Pilgrimage of Healing and Consciousness

For 2025, we’re embarking on a 52-week pilgrimage of inward healing, growth, and self-discovery…and ultimately, peace…regardless of whether the healing is related to addiction, grief, or any other challenge we seek to overcome.

The fourth “mile” of this pilgrimage encourages us to change our perspective regarding “problems”, which tends to put us in victim mode, and instead converting them into challenges, which puts us in empowerment mode.

From the place of challenges, we can use the “pressure” of them to strengthen us and make us more determined to plow through them rather than letting them take hold of the reins.

It also behooves us to prioritize our challenges by letting go of the ones that distract us and keeping the ones that align with our values, helping us to move forward.

How about you? How do you view problems? Can you see them as challenges? Which ones conveniently distract you? Which ones align with your values?

Wanna color too?

If you would like to receive a free PDF copy of this mandala to color for yourself as part of this pilgrimage, let me know via my CONTACT ME page.

🏵️ Creating Mandalas — Awakening Inner Harmony

About the 2025 Mandalas of the Week

Each week I will create a new mandala design to color, along with my coloring of it, and a weekly message and prompt for us to continue on our quest throughout the year. All of which is inspired by Melody Beattie’s book entitled “52 Weeks of Consciousness Contact”.

I will be breaking down each week’s topic into daily insights and images (inspired by Melody’s book) on my blog site: MandalaoftheDay.com where I’ll be creating/building one giant mandala (48”x48”), one puzzle piece of it each day.

May Peace Prevail on Earth and in our Hearts

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?
