I received a colouring in book as a gift from a friend a while back - who thought I may have needed to take some time out for me! I love it!
It took me back to being a child and care free - I allocate an hour a week to sit with my pencils and colouring in book!
(You can pick these up now at bookshops like Dymocks or order online)
I got the Secret Garden version. You can order online via Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Garden-Inky-Treasure-Coloring/dp/1780671067 or in bookstores like Dymocks. There is also Zen tangle which is a style of free hand drawing of structured patterns. So many things to do that keep you in the moment. x
I first saw these type of books just before I started treatment. A good friend then gave me one as a gift. I haven't done much, but I love it

Interesting thing before my young 21yr old Daughter had a break down she began to by coloring books and colour in them, we didn't find them till she was in the psyc unit, they told me it's a revert back to childhood as it was a comfort and took your mind away. Funny how things come about. Adean xx
I really want one if those books. I have been reading lots about it. Apparently very good for those of us who don't meditate well. I think I may have mentioned to you that I meditate daily, however spend most of my meditation making mental shopping lists or planning what to have for dinner.
definately plan to get one.
