SaturdaySpirit...Mandalas

Feast your eyes.
Some can meditate by breath best (as Amansha would wish, and I agree), some meditate best with a mantra said aloud or in the mind (through the breath!). Another form of yoga for meditation and wholeness is the sublime gaze upon the geometric perfected beauty of the universe that is ever distinct fresh and new. In other words, a mandala can be whatever rocks your boat into the brain wave state that "takes you there'.
In classes I've taught, after Amansha has given light to each student's specific symbols, they draw their own Mandala which in turn offers each of them their own proper special visual mantra.
Combine that with sound and...OMG.

THE ULTIMATE LANGUAGE OF SPIRIT (HELLO, UNIVERSAL) IS ARCHETYPAL, OR SYMBOLIC.

Peace

Buddhist mandala
Mandala (Sanskrit maṇḍala मंडलः "circle", "completion")[1] is a term used to refer to various objects. It is of Hindu origin, but is also used in other Indian religions, such as Buddhism. In the Tibetan branch of Vajrayana Buddhism, they have been developed into sandpainting. In practice, mandala has become a generic term for any plan, chart or geometric pattern that represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically, a microcosm of the Universe from the human perspective.
In various spiritual traditions, mandala may be employed for focusing attention of aspirants and adepts, a spiritual teaching tool, for establishing a sacred space and as an aid to meditation and trance induction. Its symbolic nature can help one "to access progressively deeper levels of the unconscious, ultimately assisting the meditator to experience a mystical sense of oneness with the ultimate unity from which the cosmos in all its manifold forms arises." [2] The psychoanalyst Carl Jung saw the mandala as "a representation of the unconscious self,"[3] and believed his paintings of mandalas enabled him to identify emotional disorders and work towards wholeness in personality.
