According to TED.com: For those of you not familiar with TED Talks here is a brief summery of them 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.
I’ve been an avid fan of the TV show “So You Think You Can Dance” since it’s second season (not sure how I missed out on the first). Through this show I have not only expanded my appreciation of traditional dance forms, but I’ve learned about and come to love the many forms of “street dance” that are spreading across the planet. Human creativity seems to have no limit and when I saw this post on TED, I knew I had to share it with you.
According to TED:
The LXD (the Legion of Extraordinary Dancers) electrify the TED2010 stage with an emerging global street-dance culture, revved up by the Internet. In a preview of Jon Chu’s upcoming Web series, this astonishing troupe show off their superpowers.
The LXD (the Legion of Extraordinary Dancers) are building an interactive web series that represents the next evolution of dance. Homepage: thelxd.com
Enjoy!

Each week for the next 3 Mondays I am featuring a mandala coloring tip from Mandala Coloring Meditation Kit 2.0 along with a free mandala to color For a complete experience of mandala coloring see the product: Mandala Coloring Meditation Kit 2.0
This week’s tip and mandala from Mandala Coloring Meditation Kit 2.0
TIP 1) Take care of your body and your working space
As you probably know: when you color mandala coloring pages, you plug into the creative forces of the Universe. Being in this state of creative consciousness gives such a nice feeling, that you often forget you have a body at all!
Through your body with your hands coloring the mandalas, you manifest the creative energy. Taking care of your body means taking care of the channel through which the creative forces of the Universe flow.
Often I see people coloring mandala coloring pages and, at the same time, building up tension in their shoulders, their necks, their backs, by sitting in a bad position. I invite you to really take care of your body; it is one of the greatest gifts of the Universe. And this gift, our body, includes our very important spine.
You are as young as the condition of your spine. So when you color mandala coloring pages, always remember to sit as straight as possible. In this way, you assist your nervous system for an optimal creative flow through your spine, brains, arms, hands, and pencils! Your back & neck will be very grateful to you!
But don’t force yourself! Surrender to the creative flow. And when you notice that you are sitting in a so-called unhealthy position, gently correct yourself. Or stand up, shake your body, shoulders, arms and then continue your mandala coloring experience.
Here is this week’s mandala to color:
To download a large image for coloring right-click on the image above and select “Save Target As…” or “Save File As…” or “Save this Link as..” (depending on what browser you use). Mac users with a 1 button mouse can control/click rather than right-click.
Enjoy and come back next week for a new tip and mandala to color!
