The Open Mind has “22 Printable Mandala & Abstract Colouring Pages For Meditation & Stress Relief.” They can be found at: http://www.the-open-mind.com/22-printable-mandala-abstract-colouring-pages-for-meditation-stress-relief/.
Here are some suggestions that they have about coloring: “Coloring allows to unlock your creative potential. Perhaps more important, it helps relieve tension and anxiety. It unlocks memories of childhood and simpler times. As psychologist Antoni Martínez explains: “I recommend it as a relaxation technique. We can use it to enter a more creative, freer state. I recommend it in a quiet environment, even with chill music. Let the color and the lines flow.””
Here are a few examples”

According to TED.com : “Deep in the Himalayas, on the border between China and India, lies the Kingdom of Bhutan, which has pledged to remain carbon neutral for all time. In this illuminating talk, Bhutan’s Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay shares his country’s mission to put happiness before economic growth and set a world standard for environmental preservation.”
“Tshering Tobgay went from civil servant to politician to prime minister — all the while maintaining his star social media profile in one of Asia’s most progressive emerging states. As the second democratically elected Prime Minister of Bhutan, Tobgay continues to emphasize his country’s core value of happiness.”
“Bhutan’s acclaimed “Gross National Happiness” index prioritizes well-being over financial growth. But Tobgay also seeks to solve Bhutan’s great challenges: unemployment, poverty, gaps in education and infrastructure. WIth a foundation of optimism, his administration and the country’s young democracy hope to become a paragon of stability in the developing world.”
This country isn’t just carbon neutral, it’s carbon negative by Tshering Tobgay
For those of you not familiar with TED Talks here is a brief summery from www.ted.com: “TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences — the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK each summer — TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and Open TV Project, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize”

Today I’ve got more mandalas to color, this time made by WelshPixie who posts on boredpanda.com. Here is what she says about her mandalas:
“For the mandalas, I draw patterns and scan them onto the computer. I use Photoshop to flip and copy them into a full circle, so that the patterns repeat almost perfectly.
For the doodles, I draw straight onto paper with black ink pens, and let the imagination flow. I don’t start with any pre-conceived ideas, I just draw a central shape and then build up shapes and patterns around it. I use a thicker 0.5mm pen for the main shapes, and then fill in detail with a finer 0.3mm nib. The doodling itself is just as relaxing as the coloring-in afterwards!
I provide the full-size files for free download, all at 600DPI and high resolution for high printing quality so that anyone can download, print and color my art for free, and hopefully find it as relaxing as I do.”
Here are three examples of her work:
You can find large images high resolution copies of these and other mandalas, ready to print and color at: http://www.boredpanda.com/beautiful-detailed-line-art-free-to-print-and-colour/
Enjoy!
