Mandala Mindset - Learning To Let Go

Mandalas represent the ephemeral nature of all things. They begin and end, just as all-natural cycles have a beginning and an ending; teaching how us it is to embrace the art of nonattachment. This episode of the podcast explores this idea of the Mandala Mindset, as a means to support us in letting go. Pema Chödrön observes that “each person’s life is like a mandala”, and goes on to say: “Everything that shows up in your mandala is a vehicle for your awakening. From this point of view, awakening is right at your fingertips continually.”

Great perspective! And teaching on how to let life flow.

Interesting. The clip to music in the last minute or so was a little jarring but great talk otherwise

Henny… wow to this amazing meditation, the concept of everything being EPHEMERAL … his not morbid at all, especially for those of us who have lost loved ones and time has passed enough to help us heal just a little bit. I found your talk, extremely refreshing, communicating from the depth of your court in such a meaningful way. I will listen to this piece many times over. The idea of Mandela have come across my mind because I recently finished listening to my favourite podcast, THIS JUNGIAN LIFE … were these amazing young experts were discussing the concept of Mandelas… I think it is an art form that exists in every culture, no matter where you’re from, if you look at the past history of your culture at some point people were drawing or designing artifacts, paintings, and drawings that created this sort of affect for the mind, to bring peace into the mind. Thanks again from a Yin Yoga expert back to you, I salute you humbly. Negin 🧘🏽‍♀️🙏

This was so helpful! Loved this explanation of mandala thinking and how I can really connect to it during this time of career transition.

I found this to be a really interesting and insightful talk.
