The Light of Creativity
Christine Torlina -Wonderful Witch Hazel Mandala
The very fragrant and beautiful Witch Hazel was the inspiration
The way we bring our light into the world is through our creativity.
Sunset Mandala by Ann Brune – inspired by the night sky. Painted will iridescent paint glazes.
We express our light in all we do. Our light shines most brightly when we are centered and connected to the source of our inner light.
Mandala Circles by Ann Brune – painted with iridescent glaze paints
One of my favorite books is titled Creativity, by Matthew Fox. In it he states: “Is any place more intimate than the place where we create?… Creativity is intimate because it is us most truly, spontaneously and totally.”
Spring Bird Mandala – by Martha Schermann painted with iridescent copper paint.
Matthew Fox continues, “Creativity is not a noun or even a verb – it is a place, a space, a gathering, a union, a where – wherein the Divine powers of creativity and the human power of imagination join forces.”
Martha Schermann – Light from self mandala – painted with iridescent paints.
Fox continues, ” Creativity constitutes the ultimate in intimacy, for it is the place where the Divine and the human are most destined to interact.”
Wendell Berry poem mandala by Ann Brune
Fox also states: “We are creators at our very core. Only creating can make us happy, for in creating we tap into the deepest powers and self and universe and the Divine Self.”

LIGHT OF OUR CREATIVITY – Read the creativity prompt, listen to the guided meditation and then create.
CREATIVITY PROMPT
Gather your art materials. Let these words from the quotes above and below inspire you.
Listen to the meditation and then create a mandala or mandalas that bring the energy and power of your creative LIGHT into your sacred circle.
Open to your heart center and feel your creativity and its light as it spreads outward into the world and beyond.
Matthew Fox – “Creativity is intimate because it is us most truly, spontaneously and totally.”
“Only creating can make us happy, for in creating we tap into the deepest powers and self and universe and the Divine Self.”

Mandala Book – Bees and Flowers
The mandalas in this blog were created during my most recent mandala circle. The shining light of all those who come to my studio and create always inspires me beyond words. Most of the mandalas created here were done with iridescent paint. The photos don’t show all the light reflecting off the pages.
PLEASE SHARE YOUR MANDALA CREATIVITY
Please share the mandalas and art journaling you create by sending an email with attachments of your art. Please use a high resolution – which can be a smart phone camera – with enough surroundings in the photo. I can easily crop the image. Please send to linda (at) creativityforthesoul.com.
