Drawing the circular designs called mandalas is a meditative practice, a healing exercise, and a pleasurable creative act. These 48 drawings for coloring include designs inspired by forms of nature, Native American and Tibetan sand paintings, Hindu yantras, Turkish mosaics, and art by Hildegard of Bingen and M.C. Escher. The mandalas are organized in 12 archetypal stages, with accompanying text, carrying you through a complete cycle of personal growth. A hidden spiral binding lets the book lie flat.
