Acceptance: A Mandala Meditation

Acceptance: A Mandala Meditation. from Kelly Dietrich on Vimeo.

Years ago I used to make mandala meditations for the original iPod and upload them to my podcast on iTunes. This is the first mandala animation I've made since creating those podcasts so many years ago.

Music: "Witnessing Infinity" from the Infinite Octaves album by Andrew Forrest. Used with his kind permission. His music and artwork may be viewed at his web site.

Mandala Monday: Inner Strength

Surrender

Mandala Monday: Wholeness

We need to see and agree that what we seek already lives within us and we within it. Now we know our one great task: watch for whatever promises us freedom and then quietly, consciously refuse to see ourselves through the eyes of what we know is incomplete. Then we live wholeness itself instead of spending our lives looking for it.

My white pen ran out of ink on this one!

Mandala Monday: Vibrantly Alive Mandala

"You must learn to be still in the midst of activity and to be vibrantly alive in repose." — Indira Gandhi

Mandala Monday: Fearless Mandala

"Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones."

— Thich Nhat Hanh
