曼陀罗到底是什么?

 
Information extracted from here.
 
 
曼陀罗 ("Mandala")

「圆形的曼陀罗像一面镜子,照应着人的内心世界,你可以在简单的涂绘中和自己相逢。圆形的曼陀罗也像是子宫、种子、卵,孕育着、隐藏着各种可能性。」
 
 

曼陀罗(Ma n d a l a一字来自于梵文,其历史源远流长。Mandala本为一佛教常用字,意指中心、圆圈或集合崇拜的坛场(坛城)。灵修人士更会以一些画有佛与菩萨等像的曼陀罗图作冥想与静心。近百年来,曼陀罗经常被应用于艺术治疗方面。透过当中循序渐进的图案和线条所产生的「聚集」作用,会把当事人无形而抽象的潜意识表现出来,使人更了解自己的心灵深处,籍此提升自我觉察力和自我解决问题的力量,重整人生的价值观。

曼陀罗与心理学有什么关系?
心理学鼻祖荣格(Karl Jung)将曼陀罗彩绘带入西方的世界。并称它为「心灵能量」(psychicenergy),借着曼陀罗的创作,来创造出属于自己的神圣空间、庇护地和集中力量的中心点。在这个神圣空间中心灵能量转化为象征的过程中,个体在不使用具象或文字、语言等方式,得以令潜意识和曼陀罗自动地进行沟通,这种沟通有部份是以投射及认同的方式来进行,有部份则是因专注于创作所带来的「忘我」状态而出现。

当个人将专注转向内在时,某些潜意识内容或情结将在创作过程中自然地与意识进行交流,即心灵能量的移动。此时在创作中出现焦虑并且在焦虑状态之中仍继续创作的经验,可让创作者获得面对及处理焦虑的机会,同时,早期快乐的记忆在创作中浮现,也会让创作者退回到享乐的快感之中。在这样的心灵能量转化之中,开悟也常在此时出现。

荣格发现,描绘及梦见轮圆是个体化过程中自然的环节,因此他鼓励创作者发挥天马行空的想象力,不在内心默认图案,自然而然地创作。

画曼陀罗有什么益处?
1.定期进行曼陀罗心灵彩绘可有效改善身心状况,更能将源源不绝的想法,做更有效的可视化思路整理,展现思路全貌、提升创意质量,让生活更加丰富美满。

2.透过图形与色彩,释放情绪、整合内在的意识与潜意识,让你立刻放松身体与头脑。

3.神奇的曼陀罗彩绘,让你自在地着上自己喜爱的色彩,可以平衡左右脑,提升创造力,也能化解烦忧、舒发压力,更能激发无远弗届的想象力、刺激脑细胞,达到活化脑部的极致功效。

4.父母也可以和孩子们一起彩绘,从小训练孩子的手脑协调能力、提高手部控制能力、平衡左右脑的发展。

5.透过视觉表现,曼陀罗彩绘可直接传递人的感情、创造智慧、扩展人际关系、治疗精神疾病等各个层面,效用可说是不胜枚举。

6.有助于自我调整、疾病复健、自闭儿心智开发、延缓老人痴呆。

谁适合画曼陀罗?

你不需要有绘画基础──此方法强调由内而外的随意创作,捕捉潜意识的内容,进而激发心灵能量。
你不需要有写作基础──透过象征、线条与色彩,将内在所经验到的感受快而不受限的书写,将潜意识内容转化成意识可理解的文字。
你需要愿意自我探索──对自己是谁感到好奇,有意愿接触内在更深或不可知的自己。
你需要学习自我疗愈的方法──这是不需要藉由他人来进行的自我对话的方法,不受时间与空间限制,当个人陷入情绪感受中无法表达时,透过画写曼陀罗让自己纠结的情绪更放松。
你想要激发内在创造力──潜意识拥有庞大的讯息及无限的可能,想要进入个人内在的宝库转化为现实生活中的作品或创意,让个人在工作、人际、生活等更有弹性。
你想要求得心灵平静──这是一种让自己专注于创作的方法,透过忘我的经验体会内在各种情绪能量来来去去的流动,进而打开内在涵容情绪的能力,让自己的身心更平静与协调。

" I think it is essential sometimes to go to retreat, to stop everything that you have been doing, to stop your beliefs and experiences completely, and look at them anew… You would then let in fresh air into your minds. Wouldn't you? If you can do so, you would be open to the mysteries of nature and to things that are whispering about us, which you would not otherwise reach…. Do it, and you will see delight....’’. - By Indian Philosopher, J. Krishnamurti : 1st Public Talk 5th January 1952, Madras, India
