When was the last time you sat down with a coloring book and a pack of new crayons, colored pencils, or markers? I just adore the smell of a new box of crayons or pencils. There is something about it that is just so good! It’s right up there with the smell of a new book. In the past several years adult coloring books have really become popular and I honestly love to see that. I think many have realized the benefits of coloring like stress relief and boosting creative energy. It can also be amazing to help you connect with your intuition and your intuitive gifts.
Today I wanted to encourage you to take some time to color. Grab some pencils, crayons, or markers, whichever is your favorite to work with. Dedicate at least a half-hour or more to just relaxing and following what grabs your interest in a coloring book. If you can set up regular times to take part in coloring you will find it helps you to relax, find more happiness and it can even help you to connect to your intuition as you are giving your mind both time to relax and get creative.
I wanted to share with you a couple of my favorite coloring books today.
I love pretty much any coloring book by Johanna Basford as they are all just amazing. Her coloring book, The Enchanted Forest is my favorite book by her. If I had the means I would love to send all of you a copy of it. I have definitely spent many hours with this book. In addition to the pages to color there is also a puzzle that you work through as you color in the book. I thought the little addition of the puzzle just added to the enchanting energy of the book.
This is another coloring book that I absolutely adore. The Enchanted Mandalas book will provide you hours of relaxation. Mandalas are amazingly soothing to work with. They are an ancient tradition that can really raise your consciousness and your awareness as well as allowing you some creative time.
I also am the biggest fan of pretty much anything that Amy Cesari has created. She has the best magickal coloring books. She has so many books to choose from planners, journals, Book of Shadows, holiday coloring books and so much more. You can’t go wrong with her work. She also has a fantastic email list that she sends out free coloring pages on all the time.
I hope give yourself some extra time to be creative today and enjoy coloring!
Have a magickal day!
Much Love and Many Blessings,
