Magical Mandala...Burst Open

There is a moment when your must burst open...
When the bud can no longer be tight...
BURST OPEN...
Push your face toward the sun to feel your warmth...
Turn gently to feel your beauty...
BURST OPEN...
Trust that your roots are strong...

***There is a moment when you feel it..the tight bud loosening....Allow yourself to nourish it slowly and it will unravel...as you face your sun and feel the warmth of your truth and your own beautiful soul you become aware of your growth...of your busting open...Be aware that this moment is yours alone and by honoring it you begin to fill yourself up with your true beauty..BURST OPEN with your belief and know that you are strongly rooted to your own spirit...Be aware of your true glorious self. Today, may you feel yourself strengthening enough to burst open with the delight of your spirit.

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....

Magical Mandala...Unlimited Energy

Connecting with my core gives me strength...the glow from within gives me unlimited energy...I release my tension...I breathe in fresh energy...I give myself power...I strengthen my abilities...
I blossom and grow....

***I am aware today of some tension that surrounds me...So I breathe...breathe deep into my core...I am silent...I feel the calm coming over me and the tension releasing...I am aware of the warm glow of the spirit within...I breathe the deepness that is ME...Today, I am aware that if I need the time to let some things go...I must give myself that moment...It allows me to feel my power...It allows me to remember my abilities...It allows me to blossom and grow! Today, if you feel tension within you...stop for a moment...sit and silence yourself...and breathe...breathe deep into your core...you will feel the warmth coming back...you will feel the power rising up....you will strengthen your growth and blossom......(if you take on 5% of your positive energy every time you are feeling your tension...WOW...before long the tension won't have anywhere to place itself!!)...TRUST YOURSELF!

Magical Mandala...Inner Radiance

Connecting.....Connecting with my joy...with my paper and paint...
Connecting.....Connecting with my inner most self...
Connecting.....Connecting with my inspiration...
Connecting.....Connecting with my splendor...my part in the Universe...
Connecting with myself allows me to connect with my inner radiance...

*** Today I am aware that I have a great need to create in silence...to be alone in my space
surrounded by my paint, my paper, my pens...I have been given back these moments of joy
and I am feeling a peacefulness that has been missing...I am feeling grateful today for allowing
myself this connection once again. Today, I am aware that this is not a selfish act...that by being
true to myself, by connecting to my inner radiance I am a much happier person. I can create
easier, life seems fuller, the sun shines brighter, and those around me are aware of the change
that comes over me when this connection takes place. So today, I am aware...I am aware that I
am an artist! May you find a moment today to honor your connection with your radiance. May you find a silence within to connect to and find your splendor, your creativity, your part in this big picture of life.
Artfully Yours,

Eyes Wide Open...

It is 2:42 AM...Rain is softly falling outside and I have awoken from a sound sleep! My eyes popped open and I knew at that moment what it was that I am suppose to do next...I told myself that I would post in the morning, but my moment said to do it NOW! So here I sit in front of this machine....I have been doing my affirmations for 2 years now...almost every day till several months ago...I know what stopped me, and there is no need to express that because I know. But why I let that stop me has remained a mystery to me. Doing the affirmations has been a powerful source of knowledge for ME about ME. They have allowed me a place where I could talk to myself in such a positive way that I could overcome most of my shadow demons....but I let that slip...I took it away from myself. So today, I give it back....It will be taking on a different form, but it will still reveal what my heart knows as my own truth. For 4 years now I have been making Mandalas. There is something about the circle and the freedom to place anything within that circle that my heart desires...and then to find what it is and let it speak to me. My friend, Cheryl has been making Mandalas this past year on a regular basis, and it has prompted me to get back into them. So this site will now take on that feel of Mandala making...and the thoughts that I have to go with them. I invite you to come along on this adventure....I invite you to share your Mandala Magic here with me...I invite you to comment.
I remember as a child talking to myself and receiving my answers...I also remember people telling me that it was a little "crazy" to do things like that....So I pushed it down deep within...As I got older and kept journals I realize now that they were filled with a lot of questions...not a lot of answers because I did not want to think of myself as "crazy"! NOW I REALIZE...NOW I KNOW...that these are MY ANSWERS...this is my soul, my heart, my core...telling me my truths and by not acknowledging them I do not acknowledge myself. This is nothing new to the Universe...no great rock has been rolled over and something new discovered...This is just ME getting back to ME...and hopefully it will lead you to get back to something you let slip away. (whatever that might be) So my soul is smiling now...I have put this down as my intention...I have acknowledged and accepted it as my truth...My wish for you is that you find an AHA moment (maybe not at 3 in the morning!!) but that you discover and then follow it so that your soul smiles also....I will see you soon with the first of many Magical Mandala Moments....
