Focus Meditation 8: Mantra #DoMagick
Meditation Title: Mantra Technique: This is a meditation wherein the mantra or a word of power is vibrated (chanted) during the meditation.

Meditation Title: Coloring. Technique: This is a very simple meditation. Pull out the colored pencils, print out a mandala, and color. Focus on the color, the lines, the flow, the repeated patterns.
