Mandalas as a Therapeutic Resource and Training of Hospital Assistants
Work with Mandalas puts creativity in motion. It produces changes that affect sleep patterns, mood, pain tolerance and reduced anxiety. It can reestablish previously lost balance.
Both before and after operations, treatments and health-related events, some therapists ask their patients to paint or color Mandalas.
The action of painting or drawing Mandalas can calm the pain of those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder or symptoms of depression resulting from difficult life situations. At the same time, Mandalas facilitate psychic integration. Balance and tranquility are achieved. Fears are eased and pains are soothed.
Mandalas are useful tools of therapy, whether used as objects of simple contemplation or as formats of creativity in drawing and painting. Artistically trained or not, all children and adults have Mandalas within their reach.
