How Creating Mandala Art Encourages Your Sexual Wellness

Drawing free-form mandala art can be a powerful tool for exploring your sexual wellness. It is an element that I included in the Purple Sex & Love Beyond Your Dreams: A Women’s Guided Journal to Explore Your Sexual Self. It facilitates investigating nine topics of sexuality. Sexual self-exploration or discovery work sits in sensuality, self-intimacy, fantasy, sexual behavior, gender, sexual orientation, pleasure, body image, and desire. And with new beginnings, it is helpful to create activities that allow you to experience yourself in an innovative way. Combining personal mandala art with sexual topic assessments is a unique way to express your sexuality.

Let’s look at why this practice can benefit women in exploring sexual wellness.

Enhances Self-Expression and Awareness

Mandalas are a non-verbal way to express their feelings, emotions, and thoughts. It’s a perfect way to explore. As a safe and comfortable task, mandala drawing can reveal inner thoughts, conflicts, and desires. It provides facets of self-image with color and form rather than words. The designs, symbols, and art movements will hold personal meaning to you, the artist. It becomes a container of holding the content of you as you become more self-aware about the topics of your sexuality. You can track your movement and meaning with your before and after drawings.

Mandala Art Promotes Relaxation and Mindfulness

The ritual of gathering drawing implements, paper, and a journal is calming and meditative. Setting an intention for your art provides focus. This process itself can help ease stress and anxiety and set the stage to explore your sexuality topics with increased comfort and openness. Exploring sexuality topics like sexual behaviors, orientation, pleasure, and body image is easier with a relaxed state of mind.

Symbolizes Wholeness and Unity

One theme of the Purple Sex Journey is wholeness. A circle represents wholeness, unity, and harmony. Creating art inside a circle, as you focus on a specific sexuality topic, can help you feel more connected to your body and sexuality. This sense of wholeness would be beneficial to support the exploration of body and self-image. It could aid in developing a more positive and accepting outlook on your body and sexuality.

Encourages Creativity and Imagination

When you draw a mandala, it stimulates the creative and imaginative part of the brain. This could make exploring topics like fantasy and sexual behavior more engaging and enlightening. Designing mandalas can reflect one’s creativity in exploring sexuality. Creativity can lead to innovative insights and perspectives.

Mandala Art Acts as a Form of Release

The act of drawing is a catharsis. It helps study sexual orientation, pleasure, and gender complexities by releasing suppressed emotions. Women can channel their feelings and experience related to different topics into their art. This can lead to relief, satisfaction, and a greater understanding of their sexuality.
