Originally protected as esoteric knowledge, labyrinths and mandalas are becoming widely recognized by the psychological and medical professions as powerful healing and teaching tools. This is due, in part, to the acceptance that modern force field theory and wave mechanics validate the ancient geometric-harmonic vision of universal order represented by these symbols.

     A personal contention is that throughout time these symbols aided humankind's intellectual and spiritual ascension. Present day application of these tools is evident by the use of labyrinths and mandalas by correctional and hospital administrators as an alternative crisis intervention method.
