About two-thirds of the way down of my Weekly Update there is a very beautiful, artistic, and captivating design. This design is known as a mandala…

From Wikipedia: A mandala (Sanskrit: मण्डल, romanized: maṇḍala, lit. ’circle’, [ˈmɐɳɖɐlɐ]) is a geometric configuration of symbols. In various spiritual traditions, mandalas may be employed for focusing attention of practitioners and adepts, as a spiritual guidance tool, for establishing a sacred space and as an aid to meditation and trance induction. In the Eastern religions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Shintoism it is used as a map representing deities, or especially in the case of Shintoism, paradises, kami or actual shrines.[1][2] A mandala generally represents the spiritual journey, starting from outside to the inner core, through layers.

Here I would like to share with you the sincere seeker and artist behind this mandala. Her name is Raquel, and this is how the mandala appears on Raquel’s Instagram page:

This is my second water color mandala. This one took me a while to finish. Interestingly, I felt resistance to adding in the peacock feathers but I was being prompted to add them so I just opened up and trusted they would turn out. I have never added feathers to a mandala before.

When I stare at this mandala, I feel an Egyptian sort of theme. And in this feeling, it reminds me of a book I read called Initiation by Elisabeth Haich. It was written in 1953. She was a Hungarian spiritual teacher who had incredible lucid memories of a past life as an Egyptian Priestess. It is quite astounding and for anyone interested in tarot, she also authors a tarot book and other yoga books. Her story of her past life in Egypt is mind boggling and there is a section in the book where she discusses sacred geometry. I recommend this book to anyone who is on the awakening path. I hope you enjoy this mandala! #mandalas #mandala #watercolormandala #egyptainpriestess #initiation #elisabethhaich #peacock #awakening #spiritualawakening #sacredgeometry
