Mandala and Intention

Maṇḍala (मण्डल) is a Sanskrit word that means "circle". In the Hindu and Buddhist religious traditions their sacred art often takes a mandala form.   I did a Mandala workshop a few months ago with a teacher at Yoga Inlet in West Reading, her name is Jody Ermold,  and it was a really wonderful experience.  The purpose is to set an intention, and then watch what flows onto the canvas.  I had not intended to use any of the colors in the above Mandala, the colors chose me more than I chose them.  The intention that I set was I AM ENOUGH.  I DO ENOUGH.  I specifically was thinking about all of the people in my life that I know, and thinking about what I give or wish I could give, but at this time in my life know that I am doing all that I can.  IT IS ENOUGH.  You are enough, you do enough, you give enough.  When I look at my beautiful first Mandala, I remember this intention and  know that I am doing the best that I can.
