The wonder of Life – the Lifetree

The Life-tree is, he most specific matrix of Life. In our groups we often draw these matrix and lay over it all kind of patterns. It is very beautiful and amazing what students are capable to as they want to express their feelings about this creative as we all know, t life-seed, flower of life and the life tree.Once we asked our mandala fans to draw the matrix and give it their personal expression. That were so brilliant drawings and there were so many beautiful ideas worked out. We, as we be teachers of the Educatief Mandala Instituut, were flabbergasted about the results. And: their were winners, which got a price for their work.Scan 021 K - b

Leven in Balans – now for myself

This year I lost my dear husband. In August 2015 we were in the hospital and heard from the medical staff that he had not very much chance to get better and he had to prepare himself for the end of his life. As he walked out of the hospital after the first operation he felt himself well enough to go for a photo-session. And this was the photo he made in November 2015.

At that moment we choose for living as happy and peaceful as we could. Doing what we always did, but that our love life was very important to both of us. In our work we want people to see that it is very important to become a high energy level, so now we could let them see that, whatever is happening – you can stay in that level most of the time.

This photograph became the last one he made and we used it in his condolence card.
On the top of it there was my last egg-tempera painting, that we brought with us from Amstelveen to Arnhem, eighteen years ago.  As he died in our own home, I am so glad that we shared the last weeks of his life, here. I miss him every day, but know that he is still there in his own energy. I will never forget him. Bye darling Hans.

The second year of Educatief Mandala Instituut at Klooster Huissen

Yes!  We have started again with our three groups on Mandala drawing to become a teacher in MandalaArt & Numerology. Th new students are working together with the students in the Teacher/trainer class. They already have two years of experience and now they have to show what they can. We started this Saterday with them telling their own story to the new students. They did very good  and succeeded to tell the students the importance of Commitment to the year 2016-2017. I am so very proud of them. Out motto is:

With Mandala more Human BeingIMG_3038

The photograph below is from Studio Danka & Hans Hüsken. Greetings to the New Year 2016 – a 9 year – that says: Let go old patterns and go for new engagement.

Our wishes:  That 2016 may bring us the connection to the world, in love and peace. Have a very good New Year- evening!

The new Chakra’s are…

At first, we have to realize that working with the new chakra’s will mean that you have the possibility to change. For the last 80 years, we worked with the seven known chakra’s: Basic-, Sacrum-, Solar Plexus-, Heart- , Throat-, Third eye-, and Crown chakra. One of them – the third eye – you see below.

ZwanenThis is a detail of the third eye chakra, that helps us to get insight in our self.

Nowadays as Aquarius came into force, we have to deal with new insights. There will be more connection between earth and universe for each of us. We have to get new ideas for doing so.

The new Spleen chakra and Thymus chakra will be the first two chakra’s we have to deal with. Both chakra’s will guide us into the new connections, there will be more peace and love for all of us, including ourselves.

In the coming time these chakra’s work out their dedication and we – people – will be in contact with them. But before doing so, it is good to draw all the seven chakra’s, so that your body is aware of them and have implemented the character of each of them. You want to start? See my workbook  The Western and Eastern chakra’s, published by Akasha, Eeserveen.

On My Blog Mandala I want to let you know, that a new time has arrived, in which the Educatief Mandala Instituut grows out and become a grown up. Nowadays, we can be inspired on our new place where the training take place: the Dominicanenklooster te Huissen. It is a beautifull convent where I have been a mandala teacher for seventeen years already.  Now my students can be with me in that fine and delicate environment. I am very glad that we have place there for the coming three years.

The first extra training day on mandala drawing on Black and White was a great succes. Our hands are giving and receiving, that is our work and the job we practice. Let this special Education Mandala Institute bring many students to their goal: becoming teachers on Mandala & Numerlogy! I wish them all the luch, trust, love and perseverance they need.
