The concept of “mandala” was introduced into psychology by Carl Jung. Beginning in 1918, Jung painted mandala after mandala in an attempt to understand the activity of his unconscious. As Jung writes in his autobiography: “Only gradually did I understand what a mandala really is. This is the Self (dasSelbst), the integrity of the personality, which if everything goes well is harmonious, but which is not able to withstand self-deception.”[1] Thus, Jung came to the idea of ​​​​the archetype of the Self, which brought much to the understanding of the human psyche. The concept of Self in analytical psychology is inextricably linked with the process of individuation. Defining these concepts more fully will help in the future to identify the psychological meaning of the mandala and its psychotherapeutic capabilities. By the concept of the Self, Jung understood a certain archetype of order and integrity of the individual. The Self is the center to which a person must come in the process of his development. The Self includes both the conscious and unconscious of a person, forming his true individuality. Jung wrote that: “The Self is not only the center, but the entire circumference in which both consciousness and the unconscious are inscribed; it is the center of the whole, just as the “I” is the center of consciousness.”[2]. “The Self is the goal of our life, for it is the most complete expression of that victorious combination that we call individuality...”[3].In the process In his development, the individual moves along the path of individuation, which means the process of cognizing his Self and gaining true integrity with himself: “I use the expression “individuation” in the following sense. This is a process that generates a psychological individual, i.e. a separate, undifferentiated being, a certain integrity”[4]. The acquisition of this integrity is significant for a person; he strives for it throughout his entire life. If we compare Jung's Self with the yogic Purusha, which is the divine “I”, the personality that lives in every person and at the same time merges with the Absolute, then perhaps it becomes clearer that a person’s movement towards his self means a movement towards finding himself and the surrounding world in oneself, centering oneself relative to the universe. This creates a state of mental balance and the possibility of self-discovery. It is this experience that concentration and meditation on the mandala gives, since in India the process of comprehending one’s spiritual essence, namely, finding the true “I”, and merging with the universal consciousness is a religious and cultural phenomenon. Thus, when creating a mandala, Tantric Buddhists do not just perform a ritual, they are included in the creation of a Universe that has order, the center of which is in themselves. The regulation and proportionality of the mandala helps to feel the proportionality and harmony of the inner mental world and go outside, projecting one’s psyche onto the orderliness of the universe. Actually, in analytical psychology, individuation is one of the goals of psychotherapy. It must be said that Jung distinguishes the process of individuation from the process of mental development. What Jung meant is more like a person's movement towards spiritual improvement - enlightenment (in the Indian tradition). Jung used the Indian word "mandala" (magic circle) to designate a structure reflecting the core of the human soul. The mandala can be regarded as a symbol of supreme integrity. As I. Jacobi wrote: “The archetypal image of this combination of opposites, this unity of principles opposed to each other, their highest synthesis, is expressed through the so-called unifying symbol, which represents the subsystems of the mental substance as united and ordered on some higher plane”[5]. Various peoples use mandala, which reflects the inner integrity of a person. As Maria Louise von Franz writes: “The Naskapi Indians perceive the inner center directly and naively without the help of religious rites or teachings, while in other tribes they draw a magic circle to129.
