Watching or making mandalas needs our ability to attach to our intuitive and intellectual self, to be able to at the same time simultaneously use the right and the left hemisphere of our brain. Mandalas help us in this procedure of connecting to ourselves, fine-tuning within.
Making yourself attentive to your own feelings, intuitions and skill have importance within the creation and receptive interpretation of mandalas.

What colors in mandala mean ?
According to the colours of the chakras
Seasons, natural forms
Interpretation of different spiritual schools
Feng-shui
Certainly, there are several other possibilities for the interpretation…
You can encounter what sentiments are stimulated in you by a particular shading – does it enact or loosen up you, does it vitalise or soothe you, does it turn you inside… Does it raise a warm or cold sensation? You can peruse a great deal about the impact that unadulterated colors have on our chakras and – through the chakras – on our state of mind and even in transit our organs work. Choosing colors precipitously (utilising the colors that are the most engaging us) can lead us to discover the colors that are significant for us, the colors that recuperate and help us in harmonisation. I sincerely propose you this strategy. Whenever prepared, the mandalas we made can be translated, gazed at in wonder, acknowledgments might be conceived.
Pure colours (they have a number of different shades)
- Yellow:power, light, joy, (this is the colour of the 3rd chakra)
- Orange: ample energy, heat, colour of the 2nd chakra
- Red: fire, passion, colour of the 1st chakra
- Violet: spiritual forces, colour of the 6th chakra
- Blue: protection, tranquility, coldness, colour of the 5th chakra.
- Green: peace, nature, colour of the 4th chakra
- White: purity, unity, colour of the 7th chakra
- Black: secret, darkness
- Grey: just like brown, has several shades. They can either be cold or warm and they can be almost identical with one of the pure colours. They can be vivid or soft, can express boredom and sadness or, on the contrary, vitality and cheerfulness.
