Mandala-Jim
On Saturday, I presented on how you can use Mandala’s to let
go, gain mindfulness, slow down an impulsive child, restore self, and unlock unconscious
thoughts. This post comes to you with
that in mind.
I encourage you to create your own Mandala (see the
directions below). The key to using
this approach is to allow yourself to fully experience the process. Don’t judge your work; let it be a free
expression of your unconscious mind.
How to:
1-Print off a mandala from printmandala.com and color it in with your
choice of art suppliesOR-Use colorful objects (sand, stone, flowers, etc…) and a large circle to create your own
2-While doing it be silent, listen to calming music, or the nature around you
3-Let it go-brush the objects away or close the coloring page
4-Reflect on your experience, your thoughts, and your feelings.
5-Enjoy a more peaceful start to your day or evening
Some theorists do this every morning to clear their minds for the day. Some do it every evening to unload the
day. People spend minutes, hours, or
even weeks on the same Mandala. Do what
you need there are no rules. The only
key is to let it go when you’re done (in your own time).
