Welcome to this week’s Inspiration Mandala titled “Dragon Mandala”.
This mandala was inspired by the Feng Shui remedy of a dragon. I wanted to put something in my house that was a symbol of strength, protection and prosperity. So this is the mandala that emerged from that intention.
Each month I want to shine a spotlight on how business owners incorporate their creativity across all aspects of their life, and give some ‘behind the scenes’ insight into how they started and plan for their business.
This month I’d like to introduce you to The Creative Life of Fay Chan.
Fay runs Budgeting123 as a Financial Readiness and Budgeting Coach. Fay helps individuals and families to plan their household savings and spending goals. The foundation of her work is based on awareness and responsibility – knowing where your money goes and where it doesn’t go!
So what has all of this number stuff got to do with creativity? And no, it has nothing to do with creative accounting :-).
I really enjoyed talking to Fay because she links numbers, money and creativity with being spiritual, empowered and on purpose. I was also in awe of the importance that Fay places on being aligned and grounded in relation to her creativity and how she works. Her creative practices may appear simple, but they are consistent with what research is discovering about the creative process*, and are helping Fay achieve consistent and great results for her business and clients.
So please read Fay’s candid and inspiring interview to find out, amongst other things, about:
Welcome to this week’s Mandala Inspiration called “The Magic of Possibility”.
This week I decided again to start drawing a mandala without a clear plan for this week’s theme. This is what emerged. It’s far from perfect – lopsided really :-), but I’m still happy with it overall. It expresses an inner core that is in the process of moving and expanding outwards.
Welcome to this week’s Mandala Inspiration called “Finding Your Way”.
This week I had a few ideas for prompts to use to create a mandala but none of them felt right. So instead I decided to draw whatever mandala came up. At first I felt a bit lost and uncertain about where it was going to go. So I just sat with it and let the mandala gradually emerge. As I finished it I received a very clear and simple message, which I used to title this mandala.
This week’s mandala was inspired by all of the recent flux and change that we’re seeing in the world. It feels like there are lots of balls in the air and it’s not certain when or where they’ll drop. Many of these changes will not be resolved in the short term, so this week’s mandala is about being able to sit within all of that uncertainty and stay calm.
