Mandalive(R)

Part wellness book, part peaceful colouring book, part self-care journal, this giant book does it all. Great for both adults and children, it consists of more than 80 mandalas that represent emotions, qualities and behaviors, both positive and negative. They are arranged in pairs; for example: happiness/sadness, success/failure, courage/fear. By coloring them, you'll learn to express emotions in a healthy way and gain access to mental energy and new possibilities. The book is divided as follows: an introduction by clinical psychologist Dr. Hamarova with spiritual insight, reflective ideas, a brief discussion about emotions, and about using mandalas as a healing tool. This book also has a corresponding app that allows you to access constantly updated mandalas. Dr. Hamarova writes, "All that we don't want to have in our lives, all that we try to erase or ignore, doesn't just disappear. It "hides" in the unconscious mind. And these unwanted negative qualities, emotions, and behaviors are called the "shadow."" - Mandalive is seen as a tool to release these shadows and negative qualities. She believes it's important to reflect upon and work with both negative and positive emotions and so each mandala in this book has a pair (happy/sad, success/failure, etc). But it's not just a mandala that you're colouring in this workbook, you are also working through valuable and insightful questions that really tap into your spiritual psyche and have you reflect deeply on what your feeling. Each mandala also has an intention which is such an important addition to each one.
