Braided mandala Sri Yantra. It has been scientifically proven that Sri Yantra has a great effect on the human psyche. In particular, experiments have shown that even a short-term fixation of gaze on this image inhibits the activity of the left hemisphere of the brain, which is responsible for logical and analytical thinking, and activates the right hemisphere, whose activity often manifests itself in the form of creative insights and intuition. Similar states can occur during some ritual mystical rites, or even during the use of psychotropic substances. Sri Yantra is the most famous of all tantric yantras. Representing the mystical structure of the cosmos, the Sri Yantra is formed by the mutual intersection of triangles in two directions: four with the vertices up, symbolizing the male principle, and five with the vertices down, symbolizing the female principle.

Here is such an unusual 8-ray mandala in the middle :-)

Merkabah is the interaction of the physical, astral and mental bodies of a person. The physical body acts as a stator. Astrosome rotates clockwise, and Mentosome rotates counterclockwise.

Amethyst helps to combine knowledge and intuition. Amethyst is called a stone of harmony and relaxation, considering that it is of great importance for those wishing to resolve conflicts. Amethyst is also credited with the ability to free people from negative thoughts and generate omniscience. This is primarily due to the color purple, which is a symbol of the “third eye.”
Indian Ayurveda says that amethyst helps control emotions. During meditation, it promotes peace and relaxation, gives a feeling of peace and promotes depth of understanding. Initiates the opening of the "third eye".
Amethyst has always been classified as a very powerful magical stone, which was even applied to the forehead to relieve headaches; it is also used in esoteric rituals.
In my opinion, it is important that it clears the space of accumulated negativity.
One of the most valuable properties of amethyst is the regulation of metabolism in the body simply by its presence). It is also believed that, in addition to its ability to calm, this mineral alleviates the manifestation of diseases caused by nervousness and relieves migraine attacks. 40 cm diameter of the mandala.

People learned about rose quartz in ancient times: during excavations in the cities of Mesopotamia, rose quartz beads were found that are over 9,000 years old!

The "Rose Quartz" mandala was born tonight)))
Love amulets made of rose quartz appeared on our planet many centuries ago. Ancient people believed that rose quartz was sent to Earth by the god of love Eros (Cupid). Together with the gentle, charming mineral, the finest energy of love and sensuality has penetrated our world. According to another version, rose quartz is the “juice” of the Earth, which crystallized over many centuries and became a stone. It was believed that if you touch a piece of the frozen “juice of the Earth,” you can be imbued with unity with all life on our planet - with birds, fish, forests, seas, etc. According to Indian spiritual practices, rose quartz is a stone of the heart chakra. When the heart energy center opens, high feelings, such as love, are felt especially strongly.
Rose quartz is a family talisman that brings mutual love and understanding.

EMERALD... This was my first crystal mandala... specifically about this stone of Wisdom. And now I’m back to him again..)
Like many precious stones, green emerald in Rus' was known under a completely different name. The modern name, borrowed from Arabic and Turkish, comes from the Greek word “smaragdos”. And it is emeralds that are mentioned in the chronicles where green precious stones are discussed. In the Romance languages, the Greek word also changed, and emeralds are still called “esmerald”.
The Egyptian queen Cleopatra, whose beauty amazed her contemporaries, greatly valued the emerald: its value as an amulet that prolongs youth was incredibly important to her.
Emerald is a symbol of wisdom and motherhood. Moreover, its protective properties extend to the child)
Manadala with a diameter of 40 cm. Woven from thin threads of cotton and silk.

I always thought it was amber. It turned out that it’s not so simple) The sun stone exists. Its name is Oligoclase.
There is a legend about the sun stone, according to which on the first day of the creation of the world, when there was nothing on the planet except water, the lovely Sun showed off its reflection all day long. And then one day the Sun saw the beautiful Moon and wanted to get to know her, but the closer it came to the Moon, the further away it turned out to be. For exactly seven days the Sun tried to catch up with the stranger, and on the eighth he cried bitterly, and then beautiful “sun” stones rolled out of his fiery eyes.
In Ancient Greece, as well as in India, it was used in various magical rituals. One of them is direct contact with long-dead people. The Indians who lived in the territory of modern Canada also carried out similar magical practices with the sun stone.
During the Renaissance, a legend was spread that with the help of a sun stone you can control the heavenly bodies.
This stone has a unique sparkling golden iridescent shimmer. The color of the gem varies from lemon yellow to crimson.
The mandala resembles the sun like nothing else. Especially if this mandala is in yellow tones))

Yantra - translated as "amulet, mystical or astronomical diagram used as an amulet."
Yantras are used as visual tools for focusing attention.
The Yantra is not an icon; it is more accurately understood as a magical device that generates the Soul.

Star of Ertsgamma The Slavic symbol Molvinets is perhaps the most mysterious and powerful of all the amulets of our ancestors. This symbol combines all the power of the pagan Gods of the Slavic Aryans, all the power of the elements of nature and all the memory of our ancestors.
It’s so powerful, and I only read about it recently... You’re probably luckier and you’ve known about it for a long time ;-)
Molvinets is a talismanic symbol that protects every person from evil, bad words, from the evil eye and generational curse, from slander and slander, from slander and slander.
This symbol has a very wide range of effects on humans. Molvinets can increase the power of guiding words and the effect of orders. He gives people the gift of eloquence. Yes, this is clear from the name :-)
If you want to protect yourself and your family from attacks, curses, curses and magical attacks, make the Molvinets amulet.
Molvinets in the Slavic heritage has always been, first of all, a powerful shield that prevents influences such as envy and anger, as well as targeted breakdowns in your energy. It's a talisman. such a talisman!)
The symbol is solar, therefore it is considered to have, of course, light power.
The symbol is configured not only as a shield, being one of the solar circular return signs. Molvinets easily sends the impact back to the offender. This is not a soft symbol of family protection, these are powerful sharp rays aimed at repelling evil from the outside. In general, this is not just a cute mandala. and a formidable weapon...
Where Molvinets came from is not known for certain which of the pagan Gods of the entire pantheon made such a generous gift to people, but it is generally accepted that this sign is a symbol of the kindness of all residents of Prav to their descendants and the desire to prolong their lives, making it calmer and longer.
The main thing is probably that it is not forgotten and works :-)
It is believed that Molvinets gives:
-strength for the birth of a baby;
-good health;
-resistance to bad influences;
-self confidence.

This is a mandala about the powerful Slavic symbol KOLOKHORT.
The functional purpose of Kolohort is clear even from the name. Colo-hort is the circular solar movement of light within the earth's firmament.
Kolohort symbolizes a dual system of worldview: the constant interexistence of light and darkness, life and death, good and evil, truth and falsehood, wisdom and stupidity. This symbol was used when asking the Gods to resolve a dispute.
In the Slavic tradition, the Kolohort symbol personified the eternal circling of human souls around the sun in the world of Navi, Reveal and Rule. Each person has in his soul a particle of sunlight, his own shining star, forming his own universe in his soul.
Kolohort is called upon to maintain harmony in the soul. For this purpose, it can be placed above the door or in any place where there is air movement; its rotation will harmonize the flow of energy and direct them in the right direction, providing peace and prosperity to the home.
If you divide the sign into its components, you will see that it consists of two oppositely directed swastikas. They are joined in such a way that they resemble an endlessly repeating figure. Creative turns directed toward salt help to find the right solution, and turns directed against salt destroy illusions and false thinking. Kolohort is a symbol of help in making a difficult decision, an attribute of a judge and an obligatory element of a leader!
Somehow many people have heard about Kolovrat... but Kolohort... is forgotten or something... It sounds sad. I think who needs it..the information will come..And so it came to me!) Suddenly I decided to try to weave it..Perhaps not as much like the original as I would like..Well..a woven mandala has its own laws of weaving threads)) In any case, the symbol sprang out.. was born and works!)
It’s so cool to weave not just beautiful mandalas, but with a deep age-old meaning!
The practice of meditation is well known in the modern world. During meditation, clarity of perception comes, and peace and harmony are established in the soul and heart. This is precisely the state that is needed for a person who has decided to weigh the pros and cons in a dispute that has arisen. And here symbols or certain objects come in very handy.
The Kolohort symbol is intended as an aid in making a difficult, controversial decision. Its structure is very similar to the variety of currently existing meditation objects.
So this mandala and this symbol logically fit into modernity... Well, this is in my opinion :-) You be the judge)
Diameter 40cm.

The lamp is a powerful figurative symbol of the Vedic Slavic-Aryan culture.
The eternal interconnection and connection of Heavenly Fire and Earthly Waters - such is the image contained in the Light.
Two circles and both open to the outside. This is the Slavic amulet Svetoch, a symbol of openness, happiness, luck, love, in a word, a person to whom the world smiles. The double circle allows you to close and unite the Earthly and Heavenly, which means the subordination of material needs and life to the highest foundations of existence and, on the contrary, to bring into the world that beauty that gives rise to communication with the spiritual values ​​of our life.
The Light amulet will help purify thoughts and turn them to the light of Truth and Truth, receive creative energy from the Universe itself and successfully process it into material values.
The Light is also called the Vortex of Transfiguration, or the Universal Vortex of Transformation. The essence of this name lies precisely in the development of two original elements in the essence of every person. This development allows the entity to touch the great Wisdom of the Ancestors, absorb it and become part of it. Then a person’s transformation (transformation) occurs, as a result of which he takes the Golden Path of Spiritual Development and moves towards Rule.
In this amulet the Male and Female Reality is twisted together.

Slavic calendar.More
I saw a picture on the Internet... of a Slavic calendar and realized that I really wanted to weave such a mandala) well... I wove it :-)
Russians now live according to the Roman calendar. Although only 3 centuries ago we had our own calendar. But why do we know so little about him?
There was the “Circle of Life” - this is 144 years. It was believed that 144 years is a normal life expectancy, sufficient for the soul to complete the development cycle. So as not to spend your next life “finishing what you started” and “working on mistakes.”
There was no analogue of seconds. But there were units of measurement: “Share”, “Instant”, “Mig”, “Sig”. There are almost 2 million moments in one second. And the whitefish, apparently, was intended to measure the movement of light: this is the time during which light travels a distance of 1 meter. But there was an even smaller unit of time: “Centig” (another 14,000 times faster).
Such miracles! Maybe we should return this?.:-)
The truth is that in the Slavic-Aryan calendar there are 9 months (forties). But the fact is that I came across in the picture... 12. It is adapted for us modern ones)
In general, I ask you to get acquainted with the newborn mandala. What was born... was born)) Its size is 40 cm in diameter) Not small, round and ruddy))
Its purpose is to have happiness all year long :-) and every year... all my life) Well, it’s not for nothing that this combination of Kolovrat and calendar is there.

MANDALA IN ART THERAPY

Mandala (Sanskrit: मण्डल, "circle", "disk") is a geometric symbol that is interpreted as a model of the universe, a "map of the cosmos". The typical form is an outer circle with an inscribed square within it, within which is inscribed an inner circle, which is often segmented or lotus-shaped. The outer circle is the Universe, the inner circle is the dimension of deities, bodhisattvas, buddhas. The square between them is oriented to the cardinal points.

Circular images similar to mandalas existed among all peoples.

The very shape of the circle is the main feature of many sacred centers and prehistoric places of worship and cult of the gods. Ancient peoples perceived the world as a sphere, believed in the cyclical nature of what happened, therefore, in the image of a circle (mandala), the past, present and future were reunited for them. The circle has no beginning, no end, no direction - like the firmament. But if you put spokes on a circle, it will become a symbol of a wheel, which will immediately demonstrate a new quality - dynamics - the movement of the world, the course of history. Not only “mythical”, but also very real structures have the shape of a circle. From ancient Greek myths we know that the temple of Apollo in the country of the Hyperboreans was round; Plato’s “royal city” on Atlantis consisted of a system of concentric circles of land and water. The cult building Stonehenge, built in the 8th–5th centuries. BC. consists of several ring structures, the sacred temple of Arkaim, shamans’ drums, Chinese bronze mirrors, on the back of which was a diagram of the Universe... I could go on for a long time. Many temples in various religious traditions are built according to the mandala design.

Creating a mandala, according to psychotherapists, puts us in a meditative state, making us especially receptive to the messages of our inner world.

Psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung considered the mandala an excellent tool for internal transformation on the path of self-realization. He studied mandalas with keen interest and drew them himself. By the way, Jung drew attention to the fact that during difficult periods of life, our unconscious often prompts us to draw something like a mandala or see such figures in our dreams.

The numerous geometric shapes that are contained in the mandala represent aspects of the personality, structured more or less symmetrically. Once you find the resonance between them, reconcile them with each other, you will see the path to the center of your own personality.

Mandalas are unique pictures of the world that express the inner world of a person, as well as objects of Power that protect the home and owner.

Before coloring or drawing your own mandala, if you have a problem, you can voice it and ask the future mandala to be the solution. The colors and shapes of the mandala will “come” according to your mood.

A mandala, as a crystallization of an emotional-personal state, can symbolize various experiences, for example, “Concentric circles in a mandala or various variations thereof are associated ... with the womb, the navel, the orifice, birth ...” (Roheim, 1973). Also, such a structure of the emerging mandala can symbolize a “target”, pressure, threat, and protective rituals.

Drawing a mandala, an analytical conversation on a mandala helps to understand the feelings that have arisen and the situations that caused these feelings. Accordingly, it becomes possible to change your attitude towards the situation or change the situation itself.

MANDALA WEAVING

A mandala is an object that projects the internal state of a person, his unconscious, “the reality of the inner world.” Weaving Mandalas come from Central and South America - they were woven by the Huichol Indians. They called their creation “Ojo de Dio” - “Eyes of God”, in the language of the tribe they used the word “Sikuli”, which translates as “the ability to see the invisible”.

The Indians wove mandalas, most often, to protect their home and family and always hung them in an open and most visible place in the house, and also used them for ritual and decorative purposes.

With proper work with the Mandala, a person is able to understand the deep dark corners of his soul, understand the true causes of his problems and the “keys” to solving them, understand what he really wants and expects from life.

Let’s take a closer look at each weaving method so that you can understand what you need.

Intuitive (meditative) way of weaving

Intuitive weaving: first a short meditation, after which a person, without hesitation, begins to choose the initial colors for his work. At this moment, the Heart is responsible for choosing the color; the main thing is not to overthink it, but to plunge into this process with Love.

Each time, unique creations are born, filled with the Love of the person who created the Mandala. Completed Mandalas fascinate with their marvelous patterns, geometry, color combinations, and play of shades!


For children
Weaving Mandalas is a great activity: concentration, development of motor skills, color therapy, development of creative abilities - and just a good mood!

For adults the process of weaving has a deeper meaning: immersion occurs in oneself, where the train of thoughts stops and all attention is directed to creating the Mandala. It is precisely at such moments that amazing processes occur: insight, understanding and a solution to the problem can come. The finished Mandala is often a reflection of the inner “I”. This way a person gets a chance to learn something new about himself. This happens precisely with intuitive weaving, when colors are chosen without thinking about where the hand will fall.

There is another rather interesting type of intuitive weaving, when colors are selected with your eyes closed. First, there is a dive “into the depths” of a tormenting question or problem, and after immersion in meditation, a person, without opening his eyes, begins to choose colors, and then, opening his eyes, begins weaving. During such intuitive weaving, the solution to the problem can come by itself, or with further work with your Mandala (here the chosen colors and geometric shapes will play a major role).

Weaving Mandalas “At will”

When creating a Mandala, you weave your Desire, Intention and Thoughts into it thread by thread, without letting go of this image. When you complete the Mandala, you need to hang it in the most visible place and let go of the desire, forget about it for a while. You won’t even notice how the intention itself will come true in Life!

Weaving Healing Mandalas and Chakra Mandalas

The process is aimed at activating and harmonizing energy centers, “self-healing”. Helps open a blocked chakra or strengthen it.

Weaving Mandala Amulets

With your own hands you can create a talisman for yourself, your home, or for your family and friends.


The main levels that exist in the Mandala are:

The first level is the mandala of our body. If we look at our structure of centers from above, the contours of the chakras will intersect with each other, and we will see a complex mandala pattern.

The second level is when we stand in a circle of women, we form a middle mandala. And if we look from above, we will see her constantly changing pattern through dance.

The third level is the mandala of the universe. We connect with the energy fields of the earth and sky and all cardinal directions. In this process we dissolve as one.

SECRETS OF WORKING WITH THE MAGIC MANDALA

A mandala is not just a beautiful pattern and an interesting amulet that protects your home. With the help of a mandala you can solve many issues in your life.

What’s interesting is that you practically don’t have to do anything! Working with a mandala is like magic: all changes in your life happen as if on their own!

You will need:

— Hang the mandala on the wall so that you can see it.

- Decide for yourself what you want in life.

— Every time your thought concerns your desire, turn your gaze to the mandala. Try to smile and charge the mandala with positive energy!


What is it and why are they still woven?

Mandalas are schematic designs often used by Easterners, particularly in Hinduism and Buddhism. With their help, people passed information from generation to generation. Wisdom, knowledge, history, traditions - all this was encrypted with the help of alternating colors and weaving elements. The Indian mandala is a kind of Amulet; it helps not only to understand oneself, but also to find ways to solve important life problems. Weaving a mandala is similar to meditation - this activity calms you, puts your thoughts in order and helps you achieve inner harmony. Decorative mandalas fascinate with the play of color and their uniqueness. They are a reflection of the creator’s inner world at the time of their weaving. And what colors you choose for your mandala will depend on your inner state.

The word “mandala” translated means “circle”, “disk”. In spiritual traditions, a mandala is not just a circle or a pattern. This is a whole model of the universe, which contains harmony and reconciliation with the world.

Carl Gustav Jung was one of the first European scientists to study mandalas very seriously. In his autobiography, Memories, Dreams, Reflections, Jung talks about how in 1916. he drew his first mandala, and two years later he was sketching new mandalas in his notebook every day. He discovered that each drawing reflected his inner life at that moment, and began to use these drawings to record his “psychic transformation.” Ultimately, Jung came to the conclusion that the mandala method is the path to our center, to the discovery of our unique individuality.

Mandalas have become so popular that all over the world mandalas are drawn, woven, built, and so on.

Images of mandalas are found already in the earliest, primitive cultures. The circle symbolizes a sacred territory, a place of power, so the mandala is able to protect from hostile forces. In addition, the mandala personifies the connection with the Absolute, with higher powers. Its center is the image of the Sun, the Heavenly Door. Many Hindu temples are built in the form of mandalas - they are a combination of circles and squares and symbolize different levels of the cosmos. They include mandalas and images of the human personality, which has to go through the PATH FROM HIS EGO TO THE ABSOLUTE, gradually moving from one level of the universe to another. Images of demons are reminiscent of base passions, those parts of the psyche that hinder the path to enlightenment. In esoteric terms, the mandala symbolizes integrity, the unity of spirit and matter, masculine and feminine, etc.

The mandala is also an auxiliary tool in meditation, the purpose of which is to overcome disunity and achieve unity with God, as well as integrity with all conscious aspects of oneself.

Indian MANDALA Ojo de Dios

The Ojo de Dios (read as “Ojo de Dios”), or Eye of God, charm was given to us by the Huichol Indian tribe who lived in the Sierra Madre Mountains in Mexico. The Huichols had a deep respect for nature. Weaving the ojo de dios mandala begins from the center - the square “eye”. The four corners of the amulet symbolize 4 natural elements: earth, fire, air and water.

Ojo de Dios is the most famous of their symbols. Indians believe that the “eye” pattern can heal and protect. Ojo de Dios is hung on the wall and used in rituals and prayer. The colors used when weaving the amulet also have their own meanings.

Weaving any mandala is a mystical process; the weaving itself brings incredible joy and fills the mandala itself and the one who creates it with energy. Often you don’t even know what kind of mandala will turn out at the very end; it seems to weave itself and gradually reveals itself in the process.

In general, Ojo de Dios amulets are destined to bring good luck.

Expected effect

Weaving a mandala will help you step into the world of harmony and inspiration, calmness and self-confidence.

The technique of weaving mandalas is simple, even 7-8 year old children can learn it! However, it is worth noting that the weaving process itself is something more than ordinary needlework! This is deep work with your subconscious.

The colors of the threads from which mandalas are created play one of the most important roles in weaving. Each color and its shades have their own specific meanings, and in diagnostic Mandalas their combinations and combinations can tell more deeply about the presence of a problem and ways to solve it. If this is a Mandala of Desire, then the color of the threads and the pattern itself are selected carefully, depending on the color image of the finished form of your goal.

Not everyone knows how to draw their self-portraits in the classical sense. But the Mandala, woven by you personally, is nothing more than your self-portrait! Therefore, a lot can be said about it. After all, if you have already started weaving, it means that you are ready to get answers to the questions that concern you, as well as to experience new, previously unknown states that the Universe has prepared for you!

Sign up for the MASTER CLASS “Mandala is the key to yourself”, or “Magic mandalas made of threads” (here, in a group or by personal message).

For some reason, many craftswomen think that the Indian mandala as an object of power begins to act only after it is woven and hung on the wall. This is partly true, but the mandala is ready to convey the most valuable layer of information we need to us during the very process of weaving.

Let's compare the mandala with an old music cassette for a tape recorder: the thread is wound around the sticks in a circle, like a tape of a cassette. We do not hear the mandala music playing at this moment, but this does not mean that it is not there.

So, what can happen to a mandala during its birth?

1. While weaving, the mandala may try to draw your attention to some of your own thoughts, ideas, guesses and misconceptions. Since the mandala doesn’t have a lot of resources for this, most likely the thread will break or get tangled, knots will get tied, and technical problems will arise in weaving where you had no difficulties before. Less often, during weaving, some local cataclysms may occur: electricity starts to go crazy, a dog barks, a neighbor rings the doorbell. These signs do not have to be negative, but more often than not, they are interruptive. Don’t rush to decide that now is not the time or place for a mandala. Remember what your thoughts were about at that moment and dig a little in that direction. Remember what else was happening around you. When you weave a mandala, the Universe is on your side, and it will try in every possible way to do the maximum for you.

2. During weaving, the mandala can “redirect”. For example, you decided to weave a mandala about love, but it turns out to be some kind of brown nonsense. Often, in this way, the mandala decides to first cleanse you or identify some priority problem, the solution of which must precede your total happiness. This often happens with experienced mandaliers, who, it would seem, can certainly weave what they have in mind.

And it happens that a mandala for Vasya suddenly becomes a mandala for Natasha. You sit down to weave a gift for a friend, but you realize that the resulting mandala is not about him at all. There is no single answer to the question whether it is still worth giving this mandala to Vasya. On the one hand, through you the Universe could send Vasily some good, which, in general, you have no need to know about. She just really needed your hands to express Her message in patterns. On the other hand, this same Universe could say: “My dear, let’s wait a minute with Vasya, Natasha needs you more now.” The criterion for a correctly made decision will be feelings of correctness, as well as the consonance of the mandala with its future owner, regardless of your subjective opinion. Whatever needs to happen will happen. And if the mandala really wants to get to someone, it will find a way for this.

3. During weaving, the mandala can begin its work on the space around you and inside you. At this moment, your health may change greatly, your right heel may begin to itch uncontrollably, and you will want to urgently, right now, buy a ticket to the sea. Mandaliers are helped by special mandala diaries, in which they can record their states and revelations while weaving each mandala. These recordings later help to analyze the action of mandalas and teach them to understand them better. In any case, if the mandala evokes emotions in you - pleasant or not - this is a sure sign that it understood the goal set for it and began to cooperate with you.

4. During weaving, towards the end, the mandala can sometimes break unexpectedly. Most often, this means that the mandala has already exhausted its resource without being completed yet. The reasons may be different. For example, the task was too big and deep for one small mandala, which she honestly tried to cope with, and could not. Perhaps your condition now would not allow the mandala to be born completely positive and creative, and it chose to self-destruct. Or maybe... You have pulled the threads too much :) In any case, listing the options within yourself, you should feel complete internal agreement with the answer. Even if he is not entirely pleasant to you.

5. During weaving, especially towards the end, you may have various desires regarding the mandala. For example, immediately give it to the river. Or hang it on the ceiling. Or put it in your child's school backpack. If you are sincere with yourself and are sure that this decision “came” to you, trust it.

Until the very last thread, the knot, the mandala conducts an active dialogue with you. You may not understand her language, but she doesn't stop talking. She is trying to convey to you what, in her opinion, you should hear and think about. At that moment, while you are still holding on to the thread, its connection with your unconscious is especially strong, therefore insights at such moments are true and valuable. Knowing the language of the mandala, of course, simplifies understanding, but even without this knowledge you will be able to grasp the messages of your mandala if you are simply honest and open to it and the world at this moment. And then your desired miracle will definitely find a path into your heart.

How to make a mandala with your own hands?

By the way, a little information about what “mandala” means.

Mandala is a symbol in a complex geometric image. A mandala can be made from sand, wood or metal, it can be painted or embroidered, made of stone or woven from multi-colored threads. They depict it on the floor, walls, painted mandalas, just like paintings are framed, and in temples they decorate vaults with them.

The mandala (emphasis on the first syllable) includes the following shapes: a large circle is the Universe, a square is the cardinal directions, a small circle is the dimensions of the Divine, triangles symbolize lotus petals.

What is Mandala for?

1. Firstly, it can become your amulet, a “sedative”, a magical and inspiring remedy.

2. The mandala serves as a symbol for meditation.

Mandala is revered not only in the East, but throughout the world. This sacred attribute for worship in Hindu and Buddhist religious practice is done under a special ritual.

3. It is often used as a psychotherapeutic tool for realizing one's own purpose and understanding oneself.

This is a very brief and generalized description of the meaning of the mandala.

Find “coloring pages” on the Internet, print them out and create! Or come up with something of your own.

Let's get to work.

What do you need to weave a mandala?

1. Good mood, positive thoughts.

2. Four sticks. It can be anything: pencils, sushi sticks, even toothpicks for the smallest mandala, used pen refills (if the refill is very flexible, you can put toothpicks or matches inside it). Or go and cut off a few branches. So it was decided to ask the tree for twigs for a good cause. The branches turned out to be different in thickness, and not very straight. All this can be easily corrected with a knife. To make the sticks more even, they were tied along their entire length with a rigid rope and left overnight. By morning they straightened up.

3. Multi-colored threads.

One nuance needs to be taken into account here. It is best to take natural threads for mandala.

  1. Natural wool is durable, slightly scratchy. Looks very good.
  2. Cotton and linen are a tough thread and very durable. It will look beautiful on a small mandala.
  3. Cotton + viscose. Very strong and shiny thread. As a rule, the thread is thin.
  4. Acrylic can come in different thicknesses and textures. Mostly fleecy. Not a very strong thread. It's better not to use it. But learning to make the first mandala is quite good.
  5. Do not use synthetic threads like nylon. Such threads stretch well, and then they can sag, but this should not be allowed.

From the experience of weaving the first mandala, the following conclusions were drawn:

1. You need to choose the right thread in accordance with the thickness of the sticks.
2. Watch the video on mandala weaving several times!
3. Watch how the thread lies on the reverse side.
4. Measure the tension of the thread. Otherwise, you can tear it or break the ray.

In general, with a good mood and the thought that the mandala will be woven in at least an hour, the author of the article gets to work.
The dream of quickly accomplishing a miracle was shattered by the clumsiness of his hands.

** The first action was done deftly and quickly: connect two sticks, wrap them around the middle and make a cross, weave a square in the center of the cross. And so - twice, i.e. we get two crosses. You will see more detailed and visual information about the technique of weaving a mandala in the video at the bottom of the article.

** The next stage is the “socket”: you need to connect these two crosses.

This is where the fight against their “disobedience” began. 🙂 Ten fingers were not enough to hold exactly two crosses and braid the rays with the “Star” pattern - this is when you braid through two sticks - every third. The mandala walked in all directions, not wanting to gain a foothold, and the craftsman puffed and worried about how clumsy he was.

Having somehow overcome this stage of weaving, it was decided to dissolve it, since everything turned out to be not very even. And the reverse side was completely forgotten - there the threads clung to each other and lay very ugly, but should have looked like a star.

Since the mandala was spinning in all directions, it could still be rotated, but then the threads on one side would stretch more strongly, and on the other they would sag.

The master exceeded all his expectations when adjusting the distance between the beams and broke one of the sticks. 🙂 Since the rays turned out to be quite long, this situation turned out to be not critical.

** The third stage is braiding with squares. This is already much easier. Here we braid every second ray with a thread. You can use 2-3 different colors. It turns out very beautiful

** The fourth stage is the belt. The easiest thing to weave.

By choosing one or another color of thread for weaving a mandala, or their combination, the creator can convey his state of mind at the time of this action. In essence, a mandala is an encrypted schematic pattern through which all wisdom, knowledge, and customs could be passed on to future generations. Creating a mandala is characteristic of meditation. With each turn of the thread, the master approaches mental balance. In some mysterious way that defies logic, anxiety goes away, mood improves, and solutions to important problems are found.

When creating the first mandala, there was no talk of “weaving” affirmations. But a vitally important task at that time was solved - to hone his skills.

When the first mandala was woven, the overall picture of the pattern was not yet clear. The main thing was to learn.

It was decided to make the second mandala using toothpicks. Thin cotton threads were used for this. This little mandala was woven much easier.

This is how they turned out, the first and most memorable.

When they were introduced to the household, everyone was surprised and later admitted that contemplation on the mandala can be endless. It seems to hypnotize and distract you from negative thoughts.

Perhaps the first mandalas will not be perfectly straight. The wrong colors will be selected. But nothing is perfect in the world. Therefore, feel free to grab the sticks and threads (whatever you have) and get to work!

If you like to draw, draw a mandala. Here, the flight of imagination is not limited at all.

Mandala is a drawing with magical properties that came from the East. He is revered by followers of Buddhism and Hinduism for his ability to help people. It is believed that such a pattern allows you to quickly achieve goals and fulfill your cherished desires, since it concentrates a powerful charge of energy. To acquire a talisman with such properties, you can make a mandala with your own hands from threads.

In the classic version, a mandala is created with sand over the course of a week, a month or several months. In shape it is a fractal, that is, a closed figure, the parts of which are similar to the whole picture. To make a mandala with your own hands, which will become an effective amulet, you need to know what shades to choose for it. Each color has its own meaning:

When weaving a talisman, it is better to combine several shades. For example, for a love mandala, a combination of red, yellow, blue and purple threads is needed, and the color of passion should predominate. To attract money, it is better to use different tones of green, as well as blue and white yarn. An amulet for making wishes come true should be woven from white, purple, red and orange threads.

Weaving a talisman

Before weaving a mandala, you should decide who it is intended for and what function it should perform. In addition, before making a multi-colored amulet, it is better to practice on threads of the same color in order to hone your working skills. After this, working with more complex weaving patterns will become easier.

Mandala materials

First of all, to make the amulet you will need thick threads. It is better to choose woolen ones, as they do not slip and are easy to work with.

To make the amulet frame you will need wooden sticks. If you plan to make a small mandala, you can use regular toothpicks. For larger items, knitting needles or skewers are suitable. Usually 2 or 4 sticks are enough.

In addition, you need to find a pattern for weaving the amulet. To make it more convenient to work with, it is better to enlarge it and print it on a color printer. It is also advisable to have step-by-step instructions and a photo of the finished amulet.

Additionally may be required PVA glue for fixing some elements and decorative materials that can be used to decorate the amulet if desired. Beads of various sizes, beautiful buttons, glass beads or beads are suitable for this. It is worth noting that a mandala intended for use as a talisman should not have such decoration.

Making the base

Before weaving a mandala from threads, you need to make its base. Some master classes describe in detail how to make a frame, but if there are no such instructions, it should be made according to the following scheme:

  1. It is necessary to mark the middle on each stick. After this, you should tie two of them in the center so that the angle between them is 90 degrees.
  2. Now you need to knit the second pair of sticks in the same way.
  3. The crosses obtained from the sticks must be combined into a snowflake and connected using threads.

The result should be a base with 8 ends. After its manufacture, you can begin weaving according to the chosen pattern.

A simple version of the amulet

To master weaving a mandala from threads, the simplest option is suitable for beginners. To make it you will need 2 sticks of the required size and threads of one or more colors.

First you need to fasten the sticks together. To do this, you need to put them together, tie them with a knot exactly in the middle and wrap them with threads several times, trying to do this as tightly as possible. Now you need to move the sticks apart so that they form a cross.

The resulting frame needs to be secured. To do this, you need to rewind the middle of the cross several times diagonally in one direction and then in the other direction. During weaving, it is important to ensure that the sticks are in their original position, perpendicular to each other.

Next, you need to alternately wrap each side of the frame with material of the same color. To do this, you should go with the thread from above, wrap the stick and move through the top to the next ray of the warp. This manipulation must be repeated several times in a circle. After this, a knot is tied on the wrong side, and the excess thread is cut off. The pattern should resemble a square or diamond.

Continue making the mandala using yarn of a different color, tying it with a knot on the wrong side. In this case, weaving must be continued according to the same principle, that is, weave each stick, going with the threads from above. From time to time it is worth changing the colors to make the product more colorful. When the frame is completely covered with yarn, you should tightly tie a double knot on the inside of the amulet, and then cut off the thread.

This type of weaving is not as easy as the previous one, but the result is more interesting. For it you will need 4 sticks (it is advisable to use a larger version rather than toothpicks), scissors and 7 colors of yarn. An Indian mandala can be made from threads according to the following scheme:

The product is completed by weaving a “belt”, for which the yarn is tied to any of the sticks and sequentially braided around each end. This should be continued until the frame is finished, alternating shades. Then the thread is cut and a strong knot is tied on the wrong side.

Pansies

The amulet according to this scheme is considered the most complex, but it also looks especially impressive because it resembles the flower of the same name. To make a thread mandala in this master class, you will need 4 sticks, scissors, yarn (it is advisable to use at least 5 shades) and PVA glue.

Making the amulet begins with connecting 2 sticks according to the same principle as in previous weavings. Then a square is made on the resulting cross, for which the thread is laid on top of the side of the frame, wrapped around it and sent to the next stick through the top. This should be repeated several times until the middle is the desired size. After this, the yarn is cut to leave a fairly long “tail” and tied around the end where weaving stopped.

The same thing needs to be done with the other pair of sticks. Only on it you need to use a thread of a different color. After this, the crosses are connected, for which one should be placed on top of the other so that the squares form an octagon. A thread is tied to either side of the lower part of the frame with a double knot. Every third stick is entwined with it.

This must be continued until all sides of the frame are wrapped and securely fastened. On the reverse side, the “star” element is obtained. Then you should tie another shade and continue weaving this pattern.

Then the “square” pattern is woven. A thread of a new color is taken and tied to either side of the upper part of the warp. You need to wrap it around every second stick, passing the yarn under the product. A “square” with the same number of rows is woven on the lower cross from a thread of a different color, and it is also woven under the mandala. Patterns should be laid as tightly as possible.

This element is repeated 2 more times on both crosses in different shades. The result is a beautiful pattern of interlocking diamonds.

Now a “belt” is made, for which a new thread is tied to either side. Each stick should be braided in turn to form a circle. You need to make several rows, and then cut the yarn, make a knot and tie a new color. It repeats the “star” element. Its rays need to be increased, periodically changing shades, then cut the thread again and make a knot.

Next, a constriction is added. For her, 5 rows of “belt” are woven from a thread of a different color. After this, the long thread is unwinded and cut. It should be hooked onto the previous “belt” of the amulet and a loop should be made so as to tighten both “belts” between the rays of the “star”. The result is a beautiful petal. This needs to be done 8 times, passing the yarn in a circle.

Then you need to tie a new color and weave several rows of the belt, leaving the ends of the sticks empty. Then the shade of the thread changes again. You need to braid the ends of the frame with this thread, moving from bottom to top and back. After all sides are tied with yarn, it needs to be cut and tied. All sides of the mandala are coated with PVA glue.

Such a talisman “absorbs” a person’s energy and thoughts, so when making it you need to think only about the good. To make your wishes come true, it is recommended to weave an amulet on the full moon or during the waxing moon.
