drawing & photo by Lilian Leahy
Drawing a mandala is a calming activity in itself. And so is the Lotus position, practiced for meditation and in yoga. All three nourishing activities to cleanse your inner body. As an appreciated friend once told me: “We all consider it normal to shower and bath daily to stay clean, but what do we do to cleanse and purify our inner body?” This is what yoga offers you.
The photo was taken on a quiet early morning on the Niger river in Mali in 2010.
