The Mandala Lady,
MOTY 25 Section 02: Tranquility - A Quest for Peace

Download to Color

My overarching theme for 2025 is a quest for peace…mainly from within. After all, the outside world is just a reflection of our inside world. So if we want peace in the world, then it must claim it from within. With each section throughout the year, we’ll explore different aspects of peace using 12 different words that translate as peace in some way…and gradually reveal this year’s Mandala of the Year. Here’s this month’s word:

Tranquility – Finding stillness in nature

Common in Eastern philosophy, especially in Taoism, where tranquility is achieved by aligning with the flow of life (the Tao).

Possible action steps:

  1. Coloring: As you color this section, think about a place you’ve been to in nature where you are able to be still. Or think about a place in nature you have yet to visit where you feel you could be still if you could be there. Either way, what does that stillness feel like? Allow yourself to be in that stillness as your color.
  2. Practice 1: Spend 10 minutes in a natural setting observing the quiet beauty of your surroundings.
  3. Practice 2: Practice moon gazing or connect with the element of water (e.g., sit by a stream, listen to water sounds) to align with tranquility.
  4. Metaphysical Tool: Burn incense or use essential oils like sandalwood, known for inducing a tranquil state.

“The mind is like water. When it’s calm, everything becomes clear.” – Buddha

Peace and Blessings,

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?
