Product Description
Coloring the circular designs known as mandalas is a relaxing, meditative activity enjoyed by adults and children alike. The mandalas in this book are specially designed to provide a creative encounter with the Divine as a feminine presence. The archetypal imagery of the circle—appearing in the form of organic shapes of nature, the curves of the female body, the womb and childbirth rituals, the circular turning of cosmic rhythms, or geometric designs conveying the primal energy of the Goddess—celebrates the full range of the sacred feminine, from gentle and motherly to fierce and challenging.
An introductory essay traces the stream of the sacred feminine from prehistoric sources through modern spiritual traditions and the work of contemporary scholars of psychology and religion. Mandalas for coloring include designs based on ancient European artifacts, traditional Hindu yantras, and contemporary art. Full-color illustrations provide inspiration, and instructions for drawing your own geometric mandalas add to the creative possibilities. Coloring Mandalas 3 will appeal particularly to individuals and groups who wish to explore spirituality as a pathway to deeper meaning and personal growth.

Great assortment of sacred feminine mandalas. I use them in creative writing workshops and they are always a hit. Thanks for putting together such a great collection!

These books are magical! I love the creativity and the "place" I go into when I am coloring a mandala. So relaxing......like a meditation. I think they make a perfect gift for all ages.I am so grateful to my girlfriend who gave me one after I had surgery. My husband joins me in the evening with his own book and it is far more enjoyable than watching T.V.

I am reliving by childhood by coloring these intricate designs. Supposedly, the designs were to help me find my inner self. Well, it is still lost but when I am bored (which isn't often) I will start one of these designs. They are great when I am watching a football game and it is between plays--I color to ease by hyperactive old brain.

I have utilized the first two books in this Mandala series for meditative reflection as I colored with pencils. The third one has images that are not as condusive to meditation and are somewhat disconcerting. I am attracted to repetitive designs reminiscent of Rose stained glass windows. Some of these images were just odd. Some were ugly. There are many other books out there with better designs for contemplation.

Be daring to lose yourself in a mandala. One never knows what to expect. Open your heart, mind and soul. You will not be disappointed. Learn from these forms and then learn to create your own!
