    form of art therapy meant to relieve my stress and increase focus while exercising my brain

    its visual weight is evenly spread. and Not all symmetry in art and design is based on
    balancing the left and right of a composition. Radial balance relates to elements that spread

    and organic forms.

    enlightenment in Hindu and Buddhist cultures.

    Because the mandala represents the Self and that drawing a mandala gives a person a sacred
    space to meet that Self. Mandalas are great tools for meditation and increasing self-awareness.
