Whenever I create a mandala, I meditate on a person / client beforehands. I try to be connected as long as I am working on it. Once I have no connection, I stop working.

While I was working on this mandala, I was surrounded by this beautiful rays of light; it was a similar experience to the one we feel at a holy place. I did not want to be disconnected from this energy. It was quite a unique experience for me.
