Bite-Size Mandalas: Coloring + Mindfulness Messages (Heart Mandalas)

Bite-Size Mandalas: Coloring + Mindfulness Messages (Heart Mandalas)

Need a brief time away from technology? This beautiful, original book gives you bite-sized designs to color that you can probably finish in one sitting. While it offers many simple designs, it gives people the options to either zone out, "brain-floss" and dump what they don't need, or to introspect actively in order to find out their decision-making style. Artist and inventor Tali Lehavi, the inventor of the heart hand gesture and the entire niche of coloring books for adults, created this unique book to provide what other coloring books do not. And lots of people could use just what it has to offer. It has simple designs that are genuinely relaxing. Finally! The designs have obvious patterns if your brain wants to deal with patterns--and you find out quickly by having your attention purposely directed to that. You can choose the level of complexity that you want to adhere to or ignore, which will reflect on your needs outside of the pages. In addition, Lehavi builds the designs progressively, starting with really simple ones (that you could vent on, practice your color choices, or add details "to complicate."). You have freedom and all your choices are welcome. There is no right or wrong. By making simple coloring choices, Lehavi guides you to listen to the conversation in your head. She makes sure you have good posture, use your best abdominal breaths, and say only nice words to yourself. In the end, you achieve what she has termed "Hemispheric Harmony." It's the ideal state of mind in which you make decisions that have complete respect and peace with your gut and left and right brain hemispheres. This will be a great gift for those people who panic when they have to improvise or think out of the box, as well as for those who are always creative and don't like structure. It's also a very positive, empowering book. Over 70 designs are on the right side of the page, with insights, inspiration, and gentle guidance on the left. The print is in large format which makes it easier on the eye for a variety of needs. It is appropriate both for the very young and the very old. All the patterns are 100% made of hearts, per Lehavi's trademark style.
