Creating ‘Peace’ on the outside – Peace Flags

2/1/2019

 
Creative Yogis Peace Flags

The start of the year is a wonderful time to reflect on last year and set clear intentions for the coming year. One intention I always finish my classes with is to wish all beings on our planet - Peace. 

I teach my students that peace begins on the inside, and that when we find that feeling we can share it with everyone around us. 

When you visit temples in different cultures you can often see colourful flags attached to different parts of the structure that are infused with prayers that are being gently blown out into the world by the wind – with the intention of creating a ripple of peace. 

I love the decorative nature of these flags and thought it would be lovely to let children create their own unique version of these too with simple materials. 

In the process of creation we are accessing that part of ourselves that inspires a sense of peace and calm at the same time – how perfect!


What you need and how to do it:
​
  • A small A5 pad of different colour papers

  • Scissors 

  • Hole punch

  • String

  • Textas 

  1. Prep all the paper into the triangles to begin with, and also depending on the age – add the holes that the string will be threaded through on completion. 

  2. Provide each child with 7 triangle coloured flags – make 2 triangles out of out of one A5 paper. 

  3. Showing an example can be helpful and how to spell the word Peace too.  They may want to decorate one side with letters and the other pattern – it’s a personal choice. 

  4. On completion they can begin to assemble the flags – you may need to help a little here to begin with – threading the string through from the front of the flag – along the back and out through the front again, similar to running stitch.
    ​
May all beings know Peace. Namaste.
