Embrace the idea of relaxing your “doing” muscles.Instead exercise your “being” muscles.

Co-Creative Mandalas have a vibration that anchors, activates specific qualities, and represents something about ourselves, the natural world, and the energy in the universe at a particular time. This year the mandalas support Aligning with Wisdom,
within mind, body, and spirit,
with the natural rhythms in nature,
and with the Great Mandala.
The mandala archetype for this month is Synchronicity.
It's been fun, illuminating, and surprising to explore Synchronicity and all the ways it supports
aligning with wisdom:
Your wisdom--mind, body, and spirit--by listening to your inner guidance and paying attention to the signs:
How is your wisdom calling you
to embrace Synchronicity?
The Co-Creative Mandala, Synchronicity, from a photograph of Turk's cap--Martagon--lily (symbolizes resilience) is associated with the heart, throat, and crown chakras. It invites us to trust the signs. Trust perfect timing. It reminds us that the future you’re dreaming of is influencing the present moment and shaping what's to come. There is purpose in the events in our lives. The Universe is listening to us and gently communicating with us. There is more to our lives than what we experience on a physical level.
Happy July!
Today, I'm pausing with gratitude to reflect on the work we are called to do together through Co-Creative Mandalas—work (and play) of the heart, of spirit, and of community.
In a world that can appear to be increasingly fragmented, we invite you to slow down and explore the deeper threads that unite us with ourselves, one another, nature, and the sacred.
These times are powerfully emotional for those of us who are both practitioners (meaning meditator-mystic-yogi-people) AND folks trying to compassionately keep our hearts open to the upside down happenings of this world. When life gets noisy, it’s easy to second-guess ourselves—even when our gut knows the truth.
As we move through this vibrant chapter of the year, our focus turns to the expansion and magic of Synchronicity—to clearing old patterns, welcoming new wisdom, trusting the fullness of who already are, and welcoming who we are becoming.
The sun is at its brightest, the days are long, and the world around us is rapidly growing.
We're being invited to let our light shine just as brightly.
It’s time to tune into and align with inner Wisdom, cosmic Wisdom, and nature's Wisdom. It's the perfect time to live in the flow.
I believe we live in a meaningful universe. Nothing happens without a purpose. I don't mean that our experiences have a purpose (gasp!). I mean that we can find purpose in those experiences. Recognizing something greater than our physical experiences depends on our willingness to stay open to a wide range of possibilities and to embrace concepts like Synchronicity. Jung described synchronicity as "meaningful coincidences that appear to be causally unrelated but are linked by a shared meaning or pattern."
Have you ever looked at the clock and noticed 11:11, 22:22, or 3:33? Perhaps more than once a day or week? These are not mere coincidences. They are sacred signs. Jung described these as moments when the outer world mirrors the inner world, guiding us when we are at a turning point.
These signs as powerful signals from the universe, alerting us that we are about to cross a threshold into a new phase of life.
Pay attention to the little signs and synchronicities around you—they're not coincidences. They’re confirmations that you’re surrounded by light.
This is your moment.
You're invited to leave behind the old patterns of time and step into a new flow—a flow that ancient ones walked for centuries.
When was the last time you experienced a magical moment, when everything flowed easily and effortlessly, aligning perfectly? When it felt magical? That’s Synchronicity—a reminder from Spirit that we're not separate from that invisible force that pulls us toward our highest potential, toward our most expansive self, and toward remembering our Wholeness.
When we are open to Synchronicity, we step into a flow where time can stand still, and the Universe whispers, "You're not alone". It's a magical alignment with the Universe.
This morning I was up early and played in the garden. As I weeded, tended to and watered the flowers and veggies, watched the early birds looking for worms, and felt the warmth of the sun on my body, I noticed feeling exhilarated, happy, free and joyful. A hummingbird (symbolizes messages from Spirit) hovered around the garden and lingered on the flowers. I felt aligned with Wisdom--within, in nature, and with the Universe. That moment offered Synchronicity and created a deeply meaningful experience that wasn't random, but rather connected me to my inner wisdom and to nature's rhythms.
I don’t always feel like this, of course. I'm a human being with the full spectrum of feelings. But this is how I felt right then and I relished it.
We already know more than we think—we just need the space and support to trust it. We need to be willing to allow the bigger picture to be revealed, accept it, and have confidence in the fact that there is more to our experiences than immediately meets the eye.
When I think back to where I started this lifetime, I realize the only choice I could make was to find ways to change and transform my life. So that I could be here in Colorado, on a bright sunny morning gardening in the pool of sunlight, watching a hummingbird, and later, welcome the summer light coming in through the window, feeling relaxed and happy, filled with gratitude.
There’s something about summer light that reminds me of the long summer days of childhood filled with adventures, play, and joy. It reminds me of conversations I had with three nature beings (perhaps angels?) who I called my "playmates".
As an adult, I feel the way the summer light softens me, melts tension, coaxes me out of hiding, opens me to receive, invites me to remember how the Universe has always had, and continues to have, my back.
I’ve been feeling how this season invited me into a different pace.
Slower. Warmer. More spacious.
That's when I notice Synchronicity.
This is nature's rhythm that feels especially aligned for deepening into inner Wisdom, into connection with nature, and the Divine.
In Co-Creative Mandalas, we talk about tuning into the vibration of each mandala as a way to open to higher frequencies. To let their colors, movement, and energy become portals for healing, clarity, and awakening.
And right now, this summer light is perfect for that Synchronicity.
Letting the warmth of the sun reach the places that have gone quiet or guarded.
Letting this month's mandala be a tuning fork for Synchronicity.
Letting yourself feel the love and beauty that’s always been there.
And if you're where it's winter, this is the time to remember that the light is still there.
Sometimes it arrives more quietly, but it is always available to meet you in the co-creative space.
This is a beautiful time to tend to your own inner light. Now more than ever, our world longs for soul-centered transformation, for voices of integrity, and for sacred spaces of belonging.
To say yes to being a co-creative channel, not by force, but by allowing.
By being present to Synchronicity and fully showing up with your mind, body, and spirit.
In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing Co-Creative Mandalas for summer flow and softening alignment with Wisdom and nourishing the body, mind, and the spirit.
I'm embracing the potential and possibilities and looking forward to seeing what magic and surprises they bring!
But for today, just this…
Let the light in.
Let your heart hold it.
Let yourself be transformed by it.
Wishing you wonder-filled weeks ahead and magical Synchronicity moments.
Blessings of love and light,
