Circles – The Sacred Loop

Circles are symbols of unity and wholeness, echoed in moons, nests, and ripples—reminding us that life is continuous, inclusive, and sacred in its totality.

Circles reflect unity, wholeness, and sacred return—seen in full moons, rings, and ancient mandalas.

  • Journaling within a circle reminds us that closure doesn’t mean ending, but integration.
  • Meditation focuses the mind on the present moment—completeness in stillness.
  • Somatic gestures like circular arm flows or drawing a circle with your body restore continuity and grace.

Use the following circle journaling, meditation, and somatic movement practices to foster balance, connection, and completion.
