Drawing the traditional circular designs known as

of crisis, and a pleasurable act of creativity. As a symbol of
the Self, the mandala provides a connection to our innermost
being. The forty-eight drawings presented here for coloring
include designs inspired by forms of nature, Native American and
Tibetan sand paintings, Hindu yantras, Turkish mosaics, the
illuminations of Hildegarde of Bingen, and the art of M.C.
Escher. These mandalas are organized according to the Great
Round of Mandala, a scheme of twelve archetypal stages that
represents a complete cycle of personal growth. Thus, to do the
coloring book from start to finish will carry the reader through
a balanced experience of change, guided by the accompanying
text.

Coloring Mandalas 2
For Balance, Harmony, and Spiritual Well-Being
By Susanne F. Fincher
(Paperback, 10" x 10", 160 pages)
ISBN 978-1-59030-086-2
$18.95 |
(from the publisher)
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

Coloring Mandalas 3
Circles of the Sacred Feminine
By Susanne F. Fincher
(Paperback, 10" x 10", 136 pages)
978-1-59030-302-3
$18.95 |
(from the publisher)
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.
