DESCRIPTION:
More than just a meditation exercise, coloring in the drawings is meant to acquaint users with the subtleties of each goddess and begin to connect them to the Hindu practice of deity worship. Be sure to remind customers that they can read all about these goddesses before they gift the book to someone else.” —Anna Jedrziewski, Retailing Insight. Of course, there’s nothing to prevent customers from coming up with their own inventive color combinations. “Ellik is an artist, poet, and teacher of tantric yoga who is sought after for his detailed drawings of deities. Collectors of his work ask many questions about the intricacies of his drawings and he decided that the time was right to put that information, with the drawings, into a book. Traditional color ways for each goddess are provided in Ellik’s written description. Beautiful, interactive, and filled with information, this will make a very special gift
The Shakti Coloring Book was created to help you begin to activate the transformational currents of this sacred power in your own life—even if you’ve never considered yourself an artist. The term Shakti refers to the creative power of divinity—what artist and teacher Ekabhumi Charles Ellik calls “the electric juice of life.” Shakti is personified by an array of revered goddesses who represent universal virtues and archetypal energies we all share. Part three, “Coloring Shakti,” presents 21 stunning images of goddesses paired with 21 mystic diagrams to color and meditate upon as portals to new insight, transformation, and, ultimately, self-realization. “Making sacred art is a type of meditation,” explains Ekabhumi, “helping us to come into stillness, focus our attention, and align with the principles portrayed in our artworks.” Is there a virtue or trait that you would like to cultivate or strengthen? Are you looking for a way to deepen or expand your spiritual practice? Do you feel compelled by the beauty, mystery, and power of the goddesses? If so, The Shakti Coloring Book gives you a resource you will turn to time and again for inspiration, support, and self-expression.. The book concludes with “Manifesting Shakti,&rdq
"Great concept - poor technical production." according to Julienne G.. Loads of detail and information from an author who is both expert and sincere. The major drawback - and the only reason it's not 5 stars is that the paper is quite thin and not great to actually use as a coloring book. I would have gladly paid more for a book with paper thick enough and appropria. Informative and beautifully done A beautiful book with informative background for each of 11 goddesses and the meaning of the symbols and imagery used in the yantras and figurative drawings. I read Sally Kempton's book on Awakening Shakti and this is a great companion to it (he illustrated her book as well). The reason I gave it. Beautiful Book Excellent Artwork Content:This book is not for women who are ashamed of the female body and think it's "dirty". This book is also not for those who can't handle violence in ancient religions. Now, if you are an honest seeker of Shakti, what it means to be Shakti, and The meaning of the colorscapes to religous art
