My Mandala problem

I haven't been able to make a single decent mandala for at least two months. Either it is becase I can't meditate or because the thoughts and emotions are in the manic phase, whereby it never stays still. Like the Chamber of Secrets whizzing keys.

"A mandala is a symbolic portrait of integrated parts that reveal an overall pattern of wholeness. They show you the relationship between various aspects of yourself and the world. While traditional mandalas are frequently geometric, [others] tend to be more organic, following the natural chaos that is life itself."

Mandalas are supposed to heal the rifts and inner conflicts. Anyway, since I can't make any ones I actually want to keep, I'll just meditate on another's.

This one is a computer generated 'Allah' one (I personally can't see the Allah bit, but I like the colours)

This one is called 'Feet in Nature' - by Sigfrid. I just love the composition of the painting (ha, I act as if I know what that means!) I'd love to rub my feet against those *wicked grin*

This one is stained glass. Talented people and they sell them for a heck of a load of money, which menas that people hen actually buy them. *shakes head* The mandala tradition is old, probably along the line of the yoga tradition, but not quite that old.

The parents

Your Type Four EnneaThought for January 13th— Reflect on your childhood today. As a child, did you believe you were not like your parents? Did you feel that you were not "seen" by your parents and that you did not connect sufficiently with your parents? As an adult, what does this have to do with you now? (The Wisdom of the Enneagram, 182) As I've said myriad times before, these things just slap me in the face with a wet fish most days. I suppose it makes sense that I should send Reiki healing to my relationships with my father and my mother. Haven't really done that for ages. It's too hard sometimes, I choose to ignore and avoid dealing with them mainly because these are the two people I've been connected with since birth. A lot of effort is required in order to 'let things slide'. Living with my dad is hell, and I'm co-creating it on purpose, as part of my desire to annoy, to hurt him the way he hurts me. My mum, well, I guess we'...

Je dois écrire

Je dois écrire . L'ironie est que quand j'avais le temps, je na'i pu pas fair rien . Doesn't matter, I have to write. I keep listening to poets like Keane and Travis and Darren Hayes and I'm here, with the creativity finally bursting forth again, and what's more, the joie de vivre bursting through and I'm not writing and I'm not taking pictures and I'm doing bloody cashier work at Oxfam. I am a swan, I am a seagull that glides and glides. I am the tree, the squirrel. Words are all I have to make myself different from you lot. To make myself lighter, somewhat more worthy. How low is my self esteem that I still believe those falsehoods. I just cannot find people on my wave length. It means I never shall. Or I do and because of my skin colour or because I am behind the Oxfam counter, or because I am in Morden, or London, or the UK, I shall never know. An opera singer. A person who wants to wear kurtis but is scared of going into a desi shop i...

Judgement

Tarot Card Interpretation & Meaning - (20) Judgment Introduction: Judgment can be a card about jumping to conclusions, decisions and judgments. which are too hastily made. If you are prone to such things, this is a clear signal to slow down and give things more thought and to give people "more chances." This can be a real time of spiritual awakening. General: In general, if you are the one tending to jump to conclusions, you can put a stop to it. If others are making these kinds of decisions about you or about someone you care for, there is really very little you can do, apart from realizing that it's their problem, not yours.
