Rainbow Loop and Rainbow Drops

Rainbow Loop and Rainbow Drops for the Inner Child. That's the title for my latest mandala. I see my Inner Child being surrounded by a circle of rainbow, with drops of rainbow colours all over her. She gets cleaned every single moment, 24 hours a day, every day. A perfect Ho'oponopono cleaning tool!

You can use this mandala to clean your inner child too.

I Love You! Thank You! I Love You! Thank You! I Love You! Thank You!

Possibilities

The space of you and I
 are filled with possibilities.
Now...
What do you want?
Fill it with colours
 of your choosing.
Let them twirl this way,
 that way.
Allow patterns to unfold.
No right.
No wrong.
Merely making decisions
 along the way
Now go...
Completely fill colours in.
Whoa!
Possibilities bloom into Flower Maiden.

Fire For Life!

Once there was a frozen land
Thick with ice;
 cold, dark and desolate.
No life could live there.
Everything lies in deep freeze.

But wait!
What's this?!!
Something moved beneath the ice;
 something gingerly,
 something warm and fiery.
Oh! The Great Mother is full of surprises!

This little fire grew bigger.
It grew steadier and stronger.
It began to melt the age-old ice!
Lotuses rise up from burnt ashes.
Flames turned into golden fishes when touched water.

Life begins again.

Igniting A Heart Fire

Emergence

Emergence. This was the title that kept appearing in my mind as I was creating this mandala. "What is it that is emerging?", I asked while I continued drawing and putting in the colours that made me feel good. In fact, the whole process of creating this mandala made me feel strong and vibrant.

Then, halfway through the mandala, I knew. I knew what was emerging.

Emergence - The Violet Flame.

For years, I've known about the violet flame but had never taken any special interest in it. Nor had it played any major role in my life. Now, it appears to me easily. The mandala has initiated me to the violet flame. I easily see it when I close my eyes; I see it surrounding me when I call upon it; and I see it shape-shifting into different forms and colours when I am working with clients.Watching the violet flame in action in myself and clients, is like watching alchemy in action. No wonder it is described as a flame of transmutation and alchemy.

What is the violet flame?

The violet flame is a spiritual ray associated with Saint Germain. In the early 1930s, Saint Germain appeared to Guy Ballard, and gave Ballard the first teachings of the violet flame. It is a spiritual ray that transmutes negative energy to positive energy.

"The violet flame goes after the schisms which cause psychological problems that go back to early childhood and previous incarnations and that have established such deep grooves within the consciousness that in fact they have been difficult to shake lifetime after lifetime"
- Saint Germain

To help you get started with the violet flame, here is a decree given by Saint Germain which you can recite daily. You can recite this 3 times, 9 times or any multiple of 3.

I AM a being of violet fire!
I AM the purity God desires!

(You can insert names of people or places. For example:
Alex is a being of violet fire! Alex is the purity God desires.
Kuala Lumpur is a city of violet fire! Kuala Lumpur is the purity God desires!)

I invite you to call upon the violet flame daily. Because, as we call and invoke the violet flame into our life, we are talking and engaging with the cells in our body. Kyron (as channeled by Lee Carroll) has said that the violet flame is the esoteric Layer Nine of our DNA - a multi-dimensional aspect of our DNA that heals the body. Can you see the significance of this? The violet flame is inside our DNA - a healing flame inside us that waits for us to jump start it into action.

I AM the violet flame.

- Khema Yen, 22 May 2017

The mandala, and the poem is about the need to rekindle our child-like heart; to reconnect with the Child inside all of us. It is the Child that makes us wonder again; to see the moon and the stars as though the very first time, everytime; to laugh easily; to love wholeheartedly. For it has been said:

"Great is the human who has not lost his child-like heart".
- Paulo Coelho

This Inner Child Medicine Wheel mandala is offered to you with great love and peace.

The Crow

The Crow
Sits on a lonely branch.
Caw Caw Caw!
Listen to my song

Caw Caw Caw!
It is Law.
Caw Caw Caw!
It is Law!

The Lotus, Dragonfly and Lady Moon

Lady Moon shines her Light,
Dragonfly dances in the Dark.
The Lotus grows Tall and Strong,
To sing a Fragrant Song.

Tumbling Into Existence

Here we go,
tumbling into existence.
Shaking and rolling,
crossing over the great divide of polarities.
Bruised knees,
Scarred elbows,
Our edges and corners knocked off,
Tilting this way,
and that way.

And so, we tumbled,
over and over.
Taken captive by a force...
Indescribable!
Loving it,
Hating it.
Oh! The craziness of it all!
Tumbling Into Existence.
- 8 January 2017.

The mandala above was completed on 19 Dec 2016 but I had difficulties relating to it then. And then on 8 Jan 2017, I finally understood it. It was an eureka moment, and the poem just wrote itself. Words came tumbling out just like that.

Tumbling Into Existence.

Merry Christmas!

Here is "An Offering of A Heart, from Fairy Godgrandma".

I wanted to draw a cute, sweet, young Christmas Fairy, but what turned up was this Fairy Godgrandma instead. She is the type of fairy godgrandma that if she says, eat your vegetables, you had better eat them or else she'll zap your buttocks!

Fairy Godgrandma also told me that Cinderella was fortunate that it was her Fairy Godmother that came and gave her those glass slippers and other gifts. If she were the one who came to help Cinderella, she would had turned Cinderella's skin to prunes for losing a glass slipper and for being late!

So, here she is, offering a heart to you. Please accept her kind gift, and use it wisely, lovingly and joyfully, or else! Hmm... I cannot imagine what this little Fairy Godgrandma would do.

Merry Christmas from me, and Fairy Godgrandma!

The Love Fairy

"These days...
When Heart is so wounded and shriveled
from faded dreams
from broken relationships
from scheming, corrupt politicians
from fanatic haters
from age-old racism
from wars
from all the Insanity of Humanity!

These days...
Look for The Love Fairy
She's here...
At the center of Heart's space.
Brush away the veil that hides her.
Wake her up!

The Love Fairy
Her magic
mends Heart
sings to Heart
makes Heart bloom
Feeds Heart with hope and happiness.

Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
And Heart becomes Whole again"
- 3 November 2016

The name of the mandala above is called The Love Fairy. Drawing and colouring it, and writing down the poem helped me to heal my own heart, after seeing and reading about the insanity of humanity these days.

May you find a way to heal your heart too.

Am I Able To Draw A Mandala?

Two questions that I am frequently asked are:
1. I cannot draw. Am I able to create a mandala?
2. I cannot draw. Can I attend your Mandala Journeying workshop?

The answer is a "Yes" to both questions. Because creating a mandala is not about drawing but more on focusing and centering yourself to express your inner stories, and Light within. This is how I draw my mandalas, and this is what I teach to my students.

I, myself, is not a professional artist. In fact, before I started my mandala journey, I had never considered myself an artist, nor had I thought I would be able to draw anything.

I started by knowing I could draw a circle, and I could center myself enough such that I was able to express whatever colours and forms that I was drawn to, inside the circle. That was my first step of my mandala journey.

Until today, I am still going along this journey, drawing and teaching along the way. Throughout these few years, I discovered so much about myself - my strengths and my weaknesses  and the rich stories of my inner self. Many times, my drawings provided an outlet for my Inner Child to express herself. And, I discovered I can draw a decent mandala after all.

I encourage students to draw whenever possible. There's always something to discover, and uncover. Something changes within every time a mandala is created. When the inner vibration changes, the outer vibration changes as well.

So, I repeat: Everyone can draw a mandala. And if you think you are not the artistic type, do attend my 2-day Mandala Journeying workshop. I'll help you discover that hidden, shy artist inside you.

Everyone can draw a mandala!

(The two mandalas above were drawn on 19 November 2016. It was a day of Bersih 5, and I decided to sit down, center myself and created two mandalas by just using white colour pencils on black paper)

A Most Sinister Butterfly

Once upon a time,
while flirting with colourful dreams,
a most sinister, pompous butterfly
fluttered up my nose.
"Go away, you nasty, annoying butterfly,"
said I, swatting him with my hands
I swatted him right,
I swatted him left.
But he didn't want to go away!
Instead,
he gave me a most wicked grin,
and peered straight into my eyes, and said,
"I certainly am not going away.
I'll stay right here,
in front of you;
my presence annoying you,
torturing you.
My wings,
flapping and fluttering,
creating ripples all around you,
and all over you;
making you dizzy
and spinning with angst.

Pay attention Little One!
Do not fear me.
Do not hate me.
Do not call me names,
What you see in me,
you see in yourself.
For I am Butterfly,
and I come to usher you
Great Change.
I am a gift from Great Spirit,
whose ways are unknown to humankind
Learn from my people,
and change from the inside.
For this is the Wisdom of the Butterflies."

By Golly!!!
Suddenly,
I don't find him sinister and pompous anymore.
He has turned into
a most cheeky and charming butterfly!
I stop chasing those flirty dreams.

The Woman Sleeps With Death

It is quiet.
The woman sleeps with Death.
Her eyes closed;
her lips shut;
her breath silent;
her body...still.
Legend says she is cursed;
Some say,
   she sleeps for a 100 years
Or a century
Or centuries upon centuries.

Something stirs.
Twin Dolphins jump.
"What is it?", they asked
It is a sign
   of the Going of an End,
   and a Coming of a Beginning.
Such is Death;
Such is Life.
Coming and Going
   and Coming again.
In and Out
   and In again.
Meeting each other,
Dancing together.
A Play throughout Universes.

Meanwhile...Hush!
Lady Moon shines a little
And the woman sleeps.
But not for long...
Not for long.

A Globe of Red and Blue

A Globe of Red and Blue
Fell onto the Ocean Floor.
Down, she fell.
She thought,
  she was going to drown.
She thought,
  she was going to be cracked open,
  and die.
She thought,
  she was dying,
  a long, slow, lonely, watery Death.
She thought.

But then,
  she fell and landed
on soft, nurturing
Old Green Seaweed.
Old Green Seaweed opened his arms wide.
Cradling
Supporting
Soothing,
   Little Globe of Red and Blue.
"You're safe, Little One.
My arms will carry you;
My arms will hold you."
said the Old One with his deep, rich, ancient voice.

A school of Yellow Fishes came swimming by
All of them,
friends of Old Green Seaweed.
"Why, Old Green Seaweed,
You have a new friend today.
She looks kind of sad and desolate.
Let's check her out!",
said the more curious ones.

And before you know it!
Before Globe of Red and Blue could do anything!
Before she could even protest!
These Curious Yellow Fishes
   swam right into the Globe!
Ahhhh!!!!!

Mixing
Stirring
Swirling
Energizing,
the Red and the Blue,
such that Red and Blue
   became One.
The Globe of Red and Blue
    was no more.
She has become
   the Globe of Purple.

Seeds of Destruction and Resurrection

"Four Great Seeds

Each planted at Four Great Directions

- North, South, East, West

These seeds are not nicey-nice;

they are not softy-soft;

nor are they sweety-sweet.

They are not here to make one comfortable.

They're planted...

Oh! To Destroy!

To Destroy the old and familiar

To Destroy the what's-not-working

To Destroy the no longer functioning

out-dated beliefs

Their fire of destruction

burns at all four directions

Destroying everything in their way.

Merciless, they are.

Suddenly...

Out of the Destruction

Leaves and Grass come sprouting out

Resurrection

New Life Begins"

- Khema Yen, 16 July 2016

If you feel like your life is being destroyed or turned upside down now, know that a new life awaits you. Just hang in there. Peace and Blessings to you.

Strands and String....Metamorphosis

"These are times

 of Great Turmoil

 of Great Change

Yet...

We can change the madness

by changing ourselves.

Because we are Strands

Because we are Strings

Strands and Strings

Metamorphosis"

When A Mum Heals Herself

Two weeks ago, I treated Mei (not her real name), a client with great mental, emotional disturbances, so much so, that she had to temporarily stop her work. After the session, she got up, feeling fully refreshed, and started answering phone calls by her team mates, helping them solve their work problems.

Mei turned to me and said, "I can start work now. Before this, I froze whenever clients and colleagues called me up. I just did not know how to respond to them. Now I can. I am functioning in the world now."

A few days later Mei told me that her children are now much happier too. And that when her daughter was crying due to relationship problems with her friends, Mei was able to have the clarity and wisdom of mind for her to guide her emotional daughter. She said, "I gave her some seeds to plant in the garden. This not only calmed my daughter, but made her so happy that she requested for more seeds to plant. This ability to respond to my daughter is new to be. If I was the old me, I would have dismissed my daughter, and even gave her a scolding. But now, I know how to respond to her."

Mei gave me permission to share her story because she felt that all mothers need to know this: when a mother heals herself, the world around them heals too. Especially her children.

Thank you Mei, for sharing your story.

(The two mandalas above were drawn by Mei as she worked through her life challenges. The first mandala was drawn before the session, and the second, after the session.)

Full Moon in Scorpio

Completed this mandala on full moon night, and titled, "Full Moon in Scorpio". It comes with a poem:

Full Moon in Scorpio
Her magic rays fall onto Mother Earth's ocean
Turning into Golden Ocean Womb
Falling...falling...deep onto Mr Whale

All is silent
As the Full Moon pours
As the Ocean Womb fills
As Mr Whale receives

Mr Whale goes deep
He swims silently
He is keeping his secrets
He is not telling...yet
No...not yet.

Full Moon in Scorpio
Blessed be,
Blessed be.

The Divine Feminine

"Dancing with Life,
Dancing with Grace,
Moving with the Rhythm of the Universe,
This is the Way of The Divine Feminine."

The poem above came up spontaneously after I drew this mandala. It is one of the most feminine feeling mandala that I've drawn so far. And also the only mandala which I used so much magenta on it; which is interesting because I am not a person who is drawn very much to the colour magenta. But, after this mandala, I have grown to love the colour!

The whole process of creating this mandala brought up feelings of sensuality, feminity and yes, very goddesses-like in me. Hence it's name: The Divine Feminine.
