Ancient mandalas were used as a meditation tool that had spiritual benefits in different cultures.  They were mostly associated with Eastern cultures and religions. The healing benefits were intended to restore inner peace and wisdom within.  Some of the symbols that are recognizable in the mandalas are the wheel with eight spokes, bells, triangles, lotus flowers and the sun.
