DESCRIPTION:
Color Yoursefl to Mindfulness will give you inner calm and peace as you connect to the shapes and symbols that create these powerful images. The process of coloring becomes a meditiative process by which you are intently aware of colors, designs and motifs. You are living in the moment and the concentration and repetitive nature of the simple art of coloring takes over as you become oblivious to the stresses and strains of everyday living. The act of being mindful is being aware of the present moment. Mandalas, symbols of the cosmos, have for hundreds of years inspired those who gaze upon them. Here we present 100 original designs of mandalas for Awareness, Forgiveness, Wisdom, Abundance, Creativity and Karma.

Don't overlook this one. My first adult coloring book. Excellent format. The paper is thick (I use Prismacolor pencils) bright white and smooth.There is a variety of motifs (simple and intricate) and each has a "theme'' written below the motif. The hardcover rests flat and provides great support for coloring in any position. I love that I keep returning to "completed" pictures and add or change colors to further elaborate on the originals. How wonderfully calming to watch as the colo. cbhiii said but this is one of the best coloring books I've used. I don't often write reviews, but this is one of the best coloring books I've used. The key attribute for such a high rating is that it uses fine outlines for its shapes and designs, which allows for more coloring options like tracing over the outlines for added design choices. The designs themselves are also detailed enough to keep the user interested and entertained for weeks.. Relaxing adult coloring book I got this for my lady friend while she spent a ton of time in the hospital with her daughter suffering from hydrocephalus. This with a set of coloring pencils and sharpener and she was able to relax a bit with this cathartic time suck.
