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 ISBN
