Keep On Turning AntiStress Mandala Coloring Book Allie Vane

60+ swirly mandala designs




A world of relaxation just waiting to open up between your hands.




Did that sound a little dramatic? Maybe a touch. Although the fact remains that coloring, especially swirly, loopy, twisty mandala patterns, has a whole host of relaxing, stress-busting, and downright therapeutic effects. You know how some people keep talking up the benefits of meditation? Coloring is a good way to get in a state akin to meditation, or mindfulness, or whatever else you might want to call it. What's more, it works especially well when you think meditation sounds hokey (because this isn't it!), or when you want to give that mindfulness thing a try, but find your mind wanders on you if you do. You know how things can feel overwhelmingly routine sometimes? Coloring is a great way to get your creativity unblocked. Besides the fact that getting into the details of the colors and shapes helps stretch you creatively, there's an actual, direct link between our hands and our brain. So picking up a pencil or a marker or a pen and a coloring pattern helps strengthen or reforge some pretty essential connections. You know how you can be stuck on a problem and the answer comes to you when you're in the shower or doing the dishes or tossing a salad? Coloring has that same brain-unplugging effect that lets your brain tease out an answer you've been looking for without any conscious pressure on your part. You know how more and more of us have eye strain, tension headaches, and attention spans that make a goldfish want to hang its head in shame? Coloring is a great way to do some digital detox. Not just because you swap the harsh blue light from your phone or computer screen for the matte and tactile delights of a good old piece of paper, but also because the pages aren't a wham-bam five-minute affair that you work up quickly and set aside for a new session of "I'm bored with the internet, lemme open another browser window and see I can scroll through."




Not to mention, we don't actually need everything to have a mile-long list of benefits, and the fact about coloring is that it's just plain fun!




So grab this book today to get your eyes and hands and coloring tools on over 60 beautiful, swirly, full-page designs you can color to your heart's content.
