Mandalas are often associated with spirituality or the soul. They are considered as universal symbols, tools for reflection or self-expression, or pieces of art that represent or connect people with their inner selves or the lives they wish to lead.

Emily Littlefair, the author, is drawn to mandalas and finds it therapeutic and calming to design them. Her creations range in difficulty from simple mandalas that can be completed quickly to more intricate ones that require more time and focus.
