For many centuries, Buddhist monks in Tibet created a mandala - a work of art, woven patterns and ornaments of colored sand. The same is done in the New World Indians Navajo shamans. The Tibetans use mandalas as aids to meditation: with their help, they concentrate their minds and thoughts are, step by step, through the many dimensions of space, time and consciousness to freedom pure "being" a prisoner in the heart of all things. Such a trip, regardless of how often you repeat it always leads to a profound internal measurements give new insight of the "I" and the essence of life ...
Carl Jung was the first who introduced the idea of the mandala Western researchers dreams. In his autobiography, "Memories, Dreams, Reflections, Jung describes how, in 1916. He painted his first mandala, and two years later had a day in his notebook zarisovyval new mandalas. He discovered that each image reflects his inner life at the moment, and began to use these pictures to record their "mental transformation". In the end, Jung concluded that the method of the mandala - is the way to our center, with the opening of our unique individuality.
Working with the mandala has its own rhythm, and this book is structured in accordance with it. Our journey to the center initially will be slow: because we have to enter the sacred territory and the first to know all the deeper levels of the unknown universe that extends inside of us. In its promotion, we may suddenly face obstacles and challenges - because they are internally resist change. At some point we may want to return to their previous views and to continue to be the way of life that is difficult to reconcile with the new open our prospects. But then the true understanding of life begins to grow in our ever increasing speeds. As we move towards the center of the mandala of the gravitational attraction will increase. A moment when our energy is locked in a powerful impetus vyplesnetsya outwards, and then we find the light, freedom, joy, peace and a sense of unity.

Convenient to make a few photos or photocopies of drawing blank mandala, which is contained in the annex, and make them their marks - because later you may find a more appropriate manner for each element.
? Identify the images of "helpers" of your dreams. Who helps you overcome your fears in dreams? Which characters or things help you cope with the awesome animals, objects, people and places? For some adults and most children "Savior" are popular heroes and heroines of mass culture, like Superman or fairy fairies.

What (or how) you vidites themselves in dreams, when having a passion or lust? Tempting if you are dressed? Are you wearing red clothing or in a different color? Does your hairstyle?

These characters - "archetypes", the embodiment of the forces that occur when we learn to better understand themselves and their dreams. Sometimes, these figures are very fancy shapes - strange combination of animal, plant and human organisms. Sometimes they appear not as living beings, but as a magical ornaments or pictures. But in any case, they show a new aspect of "I".
