Message
For me, the essence of this week’s lessons is to approach peace and happiness from several perspectives. At the heart of it, this is an internal quest. It takes awareness and choosing again.
As we become aware of our fear-based state of mind—in any of its forms—we’re encouraged to take an extra moment to be present with what we’re feeling: anger, agitation, guilt, worry. Acknowledge it, name it, and recognize that we made the choice to feel this way—usually unconsciously. This puts us in neutral.
Here’s where the simple magic comes in. Because what we’re feeling is a choice, if we don’t like that feeling, we get to choose again.
Just as fear and anger are a choice, so are peace, love, and happiness. It’s our choice.
Ponder this as you color this week’s mandala.
Peace & Blessings,
