Excellent packaging, which makes it an ideal journal to have with you at all times; office, home, or meditation/contemplation respites in nature. Business travel and airports stress me. Packing my mandala coloring books for easy access during flights, has eased my stress level by giving me something to focus on, that brings me pleasure and a sense of peace. Martha Bartfeld's Mandala Coloring Book is now my 'travel companion, in-flight activity and stress reliever of choice', due mainly to it's compact size and the ease and convenience to carry. I highly reccomend this book to people of all ages. I especially reccomend this collection of mandala imagery to anyone interested in expanding their consciousness, imagination and creativity! Bravo!

The Magic Mandala Coloring Book is an extraordinary right brain experience...and more. The images stretch and pull you into other dimensions. Here you can glimpse the vastness and wholeness of the universe. But this book isn't just an experience for the mind. It is as if in the process of coloring the mandalas you can actually feel other dimensions conveyed through every cell of your body. Truly remarkable.

This book is ideal for medical centers, especially their departments of occupational therapy, rehabilitation, and social services. It would also be an asset in halfway houses for mentally challenged adults and in assisted-living nursing homes. It would be of special benefit to stroke patients, trauma survivors, the chronically ill and bedridden, and children with Down's Syndrome.

I recently conducted a children's workshop that introduces children to connecting with Spirit. During the workshop, I had the children color one of Martha's mandalas. The response was amazing. First, they were all so intrigued by the patterns and shapes. So, they spent some time just looking at the mandala and 'taking in' the image. Then, we all were coloring and I could see that all of us were connecting with the higher realms. We had a wonderful time coloring and I believe that the children were awakened to the power of sacred geometry. This is a book that I have listed in my handbook as part of my recommended reading and I would encourage all parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, sisters, and brothers to get this book for the children they love and for themselves!

Since having Martha Bartfeld's Magic Mandala book in my waiting room, I now have some patients come early for their appointments just to color in the book. I recently opened the book to find nearly all the pages colored in. Both adults and children delight in the beautiful mandalas. This book is a must for any physician's or therapist's waiting room. It is also the perfect gift for someone of any age.

My mother, an Alzheimer patient, insists on coloring the mandalas all day and well into the night. She has become more coherent and coloring has given her a new incentive for livingl

This coloring book has 200 mandalas and they seem to be made for every occasion. I have found that some of them make me feel more relaxed, others more energized. I've also found that at some times I feel more drawn to specific mandalas - so if you happen to feel the same way - perhaps you'd photocpy them and then you may also feel inspired to use different colors on same designs. If you color in this book, you need to use color pencils or crayons else the color will bleed through the pages.
The author suggests to hold your left hand over the mandala for a while to absorb / align with its energy. I have found, though that whether I hold my left hand or not, I can feel the designs act in a certain way to different parts of my body (not only on my mind or emotions), some relaxing and calming, other energizing. All in all it has been a very interesting experience.

this coiled book can be folded over for ease of coloring. one must use pencil crayons; not felt as it would bleed through the pix on the other side of the page. these mandalas are small and so comforting as can be completed in a short amount of time. i find i add auras and go over the lines in different depths of color as i go thru the book - i started at the beginning of the book and see my progress of colors and styles. Being coiled, it's idea for photocopying. i color this book and have another mandala coloring book i ask my friends to color a mandala for me (we color together; me with my book and the one i picked for them). we listen to tapes while we color or just chat. They date the mandala they have colored (so so i). I will cherish my friendship book 4-ever. of all the mandala coloring books i ordered, i kept this smaller one just for me. it has lots of mandalas but is smaller than an 8X11 sheet. i highly recomend this book.

My six-year-old daughter loves the magical qualities of the mandalas. She takes extra care coloring each one and displays them proudly. It is her favorite book.

This book contains small pieces of the universe that can heal your core, connect your soul, brighten your energy, and bring you toward wholeness in a matter of moments
