Coloring Meditation

Earlier this week, we posted about the importance of play. Coloring is an important part of play. I just colored this mandala with the colorfy app. It was very soothing.

So I found an article by Rev. Dr. Cynthia Landrum titled Chalices, Doodling, and Meditation about her spiritual practice of coloring and drawing.  Here is a quote: ” Spiritual practice is still not an everyday thing for me, but during the last year I’ve made one hundred Zentangle chalices. I find it remarkable that restricting the format—always a chalice, and always in a box or in a mandala—doesn’t make me feel that my creativity is restricted.”

Hope you enjoy.

“Illuminations: a uu app”

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.uua.illuminations

This app provides you with the principles alway ready at your finger tips as well as links to more in depth writings about the principles. It also includes readings for services.  But my favorite part is the chalice. You can actually sit down with your phone, light a chalice, and take five minutes to meditate or pray. In our busy world, taking time out is a gift.

Remember that taking care of you and your soul is an important part of taking care of the world.
