Crystal Mandala Time

It's a lazy Sunday in the Brown household, the weather outside is a sunny 92 degrees, I am sure Fall IS on it's way?!  Our daughters are reading and coloring and our sons are enjoying the company of  their best friend visiting for the day, making this a perfect day for a crystal mandala.

I headed outside with my chosen stones, a wonderful mixture of Moss and Tree Agates, Petrified Wood, Jasper, Unakite and Serpentine, I took a relaxing breath and began to arrange my stones for my mandala.  It came to a screeching halt, I guess I was not meant to be using the Agates that I love so much.  It is amazing how in our busy lives we "grab and go" but when you are working with the stones you can always rely on your inner guide to pull you aside to rethink.  So, I packed up my beautiful stones and headed back inside to then return outside with the gentle stones of Rose Quartz, Baby Blue Calcite, Citrine and the softer Apricot Agates and boy did things begin to flow....

Crystal Mandalas are wonderful for calming the mind and for self healing, deep contemplation comes to mind and things truly begin to shift. My thoughts gravitated to my spirit guides and how I have not been tuning in like I should have been, I thought of peace and the blessings I have in my life.  I thought of oceans, of trees and of birds and the words "slow down you are missing too much" came to mind.  The energy of the stones where giving and healing for the higher good as they always are and I enjoyed a sacred time outside in mother nature refocusing.

If you haven't already I would recommend creating your own mandala, the act of sitting quietly and working with the stones is an act of meditation and relaxation and working with the life-energy of the crystals in this way is truly blissful.  This is the mandala I created this afternoon - with love and blessings....
