Hello Friends -
I have finally found a bit of time to begin working on creating my Blog. (In this case re-posting a number of earlier Blogs to 'catch up') Blogging was new to me then and I hope you will bear with me.
I'll start by sharing some thoughts regarding accessing our deeper being. Why? Because it is a first step in the fulfilling creation of personal mandalas, plus - it's been shown to be very beneficial for the healthy body-mind and we can all use more of that.
We have a place of calm and quiet deep within us. The noise of outer activity, the call of obligations, the myriad thoughts that flash through our heads each day can, and do, often drown out the wonderful peaceful 'sound' of the stillness within. However, we possess the power to turn our thoughts and take a needed break.
Let's sit down, close our eyes, notice the soft inhale-exhale of our breath and settle for a few minutes in our precious heart-center. Here is where we need to be to stay connected to peace and replenishment. And, while it feels like a respite for the mind it is also a healing balm for the body. Even 5-7 minutes can restore as we reconnect to our inner being and remember that we possess a divine spirit, in fact, we all are - divine spirits. Breathing quietly, stay seated and calm for as long as time allows and from the heart center think in terms of gratitude. Perhaps gratitude for simply this very moment! Or gratitude for anything else that comes to mind. Gratitude is a sacred state and there is no ego attachment, only a feeling of contentment and even wonder. It is from this quiet, inner place that we can feel the love and abundance in our universe and remember who we really are.
Once you feel a sense of comfort and peace, allow it to spread throughout your body-mind. Take a longer, deeper breath and slowly open your eyes. Things look different, don't they? This is a beautiful point from which we can begin to take up our pencil and slowly draw a circle as we consider what might fill it. If we like, this can be the point of beginning our mandala drawing.
I am happy to be here with you and I look forward to sharing thoughts, suggestions, articles and art all related to our Mandala Moments in life.
Happy Day! Chandra ♥
