I’ve been researching the role of writing in my own wellness journey and have reignited my love for a practice that I did so often and so thoroughly so long ago, but didn’t have a name for. 

Now I do: It’s creating mandalas.

Mandalas are circular, intricate and symmetrical designs that have been used for centuries across cultures. It’s actually a form of meditation and mindfulness, blended with a dose of creativity. 

Come listen as I explain exactly what mandalas are, why they are important for mental wellness and the different ways you could create one today.

You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here: ⁠https://www.alitlife.com/2025/03/04/mandalas-for-mental-health/⁠
