On June 11, 12 and today I started and continued painting the “Excellence” Mandala. I’m using artist-quality markers (prismacolor & tombow). This mandala’s message is “Forget about perfection…Strive for Excellence.”
A wise holistic chiropractor once told me that perfection in the human form is unattainable. Even if it was attainable, who’s standard would we use for perfection? mine? ours? our government? the latest fasionista? He also stated that as spiritual beings, we are already perfect. So seeking perfection is a waste of time and energy.
Excellence on the other hand is attainable and a worthy goal. A good mantra along these lines is “every day, in every way I am getting better and better.
My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways
For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits.
Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it.
As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
