Summary

What are mandalas? They’re elegant circular figures that encourage viewers to place their attention on their centers, as if this center brought order to all that surrounded it. They are sometimes purely geometrical, but sometimes resemble flowers, stars, or suns. What are they used for? Mandalas have been used across time and cultures to meditate, concentrate, heal, and connect with the self. Can anyone color one? Of course! For children, coloring or observing simpler mandalas encourages creativity, improves attention span, and helps to manage anxiety—all in all, a true form of everyday spirituality.

¿Qué son los mandalas? Son diseños circulares que tienen un centro e infinitas formas. A veces son puramente geométricos y otras parecen flores o estrellas o soles que se despliegan.¿Para qué se usan? Los sabios de la antigüedad de diferentes culturas los usaban para meditar, para concentrarse, para conectarse con el propio interior, para sanarse y sanar a otros. ¿Todos podemos colorear mandalas? ¡Por supuesto!, incluso quienes creen que el arte "no es para ellos". Los diseños circulares nos ayudan a concentrarnos, a calmarnos, a conectarnos con el color y la tranquilidad en la vida cotidiana.¿Hay diseños especiales para adultos y para niños? Habitualmente los diseños se separan por grado de complejidad, dejando los más sencillos para los niños y los más detallados para los adultos, pero cualquiera puede tomar el diseño que más le guste, dotarlo de color y disfrutarlo.¿Cómo puede esto beneficiar a un niño? Los niños están más abiertos a experimentar, y sólo se ocupan de disfrutar y "jugar sin juzgar" (algo que los adultos deberíamos recordar siempre). Además de ser algo divertido y creativo, los ayuda a calmar la ansiedad, a mejorar la atención, a vencer los miedos o la inquietud y a conectarse con la paz interior, una verdadera forma de espiritualidad cotidiana.Sin dudas, los mandalas son una bella forma de expresar amor a un niño?
