曼陀羅

參考曼陀羅（梵文為「圓」 ）創作的藝術是一種方法來幫助人們集中注意力，並反映他們目前的狀態。雖然曼陀羅發源用於宗教用途，心理學家榮格和藝術治療師Joan Kellogg發現他們可以被用來反映一個人的內心。這一目的創作的曼荼羅，都自發地創作，而不是用規定的圖案。

 

要創作一個曼陀羅，會用預先繪製一個圓形的畫紙。將注意力放在你的身體，情緒和心理狀態，試試問自己：「我現在怎麼了？」以圓作為參考，選擇顏色，符號和形狀用作畫，讓自己憑直覺行事。最後，寫一個標題，描述和反思作畫中你發現關於自己的新想法，以及人際關係，工作和周圍的事物。


當你閱讀以下的曼陀羅和反思時，花點時間找出畫者的中央思想、感受或顧慮 。請問這主題能關聯到哪些與患者見面時要注意的特質或技巧？

Mandala

​​Art created in reference to a mandala (Sanskrit for "circle") is used as a way to help people focus their attention and reflect on their current state of being. Although mandalas are traditionally found in religious settings, psychiatrist Dr. Carl Jung and art therapist Joan Kellogg found that they could be used to reflect on one's inner self. Instead of prescribed patterns, mandalas for this purpose are created spontaneously.

 

To create a mandala, begin with a paper that contains a pre-drawn circle. Focus your attention on your physical, emotional and psychological condition by asking yourself, "How am I right now?" Select colors, symbols and shapes to create an image using the circle as a reference. Let yourself be guided by intuition. Finally, write a title, description and reflection in which to discover new ideas about yourself, as well as, your relationships, work and community.


As you look at the mandalas and read the reflections on the following pages, take a moment to identify an idea that describes the central feeling, thought or concern of the artist. How does this theme relate to a characteristic or skill that can be used when meeting with patients?
