Color of the day: Crimson Incense of the day: Carnation Incense of the day: Carnation This is an auspicious day for considering your financial picture, starting a budget, or thinking about an investment plan. Why not make a mandala of money today? On a large sheet of paper, draw a large circle that goes nearly out to the edge of the paper. In the middle of the page, draw yourself or something symbolic of yourself-a stick figure or other personal symbol will do. Around it, draw the things that have brought you money in the past: your job, a business, prize winnings, inheritances, and so on. Draw a border of dollar signs or other symbols of money around these symbols. Around that, draw what you have bought with that money, and then around that draw pictures of what you would like to buy in the future. Around the outer edge of these symbols, draw more dollar signs. If you don't feel comfortable trying to draw, you can cut out pictures from magazines and catalogs and paste them on the paper. Or you can paste on play money instead of drawing dollar signs. Use this mandala to gain a clearer understanding of the place of money in your life. |
