My latest podcast interview is an intriguing exploration into how we navigate risk and flow in our lives, and the power of using curiosity to claim our attention back from the “urgency” of news and the endless seduction of social media.
This is the beast of perfectionism: you chase yourself in circles, certain that 3 more hours spent tweaking that thing that is not yet the very best it can be is how you will be able to relax and trust you’re okay in the world.
The creative process requires you to commit to the liminal space between the known and the not-yet-manifest, and demands you surrender control. But first ~ procrastination.
We live in a culture that supports and encourages the ideal of self-sufficiency, and most of us spend our lives striving for it. It’s a myth, and believing it comes with a steep price.
For all that beauty gives, it invites us to bring something of ourselves in return, because this kind of magic is a two-way street. I like to think of this list as an inside track to wonder...
“Feel the Pressure. Be Brave. Do Your Best”
The thing with fear, or anything that blocks us from being curious, creative and engaged, is it’s almost never about our current experience.
“Sovereignty” - The Mandala Project: #56
When you cultivate a steady, empowered sense of self, you don’t need permission, control or a safety net. You just need to show up and shine.
“Flow” - The Mandala Project: #55
Flow is what you feel when you’re holding a stable, steady centre while the currents of the universe are swirling around you with infinite possibilities of disruption.
“Fracturing” - The Mandala Project: #54
In the fragments of what we wish was unbreakable, we might begin to see the ways that its very solidness needs to fracture to support us in becoming the next thing we’re meant to be.
“Dog Magic” - The Mandala Project: #106
When the door’s open, there’s just no stopping magic from inviting itself on in.
“Gathering” - The Mandala Project: #53
We are born of something bigger and more ancient than whatever form we’re taking in this specific moment. We are fluid, unique expressions engaged in a conversation with the creative power of life rearranging itself.
“Connected” - The Mandala Project: #52
There is a deep relationship and conversation between all things. Essential information is being passed through us and between us, love weaving its way along never-ending currents of aliveness.
“Co-Conspirator” - The Mandala Project: #51
More than any that had come before, this mandala revealed the magic that is activated when we show up for the call.
"Charmed" - The Mandala Project: #50
The flirtation of the natural world is ever-present, enticing you to fall irrevocably under its spell and awaken more deeply to the wonder of being alive.
"Nesting" - The Mandala Project: #49
Nesting is an intimate act of self-care, a manifestation of our deep-seated need for safety, comfort and a place we can call our own.
"Threshold" - The Mandala Project: #48
Sacred thresholds are powerful gateways that connect the ordinary to the extraordinary.
"Continuum" - The Mandala Project: #47
Life—home in the truest sense of the word—is not a stationary place. It is infinitely rearranging itself in relationship with what’s come before, and what is emerging now.
"Enchantment" - The Mandala Project: #46
To enter into enchantment is to allow the spell of mystery to ignite your imagination and to follow the allure of its mesmerizing call.
"Shapeshifter" - The Mandala Project: #45
It’s fascinating what magic emerges when we trust that we inhabit a world where everything is connected, where change and transformation are the only constants, and where the adventure is to keep tuning in to the rhythm and movement of mystery.
"The Magician" - The Mandala Project: #44
You discover treasure when you open to perceive the glimmers of magic all around you, but when you’re willing to deeply enliven it with the wonder of your imagination then its warmth truly finds home in your being.
"Storm Watch" - The Mandala Project: #43
Storms are big, sometimes epically so. But while they seem to disrupt our rhythm and flow, that the very nature of them is vibrant aliveness helps instill trust that the force of them is a necessary, essential part of our lives.
"Grasshopper Divination”
When you hold that which is ‘dead’ with the full presence of your aliveness it lives on, collaborating and co-creating with the Cosmos in new and surprising ways.
"Oracle" - The Mandala Project: #42
Divine communication is always in the space and when we open to perceive it, we are gifted with the wisdom of shimmering things.
"Earth Elder" - The Mandala Project: #41
Grief is becoming intimate with the immovable truth that we’re not meant to hold on to or possess that which we love.
"Descent Into Grief" - The Mandala Project: #97
What if, instead of seeking to transcend pain, we choose to dive deeper, to explore the mystery that lives beneath the surface of it? And to then rise from those depths, changed by what we find there.
"Becoming" - The Mandala Project: #40
Instead of the personality self you know so well, what’s possible when you imagine you’re in a process of becoming something new all the time?
The Mandala Project: #39
When you’re not on the lookout for joy, life can feel like one hard little thing after another—but when you orient to wonder, you can always find evidence of good cheer working its charm in the world.
The Mandala Project: #38
What serious magic is possible when you summon your unique super power and direct it into the world?
The Mandala Project: #37
Offering our unique ‘something’ to the world in the way that only we can might very well be our best and most essential contribution to the tending of the Universe.
The Mandalas are now available to share as beautifully printed note cards, offering you an evocative way to engage with the mystery and guidance of the natural world.
