Mandala, Labyrinth, & Gratitude Resources
A human being is a part of this whole, called by us universe, limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires, and to a portion for a few persons nearer to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison, by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. ~Albert Einstein	Mandala Coloring Books The coloring book Everyone's Mandala Coloring Book by Monique Mandali can enhance your meditative practice. It's a great activity to do alone or with friends or family. Looking for music to color by? Try Windham Hill Chill, Vol. 2: it has an acoustic set and an ambient set. Both sets seamlessly run from one song to the next.
