Fall Mandala: Mandala created from leaf photo processed with kaleidoscope tool in Paint Shop Pro

I have never been very good with meditations. It either puts me to sleep or becomes an exercise in reviewing a list of all of my problems in my head that only makes me more tense and less focused. This changed recently when I ran across an archived radio show from Sandra Taylor on HayHouse Radio.

Sandra has a gift of making you very comfortable with yourself with her and the entire process. To access the archives on Hayhouse, you will have to become a member of the site, but it is truly worth it.

Fall Mandala

Fall Mandala: Infinite Orange

Fall Mandala: Infinite Orange

This mandala was made by using a kaleidoscope effect on a fall leaf that I picked up on my walk yesterday. This was done with Paint Shop Pro. At the bottom of this post, you can see the original leaf that the image was made from.

I am grateful for the beauty of the colors of fall and the ever changing quality of nature. There are surprises out there every day for me if I am willing to pay attention and to be grateful. I am grateful for the scanner which allowed me to photograph the leaf and capture these incredible colors and textures. I am grateful for the art program which allows me to transform these images into another reality. I am grateful for the technology that makes it all possible. I am grateful for the inventors that came up with these incredible tools.

I love this fall mandala and the infinity of space that it symbolizes for me.

Deepak Chopra . Perception . Depression

Study in Gray

Study in Gray

Sometimes when I read Deepak Chopra, I am reminded of the old saying: vanity, vanity, all is vanity. If everything around us is simply perception, why then do we even bother doing anything, why did he bother to write the book. If there is nothing that exists outside of us, then why go on? Is everything in the world going on for just my benefit? Why then is there so much going on that I cannot pay attention to all of it?

I am grateful for the wisdom I am finding in Chopra, but sometimes the questions that his writings bring up get awfully BIG in my head. Sometimes these questions are not good for my recovery from depression. I am grateful that I have the ability to stay calm and objective to sort through these things.
