I’ve just begun, very slowly, the study of a new creative thought process, and meditation technique. For a while now I’ve been inspired by the images of sacred geometry, especially the Flower of Life. There have been a lot of synchronicities, with the image seeming to follow me everywhere.

I know, I take a while to get the hint. But there are so many fun creative things to do that I just can’t seem to get to them all sometimes!

Anyway, ElvenTiger, BlackLion, and I decided to take a class in zentangling, which was being offered by a cherished friend at our homeschool co-op. It’s so much fun!

I love the shapes and patterns, and it’s so easy to go into “the zone” of meditation while zentangling. One of the patterns reminded me of the Flower of Life. So, with help from BlackLion, I made my very first Flower of Life mandala.

I added the colors because of lines where I messed up while tracing. Not bad for my first one, though! I’m happy with it.

It feels very meditative and centering to make these ancient drawings.

I’m so thankful for this new technique! So inspiring!
