Repetitive pattern like mandalas have a calming and comforting effect on us. That is due to the circumstance that our brain always tries to find similarities to what it already stored. Recognizing pattern just creates an effect of certainty that we can rely on what we have learned before. It gives us safety and encourages to deal with situations. This is why traditions and rituals are so high in value for our inner peace and equilibrium – we need reliability in order to have the impression that we can govern our life.
Stick to your traditions and rituals and enjoy them – and if they are not suitable any more, then create new ones!
