Coloring the circular designs known as mandalas is a creative activity that brings relaxation, healing, and self-understanding. Susanne Fincher's first such coloring book, <i>Coloring Mandalas, </i> presented designs organized according to a scheme of twelve archetypal stages that represents a cycle of personal growth. This sequel focuses on a single one of these stages, "Crystallization," which is associated with the <i>completion</i> of a cycle of growth. <br><br>Imagine a fully opened rose in a sunny garden, releasing its fragrance as it gently bobs in a summer breeze. This is the feeling of the stage of Crystallization—a time of reaping rewards and benefits from the work we have performed; of realizing and appreciating our achievements; of resting in the pleasure of having fulfilled a personal creative inspiration. Crystallization is also a time of significant spiritual understanding, when our spiritual nature comes together in harmony with our physical nature. <br><br> The mandalas in this book aim to: <br> <br>   •  Help us understand ourselves and our place in the scheme of things <br>   •  Evoke a sense of harmony, order, and fulfillment <br>   •  Provide relaxation and a soothing balance for hectic lifestyles <br>   •  Uncover meaning in the ongoing stream of human experience <br>   •  Deepen our meditation <br>   •  Enable us to experience the spiritual energy that inspired these sacred circles
