Book Description
Adult coloring books have become the latest fad, with the rampant disharmony in people's lives, both professional and personal, giving rise to a desperate need for innovative ways of relieving stress. There is a big difference, however, between stress and creative tension. Stress is a conditioned reaction to circumstances that we unconsciously believe to be separate from ourselves and beyond our control; destructive precisely because it is outside the sphere and focus of our awareness. In complete contrast, creative tension is a chosen, disciplined response to seemingly paradoxical truths which involves holding the discomfort consciously within our own being until the energies merge, take form, and lift us up to a new dimension of reality. In the former case, we perceive ourselves as victims.In the latter, we know ourselves to be the co-creators not only of our own lives but of the Universe itself.

The Very Serious and Boring Coloring Book for Responsible Adults
Author: Derek Murphy
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781532757921
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 76
Book Description
This is a very serious adult coloring book.FOR GROWNUPS. Here's the thing, at some point we all grew up and stopped coloring. We stopped tapping into that source of pure creative genius, and started following rules. We forgot what creative freedom really felt like. We learned how to be functionally creative - as in, doing the things we are supposed to do. Usually other people's things. Because they wanted us to. Sometimes for money, sometimes as a favor. We forgot how it felt to create just because, and to do it our way. The adult coloring craze is a symptom of what we've lost, as grownups struggle to find peace and happiness in the face of a dream-crushing workplace and financial insecurity. But it isn't enough. Yes, colors can make you feel good. But those black lines on the page might as well be prison bars, locking up the creative child within who wants to color what they see in their imagination - not some other artist's. This BOOK WILL ASK YOU TO DO SOMETHING MUCH MORE DARING. It may challenge you. I want you to color without lines. I want you to color for yourself, without worrying about how "good" it is. Nobody else has to see this. This is just for you. And while I want to liberate your creativity, I also understand the importance, for adults, of doing meaningful things, and making the best use of your time. I understand you might feel silly for "wasting time" on coloring ridiculous things. And I know it may be hard to think of what to color. SO I'm going to lead you on an adventureof guided coloring exercises. These exercises are designed to be fun, but are also pragmatic. We'll be addressing your repressed dreams, your secret desires, your darkest fears. I'm going to use this book as an advanced-level form of aesthetic psycho-therapy, and through the coloring process you'll be exorcising your demons, slaying your dragons, and discovering the pot of gold at the end of your rainbow. This will be a fantastic journey, as grand as you can imagine it, with no pesky black lines to reign in your magical powers of creation. This isn't a test. If you don't know what something I ask you to draw looks like, find a picture online to copy. This also isn't a game: visualization is a powerful goal-setting technique. Think of this book like a vision board. Not only will these exercises strengthen and empower you, and fill you with confidence and valor, they will also help you become clear on what you really want out of life, and how to attract it to you. But the results depend on the commitment. Take your time, enjoy the coloring process, and express yourself. These are things that you may have thought about before, but rarely have committed serious energy towards. And you need to devote serious energy to these things. Because your life is serious, and what you think about matters. By forcing you to draw and color these things, instead of merely thinking of them, saying them out loud or even writing them down, you'll be giving these issues the consideration, attention and energy they deserve. Just remember, you control your life.You decide what happens. But you have to make choices and decisions, and you have to act consistently in ways that support those decisions. This book will help you get there.

The Reverse Coloring BookTM
Author: Kendra Norton
Publisher: Workman Publishing
ISBN: 1523515279
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
Coloring books became a thing when adults discovered how relaxing and meditative they were. Jigsaw puzzles roared back into popularity as an immersive activity, not to mention a great alternative to television. How exciting is it, then, to introduce an activity that tops them both: reverse coloring, which not only confers the mindful benefits of coloring and puzzling but energizes you to feel truly creative, even when you're weary and just want to zone out. It's so simple, yet so profoundly satisfying. Each page in The Reverse Coloring Book has the colors, and you draw the lines. Created by the artist Kendra Norton, these beautiful and whimsical watercolors provide a gentle visual guide so open-ended that the possibilities are limitless. Trace the shapes, draw in figures, doodle, shade, cover an area with dots. Be realistic, with a plan, or simply let your imagination drift, as if looking a clouds in the sky. Each page is an invitation to slow down, let go, and thoughtfully (or thoughtlessly) let your pen find its way over the image. The Reverse Coloring Book includes 50 original works of art, printed on sturdy paper that's single-sided and perforated. And unlike with traditional coloring books, all you need is a pen.
