Download to Color Section 10 of the 2023 Mandala of the Year
Continuing with honoring the Chinese Year of the Rabbit which started on January 22, Section 10 of the 2023 Mandala of the Year is now available. This month’s characteristic associated with Rabbit energy is “sensitivity”.
On Uniguide.com about rabbit symbolism they state: “Rabbits are incredibly sensitive animals. As their little noses twitch, they are processing up 20 times the scents that we are. In addition, their big ears are designed to pick up on a variety of sounds in their environment, mainly from predators. Where we can hear between 64 hertz and 23,000 hertz, bunnies can hear in a range of 360 hertz to 42,000 hertz. Furthermore, rabbits’ big round eyes can see in practically every direction at once.”
Because we are so overly stimulated by our modern world these days, we may look for ways to desensitize ourselves. With this month’s section of the MotY, we are encouraged to be consciously sensitive to the world around us and the world within us; to be sensitive to the needs of others and, just as importantly, to be sensitive to the needs of our spirit, our soul, our well being.
“The most beautiful people
— Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
we have known are those
who have known defeat,
known suffering,
known struggle,
known loss,
and have found their way
out of the depths.
These persons
have an appreciation,
a sensitivity,
and an understanding of life
that fills them with
compassion, gentleness,
and a deep loving concern.
Beautiful people do not just happen.”
