Do not focus on the sense of lack...
Fill yourself with positive thoughts...
Fill yourself with empowerment...
Fill yourself with abundance...
Fill yourself with gratitude...
Appreciate the abundance you have and shift your thinking....

***It is easy to get stuck in the emptiness of feeling like something is lacking...Especially at this the holiday season...There just seems to be that over lying feeling of...NOT ENOUGH...sometimes, it is "NOT ENOUGH TIME"..."NOT ENOUGH MONEY" ..."NOT ENOUGH ENERGY"...Whatever it is doesn't really matter...they are feelings that one must acknowledge...but once you have said HELLO to them...give them a quick pat and then it is best to say GOOD BYE just as quickly...If you continue to focus on them they grow...grow with such a strength that they become weeds so deeply rooted that it takes a great deal of energy to rid yourself of them....So today, as we approach the beginning of the holiday season give your inner spirit a lift and fill yourself with positive thoughts....Allow yourself an extra 5 minutes to feel your power...allow yourself to feel the abundance of love and happiness that you have in your life...allow yourself to make gifts from the heart instead of store bought things...allow yourself to bring your gratitude that can flow right to your heart...So today, may you feel a shift in your thinking, and notice how you can flow the abundance that you do have back to your spirit...
BLESSINGS TO ALL FOR A HEART FELT THANKSGIVING...

Magical Mandala...Ride your wave

Ride your wave as your tide ebbs and flows...
Rock gently...allow your current to take you forward
than back...then forward again...
your strength will carry you through the currents
with your faith...
Ride your wave...
And listen as you approach your shore...

***Riding your wave is sometimes the most difficult thing that you have to do...When your wave is at its ebb we sometimes become so comfortable there that when it flows we get fearful...afraid that we will be pulled under and never resurface...however, if we allow our self to rely on our strength and our faith in our self than the current is only there to swirl and present a different view for us to see...The flow of our waves brings us closer to our shores of contentment...Today, as you ride your wave, may you be aware where it is that you are...if you are in a ebb or a flow...high tide...or low tide...either way...gently rock there allowing the movement to show you a different view of things that are, and things that are yet to be...and then with your strength hold on to your sails and rock...forward..back...forward..back...and see your horizon...

Be at peace with the sound of your silence...
Listen....Listen to your spirit as you fly with your growth
Be at peace with the buds as they sprout into the newness of the day...
Be at peace as you soar to new heights...
gently...softly...
swift with the wind...
Be at peace with the sound of your silence...

***Be aware that with growth you must add silence to be at peace with the stretching that takes place. The newness of the seedlings of growth needs the silence for you to listen to the wisdom that your life has to offer up...As the winds change you must be at peace in order to shift and adjust to the newness of the day. Be at peace and listen to your spirit...both old and new sides and be gentle...gentle with your growth...SEE AND KNOW YOUR PEACE. Today, may you be aware that silence does not mean you have nothing to say, but rather it gives you the opportunity to listen closely to what your soul is telling you...May you be aware today of the silent moments that surround your spirit so that it can speak its soft message to you.

Magical Mandala...Participate

Participate in the weaving...

with strength...with hope...
with love...with generosity..
with wisdom...
play with the weaving of your life...
and leave room...
room for your growth...

***There are times when it is much easier to allow someone else to make a decision...to give permission...to take charge. Once we start this process we lose part of our strength...we lose part of our souls...our spirit. Be aware to take time to participate in the weaving of your life...pick your colors...pick your purpose...pick your hopes and desires and weave them slowly...steadily into the fabric of your dreams...Today, may you be aware of all the decisions that you need to make for yourself in order to be true to who you really are.

Magical Mandala...Let the Outside In

Bring that which is around you in...
Allow yourself to witness what it can show you...
Let it touch your soul to allow
you to grow beyond your circle...
Let the outside in...
Breathe in the strength..
the beauty...
Renew your spirit

***By staying in the comfort of your space...your mind...your zone often something NEW will throw you off balanced...Be aware to let the outside in...be aware to entwine both the familiar and the unfamiliar...by doing so you open up to so many possibilities. By letting the outside in you will lay witness to a new strength...a new beauty...a re-newed spirit. May you take the comfort of today and let one small new growth come in from the outside to blossom and take a place within your soul to enrich your spirit.

Magical Mandala...Paradise

Let your bird of paradise open...
Let it stir your heart with messages...
of beauty...of belief...of joyous color...
Let your bird of paradise grow strong
and open its glorious wings...
Then let it take flight...

***Take time to watch for your blooms after a rain...Once you open your eyes and look for the growth that your rain afforded you...Let your blossoms stir your heart...turn them over gently in your hands and feel the message....water, nurture and tend to the growth...take your time, there is no hurry to force it to grow to fast...But once you are able .... TAKE FLIGHT!
May you be aware of your blooms, your seedlings of growth, so that you can tend to your soul in order to be able to fly...

Magical Mandala...Cracking Open

Let the thunder within crack you open...
Let the rain pour out...
Let yourself feel the force and power from deep within...
Let it lead the way to your stars...
Let the thunder within crack you open...
Do not fear your power...
Do not fear the darkness...
Do not fear your rain...

***Be aware that sometimes a huge storm must occur to crack you open...Tears and pain driving very hard...the force and power from deep within that often comes before change is allowed. Letting the thunder crack me open is giving way to the rain of tears...which in the past has made me feel weak and small...this rain makes me feel that a new dawn is approaching and I will soon surrender to the calm and growth this storm will allow me...
May you come to know your storm as something that is given to you so that you can quiet yourself, and become aware that growth is about to happen. It is often the fear and change of growth that allows the thunder to crack us open...A good storm may sometimes make you fearful, but when the rain and thunder is over we see a new day before us. May you be aware of your thunder and may you allow it to crack you open toward new stars....

Pattie

Magical Mandala...Welcome

Be welcomed.....to the peace...
Be welcomed...to the calm...
Be welcomed...to the joy...
Let yourself be welcomed....embrace...be aware...
be truthful...be open...
Feel deep the welcome...

Be aware as you change environments or move into different stages of your life....Do not fear such changes, but rather feel the welcome...feel the sudden change of the wind and the slightest shift in your body..in your mind...and welcome it...For if you eliminate the fear and embrace the welcome you will feel an open sense so you can better receive all that is about to unfold around you....May you remember to always feel the welcome!

***I have been visiting friends in the paradise called, Key West, Florida! I have had the opportunity to be welcomed with such a warmth of friendship and love ... these next 9 mandalas were done while visiting with them and the learning that took place while I was there...
