From my article on Nature Mandalas as Therapy in issue 3 of Starflower Living: According to Carl Jung “a mandala is the psychological expression of the totality of the self” (1973: 20). Through his own journey and deep inner work, he came to understand the significance of working with circles. Even as infants, we’re wired to look for a circle (mother’s face). Through this, the baby bonds with its mother. It is biologically essential for a baby to keep seeing its mother’s face (or other main caregiver if she is deceased) if s/he is to become emotionally healthy. You can still buy issue 3 (£2.50 and instantly downloadable) from the Starflower Press website.
