MARI® Session
MARI® is a creative assessment based on colors and symbols, known as mandalas, which provides you with a visual picture of your psyche. The MARI® measures all four aspects of consciousness—thinking, feeling, intuiting and sensing.
Information is based down to us genetically from the countless generations who came before us. For thousands of years, humans have made other than conscious connections to symbols and colors. Today we know that, just like the memories of our grandmothers, this knowledge of symbols and color is part of what we know. We know it on an unconscious level but do not know it consciously. MARI® is accurate because this unconscious knowing informs our intuitive choices of symbol and color. MARI® is a whole-brain instrument that includes both conscious and unconscious elements of our whole psyche.
The person taking the MARI assessment selects symbol and color pairs which are laid out on the Great Round, a series of twelve developmental stages. These stages are arranged in the exact same way humans process the environment. On a neurological level we conceive of forward motion through time in the same way that the sun traverses the sky. The developmental stages of the MARI, similarly, are arranged in the same way. The MARI, like our brains, is linked to the environment and cued to the natural cycles.
