THE WORLD

Throughout my life mandalas have been popping up and with them have come an interesting series of opportunities to make BIG changes from travel, creating my'home' wherever that may be, entering or renewing  relationships, changing or developing my career, altering family dynamics, sometimes recreating myself, and other life shifts. They all required a creative mix of effort, knowledge from experience and most importantly being courageous enough to bring about the changes even if at times there was regret...ooops that was not a good decision.  Mandalas have shown me that in some way we are all profoundly linked with everyone and everything in what is called - the dance of life. We follow the dips and the rises, the twists and turns, the joys and the sorrows. 

By 'living' I am making the commitment to life, the mandala, the whole package and I join with others in the dance.

TALKING BLUE

The language of mandalas speaks through symbolism expressing what lies in the unconscious - our 'unknown' knowledge. 
Lapis blue in ancient times resembled the blue of the heavens symbolising our expansive understanding, intellectual analysis, problem solving abilities and the creating of new ideas. This blue is about order and a strong sense of morality/laws. A powerful colour for activating the higher mind and enhancing intellectual ability, it stimulates the desire for knowledge, truth and understanding, and aids the process of learning.

Blue is associated with the throat chakra and represents spiritual connection; it symbolizes self expression, the teller of truth and clear communication.
