Imperfect Prayers - Hand Drawn Mandala Coloring Book Gina Mauro

Artist and mystic Gina Mauro presents her first published collective medicine offering. This coloring book includes 30 mandalas drawn while in prayer and petition to The All-There-Is for the wellbeing and healing of all sentient creatures. Join her in this intimate and imperfect meditation for global healing. Mandalas are a divine technology, portals invoked worldwide by all sorts of people for many different spiritual and emotional reasons. Along with the famous Tibetan monks' intricate and devotional sand mandalas, average folks intuitively doodling mandalas, or coloring in a mandala coloring book is a known stress-reducer. Akin to the dopamine release of a jigsaw puzzle (each piece is a small shot and finishing the whole puzzle is a proper cascade) the mandala offers a similar path to natural joy. There's nothing like watching each ring of the mandala fill in piece-by-piece and build towards such a mind-bending blossom. From the Artist: "I love drawing mandalas, it feels so good. But I literally have never finished a mandala in an adult coloring book. I wanted to make something that people could enjoy coloring and achieve the added feel-good booster of having a beautiful completed piece of art within the course of an hour."
