Colouring with Cats #57 ~ Getting Your OM on with Mandalas on Mondays ~ The Big Stretch


Supurr Monday greetings beautiful furriends

Happy Monday guys and how are mew feeling today?  Today we're going to talk a little about stretching and moving your body, as we know only too well here at the BionicBasil HQ, that sitting fur hours in front of the computer is no good at all.  And sometimes we don't even realize we're doing it as we become so engrossed in what we're doing, so our poor little furry bodies tend to get a bit stiff and it can cause all sorts of issues if mew constantly sit and hardly move.  Remember the saying, if mew don't use it, mew lose it? It's true! 

So we suggest that mew set a timer to remind mew to move effury hour, go fur a little walk and do some gentle stretches like me below.



Sorry my photo is a bit blurry, I'm saying it's an action shot! MOL

Stay limber guys and do those stretches, then go take that nap.



Anyhoo, we do hope mew've all have a totally pawesome weekend and that mew're ready fur the week ahead, so let's jump right in and start as always with our little breathing exercise, which we're sure mew all have down paw by now...  but if mew've furgotten, stop what mew're doing fur a moment and take deep fulfilling breaths; counting to five on the inhale and five on the exhale:

Breathe in
Breathe out

Breathe in
Breathe out

Breathe in
Breathe out

Smooch is here again to assist mew, so just press play, close your eyes and follow his instructions... 


Don't mew feel better already?  I know we do!


All the mandala's featured are created & designed by us, unless otherwise stated.


So without further ado here's this weeks mandala.

Just right click the image to save and print it...

And here's our finished version... a mostly pinky vibe happening to send much love and healing out to the wurld today.


Coloured with mat gel pens.

  1. My human has a timer on her Fitbit that goes off if she hasn't walked at least 250 steps in the past hour... maybe she should get Binga up to move when she does!

  7. Basil, I am feeling like you today and can hardly keep my eyes open. That's even before we lose our hour! I think I had better do some stretches and Smoochie's breathing exercises.
