Magical Mandala...Ask

Ask yourself...Your soul...Your roots...Your spirit...
Ask what it is that needs to come forth...
Ask what it is that needs to open and grow...
Ask yourself...Your soul...Your roots...Your spirit...
Then listen as the winds of who you are answer...

***Be aware of the questions you ask of yourself...Be aware of how you address your spirit...In a positive way as your sun rises be aware of the stirrings in your soul...your roots...your spirit... Take those moments of question and listen to the winds of who you are sway and offer up the answers...ASK yourself gently...ask yourself what direction and what nourishment you need to bring your spirits' seedling to the surface and sprout strong roots so you can grow toward your sun and stars...Ask and listen for your answers...If not today...try again tomorrow...
The answers will come.
Today, may you be aware that by asking yourself small questions every day in a positive tone, and then listening...being aware of the signs, your spirit will answer and let you know where to plant your seedling.

Magical Mandala...Be at peace

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...Parade

This is the time to have your parade...
to dance...sing...and enjoy...
to laugh...expose...and remember.
This is the time to listen to your music...
to follow your stars...
freedom...expression...play.
This is YOUR time...
Lead your parade.

***Be aware that there are many opportunities for you to play...let your heart soar with laughter...let it sing songs of love for you...When you become aware of these times you can expose your child like self and remember your joy...Let your heart flow to a freedom of your own expression...listen to the music of your soul and dance in your parade of self...
Today, may you lead yourself forward to your truth...with your soul music...may you use that music to soar to the front of your parade and lead yourself to your dreams.

Magical Mandala...Participate

Participate in the weaving...
reach beyond...take your time...
expand and develop...with purpose...
with competence...with will...
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...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...

Magical Mandala...Wings

~softly fluttering in a cool breeze...
~rapidly moving against a harsh wind...
~moving with grace and beauty...
~fragile and yet so strong...
Your wings are always there to carry you to great heights.

***There are days that my wings are quite apparent to me...they allow me to fly almost effortlessly with the cool breeze of my creative mind. There are other days when I am almost not aware that I have them...the wind is harsh and yet I know in my core that they will help me to soar once again. When I am aware of my ideas, my creativity, my spirit I can fly ... fly higher than I ever thought possible. Today, I am aware of the path that these wings take me...I am enjoying the flight...I am grateful for the knowledge that they allow me to see. Today, I know that my wings are there every day...some days I must just remember to fly right into the middle of the storm for that is where the calm is. Today, may you also be aware of your wings...may you remember that they are strong and can take you to all the places that you are dreaming of going all you have to do is BELIEVE and allow your wings to let you FLY!

Magical Mandala...Center

Look within...look deep...deep within to your center.
Listen...listen carefully...listen to the wisdom of your center.
Search...search within...search within for the answers from your center.
For it is from the center that we start to grow....

***Today, I am quiet with myself...I am looking, and listening, and searching for some answers from deep within. I believe that when I quiet myself and pay attention my answers swirl around me in a circle for me to see...I believe that all the answers that I need are there as long as I take the time to connect with them. Today, my center is open and I am aware. Today, may you take a moment to quiet yourself and look, listen and search your center for your answers...they may not be clear to you at first, it may feel a little uncomfortable at first...but eventually you will hear the sound of your own true voice.

Pattie

Magical Mandala...Hanging Heart

I am safe hanging my heart on this limb....I am safe because comfort surrounds me...
I am safe because the leaves of friendship are there to cradle me if I should suddenly slip...
I am safe hanging my heart on this limb...I am safe for I am circled with love...I am circled
with faith...I am circled with belief...I am circled with hope....
I am safe hanging my heart on this limb...I am safe because I am holding on to my own truth.

*** Today, I am aware of the friendship that I have with so many like spirits. I am aware that we are all there to help each other when we hang our hearts out on the limb...When we expose our truths, not only to our self but to others. Today, I am aware that there is nothing so dark that a friend cannot help to shine a little light in our direction...and by feeling the warmth of that light we can perhaps see down the tunnel of darkness. I am aware today, that I am safe, that exposure does not have to be a negative, but rather it can be a beginning to a new day. I am aware today more so than yesterday that I am surrounded by loving, supportive spirits that will cradle me should I start to fall...Blessings to all of YOU...And today, may you also find a moment to be aware of those friendships, and may you circle yourself in HOPE for tomorrow.

Pattie

Magical Mandala...Bliss

A circle of bliss...of remembering...of allowing...of following...of creating...of connecting.
A circle of bliss...of gratitude...of joy...of love.
A circle of bliss...of pleasures..of moments.

***This morning I am aware of my bliss...Coming back to my affirmations has been a blessing for me, allowing me to once again tap into the energy and positive joy of my life. When following my hearts desires to the fullest extent every day I have found a peace in starting the day with these affirmations. I am aware that being quiet with myself in the beginning of my day helps me to focus better to what it is that I need to be grateful for. By acknowledging those things, and myself I am able to experience and see all the pleasures of the moments of the day. Today may you be aware of your bliss... may you remember your grateful moments...may you connect a little more with yourself.

Magical Mandala...Flying Heart

I can feel the sensation of my creativity....It starts with a flutter...it bubbles and stirs...it stretches and glows from within....waiting...then bursting forth with paper, paints, and pens...
I can feel the sensation of my heart flying within me....I am aware...I am grateful...

****I felt it calling me today, and it was almost effortless to create..My hands worked faster than my brain at moments. I dipped the brushes in paint on paper, on wood, on books....It warms me on this brisk fall afternoon...I am happy...I am creating...I am aware...I am grateful!
May you feel the warmth of your creativity and the stirring of your heart taking flight as you give way to it...(I am so much happier now that I have new paper and can do my mandalas with acrylic paint...comfort for me!!)
