Saw this delightful mandala last week on Instagram from self_pollinate. Janelle Amos believes in sharing her “joyful little play dates with Nature.” She makes beautiful mandalas from vegetation, food, and/or items found in nature.
Just by looking at this particular creation, I can tell that it must have put her in a wonderful active meditation state while making it. It feels joyful and calming. I love it’s gentle simplicity. Each seed looks like a little stepping stone that if we were the appropriate size, we would want to hop from one seed to the next along this looping path.
She states that she…
made this one while singing and dancing on the porch in the sunshine with the girls.
Here’s a case where playing with your food before you eat it is good thing.
Happy Coloring!

My Mission: awakening our Creative Spirit 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?
