Welcome to this week’s Mandala Inspiration called “Breathe”.
This mandala is another inspired by the chakra energy series – the Solar Plexus Chakra in particular. This chakra is located around the navel and is associated with our physical and emotional centre. When in balance the solar plexus allows us to act with integrity and confidence. This chakra is said to energise us with a source of purpose, drive and motivation.
The mandala’s message of inspiration:

This week I let you in behind the scenes to show you a bit more about the process I go through to draw my mandalas.
This mandala is from my personal sketchbook collection from about two years ago. There was a period when I would draw a mandala each day. It helped me practice drawing mandalas. I also became more comfortable in facing the blank page and the uncertainty of not knowing what mandala would emerge in the end.
After I finished drawing the day’s mandala, I would do stream of consciousness writing to reveal the mandala’s title and message for me. You can see the sketch book page below.
These pages were not created with any intention of ever showing them to anyone else. But this process has built the foundation for how I still draw mandalas to this day.
Here is the image in greater detail.
In the last two weeks, I have been blown away by the great positive response I’ve received to two mandalas that I’ve shared. And it’s reminded me of a simple way to mix things up, break ruts and overcome feeling stuck about a creative project.
