Seeing with an Open Heart

We end this week’s focus, “An Open Heart”, with today’s MotD which encourages us to see ourselves and others with an open heart. How would our perception of what we’re experiencing right now be changed by seeing it with an open heart ? Is it even possible ? That’s when I go to my Spirit Team and ask them to “help me see this situation differently” or “help me see myself differently” or “help me see this person differently”.

I don’t usually comment on how each puzzle piece turns out or show any favoritism, however there’s something about this one that feels powerful to me. The color green is usually associated with the heart chakra. This shade of blue is usually associated with the throat chakra. Looking at this piece, I sense the heart making its way up and into the throat…in other words, the heart is making its way towards speaking its truth…on its way to being heard.

I realize that it doesn’t exactly line up with today’s theme and yet from another angle or perspective, it’s about allowing the heart to be seen.

How about you ? Is there a particular situation or person that could benefit from being seen with an open heart ? Are you open to asking for help in seeing things/people differently ? Can you allow yourself to see yourself with an open heart ?

BTW…Here’s the before…the front and back view of today’s puzzle piece and the pretty ceramic box that holds all my numbers from which I randomly choose each day’s puzzle piece number:

Creating Mandalas 🔆 Awakening Inner Harmony

ABOUT THE 2025 Mandalas of the Day

Throughout the year, I’ll be building one large (48”x48”) Tibetan-styled Mandala one piece at a time…one puzzle piece at a time, that is. The mandala design and the reversed puzzle side were printed on artist-quality watercolor paper. The forward facing puzzle side was printed on a 48”x48” wood panel.

Each day, at random, I’ll be painting in watercolors one of the 365 watercolor puzzle pieces, that by the end of the year will become Archangel Mandala #4. Read more about the Archangel Series. The word/message for each piece will be inspired by Melody Beattie’s book “52 Weeks of Conscious Contact”.

Ultimately, the message of this mandala is about how we are all uniquely part of the one.

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?
