Exploring the Spiritual Path of the 12 Steps

Step 8: Compassion

For this step we are encouraged to actively practice self-love and compassion, extending this energy to others as well. This includes having a forgiveness practice. Resentment can take a physical toll as well as plague our minds with negativity. Forgiving ourselves and others will lift that weight from us.

In the traditional 12-Step program, this is the step where we would make a list of all persons we had harmed, which includes ourselves, and then become willing to make amends to all, in whatever way possible and/or whenever possible.

btw…there are 24 interwoven petals in this design.

If you are part of a 12-Step program, you’re welcome to share this post and mandala with whomever you feel would benefit.

Peace & Blessings,

About the 2025 Mandalas of the Month

Each month this year I will create and post a mandala to color as it relates to one of the 12 Steps of recovery…with a more metaphysical interpretation. Regardless of whether we have any addictions or not, let’s face it…we’re all in recovery from something. More importantly, we’re all needing/wanting to heal from our fears and limiting beliefs so that we can all live to and become our full potential.

This along with the “Mandalas of the Day/Week/Year”…tie into my overall theme for 2025: “Let There Be Peace”.

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits. Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it. As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
