How I meditate with my eyes wide open. Seriously!

Serious fun that is.

There are many meditations out there and for the most part they want you to close your eyes, focus on your breathing, and allow the words to come in and out of you.

Sound — solid advice.

But what if you could color yourself into a state of calm and focus on words that allow you to see the greatness that is you and your life?

That is exactly what Coloring Mantra Mandalas® sets out to help you achieve. Pull out your markers, colored pencils, or crayons and sit down with a Mantra Mandala that inspires you. (psst you can download a Mantra Mandala Coloring page from here: Free Coloring Pages)

Want more than our word on the matter?
