Today you will see the wonderful tutorial on how to make meditative patterns with swirls, flowers, petals. These patterns are also called mandalas. They are so easy to make; this process allows you to be creative and use your imagination as there are no strict rules like we have in classical drawing. You usually start from the central part and usually, it's a point or circle and continues with any symmetrical patterns or images you like. The main idea here is true self-expression. The process of creating a mandala is a form of meditation, stress relieving practice and also helps to start thinking out of the box. Moreover, playing with sand is so relaxing and develops kinesthetic feelings.
It's a very inexpensive hobby that all your family will appreciate and you can spend evenings creating new patterns and boost your creativity.
