Last month’s MOTM was about finding balance and being gentle on ourselves. Regardless of setbacks, keep moving forward. Apparently, this month we expand on this them to add persistence to the mix.
May 2009 – Delicate Balance
This was a two day process. Yesterday while meditating I saw the 3-pointed celtic-like image. The rest came today while sketching out the entire mandala.
April 2009 – Pretty, Please
The words, “Pretty, Please” came to mind while I was doing something else and I happened to ask myself, ‘what is the word or phrase for this mandala?’
March 2009 – Eureka!
Our goal this month is to take the time to find our nuggets of gold buried deep within; our talents, skills, joys, laughter, etc. Focus on that, let that be our quest. As the negative speak comes to the surface, acknowledge it, thank it for share, and then let it go. Continue onward and upward.
February 2009 – Calmness
This mandala is about creating calmness in our lives regardless of what’s going on around us…In general, coloring, and especially coloring mandalas, is a fun way to meditate allowing you to achieve calmness.
January 2009 – Acceptance
More importantly, we need to accept ourselves just as we are right now in this moment and without judgment.

Some of you, including myself, may have thought that this month’s mandala would be seasonal (holidays, winter, etc.). However when…
November 2008
At some angles, it looks like a bunch of ‘Y’s, which makes me think that this mandala would be a good one to contemplate the ‘whys’ in your life. Do you have any burning ‘whys’?
October 2008
At first it may look like circular objects (mini mandalas? snow? rain drops?) falling down from the sky. Look at it again. Imagine your a bird flying around and you happen to look down.
September 2008
“It’s amazing how simple it is to be at peace. Just stop. And be.” Let that be your mantra for September and ponder it as you color September’s mandala.
