Full Moon of November 21, 2010
For this mandala, I left it quite empty on purpose. Even if you don't celebrate the "traditional" American Thanksgiving, now is the time when most civilizations in the Northern hemisphere are collecting the last harvest of the year, and beginning to celebrate using the food from all the harvests. It's always been a good time to begin contemplating the long winter ahead, watching each night getting longer and longer as the days grow shorter and shorter, until the longest night of the Winter Solstice, December 21st. This is a very quiet and humble mandala for a very quiet time.
How is your life quieting down with the Earth? How is your life becoming unquiet? Around the holidays, perhaps your life seems quite stressful, too full and energetically draining. You could simply allow peaceful colors and patterns to gently fill the empty spaces in this mandala, then hang it up in your kitchen or wherever you'd like to have a reminder to breathe and clear your head for a few moments.
This is also an excellent mandala to print out for children to color during holiday feasts. You might be surprised at the beauty and wonder that comes about when children are given simple designs to color!
