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:
Solace – Comfort or peace found during difficult times
A more emotional term, solace provides comfort and relief in hardship, bringing moments of peace. In poetry, solace often connects to nature, like finding peace in a sunset or the rustling of leaves.
Possible action steps:
- Coloring: As you color this section, reflect on areas in your everyday life where you can feel comforted even when coping with difficulty.
- Practice: Create a “solace list” of comforting activities (e.g., tea, music, a warm bath) and do one.
- Practice: Light a candle to honor your feelings, using it as a symbolic act to release grief or welcome comfort.
- Metaphysical Tool: Work with angelic guidance by calling upon Archangel Azrael, often associated with healing grief.
“Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.”
– Thomas Moore
