Publisher's Synopsis
Adult Coloring Book: 30 Beautiful Dogs at Play for Stress-Free Living is an inspirational tool for the art of relaxation. Art therapy to soothe the soul is one of the simplest methods to wind down from the stresses of modern life. "Art is born in attention," states Julia Cameron in her seminal book, "The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity." When we divert our attention from the mundane and taxing vicissitudes of life onto the present moment in creative play, the brain relaxes and becomes still. It is an exquisite form of meditation and if we create beautiful objects too, we have the best active meditative process known to human kind. If we observe mammals licking their fur in slow rhythm, methodically stroking themselves with eyes half-closed, this a is similar meditation. It is as if they rock themselves to sleep with the movement and nurturing of this primal instinct. We take longer to wind down particularly in this supersonic age, so taking a pencil or crayon to shade, draw or trace a shape is a wonderful way to still ourselves before we too prepare to rest for the day.
