Monday’s Mandala making reminds me of what I choose in my life and how we consciously choose what we create in our lives. My figure in the center is a flowing tree that is holding the space. As I created the strong lines and leaves I could feel the flow of emotions of holding the emotional space for others and as I sat with those feelings, a deeper realization emerged. It was the holding of the space for the flow of my emotions, a reminder of how easily it is to be in other people’s pain and lose sight of my needs. So I allow the flow of feelings to move through my image, knowing it is all part of nature, and my being. I come back to the reminder that I consciously choose to honor my needs and be in self-love.
