25-14 Laughter

The Mandala Lady,
MotW 25-14 Laughter — after with colors of pink, maroon, and turquoise

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 fourteenth “mile” of our pilgrimage encourages us to find the funny, to bring more laughter into our lives…especially with all the chaos and uncertainty in the world these days. It’s not so much to be in denial about the severity of what’s going on, it’s about bringing some balance to our psyche so that we can better manage all that other stuff.

Start paying attention to what makes us laugh. What do we find funny? Do we have a sense of humor? Do we have people around us who can help us laugh? Are we able to help others laugh?

Know this, just as yawns and fear are contagious, so is laughter! Ever notice how when other people laugh it can trigger us to laugh as well. And the beauty of laughter is that it lifts everyone’s spirits, reduces cortisol (stress hormone), and raises oxytocin and dopamine (feel good hormones), all of which gives us a better outlook on ourselves and life in general.

So…allow yourself to feel the giggles…and then notice how you feel afterwards.

How about you? Could you use a good laugh right now? Give yourself a healthy dose of it. Your soul will thank you for it.

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?
