Welcome to this week’s Inspiration Mandala titled “Strength in Numbers”.
You are not alone.
Believe that no matter where you are or what you do,
that there is support and strength at your disposal.
Call upon those you trust around you for help and guidance.
Seek inspiration and wisdom from those that have walked this path before you. Be brave enough to ask for what you need, and
have the courage to step beyond your fears to speak your Truth.
Shine a light that others might also see it
and decide to join you in moving forward.
You are stronger and more supported than you might think, so claim it.
Curious about mandalas?
Mandalas are an ancient and sacred art form that involve creating patterns and shapes within a circle.
Mandalas have been around for centuries. They have been used in various cultures and traditions (ranging from Tibetan Buddhist sand mandalas, Native American medicine wheels, and rose stained glass windows in Gothic cathedrals). Mandalas have also been used by psychiatrist Carl Jung with his patients after he discovered that drawing within a circle could be used as a tool for self-expression.
There is power when you create a mandala with an underlying intention.
The act of sitting down and drawing a mandala also creates an opportunity to be still and totally absorbed in the task at hand. Drawing a mandala can be relaxing and form part of mindfulness practice. Its calming effect can ground and centre us. It can also provide us with a tool for self-expression and reflection.
Mandalas can also be used as part of a meditation practice.
You use the mandala to settle your mind and provide a focus point for your eyes to rest on during your mediation. Whenever your mind gets distracted then bring back your focus to the mandala. For more information on how to mediate on a mandala.
