6 Components to Our Whole Self:
Mental: thoughts, intellect, gaining of knowledge;
Emotional: feelings that come in and out all day long like waves, and the deeper emotional current that is your more constant state;
Spiritual: intuition, inner guidance, your expression and experience of God, Higher Power, Source;
Physical: your actual body that you can see and touch and all the inner systems and organs of your body such as, nervous system, heart, lungs, etc.
Energetic: the part of our self that we “sense” with, also called an aura, in yoga referred to as the Chakra system;
Self-Expression: our voice, what is ours to say and share, how we share our gifts with others, our unique talents and passions.

Mandalas are held to symbolize a striving for unity of self and completeness.
