25-05 Stillness…in color

The Mandala Lady,
May 2025 Mandala of the Year Section 5: Stillness — in color

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 we 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:

Stillness – The Power of Silence and Inner Calm

Often linked with meditation practices, stillness represents the quieting of the mind. It is celebrated in contemplative practices like centering prayer, connecting the soul to divine peace. Reciting a mantra like “I align myself with stillness” on a regular basis, may help with quieting the mind.

Possible action steps:

  1. Coloring: As you color this section, reflect on areas in your life where inner calm would be of benefit to you and those around you.
  2. Practice: Try candle gazing (trataka) as a form of meditation. Focus on the flame to quiet the mind and embrace stillness.
  3. Practice: Try a silent meditation or “stillness break” for five minutes during a busy day.
  4. Metaphysical Tool: incorporate obsidian or onyx for grounding and drawing us inward.

“Stillness is where creativity and solutions are found.”
– Elkhart Tolle

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?
