OPENING TO LOVE: Soul Touch Coloring Journal (Center for Touch Drawing)

This is a coloring book that invites to be picked up, thumbed through, purchased, and loved because it evokes such curiosity--People will not even realized what it is at first that grabs them except that they like what they feel and will want to know more. What a treasure for people in their personal growth at their own pace one image at a time.These coloring books are not just for passing time they invite you to another dimension of coloring you might not have thought possible. Each person experiences these images differently as an energetic shift, a connection to a part of themselves, the kind that takes your breathe away and fills up your heart. Coloring the image, seeing it transform, rotating the paper to see it from many different angles evokes something beyond the ordinary experience of coloring. It is as if I have just experienced timelessness with an element of my own soul as I color. I cannot recall having ever had an experience of this kind from a coloring book. I actually made two of the images my iPhone’s lock screen and background wallpaper. Every time I pick up my phone, the eyes are staring back at me. For a split second I experience a knowing with the image, even in the midst of scheduling my work. This series of books is a must have and will give you joy exponentially.

love the meditation that colorering these pictures fosters

Deborah's finger-drawings are spellbinding and absolutely captivating. There is a sort of visible rhythm to them that you can feel, "hear" and see. They wake up your senses and, most of all, they wake up your heart.I just sat here and looked at each and every one. I was smiling the whole time. And saying "Yes" over and over because I somehow understood what I was looking at. It was the strangest thing: I felt I knew what Deborah was depicting but I could not put it into words. And that is the very best thing for me, when my verbal mind is still and another kind of knowing begins.THANK YOU. And for such a reasonable price for your wonderful books.

Amazing coloring books unlike all the other ones out there. They give you so much more freedom and also support your own creative vision. I highly recommend them!

Wow such a beautiful colouring book. I love it

「魂の表現」と呼ばれるタッチドローイングの絵がそのまま塗り絵となったものだが、これは通常の塗り絵を超えた深くパワフルな体験をもたらす。絵を眺めているだけでも内なる感覚が目覚め、色づけをしていると、さらに奥深くへと入って行く感覚がある。色づけをしながら、沈黙の中で絵と自分の内側との対話が始まり、それは、深く眠っていた感覚が記憶ととともに浮かび上がり、語りかけて来るようである。湧き上がる感情や感覚とともに私の「物語」が展開し、色を介して絵に生命が吹き込まれていく。この色づけのプロセスにおいて、私の中の何かが目覚め、新鮮な感覚となって、さらに創造したいという気持ちになる。絵自体が細かく仕切られていないため、自由度が高く、色づけそのものがクリエイティブになる。余白に文字を書き込んだり、自分が絵を描き足したりもできる。塗り終わったときの喜びと満足感は、通常の塗り絵では得られないもので、出来上がったものを何度見ても、そのつど根底から深い喜びが湧き起こる。
