3 Important Tools on the Mandala

September 16, 2023 by Nicole Koch in Mandala Mind

Here are 3 tools on the mandala to help you discover balance and healing. Please share with them with others if they are of benefit and can bring helpful discoveries.

Tool 1: 5 Core Questions

One specific tool related to the mandala is connected to the mandala of the 5 elements. The five elements surround us, but are within us as elemental forces that shape our personal field and experience.

Exploring your own life situation you can start a general thread of questions related to each of the five core facets.

Let’s explore…

 
 
 
 

2. What allows flow in your life?

  • Transform judgment and rejection into acceptance

  • Feel more freedom by being present and aware

  • Clarify your experience and inner knowing

  • Allow the flow and unfoldment of experience

1. What grounds you? What brings stability and rootedness? 

  • Feel more appreciation for yourself

  • Experience interconnectedness and inner richness

  • Connect to gratitude

  • Learn to feel grounded

 
 
 
 

4. What would allow movement and change?

  • Discover what optimizes change

  • Increase movement and allow letting go

  • Take action and align with what is important

  • Connect to inspiration and a sense of renewal

3. What are you passionate about? What do you desire?

  • Discover what you want

  • Increase vitality and passion in your life

  • Feel a deeper connection with others

  • Let what you love guide you

 

5. What would allow space in your experience? What is your experience of openness?

  • Learn to be with uncertainty and not knowing

  • Get space from limiting patterns and feelings

  • Embrace challenges

  • Open to the true unlimited potential of yourself


The second tool on the mandala has to do with exploring the qualities of each element in the mandala.

Tool 2: Guidance and Practice on the Daily Path

You may choose to focus on one area daily or weekly, to connect and find insight around the elements.

Stability and Groundedness: During this week or today, notice that everything that shows up for you, can be viewed from a perspective of grounded equanimity. Notice the richness that is present in your life and the resources that are available to you.  

Flow and Flexibility: Notice for a moment how you limit the flow of your life through judgment and preferences. Take a moment to just be aware of what is happening in your experience. Be like water, mirroring your experience. Value the preciousness of what is there. 

Vitality and Passion: You have an opportunity to explore what energizes you and strengthens your vitality. What gives you fire and passion? Notice what you truly want? Be aware that life differentiates in many different forms and possibilities and which of these do you want to connect to.

Movement and Change: Today or this week be mindful of your action. Notice your tendency to speed up your action in order to get things done. See I you can return to the moment and be present with the action itself. Notice if it’s possible to just be in the process without striving towards a specific goal or achievement.

Space: Openness and Spaciousness

Today allow openness towards your experience. Recognize and encompass what you usually would choose not to be with. Allow space for yourself, no matter where you are. Feel the space, and include whatever arises for you in your daily life situation.


The third tool explores balance around each of the elements.

Tool 3: The 5 Elements Wheel

You can download the wheel here.

  1. Create a wheel divided into segments. The elements are earth, water, fire, air, and space.

  2. Looking at the 5 elements wheel explore each segment and ask

    On a scale of 1-10, 1 being lowest and 10 being highest, what is your experience of balance for this element in your life?

  3. Complete each element in the wheel.

  4. When you are complete scaling, ask yourself

    How can I bring greater balance into the element? What may need to happen or what do I wish to do to move it further up the scale? What are some specific actions?

  5. How might my life look like with the balanced elements?
