Gorgeous! Beautiful and inspiring.
This isn't a book of blank mandalas to color. Instead, this is 52 different mandalas already printed in color for meditation. A short discussion of each mandala and some ideas of what to notice and think about are included for each picture. Some of the madalas are traditional ones we are already acquainted with, and some are modern interpretations of ideas in mandala form. They are all ...

Great introduction
I've been really interested in symbols and this book gives a good overview of a wide variety - it cuts across all sorts of religions and categorizes symbols into chapters that make comparison easy. I particularly like the chapter on the Natural World where elements such as trees are discussed across many cultures. Really neat. I have the 1993 edition and the pictures are terrific. I say that ...

Engaging, imaginative book for parent and child
I read this book nightly to my 7-yo. It begins with information for parents on ways to use the book to connect with their kids. Written in a soothing tone, the stories begin asking the child to imagine a magic lantern that takes him/her on a path into each story. Quite uniquely told. At the end of these creative stories are "affirmations" that reinforce messages in the stories, but also offer ...

A WONDERFUL book to read, ponder...and BEHOLD
Trying to learn Zen from books can be ABSOLUTELY maddening. Some are clearly for people who already know something or know a lot and, to the beginner, these books often don't make sense. Then there are the "cutesy" books that talk down to the readers as if they have been lobotomized. I have to admit that I have been absolutely confused (or frustrated) about most of the many I have read....until ...

definitely 1001 elements described
A very full book - Each item (e.g. wheel) has a short paragraph as to what it may mean (e.g for Wheel - The prominence of a wheel may be a dynamic call to action...) Freudian and Jungian interpretations are included. After looking through the book though I pretty much decided that my dreams are my dreams and I need to just listen to myself and figure out the meaning. Some of the ideas in the ...

Lovely, Simple, and Straightforward
This is a most helpful and useful book. The exercises are quite lovely and straightforward, the explanations simple, and all the bases are covered (lucid dreaming, dream incubation, self-discovery through purposeful dreaming, dream interpretation). One of the most delightful aspects of the book is the collection of artwork and illustrations, which on their own provoke contemplation, and ...

A Balanced and Thoughtful Overview
I read this book several years ago and found it a bit confusing and even overwhelming at first. Still, it was enciclopediac and avoided the pedantry of the typical college textbook. I recently reread the whole book (Now that I have made some progress in my own mental development and have re-read sections)and really appreciate what the author accomplished. It is a great book.....balancing ...
