Description:
This is really a kit, not just one book. There is a hard back book which contains many color examples of mandalas as well as clear, concise introduction to mandalas. The back of the book has a pocket with stencils and templates to help you design your own mandala. I can't really draw at all and that has been part of my resistance in trying to create my own mandala but the stencils and templates will certainly help. What I like about the accompanying coloring book is that each mandala has a little meditation you can use to focus before coloring, and of course you can choose to ignore that. But to me, these little guides are helpf
This is really a kit, not just one book. There is a hard back book which contains many color examples of mandalas as well as clear, concise introduction to mandalas. The back of the book has a pocket with stencils and templates to help you design your own mandala.

What I like about the accompanying coloring book is that each mandala has a little meditation you can use to focus before coloring, and of course you can choose to ignore that. But to me, these little guides are helpful. I am the type of person who gets overwhelmed and doesn't know where to start. One of the problems I had when I first started coloring mandalas..."Where do I begin? What colors will work well? etc. etc. From what I have read in other sources, the coloring in of mandalas is supposed to have a similar effect as practicing the relaxation response. I have only been coloring mandalas for about two weeks but I can already see the therapeutic value (both physical and otherwise). I have a painful left shoulder which has been causing me some weakness in the arm and hand and I am a die-hard lefty, so anything can be painful, but I think I have noticed that my hand is getting back the grip since I started coloring. If you want an instructional book, a book of great pictures and a coloring book all in one, this kit is the way to go.
