Very Relaxing.......2007-09-28

I enjoyed this book very much. I kept it on my coffee table and would color in it to relax. Now that each page is colored I have moved it to my bookshelf.

Very nice!.......2007-06-12

Out of the half dozen coloring books we bought last year this one was our favorite. Every design felt well thought out and was quite fun to color. My only complaint is that there weren't more pictures to color. This is well worth buying if you're looking for a challenge to your coloring skills.

Great Book!!! Thanks!!.......2007-01-25

This is a very unusal book,...I think I am going to really enjoy this one!!! Thanks again!!! Arcrystal

Just do it!.......2007-01-13

The book sat around for awhile, the markers I used didn't work well with the paper. Then I started with colored pencils, now I'm addicted!

Love It!.......2006-11-28

I ordered 6 coloring books on the same day, and out of all of them, this one IS my FAVORITE. The designs are more than meaningless geometric shapes. They're really pretty!! And the pages are nice and big, and you can tear them out!! So you don't have to worry about that annoying bump getting in the way when you're trying to color.

MAIN POINT the designs are pretty :) I recommend.

Configure the Center Just How You Need It.......2004-03-04

I purchased the whole series. At times different forms call for my attention and the additional selection is definitely appreciated. The variety is quite good. They range from simpler to complex, with open spaces which leave room for my own variations. The author's designs seem to create a sacred space in which the individual's own light can shine, even if all they want to do is simply "color" a bit. I would expect this flexibility to make them accessible to people with widely varying skills: children, many disabled persons, the elderly, the imaginative and the gifted artist, as well and most of us who are somewhere in between. Yet they are undemanding so that no one need miss out on the calm center and its healing.

Everyone's Mandala Coloring Book Series.......2000-09-13

Author, artist, transpersonal psychotherapist and business person all describe what Monique Mandali is, but do not tell you who she is. I've been privileged to meet Monique and I know that she is a seeker traveling her path. Her walking stick is her love for all, especially children. Ms. Mandali offers a series of four coloring books for children and adults. There are three different delights in the original Everyone's Mandala Coloring Book series, each consisting of 22 designs. While the original three books in the series contain designs by the author, the latest (and perhaps greatest) has 25 peace mandalas from children all around the world. The Peace Mandala Coloring Book is very special because the mandalas are designed by children unencumbered by the pressure of adult living. Further, they bring a variety of spiritual as well as geographical cultures to bear.

Monique Mandali has given us something special. Not only do we find drawings to color that can aid in health and serenity...Everyone's Mandala Coloring Book Series is additionally special because they represent the best part of Monique Mandali, her love!

Wonderfully centering activity and a great gift!.......1999-07-06

Volume 2 of Everyone's Mandala Coloring Book has given me even more opportunities to share this wonderful, relaxing experience with friends of all ages - and to enjoy this peaceful, centering activity. Kudos to the author and creator!

A classic among mandala coloring books. Wonderful!.......1999-06-15

Gorgeous designs. I've purchased several copies as gifts for kids as well as older people and am not about to stop buying this wonderful coloring book. Plus I really like the perforated pages for easy removal of the pages. Thanks, Monique!

Book Description

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

Makes My Mind "Go Away".......2007-06-09

Though I've just begun using it, I bought the Mandala Coloring Book to aid me in relaxation after hectic days and before bed. It is intriguing, to say the least. While coloring the intricate designs, I'm not able to think of much else, making it easier to wind down and "turn off" my head.

Just learning.......2006-12-22

If coloring calms you and you like art this is the book for you.

Fabulous fun..........2005-07-26

I found colored pencils worked best for getting into some of the tiny lines and tight corners of these mandalas. I found coloring them to be almost medatative.

I Felt Like a Kid Again!.......2005-06-09

When I was a little girl, my parents had bought me several coloring books that included wonderful geometric shapes - I absolutely loved them! Well, one day last year I got to thinking about how much I loved these particular coloring books, and since I remembered them being quite difficult back then, I started wondering if I might like to get some more and start coloring again.

I went on a long and arduous search to find these books (once I get an idea in my mind, I'm like a pit bull until I follow through), but none of the bookstores I went to had any idea of what I was talking about. Then I happened to do a search on Amazon, and found this mandala coloring book. Although it isn't exactly the same as what I remember, I fell in love with the beautiful shapes included on each page.

Plus, I got a bonus, as I had never heard of a "mandala" before, and the author gives some info. re: this at the start of this book.

I love to sit down with my colored pencils or gel pens, and let the stress melt away as I let my creative mind take over. I honestly feel like a kid again - and I love that!

If you are an adult looking for a creative outlet, someone who's interested in mandalas, and/or one who just simply loves coloring, then this book is for you!

Even better than Fincher's first mandala book!.......2005-04-14

I am so glad Fincher brought out this second book! I had already worked through the first book and taken such pleasure in it. Yes, the first one is good, but, for my purposes, the second one is even better.

It's made with the same high-quality paper that takes the colour so well and the same lie-flat spiral binding that makes colouring easy. There's a helpful little essay at the beginning explaining the author's theories concerning the mandala and why it can be so helpful both therapeutically and spiritually.

The designs are what make this book a standout! And there are so many of them: seventy-two in all! What abundance! Each one is a detailed and beautiful work of art, even before you start laying the colour down. Snowflakes, cathedral windows, tribal amulets: you will be inspired just by looking at these mandalas.

I often colour a mandala on my day off, in the afternoon, when the sun is slanting in just so. I open the book at random, and look at the mandala for awhile before getting a sense of what colour to start with. I never know what will be the end result until I've laid down the last stroke. And I always title and date the mandalas.

A hot bath, a glass of wine, a long walk on the nature trail and colouring. I love to colour, and this book gives me a lot of scope for creativity in colour design, as well as making me feel connected to past cultures.

Just a note: I did the entire first volume with a large box (48 colour set) of Prismacolor pencils and was so pleased with the results. The more colours you have, the more you can experiment. And go to an art store and get yourself a couple of nice, hand-held pencil sharpeners: you are going to need them. Many of the designs are quite intricate and detailed.

If you like small detail work in your mandalas, this is the book for you. I prefer larger more open designs, and did not enjoy the intricate coloring work that had to be done in this book. But for those who prefer a smaller, detailed design, this will be a great book, thje designs are beautiful.

A Great Gift Idea!.......2007-01-11

I have purchased many of the Mandala Designs coloring books for my mom who is 83 and in perfect health. She continues to live in her own home, drives around town and nearby towns, and is active socially with church activities.
However, there are those days when Mom gets a little down due to seasonal depression, and these coloring books are just the way to pass her time!
What lovely work! I have to admire her patience in completing each design so intricately and beautifully. I find that I'm having a difficult time keeping up with the speed at which she completes her books!
They are a great tool for aiding the young during times of bereavement, just for fun on a rainy day, the elderly who are homebound, those who ill, and anyone who loves to color!
I love to color these designs even though I have quite a busy schedule. A very relaxing hobby!
Purchase one, color it, and feel yourself relax!

Playing and Celebrating in the Center.......2004-03-04

I purchased the whole series. I keep coming back. Its a treat combining one of the best pleasures of childlike doodling with intuitive ramblings on a deeper level. I'm still wholly engaged every time I enter a new one. I'm not sure there could be any "wasted" designs, just ones that appeal to me differently on different days. I'm close to thinking that one day I'll buy these volumes again just for the chance to experience their centers and colors differently. No matter which one I tune in to for the moment, they still have that uncanny quality of helping my work and worries fade so that my center become clearer and rest seems more possible.

The designs and the story make these unique!.......1999-07-06

My love affair with these coloring books has only intensified with the publication of Volume 3! The author's experiences and "story" which inspired this volume are infectious in their appeal. What continues to amaze me is that fact that, depending upon the day, the moment, whatever, individual designs leap out at me. A design that draws me to it one time is rarely the same design that attracts me so forcefully another time. Ahhhh - mandalas. After being exposed to them by Monique, I now see them every where! Hurray! They make the world a better place! Plus, I'm never at a loss for a good gift! I give them to people of all ages who all love them! Keep them coming, Monique!

Another wonderful mandala coloring book by Monique.......1999-06-15

Monique's third book may just be my favorite. I really like her personal story in the preface (check it out on her website). I love how she ties East and West together in these mandalas. Monique: don't stop now. When are you coming out with Volume 4?

Nice patterns to color.......2007-09-24

Great patterns to color. Lines tend to be too wide and marked, whic makes it difficult to color. If this was corrected, this book should have five stars.

mandalas too small.......2007-09-06

The Mandalas are drawn in thick black leaving little space for coloring. Not the best coloring book I've seen!

Leaves Something To Be Desired..........2007-09-06

In my opinion, this book isn't up to it's previous reviews. I find the designs rather repetitive, and not especially imaginative. They also don't seem to be representative of the spirituality of real mandalas.

Still, not too bad, considering the price.

Wonderful .......2007-05-05

I just ordered several of the Dover Coloring Books and this was one of my favorites. I don't know anything about Mandala's, but the images in this book are intricate and beautiful and I can't wait to start working with them. I even ordered a back up copy!

Nice Mandalas.......2007-04-30

Why I gave it 3 stars-
I feel that there is a flowery sense enamating from it. More of the anima energy and I am not sure of mystical as the correct wording but I am not an expert. Anyhow, I am looking forward to coloring in the mandalas in this book.

When this book arrived, I was a bit taken back at the mandalas I found inside -- nearly half of them are cluttered with cartoonish outlines of hearts, bells, fish, snails, dolphins, butterflies, apples, and squirrels. This might be a great book for children, but it was not what I was expecting.

Coloring as Meditation..........2004-09-28

Scherek's "Celestial Beings" are simply heavenly! The intricate designs are surprisingly soothing and serve as an excellent alternative aid for meditation. What's even more fascinating are the slight differences between each celestial being, somewhat like a brain teaser. Each image, similar but different, thereby allows one to embark on a whole new magical and peaceful coloring journey.

I know I'll enjoy your coloring book. I lost my husband in November 2001, he was only 56. Your coloring book helps pass the time away in the evenings. Thank you so much.

providing a path to enlightenment.......2002-04-23

I was delighted upon discovering the purpose of receiving "Celestial Beings of Heaven & Nature" as a gift. It was immediately appreciated for the fine detail and in-depth meaning associated with each drawing. Little did I realize how powerful it would be to actually color it. Having never really applying my artistic abilities I was amazed at how comfortable it made me feel to fully let go & express myself freely. A truly needed spiritual experience. I look forward to Barbara's future work and commend her for her talent.
Thank you!

Opening the Creative Connection.......2002-04-06

The unique and intricate artwork in this book brings coloring a mandala to another level-a celestial level. Using it provides a meditative way to get in contact with your spirit and your spiritual helpers while opening the universal creative connection. It is an excellent choice for a gift to those who are experiencing illness or to anyone looking for a tool to enhance their spiritual journey. The drawings are simply exquisite; a joy.

Exquisite Work.......2002-03-22

Her work is exquisite. I became acquainted with her meditation coloring book, "Celestial Beings of Heaven and Nature" about 2 years ago. Using the celestial beings, I have been able to reflect and pursue my spiritual path and at the same time rekindle creative needs that have been dormant for a long time. I have truly enjoyed my time with the celestial beings. More, more, more.

Seasonal Mandalas Coloring Book.......2007-06-27

Purchased for step daughter (28) to color or share coloring with her daughter. The mandalas were less sophisticated than others I've done, but this was just right for her. She has used coloring in children's coloring books for years as a relaxation method.

good choice.......2006-12-01

Lot's of fun for adults. Just the right amount of complexity in the designs to allow for relaxation. The seasonal touches add a celebratory feeling.
