Drawing the traditional circular designs known as mandalas is a meditative practice, a healing exercise in times 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: For Insight, Healing, and Self-Expression
While I long ago read the text on mandalas and stages of growth and development and religious/sacred influences at the beginning of this coloring book and that accompany each picture, I left it on my "reading" list until today when I truly finished coloring the last picture since I did in fact often jump around in the book, re-reading sections, contemplating and, yes, coloring in a variety of mediums from oil to pencil watercolors to crayon and colored pencils to colored markers and metallic pens. The earliest date I see notated was spring/summer of 2004 on two pictures so I've left that as the "start" date for reading.
For me, coloring is where I can let go of all the normal word-oriented prayer and writing I do. It may arise from strong feelings or a desire for self expression or a kid place of filling in the shapes, but the mandala coloring book allowed for flowing reflection and connection to universal forms without language being the predominant conveyer. As a reader, I consume and savor words, but there are times when the words can take back seat to the actual story. This was a narrative in form, for which I'm grateful.
