As I woke up, I resisted the temptation to grab a cup of coffee before I did my waking mandala. I wanted to stay with my state of mind as much as possible. I knew that if I even got out of bed and started my morning routine that it would influence my mandala. This was not about routine. This was about the mind just waking and I was curious and I wanted to find out what it was about.I was surprised at how easily I fell into making my mandala and how easily I became unconcerned by the concept of time. I am usually racing with time in the morning, but today I took just a few moments to be present with this process. An image of water with strong quiet waves filled my mind. I realized that my mind had 'settled' with the sleep that I had had. And the flurry of activity at 3:30 a.m. had subsided. It was a tangible example of what sleep does to my mind, for my mind and therefore for my body as well. It was a reminder of what an important tool it is. It was also great investigating the different times and the mood that each held. The first waking mood was calm, peaceful, recharged and open.
this also feels like its about harnessing creative energy, i'm reading very strong female symbolism in this, like an egg surrounded by sperm...something is about to be born!
