This too shall pass

Mental Health Mantra 49/365

This particular mantra has appeared in my life, many times, when I felt stuck.

Today suddenly these words appeared. 

I find that as a mantra appears, I will get to know it in more details, I'll start by writing it out 25 times in my mantra journal, I'll repeat it in meditation, sometimes I will write out the words and colour them in. This colouring meditation can help to soothe what is currently challenging. 

Today whilst dealing with a specific situation that was making me apprehensive about the outcome, and worrying. I found myself sat at my studio table, using colour and water, making these circles above, watching the water and colour merge, it was very relaxing.  

After letting it dry thoroughly, I returned to the desk to find a wonderful sample of circles, just calling out for flowers and petals. Here's the bit I also enjoy, taking the black uni-pen and marking out, adding in white, coloured gel pens, it was methodical and calming, again I keep using the word, hypnotic.

Trance-like.

It is here as a reminder - This too shall pass.
Every moment passes into the next moment.
Whatever I am feeling in this moment, passes.
A reminder to release.
The situations are still there, the worry and the apprehension
Yet this is a tool for moving it through me.

Keep shining star seeds.
