It's been a while since I posted anything, and I'm finally getting to grips with my Siddham Bonji brush. Actually like how this turned out! Jñāṁ seed syllable of knowledge.

Īśāvāsyopaniṣad, verse 17

Vāyur anilam amṛtam athedaṃ bhasmāntaṃ śarīram |
oṃ krato smara kṛtaṃ smara krato smara kṛtaṃ smara

hariḥ oṁ |
oṁ ityetad akṣaram idaṁ sarvaṁ
tasyopavyā khyānaṁ bhūtaṁ bhavadḥ bhaviṣyaditi sarvam oṁkāra eva |
yaccānyatḥ trikālātītaṁ tadapyoṁkāra eva

The syllable OM is everything. The explanation follows (with this Upanishad). All that is past, present and future is OM. And, whatever is beyond the three periods of time, that too is only OM.

I do love me a fancy book! Latest note undertaking is an actually presentable note book on , and the :) Will keep me entertained.

Decided on the to open the book.

असतो मा सद्गमय ।
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय ।
मृत्योर्माऽमृतं गमय ॥

asato mā sadgamaya,
tamaso mā jyotirgamaya,
mṛtyormā'mṛtaṃ gamaya.

From Falsehood, lead me to truth.
From Darkness lead me to Light
From Death lead me to Immortality.

Oṁ aḥ hūṁ hohaṁ kṣmala varaya hūṁ phaṭ ~

Kalacakra mantra which ive been using as a base to explore scripts. Siddham, Balinese, Tham Lanna and Tibetan. But all of the work with the Aksara abiguda or sanskrit. I love being a total language nerd 😎

I was very kindly offered some awesome info on the Chinese 28 mansions, something I've struggled to find much on myself.

So this weekend has been all about notes and practicing my drawing skills! Never get bored of learning about Chinese and can't wait to start building these into some of my pieces ✨

Exciting news about the clinics also coming soon!
