Book Hero thinking about your next read

The third book in the new and exciting Reverse Coloring Book series, where the book has the colors and you draw the lines, finding your creativity and mindful relaxation as you go. This book will focus on the shapes, colors, and inspirations that bring up mindfulness and meditation, including mandalas and nature images.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

It’s like meditation with a pen. With the colours set down, you begin to make lines—lines that calm you, lines that inspire you, lines that absorb you. Until the world, and your thoughts, fall away and all that’s left is a perfect flow of attention and concentration. It hardly matters what you make. It’s the act of making that liberates you from distraction and busyness.

Each of the first two Reverse Coloring books, with over 205,000 copies in print in just a year, frees the imagination and encourages the user to be calm and creative. But Mindful Journeys takes it one step further with 50 new and original watercolours created specifically to promote mindfulness.

Abstract compositions in calming blues and greens. A shower of circles that suggests the infinity of the sky. Swirls of flowery patterns that evoke mandalas. Spiritual symbols, like a yin-yang, a hamsa hand, a flaming heart. Watery waves, and a curling peacock feather.

The possibilities are endless. Trace, sketch, doodle, shade, cover with dots or make a world of images. And lose yourself in time and space. Images in the book are printed on sturdy paper that’s single-sided and perforated. All you need is your favourite pen.

At the centre of that vision was Noel Crombie—percussionist, performer and the...
