Mandala For Meditation

Our Ancestors found that they could not meditate or pray without some sort of tool.  Over time, the mandala was created to help individuals to focus their mind so they could meditate.  

I read that the definition of prayer is “when you talk to God”.  The discussion went on to say that meditation is “when God talks to you”.  I think these are two very good reasons to pray and to meditate.  You may not get the hang of it immediately.  It does take practice.

Try using the mandala.  If this one does not work for you, then try a different one.  The Buddhists have used mandalas to focus for a very long time.

A Focus Point for A Meditation

This meditation focus comes from the book that I wrote, “Earth Wisdom Meditations: Contemplations For People Who Love The Earth”.  

I was sitting on the bench by the Bow River looking into the water.  A tree beside the river dropped a leaf into the water to my left.  I watched it float down past me.  I was just watching this leaf, and thinking, and I heard the words.  I wrote them down, and, eventually, they became a meditation for me that I use when I get stuck in my daily life.  Saying the words slowly and quietly, over and over, help me focus.

If you try this meditation, please let me know if it works for you.

Blessings,

Judy
