Mandalas n' Things

Hello, and welcome to Mandalas n'Things! It is a little hodgepodge of household items: from tableware to bedding, from bathroom to office, even arts & crafts to personal accessorizing. We may have what you need to spruce up your home, or yourself! I've always been fascinated by mandalas, and just symmetry in general. The harmony, the balance, as all sides come together in equality. The vibrant colors that clash against each other, bringing out all the shapes and sizes of the individual parts that come together to make the whole. FUN FACT TIME!! A mandala (Sanskrit: मण्डल, romanized: maṇḍala, lit. 'circle', [ˈmɐɳɖɐlɐ]) is a geometric configuration of symbols. In various spiritual traditions, mandalas may be employed for focusing attention of practitioners and adepts, as a spiritual guidance tool, for establishing a sacred space and as an aid to meditation and trance induction. In the Eastern religions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Shintoism it is used as a map representing deities, or especially in the case of Shintoism, paradises, kami or actual shrines. A mandala generally represents the spiritual journey, starting from outside to the inner core, through layers.
