Mandalas in Movement by Sejal Sood
Repetition is all around us, and when we see it aesthetically, visually, we pause... we reflect. We experience a moment of union with the visual. But when we repeat every day with our body or with our actions, we get bored, frustrated ... ready for something new different. But what if that repetition and structure is exactly what we need to find new and different. Why does every ancient church, temple, mosque, and monastery have repeating patterns? Repetition and pattern give us the structure to achieve freedom. If we were a feather on its own, we would float around and fly around according to our environment. If we were a feather on a bird, we would fly in the direction we are called to. Be a bird, not a feather. Learn and explore the power of from to bring us freedom.
