Vsak, ki se je kdaj lotil ustvarjanja mandal, v kakršnikoli tehniki, je bistvo mandal dojel šele, ko se je lotil risanja. Gre se za nenavaden učinek na psiho.
Ne da bi vedela za globok pomen mandal, sem jih začela risati, ker so mi zdele preprosto estetske, po drugi strani pa so me vzorci iz središča inuitivno pomirjali.
Kmalu zatem mi je postalo jasno, za tako ‘delo’ potrebujem, mir, čas in veliko potrpljenja. Še malce kasneje pa, da to sploh ni hec; da gre za proces iz globine. Za osredotočanje in nenavaden občutek miru, za domišljijo, barvitost, izraznost stanja iz podzavesti.
Opazila sem tudi kako srečno in umirjeno se počutim ob risanju mandal in kako samozdravitveno pravzaprav ves proces deluje. Učinek pa globok, meditativen, notranji stik s samim sabo.
Kasneje sem začela prebirati literaturo na to temo in presenečena ugotovila, da so vsi moji doživljaji ob ustvarjanju mandal, znani že stoletja. Da so središčni krogi, ki se širijo v neskončno v nekem zaporedju, simbol centra, kamor se vsi vedno vračamo in od koder smo prišli. Iz točke, iz stvarstva; V mir, v ljubezen, v resnično.
Ne vem zakaj sem izbrala ravno tehniko točkovnega risanja, mogoče zaradi estetike, vem le to, da mi vzbuja občutke o katerih so pričale že stare kulture. In lep dokaz, da smo vsi povezani, da smo eno. Da je tisto, kamor se vedno vračamo, v središče nas samih.

Mandala on canvas
Anyone who ever created mandala in any kind technique, didn’t understand the essence of mandalas until he or she began to draw it. I’m talking about unusual psychic effect.
Without knowing the deep significance of mandalas, I started to draw them because they seemed simply aesthetic; on the other hand, the patterns from the center intuitively made me calmed down.
Soon after, it became clear to me that I needed such a ‘work’, peace, time and a lot of patience. A little later, however, I noticed that this could be something greater; the process from the depth. It was about the focus and an unusual sense of peace, imagination, colorfulness, expressiveness of the condition from the subconscious.
This state was deep; meditative I would even say.
I also noticed how happy and calmed I felt drawing mandalas and how self-healing actually the whole process works.
Later, I started to read literature on this topic and found out that all my experiences were at the creation of mandala, known for centuries. That the central circles, which are spreading in infinite in a sequence, are the symbol of the center where we all are always returning and from where we came from. From the center point, from divinity – To peace, to love and to what it’s real.
I don’t know why I chose the exact technique of dot drawing mandalas, perhaps because of aesthetics. I only know that it raises my feelings as the old cultures also spoke about. Which proves that we are all connected, that we are one. It’s where we always return, to the center of ourselves.
