Zendala: Draw and colour meditative mandalas for inner calm

Zendala combines the centering qualities of the traditional Indian mandala with the therapeutic benefits of coloring. Susanne Schaadt introduces the principles behind the mandala tradition, then provides a variety of patterns for the reader to trace, color, or emulate. From the original mandala basis to variations on shape, pattern, or theme, there is a mandala for everyone. Begin by coloring the pre-drawn mandalas, then, once you have grown in confidence, follow the guidelines to create your own unique, calming designs. There really is no limit to creativity, and the more personal the design to you, the more therapeutic the process will be.
