These two books are a great combo for you to spend some relaxing coloring time and a read a bit about how to center yourself, get focused with a place to take some notes.
More about the books:
Art Therapy Mandalas:
We all look for ways to manage the pressures of everyday life, and to alleviate feelings of stress. Mandalas provides not only a wonderfully creative outlet, but also a way of focusing attention away from external stress, thereby encouraging a sense of relaxation and increased wellbeing.
Used for centuries across different cultures and religions, a ‘mandala’ is a spiritual symbol used in Buddhist and Hindu traditions to represent the universe, and is often used as an aid to meditation. Mandalas can therefore be spiritually healing and help to create a peaceful state of mind. Although sometimes basic in design, they are often extremely intricate. Traditionally, the mandala consists of an outer circle, sometimes shown on fire to represent the universe and the dangers it holds, and an inner ‘palace’, housing deities and the enlightened. With 100 patterns based on Tibetan and Hindu traditions, as well as some original designs, this beautiful art book will enable you to relax and rediscover the pleasures of being creative.
and
Mediate: A Guided Journal
Store your notes, journal entries, and daily meditation records, observations, and to-do lists within the pages of this beautiful and inspirational journal. The best meditations on earth– this guided journal is the perfect tool for you to keep your thoughts, meditations, inspirations, sketches, to-do lists and more. Quotes and illustrations on each spread complement the helpful tips, anecdotes, and ideas from meditations experts, Dr. Hart and Skye Alexander. This guided journal is not only a useful tool, but the perfect keepsake for inner thoughts and inspirations.
Coloring in sheets are a great way to calm the busy mind, as you focus on the coloring techniques your brain is actually able to calm itself and focus on less. Coloring is used to help relax and calm anxiety and stress. Coloring keeps out mental health in check and allows us to develop of creative brain. We highly recommend Copic markers or Faber castell coloring pencils .

The Funny in Mommy says
The perfect package for this tired momma! I am constantly coloring with my three little ones on a daily basis but would love my own coloring book rather than stealing one of their Disney themed ones. Coloring allows me to not only bond with my kiddos but also relieve some pent up stress. I’ve been searching for a way to move to the next level with meditation. I am a type A personality that needs some sort of outline to everything … as a blogger and writer of to-do list the meditation journal would be perfect to make me center on my thoughts in my crazy household.
Bonnie McCauley says
Yes, I too would love receiving this coloring book. I relax in the evenings by using gel pens to color or paint pictures.
Cindy Schultz says
I enjoy coloring after work everyday. Nice relaxing me time.
