ABOUT THE MANDALA

The mandala is a circular drawing, well known by Jungians as an indicator of internal processes. Jung referred to it as a "cryptogram”—a coded message concerning the state of the self.

Carl Jung is credited with re-invigorating present understanding of the pscyhology and importance of the mandala. The work of Jane Kellog as represented in the Mandala Assessment Research Institute (MARI) has evolved from Jung’s discoveries.
