Such a beautiful Mandala. I love the thought of this as a morning meditation and will use on my blog to share with others too. I have been studying ‘movement medicine’ for years and this is very much part of our practice. My passion is to bring my creativity into all that I do and deepen my ways of being, to understand and commit to my soul purpose.
