Module 5: Mandala Meditation

 

I decided to create my own mandala. I watched the video and I found it quite difficult at first because technology is so hard to maneuver sometimes. As time went by, the process became more and more interesting especially with the use of different shapes and colors because the colors I chose are literally my moods, the shapes were random, but they fit in my vision is that makes sense. During the creation of my mandala, I picked mostly bright colors because I am almost always in a really good mood. I tried if you zoom out to create a sun shape in my mandala because I usually brighten up another people’s day. The darker colors were for those days we have when we feel gloomy and not ourselves. I did not really have any difficulties except in the beginning when starting, but 5 minutes in I eventually got the hang of what I was doing and the vision I would like to create.

My exact thoughts when creating this was, I wanted it to be pretty but also represent me as a person, it represents my moods and how I feel the majority of the time. I actually would participate in the assignment again because I am interested to know what I would create next. We never know what life may throw at us and next time my colors may be very different next time than today. Interesting, I went over the time 30-minute mark, I did not even notice because the assignment became so interesting. Being distracted by a vision while trying to make a decision of a shape or color became my main focus. I really enjoyed this assignment because it showed me my own creativity and meaning behind the mandala, it was stressful at first but ended up very enjoyable and relaxing.
