TIP 1) Take care of your body and your working space
As you probably know: when you color mandala coloring pages, you plug into the creative forces of the Universe. Being in this state of creative consciousness gives such a nice feeling, that you often forget you have a body at all!
Through your body with your hands coloring the mandalas, you manifest the creative energy. Taking care of your body means taking care of the channel through which the creative forces of the Universe flow.
Often I see people coloring mandala coloring pages and, at the same time, building up tension in their shoulders, their necks, their backs, by sitting in a bad position. I invite you to really take care of your body; it is one of the greatest gifts of the Universe. And this gift, our body, includes our very important spine.
You are as young as the condition of your spine. So when you color mandala coloring pages, always remember to sit as straight as possible. In this way, you assist your nervous system for an optimal creative flow through your spine, brains, arms, hands, and pencils! Your back & neck will be very grateful to you!
But don’t force yourself! Surrender to the creative flow. And when you notice that you are sitting in a so-called unhealthy position, gently correct yourself. Or stand up, shake your body, shoulders, arms and then continue your mandala coloring experience.
Here is this week’s mandala to color:
To download a large image for coloring right-click on the image above and select “Save Target As…” or “Save File As…” or “Save this Link as..” (depending on what browser you use). Mac users with a 1 button mouse can control/click rather than right-click.
Enjoy and come back next week for a new tip and mandala to color!
My college friend, Rebbie Straubing, who I interviewed earlier this year in The Yoga of Alignment-An Interview with Rebbie Straubing, has created a unique weight loss system using the Law of Attraction. She is offering a Weight Loss Workshop starting 1/11/11. I’m always so impressed with the unique way Rebbie’s mind works, and I’m sure from the promotional materials that I have seen that this is an opportunity to really change deep unconscious patterns of eating, and lose weight without feeling you are on yet another diet. In fact, I was so impressed by what I saw, I asked her to set up an affiliate program so I could offer her workshop to you.
To quote her materials:
Here’s what you get:
The Weight Drop Workshop ebook containing all the visualization exercises (not available elsewhere.)
Recorded commentaries on each of 5 modules.
Live Q & A Telephone Workshops. (Get the recordings if you can’t attend.)
Hot Seat calls. (You can have a personal coaching session on the workshop material while the group listens in.)
Module 1: Getting in the Groove. This is where you get the foundation for working with the visualizations.
Module 2: The Knower. This is where you gain access to your inner guidance and begin shifting your appetite and hunger levels almost instantly.
Module 3: Metabolism. Use your mind to jump start your metabolism and decrease your appetite. Here you learn to use your mind to act like diet pills without any of the side effects of the chemicals.
Module 4: Food, Eating & Satisfaction. Improve all other aspects of you life as you bring your eating into alignment. In this session your whole life gets more satisfying while at the same time, food becomes less important to you.
Module 5: Body Form. Use your mind to bring your thin self out from all that outer padding. This is a lot of fun.
Materials are posted on Tuesdays. Login to the members area to access the visualizations.
Live calls on Fridays (Time to be announced.) If you cannot make the live calls, you can send in your questions and hear the answers on the recordings.

I hope you will find this helpful. I have been receiving Rebbie’s JHE sessions (you can learn about those in the older post, The Yoga of Alignment-An Interview with Rebbie Straubing) for some time and feel they are very helpful.
According to Wikipedia:
Mawlana Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Balkhi, also known as Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi, but known to the English-speaking world simply as Rumi, was a 13th-century Persian poet, Sunni Islamic jurist, and theologian and mystic.
Rumi’s works are written in the New Persian language. Rumi’s importance is considered to transcend national and ethnic borders. His poems have been widely translated into many of the world’s languages and transposed into various formats.
