Some people even use it as a vehicle of attaining mindfulness. It has become a new modality of mindful meditation. Similar to a conventional meditation approach by focusing your attention actively on a simple repetitive task such as reciting a mantra, colouring is an effortless approach of focusing your mind and blocking out the intrusive thoughts. When you are colouring small shapes of confined areas, your mind will involuntarily focus onto the areas you are working at. This will help you let go of your everyday stress and negative thoughts and a mindful reverie of profound tranquillity will emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBenefits of colouring mandalas including: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCultivating artistic insight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproving sleep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLowering blood pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlleviating stress and anxiety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProviding a platform of self-reflection and self-discovery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromoting tranquillity and Zen mindfulness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are 44 beautiful mandalas of traditional and modern Chinese designs in this colouring book including symbols such as dragons, phoenix, bats, happiness, blessing and Buddhist mudras etc. Each design is printed on a single sided sheet to avoid bleeding through. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e There are 8 experiment pages which you can utilise for experimentation of colouring techniques, such as mixing and blending with different media.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharles Chan is a modern Taoist, a martial artist, a sculptor, an animator, an artist of traditional Chinese ink painting, western wet and dry media painting\/drawing as well as digital media.
