Connection

“the state of being related to someone or something else”

Whenever I see the word connection, I immediately make the “connection” with Brené Brown and her definition of “that word”connection”…

”I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.” — Brené Brown

On some level we’re all wanting to feel connected…that we’re not alone. Sadly, due to unprocessed trauma, fears, and/or limiting beliefs, our ability to feel connected becomes thwarted which can sometimes lead to avoiding making any connections at all.

We’re being encouraged to heal those parts of us that want to feel connected but are so wounded that we hold ourselves back. We can start by finding even the thinnest of threads that can connect us to another…it could be something as simple as having a common bond with a hobby we enjoy. Find the thread…make the connection…see where it leads.

How about you? Is connection a core value for you?

BTW…here’s what it looked like to begin with …

About the 2024 Mandalas of the Day

Each day I will create and post a mandala inspired by one of 366 “value” words chosen randomly. The objective being to discover for myself which ones would best represent my core values…and by doing so, I hope it inspires you to determine your own.

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light 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?
