleep and ease depression.

Dot Mandalas are easy to be made, starting with a couple of circles and lines, the possibilities are endless.   They help the practitioners focus one's attention,  they’re a great exercise for calming down the mind in times of stress and inducing creativity. 

Among the many benefits of mandalas we have:
  • They help with balance.
  • They bring peace and tranquility.
  • Looking at them will give you a feeling of calmness.
  • They help with concentration.
  • They make it easier to be mindful.
  • Another thing thing they do is push aside thoughts and let your creativity flow.
  • The way all the shapes and designs are laid out brings a feeling of balance.

What does Dot Mandala help with?
  • Being Present – Working on a Dot Mandala requires focus and allows you to be completely present in the moment.
  • Clearer Mind – Counting dots and focusing on placement keeps your mind clear from all other thoughts.
  • Relaxing – Most likely due to being present and a clear mind, creating Dot Mandalas is very relaxing and calming. 
  • Expressing Yourself – Many times in stressful situations we aren’t given the opportunity to express our feelings. Working on Dot Mandalas is a creative outlet to express yourself and release some emotions.
  • Control – The lack of control in many situations is what causes stress and fills our minds with unwanted thoughts. Creating a Dot Mandala allows you to create something and gain a sense of control.
  • Discovery – once you learn the basic steps and patterns, the blank paper becomes your playground! A place to enjoy your creations as they appear in front of your eyes, the process and the end results are amazing!
