Psychological Healing: Psychological Mandala Imagery 17
Your inner critic is always whispering in your ear, "Not enough," "Try harder," never stopping. It's like an overly sharp boundary, blocking out all affirmation. Try adding a softer layer of strength to that boundary, telling yourself: You've already worked hard enough; even today's effort deserves recognition.
Beyond self-discipline, a layer of self-compassion is also needed. Please gaze at this image three times.
○ Chinese calligraphy – Running script
Running script lies somewhere between regular script and cursive script, boasting a fluid and dynamic structure, with continuous yet measured strokes. Its natural and unrestrained strokes, alternating between fast and slow, convey the writer's emotions and are well-suited for expressing inner thoughts. Practicing running script cultivates an inner sense of rhythm and emotional balance, helping the writer find peace of mind amidst the fluidity of the brushstrokes.
- Written words:
- Harmonize your mind and stay calm
- Harmonize the Mind and Breath, Achieve Lasting Inner Calm
- Writing Tips:
- During treatment, cursive script can assist with emotional balance training. When writing the phrase "Harmonize the Heart and Qi, Serenity Leads to Far-Reaching Pursuit," the rhythm of the brushstrokes should be slow and steady, guiding the mind toward lasting peace and resilience through the brushstrokes.
