25-09 The Basics

The Mandala Lady,

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 ninth “mile” of our pilgrimage encourages us to take care of the basics when it comes to overall health and well-being. Are we eating properly, drinking enough water, getting enough rest? It begs the question: how can we take care of everything else in our lives if we’re not even taking care of ourselves?

The answer to that question: we can’t. So what can we do? We can remind ourselves to stop throughout the day to check-in with how we are feeling: Physically, Mentally, Emotionally, Spiritually. What of our basics needs requires our attention?

It may be that all we need to is take a couple of deep, conscious breaths to clear our heads, allowing ourselves a moment to assess what truly needs to be done in that moment.

How about you? Do you do regular check-ins with yourself? Do you follow through on what you need in that moment?

Wanna color?

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?
