Sažetak

Vitally creative forces in nature enable growth, leaving reflections – matrices in their material manifestations. In nature, one of the most remarkable is the central composition of the (natural) mandala. The article refers to the known attributes of the mandala - for the purposes of treatment, potentially establishing balance between the four functions of consciousness: intuition, feeling, sensation and thinking. It leads the human to wholeness and a harmonious and balanced relationship with the self. The results of the research conducted with preschool children, who used mandala compositions as incentives, are presented. The paper shows that a creative gene of the very nature’s character, through the matrix of the mandala, can be associated with the possibility to successfully motivate children’s attention and encourage them to perform art work upon observation, owing to the psyche’s structure being innately developed in humans since birth, and which children intuitively experience.
