Coloring the traditional circular designs known as mandalas is a meditative practice, a healing exercise in times of crisis, and a pleasurable act of creativity. The forty-eight mandalas presented here, drawn by the author, are organized according to the Great Round of Mandala, a scheme of twelve archetypal stages that represents a complete cycle of personal growth. Inspirations for the designs include forms of nature, Native American sand paintings, Hindu yantras, stained-glass windows, and the art of M. C. Escher.

This book is a slightly revised edition of Coloring Mandalas 1.
