Book Wish List: Shambhala Inspired

"Shambhala Inspired" because all of these books come from a website I recently fell in love with http://www.shambhala.com/. I could stay on there all day just browsing and reading all the captions. Here's a little list I compiled. I hope to get each in the very near future though they're a bit pricey at around $20 each.

Coloring Mandalas 1

For Insight, Healing, and Self-Expression

By Susanne F. Fincher

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I might not have a lot of time to do these but I was looking for new techniques to add to my meditations.

 

"Drawing the traditional circular designs known as mandalas is a meditative practice, a healing exercise in times of crisis, and a pleasurable act of creativity. As a symbol of the Self, the mandala provides a connection to our innermost being. The forty-eight drawings presented here for coloring include designs inspired by forms of nature, Native American and Tibetan sand paintings, Hindu yantras, Turkish mosaics, the illuminations of Hildegarde of Bingen, and the art of M.C. Escher. These mandalas are organized according to the Great Round of Mandala, a scheme of twelve archetypal stages that represents a complete cycle of personal growth. Thus, to do the coloring book from start to finish will carry the reader through a balanced experience of change, guided by the accompanying text."

 

Felting for Baby

25 Warm and Woolly Projects for the Little Ones in Your Life

By Saori Yamazaki

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I mean the title alone just melted me! I was looking for a way to beging crafting/ making homemade items and starting with tiny baby pieces seems perfect!

 

"Make the projects in this book and add a touch of warmth to your nursery, crib, playroom, and beyond."

 

The Creative Family

How to Encourage Imagination and Nurture Family Connections

By Amanda Blake Soule

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think my tribe is pretty creative already but I couldn't pass up a book full of new ideas.

 

"This book embraces a whole new way of living that will engage your children’s imagination, celebrate their achievements, and help you to express love and gratitude for each other as a family."

 

I will probably make book review posts as I receive and read through them. I'll definitely post pics of the crafts/activities we try too. :)
