The Mandala has appeared throughout history as a universal symbol of integration, harmony and transformation. It is a vehicle for concentrating the mind and centering consciousness. As a balanced and ordered symmetrical image it is the logo of consciousness. The Mandala has a wide range of effects:

• Producing feelings of peaceful relaxation
• Facilitating physical, mental and emotional healing
• Bringing one to the finest point of meditative focus
• Contacting one's spiritual essence, the God within

The ancient eastern Mandalas often represented the Buddhist or Hindu cosmologies. They were somewhat symmetrical mappings of the mythological worlds of consciousness. The meditator, represented by the Buddha was shown at its center. The viewer, sitting in meditation, focuses on this center, to achieve one pointedness.

The contemporary Mandala, as presented by Morty Breier, uses various modern spiritual icons as centerpieces. A number of perfectly symmetrical figures, appropriate to this icon, are arrayed around the center, radiating outward, in ever more complex forms, to form a stunning and captivating piece of spiritual artwork.

Wherever your Mandala is hung it will radiate the summetry, balance and harmony it represents. For more intense effects, find a quiet comfortable spot to sit crosslegged, hands in lap, with the Mandala placed at eye level directly in front of you. Take some deep slow breaths and let your shoulders drop while letting go of your worldly concerns.

Soften your gaze as your eye wanders amongst the Mandala's shapes and colors. Notice how you are drawn, time and again, to the Mandala's center, only to drift once again to its outer symmetries. Let it all happen, easily and gently. In time you will come to rest in the Mandala's center and you will feel a profound relaxation. Body, mind and emotions are urged into deep spiritual balance, centering on the timeless God within.

Since leaving his engineering consulting firm in 1989,  Mr. Breier has been using a PC computer and AUTOCAD software to compose his art images which are subsequently drawn by an 8 pen Hewlett-Packard Draftpro plotter. Each Mandala image takes from 40 to 60 hours to compose and perfect.  Each 9 color drawing, measuring between 16 and 20 inches square, is made using Archival Ink Rapidograph pens on high quality bond and takes from 6 to 8 hours of set-up and plotter time.

A series of 100 numbered and signed studio plots will be made by the artist of each composition, with, in many cases, both scale and color assignments varied, after which the computer record will be destroyed. More affordable reduced laser reproductions are also available.
