I started a new project this year called the Mandala of the Year, where I create one section of a mandala per month. Each month the design will be different, and unknown to me until I sit down each month to create it :-). I hope that many people will participate and post their colorings on my Mandala of the Year Flickr page.
I also intended this project to be one of inner reflection for me and to change my life for the better so I can live a more wholehearted life. I’ve chosen to use Jampolsky’s Love is Letting Go of Fear book as my guide for this process…as synchronicity would have it, the book contains 12 lessons…1 lesson per section. 🙂
Lesson 1 is entitled: All the I give is given to myself.
Using a circular stroke, I filled in the upper background with dark green

Any insights I gain from coloring this section, I’ll post as comments on this month’s section of the Mandala of the Year, where you can download the section for yourself to color.
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?
