It's mindfulness times two! Color and then fold with Meditative Origami: Finding Mindfulness Through Coloring and Origami by origami expert John Montroll. Begin by choosing an image to color. There are 23 detailed illustrations in a variety of patterns such as mehndi, arabesque, seashells, mandala, bird, mosaic, flowers, succulents, fruits and nature. Use your own colored pencils and/or markers to color. Each drawing has an inspirational quote to meditate upon while you're coloring it. A sample page is shown below - the seashells pattern. Remove the page from the pad by cutting along the solid line. I used a paper cutter. You're left with an 8" (20 cm) square. It's a very nice size for folding and the paper is good quality. Pick 1 of 10 origami models to fold. I began with the heart. All of the designs are listed below. Each has large, clearly diagrammed instructions with symbols and text. They conform to the internationally approved Yoshizawa-Randlett system. Dover Publications released the 64 page paperback on November 13, 2019. Get your copy below!

ReplyDeleteDo you realize there's a 12 word phrase you can tell your man... that will trigger intense feelings of love and instinctual attractiveness for you buried inside his chest?
ReplyDeleteBecause deep inside these 12 words is a "secret signal" that fuels a man's instinct to love, worship and look after you with his entire heart...
12 Words Who Fuel A Man's Desire Response
This instinct is so hardwired into a man's genetics that it will drive him to try harder than ever before to to be the best lover he can be.
In fact, triggering this influential instinct is so essential to having the best ever relationship with your man that once you send your man one of the "Secret Signals"...
...You will soon notice him open his soul and mind to you in a way he haven't experienced before and he'll recognize you as the only woman in the universe who has ever truly interested him.
