23-23 Embrace Your Future

The Mandala Lady,

Download and color this week’s
Mandala of the Week

This week’s MotW is inspired by Jack Canfield’s “The Success Principles”, namely Principle #29: Complete the Past to Embrace Your Future. Canfield states: “Some people go through life as if they have a big anchor behind them, weighing them down. If they could release it, they would be able to move faster and succeed more easily. … The truth is…we need to let go of the past to embrace the future.” This week’s mandala design represents our quandary: do we want to stay in the “comfort” of our cocoon or do we want to soar as the butterflies that we are meant to be?

Over the next seven days, I’ll be delving deeper into this principle via multiple colorings of this mandala and posting them on the Mandalas of the Day. My plan this week is to look at what parts of my past that I am still holding onto that keeps me from flying.

So how about you? Do you have “anchors” holding your back? What in your past, keeps you from embracing your future? What from your past are you ready to release?

“What the caterpillar calls
the end of the world
the master calls a butterfly.”

— Richard Bach

An Invitation

I invite you to color along with me this year as part of what I’m calling “The Year of Self-Exploration and Expansion” with all of my “Mandalas of the ___” (day, week, month, year). If you’re interested in a more self-exploration approach to coloring, check out my “Coloring Mandalas as Meditation”.

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?
