Coloring the circular designs known as mandalas is a creative activity that brings relaxation, healing, and self-understanding.
Susanne Fincher's first such coloring book, Coloring Mandalas, presented designs organized according to a scheme of twelve archetypal stages that represents a cycle of personal growth.
This sequel focuses on a single one of these stages, ``Crystallization,`` which is associated with the completion of a cycle of growth.
Imagine a fully opened rose in a sunny garden, releasing its fragrance as it gently bobs in a summer breeze.
This is the feeling of the stage of Crystallization--a time of reaping rewards and benefits from the work we have performed; of realizing and appreciating our achievements; of resting in the pleasure of having fulfilled a personal creative inspiration.
Crystallization is also a time of significant spiritual understanding, when our spiritual nature comes together in harmony with our physical nature.
The mandalas in this book aim to: - Help us understand ourselves and our place in the scheme of things - Evoke a sense of harmony, order, and fulfillment - Provide relaxation and a soothing balance for hectic lifestyles - Uncover meaning in the ongoing stream of human experience - Deepen our meditation - Enable us to experience the spiritual energy that inspired these sacred circles.
