Celebrating the Olympics

Let’s celebrate the Olympics! The five Olympic rings are the perfect inspiration for creating a mandala - art in a circle.

Being symbolic in nature, the mandala lends itself to metaphor readily:

Where are you reaching or do you need to reach for the gold?

Where is the competition in your life? How are you dealing with it?

What have you worked towards that is coming into fruition now?

Do you feel judged?

Are you jumping through hoops to impress someone?

Are you merely going through the motions or are you focused on a goal?

What is your favorite summer sport?

What would it feel like to be the best you can be in some area of your life? I think you get the idea…

The mandala is the perfect vessel to pour your Olympic
dreams into.
